Hello mate, yer i remember you . Thanks for the compliment on the bike . Also i have submited a validation vote for you . Thanks man ! Yer man I will get some pictures today . And also I am hoping my friend with his camera will come out today so I can get a few video clips . And thanks man . I used to have goes just riding round on thier bikes and stuff, but I didn't ride thier bikes properly :L.

Thanks man

Yer I plan on taking a camera out soon, when i have a helmet . And yer I pretty much ride every day when the weather is good as it is the summer holidays, also the ice rides lush, I think that is why I am learning stuff quite quickly. And in my small time riding I have learnt pretty much all the basics , I can side hop just over the height of my bottom headset cup , and can hop up stuff on my back wheel just lower than the height of my wheel ( I can also blunt about the same height). And also I did make sure that i read the rules before I first started posting stuff on the forum. once again thanks man I wasn't meerly 'showing off' I was showing people how I was progressing, and also asking if i got a decent deal on the bike .

Thank you , It rides really nicely aswell:D

Thanks man What you said is much appreciated And also i'm glad you think I got a good deal .

Yes but there are riding pictures here too .

That is meant to mean ?

I'm a new member, I can only post stuff here !

I'm into my second week of riding trials now and i have finally got round to taking some pictures of my bike, also i thought i'd show you some pictures i got of me riding on my first few days. Just thought i'd show everyone some pictures of my bike to ask whether or not i got a good deal for £450 ? And to just show you all how i am progressing . Also before everyone moans, i would be wearing a helmet but i don't own one yet, however i am buying one next week when i sell some more of my old bmx parts and have the money to. My new bike I back wheeled this rail on my fith day riding I did have more photos but they won't upload to photobucket :/ I will try another time to upload those .

I run a Shadow conspiracy interlock v2 chain in black. It is a half link chain but I have had no problems with it at all, apparantley they are one of the strongest chains out .

I find that when I drink energy drinks whilst riding they don't have that much effect, however even if I have one early in the morning when I first start riding for the day, it keeps me up for most of that night. I think the energy drink that is best to drink riding wise is monster ( any of the flavors) as monster gives me a small amount of energy whilst riding. However I have recently started to use the red bull energy shots and I usually have two when i have my lunch ( only on days that I ride) I think that these shots give me allot of energy and at the moment they are only 50P in my local 99P store . I hope i helped

I would definitely wait to get validated and go with the second hand option, alternatively you could always look on ebay, I looked on there about a week and a half ago when i was looking to buy my first trials and I saw some pretty good specced bikes on there for decent prices . Another way of getting a bike is to just ask around locally if anyone is selling a second hand bike, I did this last week and it turned out that a boy I knew who lived about half an hour away from me was selling a good specced onza ice for £450 , I agreed to buy it off him and i'm so happy I did. I prefer trials so much to bmx which is what I previousley did, also I got a good deal and some money left over, which is always good !

Oh ok, thank you for the help, it is much appreciated.

Hello, i'm new to trials and recently bought a second hand bike. The brakes sort of needed bleeding so I got my friend to water bleed them. I was just wonderingwhether or not water bleeds are a good idea ? Also I was wondering if they can harm my brake in anyway ? And another thing, when it comes to winter I am concerned about my brake freezing, would it be a good idea to mix some anti-freeze with the water that they get bled with ? Thanks for viewing .

My bike with a front freewheel does this to :/ It annoys me so much ! But apparantly it is completley normal and there isn't alot i can do about it . :/

Oh ok , i'm really sorry and i didn't realise this :/
