  1. Or, what I do, Its quite complicated but I have the faith that you can do it. Put your bike down, Have you got it so far? Then, you sit on the ground. Hope you manage that.
  2. Because when your learning it, you put a lot of pressure on the front wheel, And when you dont do it right and start falling, again, HEAPS of weight on the front wheel. Believe me, it happened to me.
  3. CRAP! Danny has come so far since the first video!
  4. Good to see your getting a mod! But BB5's are great, They dont feel as good as hydrolics but only by a little, they have small pads, so they grip realy well!
  5. I went aound on my trials bike to big shops and asked if they had any free ones. When they ask what I wanted them for I said "I want to ride my weird bike over them" They normaly laugh. But seriously they should have some old ones they dont need, Mostly they have to pay for them and they get their back for sending them ack, So you would have to pay a bit, but I wouldnt think to much.
  6. If you decide to get a 20". DO NOT do footjam tailwhips, you put nice big buckles in your front rim!
  7. I dont get it, England is roughly the same size as New Zealand, But there is only about 30-40 riders in the whole country. Why is that?
  8. Thats a nice looking bike you have there. But hows it standing up in the first picture? Thats got me stumped.
  9. Standard texting. Becasue Im a normal person.
  10. Hs33's are very reliable, but because they are a rim brake, if you get a buckle in your wheel, they will feel weird. I have a DD CZAR 20" that came with Juicy 3's, Which were the stupidest brakes ever! I went through 2 back brakes because the seals broke and fluid leaked onto the disk, so I dont recomend you get a Juicy 3. I then got two Hayes Stroker Rydes that were real good for a long time, but with constant hard pressure on them, the back began to leak. So now I have the Hayes on the front and a BB5 on the back, with Avid lever which is going great! Cables dont have as gooder feel as hydrolics, but work better. I recomend a BB5 or BB7 because they have real small pads, meaning better braking power. And thats my two cents, Back to you Tomm.
  11. Zoar - August Burns Red. listen to it, its INSANE!
  12. That was some great riding in the video! But why didnt they show any of the guy with the mod riding/ And whats up with the dogs? You Europeans are weird!
  13. Before I got a trials bike (November 2008) I was using a Specialized P2, and I was hopeless and could only balance, do little hops and fall off. People do turn STP's into trials bikes, But they are heavy and not as good. A trials bike has completetly different geometry than a jump bike, Mind you a STP is a better trials bike than a P2. Im from New Zealand (That little place by Australia) and Theres only about 30-40 riders in the whole country of 4 milion, so I dont know if there of any companies in the USA, your local bike shop should know, or find out for you. There are American riders in Trials Forum that can provide useful information to you, also http://www.observedtrials.net/ has more American riders than Trials Forum. Asking there would also be good, But you should find out here. Correct me if Im wrong.
  14. Yeah I think stocks kinda look out of proportion with the wheels the size they are compared to the frame. Would get a Adamant A1 if I was to get a stock
  15. MOD! Thinking about getting a stock though
  16. Adamant A3. Because it looks cooler!
  17. If I was on the laptop with iTunes I would be listening to UnderOATH. Most likey the song Emergency Broardcast:The End Is Near or Too Light To See Too Loud To Hear
  18. Hold up, now that I look at my feet, Im actualy left foot foward forward. Forget my previous post.
  19. Im the same as you, right foot foward and only that way. I cant even ballance left foot foward its too un natural. But its all down to practice, its just like when you first start learning to balance, you can only do it for a few seconds, but over time you get better and better. just keep practicing it to you get it.
  20. Im in love with danny MacAskill now. I want to give him a hug! Im sooo jelous of the people that have meet him! He just knows how to put people into a trance with his riding! I know hes the best street rider in the world, But what is his trials ranking?
  21. Untrue! I've seen a trials motorbike from the 50's, It didnt have any rear suspension. Back then they just rode around tight sections, nothing compared to trials nowadays. Trials has realy only just kicked off, e.g. A 1970's Yamaha Ty250 could be used for anything, you could put road tyres on it and road gear and its a road bike, because they had a seat you could do trail rides on them. They only lost there seats mid 80's, I dont know if you already knew this, but Im telling you anyway
  22. Yeah,

    Once you add shipping onto it, it starts to get a bit pricey!

    Thanks

  23. Thanks.

    I had a look at that Australian website but it didnt have anything about the 4play
