TrialsIsHard

Hi guys, I need some help, I ride an Onza Limey 320, weighs about 9.5 KG. Back at Tarydays 2011, I could sidehop 36/38 inches. A month or so went by, and by Radfest I could only side around 30 inches. Now I can barely side hop 25?! It sounds a bit like a riddle, except there is no logical answer for it.. My bike has stayed the same spec since when I was at my peak height, so the only variable is myself. I did ride a few weeks of 24" street last month, but I don't think that damaged my riding too much. I have been going to the gym for the last few months, and have put on about 5kg. I don't think it's a power issue, as I'm not at all weak for my size. All I could think if is that I've put on shear power and lost my explosive strength that's needed for sidehops. Anyone else have any theories on why I'm getting so bad? Help would be appreciated! Oli

I suppose, besides from the headmaster being a complete w**ker, I don't have a reason to ride there. Except to amuse the members of an online trials forum, and make a good video I suppose I could be "practising my video editing skills for Media Studies", although myself I find it hard to believe!

The riding was really good, but I must say churches are not for riding.. I lost a lot of respect for him seeing him on the roof

My school is full of things I'd love to ride, such as tables, walls and shizzle.. but after their new CCTV installation, I doubt theres any chance of me not getting caught if I did!

Love the smooth street and hoppy-rocky riding combo! Ride how you want to, and make videos like this!

Magura, unless you're splashing out on an SL.. As for year, i have no idea. I loved my pre-04 lever.. stronger than my 05 for sure!

F*** me, that'd put me off rolling gaps for a bit!

restart it, hold the middle button and the top button together for about 10 seconds. Don't worry it won't wipe the ipod, it will just restart it. Have you taken the wire out without ejecting the ipod? Mine regularly get's all pissy with me if I forget Lemme know how it goes

I believe that is jack on his orange hydroxx? I really like how RedBull are pushing trials atm, it's really good for the sport

I'm no good at riding tgs or 24", but I definitely have more fun on the 24.. even if I'm not doing any 'real' riding, just jumping up curbs and doing skids

As long as there's a place to take a dump, not chemical toilets.. That's all we need

Im-Prove-Ment

Loved the creativity of the lines towards the end, really smooth

Call me stupid, but I'm pretty sure Tarty T-shirts have the exact same thermal qualities as any other T-shirt? But as I say, correct me if I'm wrong.

you're rubbish.. editing was good though! Joking, you're improving loads Ali. Keep it up

crazy smooth up to front in the first clip Not sure if I like the green (Inspired Hex?)though..

I would not mind owning that! It's a beauty

crazy stuff. I love how Damon gets used as a trump card, 'Damon pissed that, so it must be rubbish.' Not aimed at anyone in this post.. Just in general!

have you ground the rear rim? Must sound very un-smooth with the squeak!

Enjoyed that!

Am I wrong in saying he got taken on by RocknRoll? I can see why

Those cranks look really short from where I'm sitting.. might just be the pedals though

Every time I see a set of those rims it brings me one step closer to splashing out on a set!

I fail to see how you still have a rear wheel, those drop gaps were huge! loved it!

what pedals be those?
