hello, i m currently using a pair of DMR v8's which unfortunately now have bent axles, doesn't surprise me though (they have been used on every one of my bikes, be it downhill, XC or most recently trials)
anyway more to the point, i now need new pedals, and because I'm still fairly new to trials, I dont know what to look for and what to stay away from !
so my question is: what pedals are you using ?and would you recommend them ? i don't really have a budget worked out, but i'm willing to spend a fair bit !
any help/info or whatever will be appreciated !
cheers, mark !

I'm using Sony Vegas at the moment, it seems to deal with a wide range of formats (but i would check it does yours before getting it because its a bit pricey)
I did use WMM to begin with but its a bit limited,
if your getting pretty serious about it, a good editing package is essential (well worth the money in most cases). But if your not serious, just search the web for free/cheap software ! that's what i would do anyway

Just go dig a hole and burrie yourself init. Jesus calm the f**k down. Standard pads on a stanard rim. With not even any tar, No wonder its crap.
Decent pads with a grind or tar etc.
Sorry Man, didnt mean to come across so angry, its just been bugging me for a while,
a thought that the pads that came on it would have been half decent
Cheers
oh, and use the search next time...plenty of topics like this
Ahh, not sure why i didnt try that, i'll remember that for next time, cheers

hello !
I ride an Onza Blade and have been for a few months now, it came fitted with Hs33 on the back and i was pretty happy about this because everyone says there so good !
however, they are absolutely crap !!!!
i can hold the brake on full and can still pedal away!
i don't have a brake booster on it (yet),
I'm running the standard pads
and i haven't touched my rim yet.
(also i'm not a big fan of tar on rims. . . dont ask why, i just don't like it)
any info that can tell me what will help, or what not to do will probably help
cheers

I must admit, i love this bike !

(started riding at Christmas) only thing is, i have no money to do anything to it right now

hey there,
Its kinda hard to decide what song to use without seeing the footage.
Also i haven't really herd either song before, but after listening to them just there, i think you should go with "Fort Minor - slip out the back" .
i think if you can get some sweet editing with some good slow shots and some nice fades between some clips then it should turn out quite good !
when your finished it would be quite good to see it, so try post it up (only if you want to though)
hope this helps !

Broke both bones in ma right leg diagonally up through the bones, longest brake was 10cm long
was out for 7 months !! was pretty gutted
happened at some dirt jumps a few years back after i said "I'll go for one last run" - i should have know not to say that
-
Very nice bike man !!!!!
I've got one sitting in my garage the exact same
!! lol -
I'm pretty much the same as you. started riding at Christmas and can do pretty much as u described, one thing that has helped a lot is trying to balance on the back wheel (helps loads while attempting pedal kicks) also, track standing is essential !! and you don't have to use a hill, even just practicing using the brakes helps (well, it has helped me)
those 2 things that have helped me loads,
track standing (with or without using brakes)
and trying to balance on the back wheel (also try doing small hops while on the back wheel to stabilize yourself)
Also like the other guys have been saying; watch videos of the web, gives you a good idea of the different techniques you can use !
hope this helps!

If it's cold enough to freeze your brake it's bound to be icy out anyway, so it's doubtful you'll ride in the ice. Please stop going on about it!!!
Just bleed it with water or oil! If you really wan't to ride in sub zero temperatures, antifreeze it!! End-of really!!

Lmfao!!
Well, if you find yourself stranded with your bike on a desert island with your bike, you have a little refreshment..
lol

Well Said Charlie !

Iv been riding for a few months now, and apart from a full face helmet (which i use for downhill) i haven't got a decent helmet for trials,
i know that just about everyone goes on about wearing them and I couldn't agree more !
i was just wondering what you all wear and what you all recommend, i need something fairly cheap (anywhere up to and around £30ish, although i will stretch the budget for some things)
any help will be great
cheers

Now that's pretty dam big !!!
-
yeah, i'm one of the brave people who went out in the cold
, although i didnt last that long. was just a bit to cold plus i couldnt do much with all the ice and snow 
. I did have a few falls, worst one resulted in a really soar back and wrist after the back wheel slipped off a rock and i went flying back to meet the ground. . . i dont think it likes me
bike was fine, but that was it for me.
back out an about now though !
sorry, no pics though

i live in a street that's got loads of younger kids in it. if they happen to see me out at ma garage working on ma bike (which happens all the time) there right up at me asking me to fix there bikes !! (which is usually stupid stuff like put a chain on when it comes off) and if i say no, next thing their in ma garage going through ma tools an stuff, so a chuck them out, not literally, and they go an get their mum or dad to come ask me to fix their bikes or to shout at me for telling their kids to get out ma garage !!!
drives me crazy !!!!
-
thanks guys, these should definitly help with things !!!
cant wait to get out there !!
-
yeah man, have done a bit of most stuff, mainly downhill and XC, would be good to see those vids aswell (if you dont mind)
am not bad at banance, but its the other trialsy kinda stuff am pathetic at, so a guess its just a case of tryin it till a can do it !
cheers !
-
Was Wondering (as i'm new to this) what i should try to learn first (spins, bunyhops, things that are usefull to know, ect ect)

cheers
