Thats a belter of a fall!!! As above though, they both can break.

I would try get the dates changed for the wkend after as most of us plus myself are at the british comp 4th and 5th. I'd be up for the wkend after for sure!

Mixed reviews really, I use metal backings and there amazing but am really interested in other people views on this. I will try plastic backings and see how they fair up to metal backings.

doesn't take long to deform a freewheel. as said though nothing to worrie about, my sl does it as did my trialtech and tensile 96click.

nothing to worrie about bud, its your freewheel. Its gone egg shaped, you'll notice its your good foot forward when the chains slack due to taking all the weight and power.

kev on the entry form it says round 2 bob macgregor trial, its round 6

Hi peeps, right when i was down at the 3rd round of the tyke trial last wkend i noticed that alot of top/good riders are using plastic backings so its making me wonder why and what are the reasons behind it. Also when watching super elite riders on the p.c i notice alot of them also use them.

bikes ain't that heavy anymore!! gasser comes in at 67kg with a 300cc engine. you can fair move these bikes these days. toni bou is on another planet though, could watch him for hours and not get bored!!! I just watched that again, that is just unreal. sooo good!!!!

Hey guys, won't be heading up now as weathers really pants, theres snow at high grounds aswell, so much for summer ehh!

Hi dave, the rocks were fine, theres worse out there the conti tyres are great and i don't want to change them but the trial king front tyre won't be getting made anymore (could be wrong), since am very fussy i don't like to run odd makes front and rear, very sad i know!!! So i was just wondering are there any other really good natty bashing tyres out there, i have try-all lite tyres in shed but am yet to try them out. I was hoping there might be another model of conti tyre thats good up front?

Really good powerful riding dude, i can't help think how big you could go if you side hop with your good foot on the outside plus the gaps aswell you angle the bike with the good foot in. very impressive!!!

my set up is tarty stock stem 125mm 25% rise with rockman carbon riser bars and are forward slightly, am only 5ft'8 but feels and rides mega.

Nice write up and pics thanks gary

ahh that will be fine, they won't be using the river or rocks etc.

Yeah all i have here is natty really BUT its a awesome play ground, the odd bit of concrete but its very limited where i live. I have a try-all rear lite and front sticky in shed but havn't used them, maybe i should try them out. whats the maxxis tyres like??

Am really sad, i like to keep tyre makes the same and not odds. very strange i know lol

As title says, Am using conti tyres at the moment and find them great!! But it looks like the conti trial king is now no more and the supersonic i find is no good up front. I like to keep tyre makes the same front and rear so whats good out there which has the stability of a der kaiser on rear and lite and grippy upfront, Maxxis, try-all etc. cheers peeps.

Trev just show up, theres big rocks, logs if its dry, concrete pipes and of course the pure natty bashing river!! qualiteeeeeee

As above peeps, am heading up sat morning around 10 for the day. british championship is up there in 2/3wks so will be worth wile. cheers

lewis man up and grow a pair Really good advise above there! just commit yourself, if you fall you fall just get back up and try again. think about your technique and don't rush the set up stage, relax and get the balance point then preload like hell and remember to tuck!!!

touch down back in sunny scotland!! mega thanks to the organisers and observers, was a wet day but it sorts the men from the boys. very impressed with the sections and the quarry, great place. Plus jack carthy, one word (awesome). will there be pics and results up soon?? thanks garymac
