  1. I love using cage pedals, only reason i stoppeed using them is cos if i came up short ona gap or something the cage rips of the pedal body. platforms, over all are better, not with out it's draw bks. losing pins, shin gashes, weight ect...
  2. bargin get it!!! wicked bikes to ride!!!
  3. you don't need a front brake!!! just press the front wheel against a curb or use a footjam to endo?!!!?!?!
  4. nice riding...pitty the music was in the bkground. squeekin was doing my head in.
  5. just a thought, where you at the london ride march?i remember a young lad riding the Sky! if it was you, i was watching you at the first area when jack made his speach!
  6. Try turning more into the hop. the turn is were the momentum come from.....as you compress and then repress for the hop turn and try and through your hips were the front wheel was while bending you knees and arms!!! or try rock walk stylee.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szSlQ-AVl40...re=channel_page heres the main page. check some of the vids loads of stuff you could be trying, think it's pages 5 to 7 are all the tutorial type stuff. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=sergit...os&start=80

  10. get some maxxis dual ply tyres, double side wall basicly. theres loads of different treds you can get, you'll almost never pinch again at 25psi+. 180 are wierd for me....started learning180s ona hill. roll up the hill at a good speed (jogging) as you slow down, hop high and spin at the same time. i'm right footed and bunny hop 180 to the left. so i turn to the left using my inner left leg and left foot to spin the bike. try and just spin 90, land it a couple of times get the feel, then go for the 180. i found it easier at first to lift both wheels at same time but if you can bunny hop say 20inch ok then you should be able to spin the first 90 on the back wheel, keep the momentum then hop the rest. but static 180's i'll spin to the right cos your using the drive train to crank the 180 so mst of my weight will be on the right peddle, so i'll spin right. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dYRbCR9BqA...F3&index=22
  11. Music was shockingly sh*t..... f**kin hate anything that sounds anything like 'cradle of filth.' shite!!!! Death metal/Trials......don't go. riding on the other hand was really cool. keep doing it, screw what anyone else says. i liked it!!! the tutorial was crap!!! couldn't hear a thing!!! did the people watching making the BMX comments acctually watch both clips......he dose ride BMX. nothing wrong with BMX inspired riding........ try tellin Danny Mac to get a BMX.....or dose he already ride one.............????!?!?!?!?!
  12. didn't like the tune at all but went really well. love the mix of natural and street. waiting on next vid!!!
  13. enough skillz there. very fluid.
  14. maybe wearing it too tight??? extra padding sould do the job! I used to get real bad head aches.... I cut coffee out my diet and nothing nowa days. Hydate more???
  15. see if you can borrow a 110mm, get the feel......i wouldn't go more than 120mm!!! personally go for 90mm/15. but i'm bout 6foot1.
  16. when alot of the people (mostly the older or lonely types) come up to you face to face and make a coment like ''I really hope you hurt really your self'' or ''you should be old enough to know better'' they will get jip bk. the usual anwer '' wasn't it your generation that said ''if you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything!'' someone ask me a genuin question i'll answer it to the best of my ability. give a little, get a little! ''wow how did you do that answer .... your mom taught me last night'' ... is abit out of order!!! I sin a bloke have the absalute sh*t kicked into him because he mentioned some-elses mum!?!!?? It's not easy to judge how far you can push someone!!! best bet don't!!!
  17. Personaly I don't like 4mm bolts, had far too many treads stripped because of them. (stems, brake mounts ect...) but thats just my preference.....other people will dissagree!!! If it was for a MTB i'd go for HOPE just for the style and garrenties. I ran a 50mm/10 on my t-rex and wasn't too bad. I'd go for the smaller one for the Inspired. stems are more personal choice. what do you want to do? more front wheel moves, more trialsy bkhoppy stuff or fluid BMXy stuff)bunny hoppy stuff???!?!?
  18. classic I use with other riders...... .....''you wheels moving!!!'' or ''you saddles gone''(if they happen to be sitting on one!!!!) just to see if they double check.
  19. that was cool, love the tune..... how long you been riding? what gear ratio you using.....looks really light!!?!? yeah...buy a lid!!! (a little hipacritical coming from me...lol!)
  20. Depends on how you blew it out...a dual ply tyre will sort 90% of pinch flats. on tyre size, for allround performance I use 2.35 dual ply maxxis minion (front) on the rear. and 2.0 try-all up front. Echo rear rim, and mavic d521 up front. most of the time I run bout 20/30psi depending on how trialsy (bouncey) i feel. I don't like the feel of the side wall colapsing when doing spinny moves or landing slightly sideways. i'll be honest, on the hole weight (suspention) thing i found trials more fun with sus forks (street stuff anyway.) I don't think that you need an overly light bike to ride trials........style it's what you make of it really. performance over wieght any day!!!!
