  1. Sorry i dont want to start anything, but you keep saying you "have trouble trusting" a frame or a part again which has been said at least 4 times. While there are sh*tty parts out there, and most people are aware of them, just because you broke one frame doesnt mean the next will be just as Sh*tty. Do you think Danny mac dropped inspired after he jumped a 24 set of stairs and broke a frame? (not saying that he broke one like that). I would advise you to try out a frame (parts) you might have broken before, yet really enjoyed riding.
  2. I know for many other sports there is some sort of age limit where your body sort of breaks down and its hard to continue playing that sport (for instance, tennis, most players retire by mid 30's on the pro circuit). I wanted to know if the same went for trials. Do people find it hard to ride after 30, or feel that they are getting worse, not better? Also if someone could tell me how old benito is.
  3. really liked it, hope to see a longer video.
  4. That bikes looks really really small when you ride it. Nice vid.
  5. hahahaha please make the second part longer. If you did that in America you'd probably get shot. Nice riding too.
  6. nice video, what tensioner is that?
  7. Not sure I'm diggin those orange cranks with the weird green hub and such, but I liked the video.
  8. lol i'm sure its not that funny in Spain, but having the name raper is hilarious. Nice vid.
  9. atreyu fan are we? nice video.
  10. damon should go for a world record
  11. I had the try alls for 2 months before i got rid of them. Absolutely vicious pedals if you get a shin digger, rip your leg right open. I switched to some animal platform pedal which are more forgiving and they've been working out fine for me. I would suggest platform.
  12. How long has it been since your first vid? (cuse thats about where i am now)
  13. looks good, just keep practicing and you'll keep getting better.
  14. I'm 6'1'' and my first bike was a 24'' which i got 2 1/2 months ago. It being my first trials bike, i'd have to say i picked stuff up fairly quickly and can now rear wheel hop and pedal kick a bit. Mods may be easier to ride but its really up to personal preference. You might have a hard time riding a mod and feel like a natural on a stock. I'd say give both bikes a try and see which you like more, (or you can get a 24" )
  15. Not all of that is him riding, (if any) there are clips with damon and i'm sure other riders in there as well. He just said it was a gap to front compilation.
  16. If you have one; a wirebrush fitting for a drill works great.
  17. I've been practicing rear wheel hops for the past couple of days, and besides painful blisters, my forearm, lower part of my bicep, and the area next to my shoulder blade on my back have begun to ache. I was just wondering if this means I'm doing something wrong and hurting myself or if its just something you get used to (sore because i usually dont use those muscles). I'm coming off an inflamed rotator cuff injury from tennis (which led to 3 months off riding) so i'm trying to play it safe for a while, any help or advice would be great. Cheers.

    Cramped

    6ft 1'' and my fourplay feels great, go 24'' : )
  19. We all seem to think five ten shoes with their stealth rubber are great, but has anyone approached the manufactures about perhaps creating a few stealth prototype tires? I'm sure you guys in england would appreciate the extra traction in the wet, and I could see many great applications of the stealth tire. Leave your feedback please.
  20. Pimp, you have a seat, need i say more? Call it personal preference but there are very few bikes (stocks only) that I would trade for.
  21. Trialtech sport and the tensile bashring
  22. Yeah I end up having to pull a tad harder on the handlebars, but I really want to switch to 22-16 or something a little higher. edit: I'll be looking for a new chainring soon so if anyone has any advice for a 22t ring or such that would be great
