    Heck yes... you are one person I would like to see more video of, awesome - manifesto is the only way ! Eagerly awaiting bike check... there was just a thread on here asking about various DJ frames and how they would perform. Are you still working for a Canadian cirque type company?
  3. another 82 baby!!! my first bike was an x hydra too... as long as i can lug my leg over the bicycle and roll around I’m happy... the years of going out and “training” or trying to gap massive things are gone... the memories aren’t and never will be !
  4. Congratulations! Hope you find good fortune with that alias, I’ve been tempted myself but 13 bicycles is enough only ride one or two of them.
  5. Yes yes yes !!! More of this greatness, thank you for making it..
  6. I came in this thread to say you should get an alias. I’ve ridden a skye, not my jam- but at six feet tall aint for me..and I’m an old school rider- up and over smoothly is all im interested in, maybe a spin off but f off w those footjam spaz shit. I competed with 221 x-lites and my last mod was a koxx level boss. I’ve ridden an alias w some weird brakes, but it felt nice... set it up w a whatever kind of stem/bar to fit your riding- it is versatile bike, will never be as good at todays competition bikes (which you would immediately throw in the garbage after riding), but I believe you’ll be much happier with it as opposed to fourplay/skye etc. that being said, every now and then you’ll see a 221 on ebay... it definitey had a feel, nothing sidehops from both wheels/surges/wedges as nice imo... had some awesome rides on that lil blue beast ! edit/ and for wheelbase.. for some reason the numbers 990 and 1005 come to me ? my levelboss was a weirdo.. dont get one of those
  7. I’m a pretty huge fan of rawing all my frames with steel wool... bit o work
  8. And riding after a few pints, yeeeehawwwwwww cowboy get ready to be hurt
  9. Major neuron game... Like trying reversed brakes or riding bad foot forward for a while, good on you for trying it !
  10. Found something that looks more awkward than anything! those wheelies , must be soooo hard and weird !
  11. Perf ending , smooth and relaxed riding...

    Insane riding, new bicycle? something looks very different !
  13. 28009888 and counting USA numbers... my closest competition is a 23 hour drive. same if I want to ride with more than one person. Street riding I have on a 10 min train ride, real rocks are a 45 min car ride. Back in the day it was normal to drive 3 hours to go ride w someone.
  14. Quite enjoyed that ! Classic tgs w classic music

    Where is James Porter these days!? ripperrrr!!
  16. Oh mannnnn has it been 10 years since trials became bad !?!!!? SyyyyyyyYyyYyYYyK #monsterenergy #fallow4fallow happy it brought you in! ride soon perhaps maybe by the end of the year
  17. That issue with fit is just the world of trials, where 9/10 times you’ll have to bust the grinder/dremmel out to get a new part to fit on your bicycle... thats what makes trials fun ! custom fabrication
  18. 690?! HOly fuuuuuuuurrrrrrr... Aside for more noise for the spectator I can't feel the need for anything over 72 ep...but people need to sell NEW FANCY hubs ! Keep that money train rollin. 12- 24 was huge, 24- 48 was biiiig, then 72 was king (no pun intented...or...) now we have 108, 144, 690, 303209999 ep. more the merrier, i9 hubs look great. Still none as instant as the silent clutch I ran on my koxx cheat code #deathtrap #goodbyeteeth
  19. Tar is your friend if you don't want to deal with grinding...heaven help you if it's wet out

    i remember those trash?? bins from trialskings days... like hooking them was huge... him bunnyhopping those to rear on full sus= aahahahhahahhahahhahahahha wtf
  21. Spend time strengthening your ankle in the gym, getting shoes to solve a problem is like putting a bandaid on in a thunderstorm- shit don’t work... will feel ok initially but it doesnt matter, ankle still weak- no amount of shoe will save you, injuries waiting for you down the line.
  22. lucky!! love seeing some older mountain bikes riding over stuff!!
  23. 20+ years of riding has gotten me a few riding rules... Every single move- sidehop, gap , whatever has to be linked in 3 moves, no matter how small they may be. Never one thing over and over. Unless your name is craig lee scott or neil tunnicliff (where are they now?!) If you are doing a balance line- and you take your foot off to balance, you didn't make the line. The second you take your foot off to dog pee, just get off the wall cuz your balance line didn't count. Jeff Lenosky taught me this in the late 90s, has stuck since. Kind of like a bitch crank, but to the 8th power. Dog pee = Instant cringe move. Finally always have fun and smile while you are riding your bicycle. You aren't in a prison, you aren't a soviet olympian in the 80s. Settle down, relax and have fun- you are riding a bicycle!! frowny concerned faces only get you anal cancer, chill out people.
  24. Found this 13? year old uk gem...from the simpler times before vlogs, fat tired +20% bmx bikes and hashtags. Just riding and messin about... Keep your followers up... might see a lil john s in there , where are they now?? wayne mohamet?? Watch out for awkward zoo and koxx living...beware the flouro rims they are only in for one scene. I promise NO footjam anythings :
