Maladie

The sloped walls ..? Well at least you're being detailed about the location.

I think that's the biggest load of shit i've seen posted on this forum. V-brakes are perfectly fine, they only need to be set-up correctly (obviously not by a retard like you), and you need decent pads. And what are you saying about buying new? Give me 1 reason why it's the worst thing you can do? A new bike will be a whole lot more reliable than some shitty second hand T-Poo. And last thing, you say: 'hes just trying to make you get a crappy bike, i was looking for a 26" bike'. Are you trying to put across that mod's are crap and stocks are the only good bikes? If you are then jesus, you are sooo mistaken. James.

Yes, I agree with Rich. The best way to do it really is it to find the balancing point on your back wheel, and only hop when neccessary. For instance, if standing on your rear wheel and you feel pretty comfortable without hopping, then don't hop. The hopping part is just for adjusting your position, say if you're lining up for a sidehop. You want your bike to be just in the right place so you can get up the wall smoothly, not from half a metre away. I hope you understand what i'm saying

It depends. You have to give us more information, like certain area's you want the forks to be good in. Eg: Weight, Strength, Look, Maneuverability I use Echo Lite forks, they are definately light and certainly very strong. They're used by many mod riders and people remain very confident with them. If you're talking about forks for a stock ....then I have no idea

He is riding an A3 ..?

Ofcourse I can see the downtube, It's just if you're riding past someone on the road they're not going to quickly throw thereselves down of the ground to look underneath it so see it's scratched or not and be amazed if it's not because of some peice of black foam protecting it?

Looks stupid. Might stop you getting scratches on a part of the frame you don't even see. Well done

I have an Onza Bird myself and trying not to be biased, but i can HIGHLY recommend them. They're just such good beginner bikes, the front disc does have a VERY good bite to it, the components aren't the lightest, but are very strong, and the only things I have broken are the rear brake arms, and the outer cage on my pedals (but that happens with all caged pedals). It is a very decent buy for the money, and you really won't regret it

Hey there mate, You're doing exactly what I did, the big move from BMX to trials, a move you'll never regret As you've been riding BMX's you'll be use to the wheel size so you should definately get a mod. I can highly recommend the Onza Bird as that is what I ride and it retails at around £360. It's GREAT for the money. A real nice starter bike with strong and not too heavy components and also comes with good brakes as standard. Have a look around on Tarty though, see if you can spot something that takes your fancy. And don't hesitate going second hand, can find some REALLY good bargains either on here or on Ebay. James.

ALOT of time and effort has obviously been put into that place, could probably even be used to host a world comp! And you did it justice, really nice riding. I even hate kings of leon but I still liked the video, well done

Seriously, could there of been any more sidehops in that video? Was very neat riding though mate, good little vid.

Well you better hope things go well then because you NEED to be validated to even make a post in the for-sale section.

Give it a pearlescent paintjob.

Good , and oh right, what's that for? To pick up bike parts or something completely un-related to trials?

We still on for Sunday Skuuuuu?

Yeah, SL's are pretty prone to snapping, especially for beginners like yourself making silly mistakes gapping etc. But nothing wrong with Lite's, they're not to expensive, they're pretty light and they're strong too! Used by lots of people (including myself) and I recommend them

For £400 you could probably get a frame which weighs a third as much as a Typhoon does. 2.1kg f t w?

Wow, go put your digging shovel back in the shed and make sure you never bring it out again. Oh, and that was a terrible post aswell.

to be honest, there are no REAL guidelines around for PSI. Whatever feels comfortable and right to you, is what's right

I think there should be an option to: Un-Validate

I think what you said is true for BMX'ing and trials, but when it comes to mountainbiking, you're wrong. Easily 40% of downhill/4 cross MTB's will be female, no doubt about that. Also there was a female BMX dirt class in last years olympics.

No refunds Unless the disc is at all f**ked? EDIT: Or doesn't install on my pc.

Seeing as no one else has really posted any useful to help this guy then I will make an effort. Take a look here mate: http://www.trashzen.com/pedal-kick-basics.php It's all about pedal control, braking power, and balance. IMO, it's best to learn to trackstand well first and maybe even wheelie. I'm sure on other bikes you have owned you have tried to wheelie and it always made you happy when you got a good one. Well those good ones aren't just luck, you get good at stuff by practising it! Just bend your knees in a way which feels natural to you when you're up on the back wheel, and make sure you don't rush anything. Always keep everything flowing and at a sensible speed. Don't try to copy any other riders styles. Now go out there and ride!

Seriously, this game is sounding better and better everytime someone posts something about it! Remember to bring it for me at the weekend Sku , And i'll bring £3 for your tuna mayo or whatever you want

I'm most probably riding Pompey with Chris also so yeah i'll be down there mate. ..What type of sandwich would you like?
