yeah me too,i would be happy to be an official test rider for those!(sooo,if you read this,crossbow... :wink2: ) gift me one! it would probably end up as a toilet paper roll holder after snapping though but yeah,cool too!

finally we can talk about stuff we have known for so long haha. not sure if alis bike would be of interest in that context,didnt he put pics up?

good to hear :wink2:

are you sure about the 116?in the vid its got v brake mounts,only seen discounter bmx´es with them so far lol

why wouldnt jaf try that idea in a no-cheese version,i´d be looking forward to seeing it?! edit:especially because the normal rear triangle would make a rim brake setup possible,one of the big downsides of the crossbow

in my apprenticeship there was a nice example from my teacher in material sciences: we had sheets and tubes from alu,ti and crmo and were told to bend them to a certain ammount(there was a test apparatus for that on which you could adjust the bend). alu lost the battle with three times less the load intervals than crmo(same diameters and wallthicknesses),ti won(surprise) i think it makes no sense to build a frame thats supposed to flex from a material that is starting to become brittle from the first load induction onwards... wasnt aimed on your post,josh.just my opinion about the crossbow idea

looks even more weird as a full bike,seems to be pretty rideable though. just wondering how long itll hold up the abuse of trials

if theyre never used youre getting some kind of collectors item :wink2:

its not like i´d change my way of writing for you or any other who belongs to the nation that uses the less capital letters(in fact) lol

what are you struggling with particulary? i had poblems to get the backwheel right on the spot the frontwheel was before(if that makes sense),and i figured out it helps alot to lean over the bars even more,so you get this"going over the bars feeling" just for a split second,then release the front brake and extend legs,while pulling the bars in "rear wheel stance" position(arms bent). edit:or did you mean just hopping to front?title is a bit confusing sry

that wasone of the best vids i´ve seen so far,liked tha fact that not every move was predictable.

andromedia video editor worked fine for me.got 1080p material mostly though,so i prefer my pc a lot

damn,seeing those clips it wouldve been awesome to see a whole vid of you!

wheres pt 2 now?

bike looks good! did you cut a shape in your pads brake block?

it was in 2010.... WAS,unfortunately!

seen that before,same category as that guy with his koxx shovel lol edit:

tendon injuries are special,when i had that it hurt badly for 3 weeks,then suddenly got better in a few days and a week later it was gone. doctor said its because the tendovagina (yeah it really has that name in doctors´jargon lol) has to build up its inner skin again,it gets kind of eaten by the scavenger cells that remove the dead tissue caused by the injury. once that skin has built up,the tendon itself heals quick in comparison.

is it only on one side ? thats what its looking like in the vid... try mounting the booster on top,mine didnt flex that much from the start but it made it even better,and thats with a good´ole horseshoe. edit:can you even mount it on top?dont know about the tnn ones

i think he wants to make his own hub for radial laced wheels its 1 mm in flange diameter per 10mm of flange distance,pretty easy isnt it? you can check that with any available spoke calculator in 1 min

6 mm in flange distance will only change the spokes length by 1 mm,so you only would have to change spokes if youd go over 6mm edit:calculated a bit,10 mm distance change lenght by 1

holy sh*t,youre riding pretty awesome on a bmx!

most asked question ever! but:sand down your piston a tiny little bit,should work-and a rebleed is never a bad thing,except for 2011s maggies lol

not wanting to bump this but have to say its a shame that my vid gets less comments than mccleefs teaser. at least theres riding in my vid

nicely made,but somehow the most pointless of his vids so far? i mean the ridings great,tra is one of the stylishest riders of our times,but something just didnt do it for me
