  1. I get the impression that 24"s are a shitload of fun to mess around on but mod / stock is the way forward for when you want to go big? Cheers
  2. Random woman with a bad tan stops next to my bike: WOAH THAT HAS NO SEAT? I walk over to the bike: Huh yeah I know... Random woman : That is so cool! *calls over husband on a bike also* Me : Yeah its a trick bike Husband : what? Random woman : LOOK AT IT! Me : Ooer.. Husband : Its a bike my dear? Random woman : ... what can you do on it? I jump up a bench and she says : WOAH! Me: Yeah.. Random woman : Nice to meet you F**King hilarious, you shoulda seen her facial expressions
  3. Erm wtf is a ddj shooter? Sounds like a dirt jump bike to me.. The gear ratio sounds right for dirt jump..
  4. It's a long 'un matey Thanks Phil, this did help- your saying that the 24" was more of an effort? Hrm.. How long did you have it and ride it for? Cause sometimes you have to get used to a whole new riding style before you can ride good! I guess I should try riding a 24" before actually getting one.. And if I like it then I'll build a super cheap one
  5. Yeah thanks sounds like a good idea, I've got an Zoo python frame i could swap with someones 24".. Probably won't get a very good one but it'll get me started (Y)
  6. I've been riding an mod for 2 years now, I've ridden an Onza rip, Zoo python 04, and now a czar 08... I'm becoming more interested in the 24" bikes, but am unsure if i should make the transition from mod to 24"? Has anybody else gone to 24" from mod? Would like to know how it went for them... Also what would be the differences in mods and 24"? I might be selling up my Zoo frame and the czar to buy an Onza Zoot 24" as it seems quite cheap, is this a bad idea? Would be grateful if somebody could help
  7. Heatsink yellows are so lush!
  8. Ive had 2 pairs of the brown odyssey gloves, perfect amount of thickness and they really do help! http://www.evanscycles.com/products/odyssey/power-gloves-ec016150?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=froogle&utm_campaign=froogle
  9. Just bought a czar frame in black- I love it! Need new forks and stem..

  10. Nice videos guys, love the retro bikes
  11. Seems like people arent interested...
  12. So are people up for it?
  13. Brill . Spread the word
  14. Hitting up Brighton this Thursday, riding wherever everybody decides to. Expecting lots of riders as its easter hols, if you come we should be meeting at the level at 12. I'll keep you filled if the plan changes.
  15. When I started, I had nobody- not even this forum. I kept pushing and pushing but eventually you will get there. I've got about 6 people into trials. Goodluck!
  16. Notice this: Bike Type: Folding Bike. Somehow I don't think folding bike forks will live up to trials standard x
  17. Well i guess i know f**k all...
  18. On my own- no help- no forum- no websites just watching a video- 3 months 1 hour every single night.
  19. Basically... I have a Zoo Python and I feel in better control on my friends Adamant A3, I can sidehop better on the A3, and feel more precise on obstacles. I think the Adamant A3 is a TGS bike and the Zoo is a street bike- correct me if I'm wrong. This had me thinking that I'd be better off on a TGS bike?

    Looks like your going to miss badly...
  21. When I was riding in Brighton waiting outside a shop, I offered a tramp selling the big issue an apple - even with no front teeth he gladly accepted... Okay getting to the point, he asked shitloads about my bike and even passerbys stopped to look. And when i was pushing it through brighton I heard people saying 'what a funny looking bike' :L. When I was in the bikeshop i asked if they sold seats for trials bikes and he was like lemme go check, I LOL'd! And said sorry mate I dont need a seat. To me i think from when i started doing a little bit of it 2 years ago nobody knew what the f**k i was doing, and a man pushed me off a wall ARGH what a twat i told him to f**k off... And he did. But now people are like ooooh I think It is getting better but in small isolated areas the old people are f**king bitchy.
