My party trick is my arm is double jointed!
By the way there is NO! such thing as double jointed its just your tendon's are more flexible then others.

Was a hilarious vid at the time, still makes me chuckle now! The martins masterclass bits with the dummys is genius! That vid, evolve and chainspotting made me fall for trials riding and ignited a real love for trials shame its taken me 8 years to commit to riding trials lol!
Have you got around to watching Revolution yet on youtube mate.
-
At the moment Ryan Leech in Manifesto i think.
Back when i first had a play at biketrial it was the era of the two Martins... tricks and stunts was brilliant at the time, really made me want to go out and ride.I have still got them on VHS and DVD tricks and stunts 1 & 2.
How about Chainspotting.

Your best trick (your show off trick ) you know the trick that makes you, you.
Mine was a 180 to the back wheel and do a gap. I up graded it to a 180 gap back witch is, you start on the back wheel do a gap and turn 180 in the air land on the back wheel and gap back to where you started from without any planting hops. Now i,m trying to do a 360 to the back wheel and do a gap iv only pulled it off 5 or 6 times so far maybe more.
If anyone else pulls off my 180 Gap Back (180 GB) let me know please iv done it on two walls but it was not easy all most broke my leg but i did it.

Hello and Welcome
I'd start by get one of then DVDs out there like Tricks and Stunts or The Art of Trials i did when i first started and then practice, practice, practice, and see if you can find any local lads near you to ride with its the best way i think.

On most mod's the front wheel is 20" and 19" on the back ,but on a Onza T-Vee the back is 20" i was just wandering when i upgrade it ill proberly get a 19" would it run ok?
No if the frame is designed for a 20" the brakes will not fit a 19" in less it has disc brake mounts.
If you can upgrade the frame to a 19" design then it will work of course.
Hope that helps you mate.

It was a joke, you blatantly can spell and aren't some annoying teenager here to just make a mess of the forum so i upgraded you guys
Thank you mate.
I can not spell at all well I'm using spell check and have a Oxford English Dictionary and Thesaurus with me I'm doing my best I'm Dyslexic I'm not joking.
Ps.
I'm from Leicestershire to

Says who?
I was not a member when i posted but i am now cool.
Brass-Pie as we are now members let me know if you want that 22 tooth rock ring i have its a black spire Granny god ring.
-
They are utterly useless. Yet you have had any problems with them?
My front black pads are ok and my plazmatic's are ok too so nothing as yet to report they are working fine.

I'm building up a Planet X Zebdi out of some spare/donated parts. I'm gonna have to buy a new pair of cranks but I'm really struggling to find any one who stocks a crank or bash ring that can take and 22 tooth chainring. I was hoping to keep the cost of the cranks around a ton with a pair of try-all cranks a tensile bashring and a 5 bolt 22t chainring. But everyone seams to be struggling to get tensile stuff at the moment, and checking out most shops websites everything else only goes upto 18 tooth
. I've even looked at Middleburn cranks but again no-one has 175mm isis in any colour in stock. I've been out of the trials game for a while, it seams like bmx everyone is going over to micro-drive drive chains.Can anyone give me some suggestions?
I have two kicking around somewhere at mine but we are not full members yet other then that i would sell one because i don't need two.

Hello Isaac
Most people start on a 20" (mod) if you know anyone with one I'd give it a try, other wise id get a 26" (stock) as you may get on with one better as your so tall.
Hope that helps.
Earl.

A: lol
B: Magura blacks are utterly useless within trials *awaits Rowan*
Magura blacks are utterly useless a i have used them for some time and done some big gaps with them. I have never had problems yet still using them in all three bikes except my Czar I'm testing some Plazmatic's in the back for the first time.

You grind you rims for better brake performance because there is more friction between pad and rim because of the rough surface.
Pros:
Better brake
Better in the wet
Better bite
Cons:
Your damaging the rim (in a way)
Pads dont last as long.
I have never had a problem before so if what you say is right my brakes will still work anyway in wet and dry so why grind.
-
Just wondering why grind your rims?
I have been riding for some years now and never grind-ed my rims yet what are the pro's and con's.

This is trials forum, of course this wont be the end of it. Unless..... *waits for mod to close the topic*
Thats a good idea Mods close this topic.
After reading it, its just stupid posting it on here they live near each other the forks where not bought or sold on here so why post in the first place just go round his house and talk it out or fight it out because its a waste of time other wise.

Ah ill have a look at that link when i get home, cuz i dont think work would be to happy if i was caught watching trials videos! Lol!
Let us know what you think mate i think its a good one well worth buying if you can still get it anywhere.
