  1. Hi,

    I,m looking to return to trials after a few years out i have not kept up with the lastest kit nor the geo of the new bikes

    so just looking for abit of advice really on what to avoid and what to move towards,

    are 20's still rid by anyone anymore or has everyone move up 26's/24's ,

    :)

    thanks

  2. I like to change a chain every 2-3 month depending on the amount of riding, I had a snapper in hull on a drop , my right knee took a smashing on the stem....your knees are worth 30 bob every few month :)

  3. Hey,

    heres my little video tried getting back into it and just can't seem to get going again so you know...... :ermm:

    A friend of mine edited it for me hope you enjoy it as much as we did getting all togeather

    P.s sorry about hd and none hd had to buy a new camera half way through....

    Thanks (Y)

  4. seems theres alot of different opions here, i,m not going to not go to the gym as i feel more strength is going to help eiether way.

    riding yes is the most important which sits at the top of my list, cardio ? ?? i understand jogging is different to trials but surely raising fitness through other ways other than riding has got to help ??

    Theres so much info though thanks (Y)

  5. ITISAFOX >> oh mate i never even thought of doing that we have filey brigg her which a good half of a mile of pure natty so ill setup some sections when it drys up cheers

    Azatheral>> ive prevouisly done the compund training as ive been going to gym for 12 months now so ill focus on the areas you mention and are you sure i should drop the cardio and focus on the lifting ?

    Ali c >> yes im going to try ride more but natty to challenge myself :)

    Thanks everyone got some sense of direction now

  6. So recently i,ve found my self hopping about on my bike thinking whats the point :-/

    Dont get me wrong i love riding and probably the best thing i,ve done for myself. But i need some sort of goal so ive decided to enter comps as from next year.

    But i need to raise my fitness levels, lose the fat and become stronger ( in a way become an athelete). I,ve quit smoking, began jogging and hit the gym 5 times a week. I jus need some advice on what i should be training in the gym to aim my riding, and how far should i be running. Should i be jogging every day as well as the gym ? Also should i start riding more natty to prepare for comps ? .

    Any advice or tips/routines would really help as i feel theres no order or even benefit to the way im training at the moment

    Thanks

    P.s sorry if its a little long winded

  7. while your on the subject of knees i snapped my chain today and proper cracked my knee on the stem it has hurt all day, i cant walk, straighten it or bend it for that fact, the stiller it is the better, is it possible i,ve fractured it.

    I broken my hands and hip before but they are nothing compared to this. any advice would be a great help

    cheers

  8. Yeah, if you can get some uprated ones. otherwise youll just keep going through them :)

    yh i,ve been looking bud and can,t seem to find any to be fair the rubber sealed ones last a alot longer than the metal sealed ones madness
