  1. How i learned to do it, even before I had a trials bike, was to ride along and do a stoppie (or endo as most call it) and as the back wheel touches the ground again, rock back and pull on the handle bars and you should be doing it!
  2. Freezer works Gumboots, Stubbies and a black singlet with paint stains on it! Well... its original...
  3. Yeah, will get a chance to ride a guys Kamel that has a higher stem than mine in a week. Should be really helpfull to what Im wanting to find out.
  4. Its done on a 10mp camera. I think its the angle. My dad took the photo, hes short.
  5. Like when the bike is falling to the side, if you leave your foot on and end up standing on the front wheel. It bends.....
  6. I know its very odd. And whats up with the black box?
  7. Hey I was trying them at one stage. Just remember, if you fall to the side when doing it jump off the front wheel or you will buckel it! Trust me, it happens! Haha, does this remind anyone else of the guy in NMC who said he can do tailwhips like Danny Mac does but wouldnt upload a vid, and got banned for swearing at everyone? Haha.
  8. 900! That would feel pretty average! My face is to pretty for the naked eye, you have to wear 100% UV pretected sun glasses to look. Na actualy I looked like a clown in the photo. Having to upgrade parts is annoying for me because Im not the richest bloke out there. But I will try some stuff, thanks. How do you measure the stem? I rode a montey Kamel and it had a much larger stem and rise bars, so I will definatly be looking into that!
  9. Thanks man. Am going to a comp on the 28th so will be able to ride peoples bikes then. If I win a free frame in the Black Matters Bike Competition it will be choice anyway! haha. I will just have to browse other peoples bikes before I can decide on anything.
  10. Ive seen this before. Good video.
  11. Its 104cm axle to axle. Roughly 41in I think. I'm 178cm tall (70inch). I rode a stock that had quite a high bb (an Onzy or something) it felt way more comfortable than mine haha. Its just so expensive to buy bikes though . I'm having major cravings for a 24" too, could be better to just sell my czar and get a 24 haha. It feels small when I ride, don't so much get back pains, but I get sore wrists after a while, feels like I put lots of weight on my hands.
  12. I took a few little vids of me and I think that my czar dd 20" is to small and I dont look right riding it. I got dad to take a photo of me standing up on it, and I think its way to small. What do you rekon?
  13. The problem is that I dont think anyone in NZ sells trialtech parts. It would be awsome if I could get proper trials parts easy, but I can only buy trials things such as frames, wheels, tires, forks, brakes and handel bars. No other trials bits. Is this SRAM PC-7X going to be good? The guy said that track and sprint riders use them so I would imagine that its strong. P.S Are half link chains any good?
  14. I want to know what chains people use on there bikes. I just snapped my half link $40 dollar one today (My second chain) and have gotten a $45 dollar SRAM PC-7X one. The guy in the shop said that it will be able to hold up to trials standards. What chains are you guys using/what are your fav's? Im sick of smashing my leg on the handel bars when they break.
  15. Your lucky. Ive gone through 2 back ones and a front one. The seals break in under a week for me. Same with Hayes Stroker Rydes, I dont recomend either. Cable brakes are choice though.
  16. I beg to differ, I have duel BB5 on my CZAR, I find that they hold realy well. Top notch in my books.
  17. What is he riding? Looks like a Inspired but I'm not to sure.
  18. Oh well, she was still fine and had mean cleavage.
  19. Here in NZ we just saw one with a rally race thing. Jeremy had a co driver that couldnt speak english, Richard had the midget and James had a FIIIIINE super model. She was FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE.
  20. My birthday was on the Friday 13th of February this year. My brother was born on Friday 13th of September. Is that bad luck?
