  1. There is no kinda understanding... It is blatantly obvious why !!! The big question is- is jt just because of the idiotic uci sections ? You look at biu sections from decades ago- very very different. Very very boring to watch !! Big pogo jumps make super smiles on spectators, and i believe thats the only thing that drive$$ the whole sport. Charlie and jack look like they are one w their bikes. So many others look like they are at the proctologist or doing their taxes on the bike/ it looks Horrible. Look at the top american champions, I'm sure they are amazing at uci sections but riding around they look like absolute beginners- super awkward position and you can tell the body isnt into it and the mind~bike connection is like 20%. I also see pogo folks crashing on basic two wheeled things you would never crash on w a normal bike... usually happens when they dont hit right and they drop to the floor in an awkward position on both wheels, just flops the body they only meant for that rear love... Different times , different world- I wouldnt be mad w a full crewkers or clean, it really is a different set of muscles you use.. From leaning back and balancing to standing up straight on your pogo stick- weird world but the moves are insanely huge so whatcha gon do... Carbon , through axles, oversize head tube.... got me droolin for sure
  2. Y'all sound like a couple of old weak men. Nothing but progress every ride personally. It's just fashion? No . Every bike and handlebar is made to be forward, not as extreme as them but... They are all crazy forward. Absolutely nothing like the old days, putting bars back keeps you in weak mud mind and body... It is the new standard, adapt or complain and stay meager ! ahahahah Guess we'll see in a few years like everything... Believe i was in the right side on that convis stuff a few years ago. Doubt I'll be wrong here ! No one does those crazy up to fronts on old bikes, or the static hooks... just aint the game. And to say technique isnt going to help you gap... tell me you can't ride without showing me your riding
  3. In america it goes beginner, sport, expert , pro. Lots who go carthy bars in the top uci circuit look like they cannot ride a bike anymore, absolutely horrendous riding. Looks so wrong, so awkward. Like a woman giving birth to a 1300 pound blue whale, it shouldnt happen. it looks horrible. Looks like they can barely ride a bike, Like they just learned how to back hop. But they go up a 3 m wall...
  4. yes some are over an hour right ?!? Love it ... I really only like watching carthy and charlie and that slovakian mod guy... Some stock guys look like they are riding sport level but appparently the moves are huge... just so so so so awkward. Charlie and jack are the only ones that look proper evolved w them funky bars
  5. so tough to put fades in and slow nature but man they crushed it, burning nostalgia in the beginning music for me !!
  6. My nightly watch... thanks whoever filmed this one !!!!
  7. ahahahhah putting bars back def makes it a normal ish bicycle but that rear wheel hilarious cheater feeling vibe goes away! I got plenty of normal bars my norm is inline w head tube! this is the extreme ridiculous, why not... new thing to learn
  8. oiii thats a 26!! id gladly take whatever charlies on anyday... rear discn!!
  9. First days attempts video review, im not dropping the front wheel at all or preloading much... even though it seems like it. Watching charlie he pre loads and drops the front a ton... I tried it quickly today and had great results , just such an extreme angle to the body that I'm not quite used to... Little bit everyday , little different in your 40s that riding as a teenager.. Gonna get it
  10. Someone that spent thousands of hours riding trials bikes that were a struggle to get on the rear wheel... Trying to get into it with my hobo crewkerz (a limp/bendy inpulse r26) w them silly ridiculous bars etc etc... But I cannot get any power into the bike. I feel like I'm looping out on gaps... The front end just drops when trying to go up stuff, but i can prance around on the rear wheel forever basically standing still zero effort being on rear wheel. I get it, I just wish I had 1/2 the power... On my gu I could gap literally 1 m farther flat pedalkick. Granted over bike length gaps on this feel like a small pedal kick... I want to access that full power !! Any tips? Body position is fully different, watching jack and charlie non stop before/after riding like the old days of revolutin/evolve vhs and my monty x - hydra..
  11. I'm months and months later, Just get used to it having zero feeling just pull it into mush and it is on, it never slips- it feels like absolute trash but i think thats all it is now... solid hand to bar like ur holding a bar, no extra effort for your finger to oull thr brake... mush. Made for women n childrens hands
  12. been tryna get out 10-15 minutes whenever its sunny, spending more time trying to fix my pogo than riding but... still fun , rust falling off every ride. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CpbKsH-jffX/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

  14. Super updates- tried it all.. Put 80ml of trialtech fluid through it, it instantly engages... I can see the fork and frame flexing a TON... So I'm gonna put a 4 bolt booster on to fix this Put that on... hmm... still mushy- Look a little closer The rims are bending in!! Fuuuuuuuuurrrrrr , bought these wheels from Kevin Liu - who I know now is a huge money scammer and no one should associate with (DO NOT LEND HIM MONEY) . Nothing to do with these wheels, hes stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars and continues his schemeing in china now... Anyways I Throw my old wheels on there- HARD AS A ROCK. Ok finally ... I also had to remove the tnn clamps and go back to magura clamps- for adjustment, this inpulse frame has poorly aligned 4 bolt mounts- the front completely off... Og magura mountains with that circle of adjustment took care of business. Looking forward to getting this pogo working , thanks for the help...
