HEY EVERYONE... I need some people to ride with. Ilive in the Manchester area and am not great at trials, I want to ride with other people to learn new techniques and places to go. Just generally need help to be honest. I am a learner, but am really into my trials want to advance but sort of stuck in a rutt at the moment lol. Please help if anyone can. Cheers Onzajorge

Onza pro 2003 (i think) its just a standard hub... sorry about that i thought i had!! oops...

cheers i think thats the only helpful answer cheers

Hey, I have bent my front axel/spindel. I am looking for a new spindel but nowhere has them. And i also need new front bearings any ideas on anywhere to get parts?? cheers

Hey, I don't live in a gang area but it is a rough estate and I'm only 15 and i have been mugged. Seriously carry a pen knife, is that guy like 8 or something?? JD got the idea just act normal don't give them any reason to "shank you up" and don't be scared jsut but confident but not cocky with them. I know i am 15 but i know just what its like to be mugged and even being pulled off my bike. It's not good at all so just ... don't give anyone a reason to think of mugging or attacking you. Or just avoid the area when possible but don't pussy foot around not going somewhere you need to because of it. Sorry if it's abit undermiming or something because I'm 15, but hope it helped. Cheers Onzajorge

You said pro has drilled rims?? I have Pro and mine doesn't, is it only the newest model?? cheers

haha,, love it, Danny Macaskill (trials legend|) nails a kid in face... Ithought you ment he walk over and dropped sum kid lol still funny

Hey I'm Jorge, Yes george but... jorge don't ask. I'm 15. I have skated for about 3years and still do on occasions, i live in stockport and THERES NO TRIALS RIDERS!!!! I got hit by a car in September 2009 and only been riding about 2 1/2 months now still recovering. I love the forum and think it's a great way to improve and meet friends and people to ride with. I ride and Onza T-Pro (concstantely fixing it though) Cheers Onzajorge LOVE IT!! JL...

Yeah i live in stockport and i heard of it but never been, and not sure about where the mill used to be??

Cheers guys, All these posts are really helpful yeah i get what you all mean about just enjoying my riding... Thanks and about the rides from this webbsite is there generally any rides not too far from stockport and if they are further away what does everyone do about travel because whe i have tried the bus and train companies go all funny about my taking my bike on. Erm... these pointers are realy helping thanks, And i agree i need to just take my time i can gap the length of my bike as i mentiond befor but its pretty sketchy, so guess i will just keep trying that distance and not worry bout it. Th second video posted really helped and showed me to take my time thanks. "Dannytrialskid" when you say extend your legs in the air do you mean a second time after leaving the ground, just sounded odd or did you mean just extend legs further from initial hop?? Cheers, Wb Onzajorge

Hey people, I have just learnt how to pedal kick and have got it down quite well now, but now i want to learn gaps. I can rest front wheel on a curb then hop to back wheel and pedal kick the length from ront wheel to back ish. I was wondering if anyone can post maybe a video or info or advise or anything really to help me learn how to gap bigger distance from pedal kicks. It's really frustraing me so any help at all would be great!! I was told to dip from front lower to get further distance but when i tried this i just found it alot harder to pedal kick at all. Is this advide right or wrong?? Please post anything which might help in the slightest Cheers, Onzajorge

cheers pal that would be great

Ahha. Don't worry about the essay, as long as it helps i dont mind. Which it does, i am getting the hang of pedal kicks but haven't got the distance yet. I watch alot of trials video's and when setting up for gap or just to manouver round (particularly Danny Macaskill) just hops on back wheel and rotates just to strighten up, or to turn and drop off say a wall... This is what i am having trouble with, just hopping on the spot. This advise did help but i am still unsure i still seem to move although not as much and then i have just tried moving my centre of gravity like you said and then i just dropped the front or flipped the back. I then went back to the previous balance and the same happened. Is this just practice to get it right or is there anythin g else which can help me find the centre of gravity?? Also i was wondering i am 15, and about 5ft 6"... I have an Onza Pro 20" and its my first trials bike and was wondering if this is about right for my size (i have been told its quite important getting the right size bike) cheers Onzajorge

Been trying that but i seem to just dip my front and hit floor again, do i just need to get my balance sorted better to solve this?? Do you mean dip front wheel closer to floor before you pedal kick?? Really helpful btw pal. Cheers but i cant personal convo yet lol Cheers wb

Hey liam, thats really helpful can do it now but on like 3hops and move bout half a metre forward. LOL With practice should get there though. That was a lot of help cheers.

cheers 4 the help,, will try should take some practice ahaa. Thanks alot, Will give it a go

Hey,, I am really struggling... i have quite good balance and have master hopping on back wheel but i always end up hopping backwards and if i just lean forward i jsu tdrop my front wheel again. How can i control my direction?? cheers Onzajorge

Cheers everyone, Very helpful... And i know your not psycic but video link doesn't work so cheers for that.. :/ Cheers

Hey guys, Wondering if anyone can tell me whether on the youtube vid (pasha vs pasha trials) whats the bike the guy in green is on?? Is this mod or stock? If stock what is it? Cheers Onzajorge xx

Cheers everyone for help,, ermm... I have now sorted it out. Brakes are getting there just need some tweaking and bearings are sorted! Cheers for all the help guys. Just need to get my technique sorted out now ... Cheers Onzajorge.

Hey, Cheers for the help. It's like rubbing constantley yeah... and then when i manage to sort it and it doesn't bind then i cant get my lever set up right the way i want it. When i fix the binding theres just way too much play in leveres and they are on the bars before working!!and ok cheers, i haVE HAD A LOOK AT CONES BUT NOT IN DETAIL SO WILL CHECK IT out again, and i have had my bike about 2-3months now... Cheers please write back. Onzajorge

Hey people, I am having some trouble with my 20" Onza Pro. The front and back brake discs are binding and can only be sorted if i change the lever set up. Bit stuck with it. And also my front wheel bearings keep loosening after about 2hours of riding. Are Onza's known to be unreliable. Just so you know everything is still standard on the bike. Just need to get a good set up,, its causing me some problems and causing my riding to be put on hold for a bit to be honest. Ant help is appreciated Cheers, Onza Jorge xx

Hey, well thanks for all the pointers... very helpful. And i can balance really well because i also do trials on my motorbike... i can go i good 5mins before getting abit out of shape. erm... its more the technique of trials i am finding hard, i can hop around for 30-40 seconds or so on my back wheel but also find myself hopping backwards. Can't get the techniqoue to control where i am going on my back-end. I have started to hop up walls and stuff but only 2-2 1/2 feet heigh or so. Struggling to get better, have sort of hit a wall. And i have an Onza Pro, but im having some problem with brakes (disk front and rear) and have some play in my front wheel bearings which keeps cropping up. Are Onza known for being a bit unreliable or is my technique taking its toll on my bike?? Please write back. OnzaJorge ...

hey, I have just started trials in the last few months and could do with some general pointers... like any balance ideas or... things to be practising and also i live around stockport and could do with a few good spots if anybody knows?? cheers OnzaJorge!!

hey i live in the stockport area and need sum spots to hit... anyone got anywhere... hopefully wont have to trek into manc if best!! cheers
