    I'm sure the riding was good but for me headcam footage gets boring very quickly.

    Drops

    alright fair doos mate, as long as you land back wheel first you'l be fine
  5. loved it. I know nothing about motorbike trials but enjoyed it.
  6. yeah I was talking about stock to be fair I haven't watched allot of mod stuff, either brake is good if you set it up properly, but haven't seen any stock comp riders with discs, I'v had allot of trouble getting enough power out of my front disc, until I got a tech trial that is.
  7. He's at least 9 times World Champion, I think this is just child's play messing around for him.

    Drops

    personally I'd say don't bother trying a big ass drop unless your confident at dropping properly, in a very controlled way with a pedal kick, ideally you should be able to make small hops forward with your brake still locked to position yourself perfectly on the edge of the drop. when your a beginner you don't have much to gain from huge drops apart from damaged wrists. I'd tried a big drop before I had the right skills in place and got off lucky with the worst shin dig ever wasn't nice.
  9. yes defiantly change to rigid forks as suspension will only take away power, and I would think some moves would be almost impossible with them such as up to fronts and hooks though that's all pretty advanced, for now your definitely on the right track the rocking hopping and track standing, check out the Ryan leech tutorials and trashzen.com for tutorials. I started off on a dirt jump bike after you's learnt to rock, and back hop, try to rock walk it's pretty safe to learn great fun and stand you in good stead for other stuff.
  10. look at any uci world final ther's not a disc in sight they all run maggiys, cos they'r better only reason I run front disc is cos that's what my bike had when I bought it and it gives you a bit of modulation so I left it on as I don't use the front brake an awful lot.
  11. kl vid though you defo should'v knocked the bottle over with a bunny hop at the end, just my opinion anyways
  12. he's little a little dany mac lol , seriously though I can't do half that stuff, talented kid.
  13. I'm no expert but definitely looks like he went over the corner of the tape, although he cleared it nicely.
  14. cheers guys I'l check it over but it seems to be okay, any advice on shortening braided hose? cheap places to get dot fluid? I'm guessing there's already some threads on it.
  15. finally problem solved it was the crown race I took it off cleaned it and the forks applied some grease put it back on noise stopped .
  16. it doesn't have any more give in it then my freshly bled magura, you can pull the lever in a little bit more after it's locked. locks the wheel up pretty solidly, seems ok but then I'm not an expert.
  17. brilliant natural trials doesn't normally do it for me but that was top notch riding so good I wish I had half your skill and balance.
  18. smooth riding huge stuff, that line at the end was sick loved it, soundtrack was so chilled out, it made it seem like he wasn't even trying just a normal relaxing Sunday ride lol
  19. no not really as my granddad hogs the box every day from about 1pm till 11pm and I just feel bad taking the remote and changing the channel as it's his house, so in the evenings I just surf the net or watch films or series which I'v downloaded.
  20. Hi I just bought a second hand tech trial brake and when I un-wrapped it I noticed that a small amount of the brake fluid had leaked out presumably in transit, I find this worrying surly this is not normal? I tried the brake out and it seems to work well, but I'm in two minds weather to send it back or not as the fluid must have leaked out from somewhere. has anyone else had a brake leak in the post before? or have I just been sold a dodgy brake?
  21. haha and I was happy it went so cheap, although I'm gunna have to cut the hose down and re bleed it :/ for use on front, not looking forward to that.
  22. smooth, big moves, this guys really on it
  23. yeah I know what you mean about the rainbow movement. was just wondering to myself as I'v seen videos where people do a wheel swap onto rails, surely you just couldn't do that without a really good brake. Just won a Hope tech trial brake off ebay should hopefully do the trick, then I won't have the excuse to blame my brake .
  24. Hi was just wondering if you really need a powerful brake for up to fronts, or is it just mostly technique as in, get down low and then throw your weight forward more getting knees past your stem? any tips would be most appreciated.
