Hi guys, right i have been using rockman carbons for awile which are 28.5inch/720mm wide. Now using the new try-all elite bars which have the same geo but are 29.75/755mm which are massive, i cut them down to 720mm. now am not the biggest of guys, would it help to have them slightly smaller? I know the wider the more stability there is but could they be making things harder for me when it comes to some moves. any info would be much appreciated. cheers

theres quite afew places but kinlochleven where i live is pretty mega for natty plus has lots of other bits around the village like pipeline etc. have a look at my video, its called The MOUND.

yeah am trying but afew days won't fix it but give me amonth and hopefully i should have it under control more!! I find am extremely fit because i do move way to much. Its funny as am really composed on the motor trials bike but i guess 18/19years of riding comps has help me along the way. I will work on it from now and really try think about each move. much appreciated though, all is taking on board!! Its all a learning curve thanks

james your to good man!! it was the bird lmao. Ali thanks very much, its the first thing i'll do tomorrow. Am after as many tips as possible as i have no one here to learn from!! I only just put those bars on last week and i thought i'd try them forward, i did find my sidehops are more difficuilt aswell as before i had them roled back and there was noprob.

AWESOME!! so bloody good.

Hi pal, yeah motortrials is still my main sport for sure!! The scottish champs are all over the place really to be honest.

Hi guys, right i know i've banged afew vid's up but this is my last one for prob 3months or so, was a great weekend weather wise so i took the opportunity to take some clips of (The mound). Its a great place for natural trials when the weather good! enjoy peeps garymac

super powerful but yet looks so smooth and effortless, i must learn to ride more controled like this as it looks way nicer and better!!

cheers!! yeah i do move alot to keep myself focused and balanced, i'm going to work on it and try steady myself up abit as it makes things look abit rough. i only just learned the gap to front 2wks ago so i still have alot of perfecting to do. Hi nick how are you, thanks man! i've been pushing myself solid for the last 2wks to try get more confidence on the gap to fronts as they scare the sh&t out of me at the moment. I was out yesterday at my local natty bashing ground and its far more suited to my riding than street, got some really good clips so will hopefully have a good video mid week. thanks

some hugh stuff getting nailed!! awesome.

Some clips put together from a month or so ago. little village called ballachullish. sorry again theres no music just loud brakes. comments welcome. cheers

Thanks, yeah your bang on, i sometimes look very rushed, i'll def need to work on it and try ride smoother!! This is what am looking for constructive criticism. any help will be taking on board!! cheers

thanks man, I've nearly sussed the gap to front, just 2wks ago for some reason it clicked since then i've been trying bigger and bigger moves to try get rid of the fear factor, seems to be working but alot of learning still to do. weathers not great here so finding it hard to get stuff done.

alright lewis, yeah cool we'll get out again soon. Planning at some point heading 6mile up the hill to the blackwater dam! should be awesome.

Thanks guys but i think am a bit over the hill now as am 27 going 28 so maybe 20years to late to be starting haha. Its good fun though and a new challange other than motor trials.

cheers guys, just heading out to mound for some more natty bashing but more flowy! should have video next wk some time.

think it should work now. cheers

Hi peeps, just some clips of my progress, not a great video but will have a good natty bashing one hopefully next week!! This video is mainly of gaps to front as thats all i have been practising at the moment! cheers

How old are your forks out of interest??

UPDATE, right after the advice/help you guys have giving me i thought about it and then started trying to get the move. so after watching adams vids and alex darks latest vid about 300hundred times which helped hughly!! Its all come together at last, last week it just clicked and now doing some quite beasty gaps to front and up to fronts. still needing to perfect it but its getting there. Going to start making a video this week so i hope the weather holds so i can get some good shots. thanks again guys!

cheers guys!! The bash gaurd is great, i have missed judged afew things and landed on it, you can feel it soak up the impacked, so for me its really good as it is more friendly to the frame,cranks etc when it go's all wrong. Its worth the extra few grams, Am not a complete weight weeny so its a good call for riders who are pushing there boundary's trying to get better.

Ross if you fancy trying another pad try tnn kenny b's or phat pads. The kennys with a fresh grind really are seriously good, bite and hold wet or dry but they do wear a grind down quick! One thing i will say is in the winter time when in the 0 temps they don't work at all. Am using my phatpads ATM just to try out again and they're also very impressive in wet or dry but don't match the heatsink yellows for all round braking IMO.

OMF GOD!! Pure insane power house, that was awesome riding.

thats great!!! how did it appear,catch any of the twats that stole it.

thanks man, tyres are nothing far from amazing, won't be using conti's anymore.
