ah i see your a fair weather kinda guy

never heard the tropicana line before some wicked riding

thanks guys some real sound advice and unlike most things you guys really are consderate to the fact its easy to try big stuff and hurt yourself isitafox.....your right my weight does seem up on the front of the bike, i am not really sure if the bike is really set up for a tall rider and i am riding it as i bought it. hoping to meet up with a few guys on friday hopfully they will be able to see what needs to be changed i am thinking higher bars. another question.....why would the chain slip? had it happen yesterday and my god a pedal to the shins hurts. also what size rear sprocket would i want to be learning with on my onza hitman? cheers james

hey ben thats really funny i was just looking at your videos i have your number so i will send you a text soon so if you are out and about you can let me know. have you got new bars now then??? i heard you snapped one james hey james i cant do saturday which is a shame but if your about friday that would be cool

ok perhaps not friday morning but midday ish?

who's up for bristol friday morning? i am a newbie who can just about ride with out stablisers so dont expect much from me but i would like to watch and learn cheers james

Nice man, i like it, its quite cool looking at someone doing stuff i can relate too keep up the good work

hey hey, i have just started trials and so far i can trackstand on the flat and put my front wheel wherever i please be it on top of a low wall or on the side of a high wall, What should i be learning/attempting next? i can just about hop on the back wheel off a wall but then i lose balance and the front drops like a lead ballon. any advice welcomed cheers james

hey mate just go back to bristol this evening i am probably in st andrews park learning the basics tonorrow around 4 ish if you are about cheers james ferryman

If i was to take my bike out in the middle of bristol i would be in the clink in no time saying that my old bultaco would not be the best bike for the job so perhaps i should drop the idea of having ago at "urban moto"

carbon fiber @ £25 is a bargin wonder if they could make me up a bash plate for an old bultaco.

friday........i wish i could however work calls friday morning see you tonight

hi mate as a mountian biker you maybe better of on a stock bike 26" , thats the general info i recived when buying my bike

cheers man do bristol buses let you take bikes on board?

any one in the area tomorrow?????? i am a newbie and i am trying to learn the basics so if your about come and have a play and let me learn at the same time cheers ferryman

good man, i have a less competive bultaco 325 t and race an ajs stormer......mordern stuff is way out of my price range

have a vote for being a battle scared trooper man we have all done some nasty stuff yet we all keep on going

hey its interesting your all mono riders I have been riding trials all my life on the twinshocks and i am also clerk of the course for cheltenham hawks. WWW.hawksmc.org.uk just started bike trials and find it hard with no engine but i am getting there if any one wants to try motorbikes we are holding a trial this weekend any ability welcome and if anyone wants to take a wobbly learner around bristol let me know james

jesus!!!! i do motorbike trials and have done some bad stuff but that is nasty. Trip the the hospital????

wicked videos, i am trying to learn trials around bristol, seem to have got the track stand sorted, i can get my front wheel on top of bins, benches and walls and hold my balance but thats all i can do. (only been out 4 or 5 times after work, but it gets bloody cold and dark past 5) What should i concentrate on to progress? cheers james

hey mate i am currently doing the same as you, although i am very green hence wanting to ride with people around bristol, hopfully learning from others in the mean time yes chris akrigg is worth watching even just to appreciate his style just got you validated,

i am guessing your all at work....

Hey girls and boys I have got my 1st trials bike today and have come to realise that i can do more stuff on my mountian bike then my onza.....! If any one is riding in bristol friday would it be ok to come down and watch and possibly see what i am doing wrong. let me know and if any one ha any tips for a complete newbie let me know cheers Ferryman

i ride motorcross and motorbike trials and a bit of downhill. i am lucly enough to work with a Personal trainer whos boyfriend is a very good MX rider (does national champ stuff i think). she Adviced me to warm up before a comp to get the blood flowing (short jog), do plenty of toning exercises on the fore arms and make sure my posture is good as i may be putting more weight then needed through my wrists. she really helped me with the motorcross arm pump and the down hill and i never get it in motorbike trials i will see if i can find her number if you want some propper help.
