  1. Not so tight and buy the stretch/elastic ones, try out if you can do squats and how much can you open your legs. You can't ride with EVERY jeans =P just try out which ones work for you. I ride only with jeans unless it's burning hot in here, never had issues.
  2. That exactly happened to me, when I started giving it a go at a sidehop of 9 pallets, I went from 7 pallets to 8.7 in about 2 weeks time; so I tried 9, did it twice within like 20 attempts and then I forgot how to sidehop entirely and went back down to 7 pallets for the rest of about a year up until now. And I've been pissed till now of how can I forget to do something that I seemed to have gotten in such a natural way before. I'll try this hack and report the findings in trials and something else as well.
  3. Yeah I'm just a disgrace to trials if someone did that in such a short amount of time.
  4. Do something about the birds. Never tried "accepting" the challenge instead of positive thinking which is what I normally do. Will try to see if I improve, also the brain predicting means that it will come down to time behind the bars.
  5. It takes ages to make your body get rid of the bad habits. Even if in your mind is crystal clear what you have to do. For instance, after I don't know how many thousands of sidehops I can't tuck the bike under me properly.
  6. I could watch it! He even did the gap here: And deleting is just the norm, it would be weird if he left it up wouldn't it?
  7. I've been going back and forth between 7.5 and 6 for the past year; I wish 2 pallets in a season was that easy
  8. It's a lot of cholesterol if you think about it
  9. It doesn't matter if he's good or not, if it's "trials" or not, truth of the matter is that due to his videos (intended or not) he raised a lot of eyebrows and made people look into the sport to attract new riders. Even if it was a total accident; he made the sport a lot more popular, which is good however you look at it. I for one accidentally stumbled upon one of his videos in 2010, after that I thought it was cool and then dug a little deeper and liked what I saw with other riders and other videos (Damon Watson), the same evening I was practicing the trackstand on the street, and to this day I ride every single day. I don't even like his riding anymore but I'm still thankful I saw that video
  10. I tried that once and in the wet the brake was non-existent. Other than that I can't complain about it. Do you guys use tar, rim spray or go raw?
  11. What? Somehow your riding became even more ridiculous! That was amazing, how do you even do that?

    Ride Clean 2015

    Because Benito did it, now everyone does it. Same with Carthy and his bars, he did it, then everyone started doing it.
  13. Those are some really really good riders.
  14. Well if you're already riding those places anyways, might as well take the camera with you one day and make a raw clip version or something like that instead of a full edit. (that'd be awesome) Or someone can take you were the rocks are gigantic
  15. What a cool place The stem also has to do with it, way too long for those riders.

    I don't even understand how, but it's so cool!
  20. That's 1 thing that I feel hinders my riding and a lot of people would feel the same; not using full body motion. When I want to go bigger I just try to do everything with more strength and "power" but always moving just about the same distance while preloading. It's feels like preloading more than what you normally do is this nether region of unknown where you don't even feel you have balance and on your bike anymore.
  21. He looks so weird with such a long stem.

    Look harder, they are there.
  23. These chill videos are really good, I actually prefer them than the full edits.
  24. The random smelly gipsy again! they never fail to appear.
