    BAHHAHAHAHAH! You're kidding me! This video is of a suburd to Ottawa, Canada's capital! It's just a little vid that my buddy's did for our local website MTBkanata.com I haven't seen it in the longest time! It's a small world.
  3. I'm looking to build a custom 24incher. The problem is I live in canada so getting good 400mm forks with lowered mounts are usually a custom affair. Well, my friend has connections with pashley and I can get staff pricing on PX knifen lights so I'm wondering which fork would be better. A PX knifen light with rewelded brake bosses or a pashley trials fork with lowered mounts? I'll be riding everything with this bike, from trials to park to DJs to XC, so I'd like to know which is the best combination of strength and weight. Thanks
  4. Hey buddy, nice to see another canadian on the site. You ride so much like craig robinson it's crazy. I commented on your thread on MTBkanata.com Ok, well, you should borrow alot of ideas from BMX geometry because you'll be riding alot of BMX inspired stuff, but you still need to keep some trials aspects. For the head angle, the steeper it is, the longer your top tube is, which makes the bike harder to pull up. The slacker it is, the longer your wheelbase is. Therefor, I'd say a 73 degree head angle is good. It's close to the 74 deg average BMXs have and you'll be able to maintain a 1010 wheelbase without too long a top tube. The steeper you go, though, the easier front brake tricks, spins and control will be. A shorter wheelbase will make spins really easy. 1010mm is really good. Don't get too long a fork though. It's better to have a high handlebar set up than a long fork. My bike's gonna have a 1010mm wheelbase but that's cause I want it to feel like a BMX, you're alot taller than me, so you might be able to pull off 1020, which would make trials easier. As for chainstays, I think the length on the Leeson and the Ashton are around 380mm, or 14.9", but I'm not sure. Copy their length. It's worked for everyone. Because of the smaller wheel, you do need to go shorter than what you would on a 26" wheeled bike. I'M gonna be getting mine made by Joe Mamma's in Ottawa this winter. If you have anymore questions or just wanna come down to our nation's capital to ride, PM me your MSN address. We'll talk.

    Could somebody upload it to http://www.snowpics.net ?
  8. I was offered the chance to trade in my PX Ghost for a PX Zebdi MK5. A planet X ghost is a frame that was only released in Canada, it has the same angles as the Zebdi except that it's chainstays are about 15.75 instead of the Zebber's 15.5. I use my ghost currently for urban trials and I chose it originally because I figured the longer chainstays would help my manual. Well it turns out I never manual or but I still do 180s and tons of other BMX tricks and I know shorter stays would help spinning and such. Would I regret trading frames?
  9. I suggest going through Phatmoosecycles.com They're based here in canada but our dollar is really low and they ship out cheap so they might be able to hook you up. I can vouch that they're an awsome shop.
  10. What about the song from the Ashton/Hawyes vid?
  11. You have the bike, we canadians have the terrain! BAHAHA! Long live long winters/high mountains. Actually, that's a lie, winters suck. I'd rather live in the UK
  12. Yeah, an incline going down.... :ermm: Anybody have the song?
