I had a simlar thing I'm 6ft and I ride a mod. It felt really weird for the first week but after riding every day Iv gotten used to it. I can swich from my XC bike to trials with out any problem now. If after a little while it still feels wrong then may be consider changing a few parts. But personaly I'd give it some time first.

Try and get final cut pro its the shizz. its made by abobe. its kinda like the photoshop of video editing.

My dad works on a farm so I've always had the luxury of havin as much old crap as i like. Rear tractor tyres are good fun.

some bikes you may want to look at. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=47 http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=47 http://www.2x2worldwide.com/07RangePhase/PHASE-1-3.html suppose it deppends how much you wana spend really. personaly id go mod (and i did) for a first trials bike. but im more used to 20" because i used to bmx

any skate shoes do the job. osiris at the moment but have had DC, vans, etnies, converse theyve all been simlar. etnies lasted the longest though and converse get destroyed very quickly.

cheers for all the opinions fellas, i always thought cages would be lighter but looking at it the onza Hognesium are actualy lighter so i may get them. im a bit weight obsessed with my bikes :]... but im also a bit skint ha. anyway cheers again

ive been looking at pedals and was thinking of getting one of these http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...category_id=149 http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=23 i dont really wana spend more than 45 quid an i dont know wether to go caged or platform. Iv always had DMRv8 on mountain bikes and bmx's but iv been riding with that standard caged pedals onza put on there bikes and thyve been pretty good. was wondering what peoples opinions are?

i would say learn to do a good solid track stand back hopps are helpfull and pedal kicks are a must. heres some links to videos that helped me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QChuqk57gWQ...feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cuo7BslZXz8...7114294EFAD1845

k cheers for that. tis because im a new member then. didnt know you had a whole rules system haha

...post replys on certain topics? tis rather anoying. on a rather less anoiying note ived ridden everyday for the last 6 days from 10 in the mron till 6 in the afternoon and ive seen vast improvemnt in my riding :] how ever me wrists have taken a battering.

just practise practise practise. spend a good amount of time learning to track stand, back hop and pedal kick on the flat before attempting any objects. then move onto small objects and work your way up, thats what im doing anyway. i got my bike 6 days ago and progression has been faster than i expected.

i prefer natural the whole reason i stoped bmx and started trials was because id had enough of street spots. street now and again but natural for the win :]

cheers for that :] dunno why i didnt think to look on ol wikipedia. makes sense now cheers

reet as i said before im new to trials and just had a quick question why is the free wheel at the front on the bottom bracket rather than at the back like a regular bike? is it to do with putting less tension on the chain? anyway cheers :]

im in northampton but me cars gone to the garrage today so tahts a bit of a b*****d. but more to the point i havent got a bike lol other than me bmx at the moment. but have a gooden tomorow. give me a shout next time. also cheers for the help :]

i think what you actualy want is one of these lol

does anyone know whow much the onza blade weighs? and if it is good or bad in comparrisson to other trials bikes? cheers.

cheers for the advise amigo, although if i have the money il probs go for the Blade. ye ive just got fed up with bmx been riding bmx for 6 years and most my mates are a few years older an theyve all stoped riding or got to much responsability kids, families, bussines to run etc... an ive got fed up with having to ride bmx with people who havent left school lol.

looks nice where you get yours from?

i was actually looking at an onza blade, but ity just finding a place that actualy sells them in my area an has them in stock as i dont wana order summert id like to actualy have a go etc. i live in northampton any one know the best place to buy trials bikes round here?

ok so im new to this trials game ive ridden BMX for a fair while now and ive got a bit bored with it espicaly in the last year. last year i thought about getting a trials bike and starting trials instead of BMX but i ended up just forgetting about thewhole thing. well this year iv decided thats deffinately what i wana do. ive been looking into different makes sizes etc. but id apriceate a bit of advice from the people in the know. i dunno wether to go 20" 24" or 26"? so whatd be a good entry level bike for 300 - 500 quid? also where is a good shop to go a have a look an lil ride on some trials bikes? any help wuld be greatly appreciated. cheers :]
