Yup and thats not even the top quality setting!

Thats cause last time I rode was back in 99! Had the bike in my dads garage for last 10 years an decided before christmas to get it built back up but using proper trials components not the make it up as you go along stuff we had to make do with years ago!!

Cheers matey, only just got back into riding after a LONG time off so still a bit sketchy but its coming along. Think I was correcting a lot cause I was rushing it all, especially having to press record, ride up the wall, get back down and get back to stop it whilst keeping it quite short. Will hopefully get out later with a mate who can record for me and vice versa so will have a bit more time practising beforehand and be more relaxed!

Well here is my first vid made using my new Kodak ZX1 pocket camcorder. For £50 she was a bargain for the quality you get from such a small piece of kit. Bear in mind I made this more to test the camera and have my first go at editing something together, used Videopad editing software (cause its free and windows movie maker is crap) to put it together. The ridings bit ropey as I was in a bit of a rush to get it done and the angles are poor as I was on my own so had to balance the camera on walls etc. but should hopefully be getting a mini tripod, strap to fit it to helmet/handlebars and get my mate out so we can film each other soon enough.

Right I've finally got round to making a vid wih this thing! Will put a link up on the videos forum, the quality is brilliant (the camera, not the riding) for something so small. Hopefully get my mate out to ride with me so we can get some half decent riding filmed but the vid does its job of showing the video quality for anyone thinking of buying one!

You'll find you'll spend nearly that much sorting the front wheel out, gettin some half decent brakes and setting your trek up to single speed. You really wanna get rid of the forks for some rigids to start with, ditch the biggest chainring, cut the teeth off the middle and fit it where the big one is currently to serve as a makeshift bashring and get the front wheel trued by a bike shop an get the brake back on an setup nicely.

Deffo the Zona purely for this!!

I'd go for a Specialized, pref a rockhopper if you can get one in your price range. Worth having a look on ebay for one, wish I'd kept mine now, was a quality bike!

I'll be coming but only to watch I'm afraid for 2 reasons. 1. Not sure what class i'd be best in as its been a while 2. Gotta take my son to swimming lesson at 11.30!! Looking forward to it though

Might be worth going to a MX shop and trying some proper motorcross/enduro gloves to see if they're any better for you!

YES!!! Just been given the OK and told I can take as many as I like!! Can't complain at that, just gotta figure out how to collect em now!

Not used them myself but there is a lot of praise given to the BB7 an BB5's. If it was me buying that bike I'd just ask to change the rear disk for a HS33 and probably stick at that for now to start on!

Sky Sports and the BBC have a program when showing football that shows the direction of all the shots in the game, passes made, speed and trajectory of freekicks and stuff like that. Could be worth trying to get hold of a national sports program to see if any of the people who make the show can help you, don't know if you'll get anywhere with it but worth a try!

Wahey, I may have just blagged myself a load of railway sleepers for not very much! Luckily I work on the railway so I've got a headstart and theres a pile of old ones near my signalbox that I'm trying to claim to chuck a trials section together. Anyone got some or used em before an what did you make?? There's about 12 down here that I can see so gonna try an get as many as possible! Edit - Just had a walk down the track and I've counted 19 so far, the guy who I spoke to about them said he'd rather they were away from the track so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Grind a bit off the back of the crank arm??

Can't be arsed with the washing up involved with beans on toast so I'm just dipping my bread straight in the pan! This is the life!!

Hmmm, lightweight?!

Good Vibrations by Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch!! Absolute oldskool classic and quality film star!!

May be sorted now as theres a trialtech sport forged stem in for sale section that I'm hopefully gonna get an Muels got a set off Zoo bars for sale so if they're 31.8mm ones (this oversized thing is new to me!) I could have fixed the problem at a bargain price!

If I were you I'd either strip the freewheel down myself and give it a good clean out/degrease or if your not confident enough yourself or dont have the tools take it to your local bike shop.

Somewhere in Japan, pref outskirts of Tokyo for the culture, countryside, city and the cars! Or somewhere in America, my little sister says California is awesome so that'd do!

Depends what I'm drinking it in, blue for coffee, green for tea, red for protein shakes and general consumption and straight from the cow with no pasturising bullshit when I'm at the inlaws farm which is quite a lot!

I've always used magura koolstops, not sure if they still make them but always been spot on for me!

I agree, love that helicopter silhouette in the sky! You'll have to get some pics of the trials riding in your area posted up on here, always interesting to see the standards in different countries!
