Brought the GoPro with me today at a local park near my house(plus an older clip)

Thanks!I definitely have to go back and re-film the last clips in proper light,i was super tired at the time too(i fell sooo many times at that spot!)

Thread bump:
Can someone explain what difference the seat tube angle makes?For example the most common BMX geometry is 75ha/71sa,would that work for street trials?(with certain adaptations to CS/TT length of course).Im thinking about getting a custom frame myself,and the the geometry i have in my mind is similar to the ones mentioned above: 74.5HA/??SA/365 chainstays/+25bb/and i would like to lengthen the headtube/seat tube(standover height?) by 1-2 cm in order to run less spacers as I'm tall. -
Found a new nice spot yesterday:

Thanks again,I think i'll go for the 175 ones!
-
Woah,bargain indeed!I think i will pull the triger on the truvativs when i get the money together!They look quite beefy.Thanks for the info man!Last question,should i switch to 175mm due to the harder ratio or the difference will be marginal?Thanks again for your replys!
-
Thanks for your replys!The truvativ trials seems very good,(though i cant find it anywhere online for purchase)but other truvativ models combined with a bb match the price to the XT,which seems better due to the through axel like setup rather than isis like on the truvativs.Although grabbing it second hand from a complete build would be awesome!22/15 sounds too hard too,i was thinking more like 22/16-17!
*isitafox im still switching up stems to find which one feels better(yours or the 90x35 on the pic) hahah

Here's another brakeless 4play(sorry for hugeness,couldn't find out how to resize the pictures!):
I'm running 17/13 on some 170mm echo cranks at the moment,which is feels nice but the crank arms flex waaaay too much!I'm thinking of getting an mtb crankset with an external bb,something like shimano XT,any recomendations on other cranksets?
Anyway,spec:
Inspired Fourplay '11 frame with Inspired Element Forks
Trialtech bars/stem/front wheel with maxxis holly roller tyre
Hope pro2evoT(gusset 13t sprocket) laced to an old onza zoot rear rim with DMR motoRT tyre
Echo TR crankset with trialtech 17t cog
Rohloff sprung tensioner
Federal bmx saddle and some nukeproof electron(plastic) pedals

Maybe try something longer/more rise like 110x35 as you're quite tall?How many spacers do you run now?
-
Of course it does!I was just riding around like that because i bent my mech hanger on my fourplay,during a failed sidehop,and I'm waiting a new one from tarty along with a new chain.It's fun and it improves the way you ride your bike.It gets a bit boring after a while though...

Messing around chainless,while im waiting for a new mech hanger and chain from Tartybikes.It was raining all day today and that was the only dry spot near my house!

That frame looks disturbingly nice!Awesome bike you got there!
-
Awesome bike!Not very keen on the blue ARW logo and the blue steerer tube though...
-
Thanks,i tried using a washer but it wouldn't work because the original one had 2 teeth holding the cable in place...I will try to do what you said and i'll post later!Cheers

A major factor imho is with whom you ride too.If you ride alone you are not going to progress that much in a short period of time,due to lack of motivation and courage to do bigger and harder stuff..I just cant get "in the zone" when im riding by myself...
-
Rule 352 in life, if its not going in, don't force it.
-
Dont you also have to file the base of the clamp that touches the frame,in order for the pads to be perpedicular to the rim?I havent tried it yet,but im fed up with the maggie c-ring too and i dont fancy spending 20 pounds for the TNN clamps...Rockman are the pads being "eaten" up straight?
-
The only thing i dont like is the stickers and that hideous shade of green!But thats just personal preference...Nice bike

sprung tensioners give you constant chain tension,due to the spring they have,whereas the fixed ones you have to set the tension yourself and it might gets loose over time...
-
How about 18:12? Im running this on my fourplay atm and i find it pretty good for general streety stuff,although a bit of strugle for big tgs gaps as a lighter ration might seems better.You can also try 18:13 and 18:14

Awesome video from akrigg!
cyclocross is super fun and races are physically quite demanding,
