i just wish there was a regional for sale section here...ever ship a bike international??? so expensive.

yea learning is the hard part, you use muscle groups you never knew you had! just give it a break if you feel pain

good vid! i was a little worried about opening the link and seeing a naked guy on a bike at first...

you've got a good point pashley... watching the way any sport has progressed in the last few years, it's usually they younger, faster healing group that comes up with new and ridiculous stunts/tricks. as you get older you have to worry about not being hurt for work/family...gotta pay the bills! ugh.

they told us that we didn't have to work on christmas eve, and the day before they said we do now. pretty lame, but at least it's only 8 to 12 am

not 100% trials related but a good read to get an idea of a bicycles geometry http://www.pinkbike.com/news/bike-frame-geometry-2009.html for trials use, a higher bottom bracket will make the bike more comfortable on the rear wheel, and less stable for two wheel moves. and vice versa

i'm 27, only been riding trials for a bit under a year, but riding bikes since 15. my brother is 25 and rides trials, and my pops is about 52 and just got himself a echo pure

ha ha i think i'm getting shin pads too, i still have a scab healing from a good hole i put in my shin about 2 weeks ago!

i started without a helmet, but was pretty much just practicing trackstands in my backyard. one time i went out with my brother to the park and he fell and almost cracked his head...after that we both got some lids! I'm glad i did as i was just messing around a couple weeks ago and looped out and wacked my helmet on a curb. would have been pretty brutal without a helmet.

nice riding man! props on the snow riding too! i can't trust myself on snow...psych's me out

too expensive and heavy to even bother

when you copy the link for the picture use the IMG one.

my guess is that you are riding a mod with probably a high bottom bracket, and you then tried your friends stock which has a longer wheelbase, and lower bottom bracket. what bikes where they???

hey fred, i ride in Orange with my brother and dad pretty often, if you ever wanna come ride we usually go to Hart park during weeknights, and there are some comps coming up in january at fontana

i've been wearing a THE F-14 helmet, kinda like a fox flux but cheaper and not as bulky looking. i found it on sale from beyondbikes.com (california) but i'm sure it's available in your neck of the woods as well

ha it is a really good forum, i primarily use OTN since i'm from the states and it caters more to us as far as for sale/trade and finding group rides and such.

Us poor OTN refugees. ha ha. have you hit your head on the low roofline yet?

right now about 3-4 times a week for a couple hours at a time.

ever since i saw hans rey at a gt demo about 15 years ago i've been intrigued by trials riding, i used to race bmx and dirt jump, then i didn't do anything for a while, then got into downhill biking, and somehow the i really really wanted to actually ride trials and here i am! woot woot!

welcome!

thanks guys! it's on a 08 norco evolve, couldn't find the info on it anywhere!

so yea, the bottom bracket rise? how do you find that? is it a equation based on height? any help please

welcome! i'm very new to trials as well. i downhill also on a Iron Horse 7point3 i ended up finding a used Norco Evolve for $400 in really new condition on Ebay.

i can make disc brakes squeak too

where are these rocks?
