  1. Tried backwheel hops?

    And I agree, try different things and ride at different places, and ride as much as possible to get a good feeling for your bike.

    When I started out I only rode at the same place, doing the same ups and endo sidedrops over and over again..

    It took me longer to learn other stuff, than it probably should have.

    Good luck, and keep practicing!

  2. I'd like to give my input on things..

    I have an onza t-bird aswell, and I have to agree that the standard brakes arent the best option.

    The link to the magura EVO mount adapter in previous post didnt work for me so here is the correct url:

    I also agree with BJ Hymes that the EVO mounts are annoying and hard to live with.

    I have them on my main bike, and although the braking is top-notch, its a real pain to get them setup Just the way you want them.

    The little "plastic" adaptor thingy, which you use to fasten the top part of the brakemount, is all bent and doesnt fit so good anymore. (atleast on my bike)

    A new frame with 4 mounting holes in the rear would be nice!

    But hey!

    Dont let this stop you, because the hs33's are really good, and you will definately be pleased with them :)

  3. Hi!

    My name is Daniel, and im a trial-o-holic.

    Last year I bought my first "real" trials specific bike, although I have done trials moves on all my bikes since I was a little kid.

    I am probably too old for this, (28) but I gave up skateboarding, aggressive-inline, bmx, and all regular sports like soccer and golf.. for biketrials.

    And ofcourse I have never regretted it. Everywhere I go I see obstacles just waiting to be mastered ;)

    When I was younger I used to watch motorcycle trials on Eurosport, and I have always loved coordination and pure skill sports, guess thats why I love this :)

    I live in Gothenburg, Sweden and mostly I do all my riding alone :( though I have a friend about to buy a trialsbike soon :)

    Too bad the trials-scene isnt that big in our town.

    Well, after one year of riding I see great improvement of my skill, although I have MUCH to learn :)

    Maybe I'll put some little movie online one day.. Who knows

    Talk to you guys soon!

    Take care!
