It's going on a Voodoo Shango. I figured the bike was good to start on with it being cheap, and knew within a month, would probably look like i beat it to death with a hammer. But if i can upgrade parts in the process, it would be good!

Hey people! Bit of a noob post, but i've decided to change the stem on my stock, from the one it came with, the stem that came as standard is roughly 90mm, but with no rise. And was thinking of getting a new one, to possibly aid my riding. I was wondering what length or degree of rise is best for a 26"? I know it's down to personal preference at the end of the day, but was just interested to see what others used, and found best for riding. Thanks. Rob.

I've always mountain biked prior to trials, so i bought stock, and i love it. But for me it was more or less a straight cross over, as for stocks being heavier, i know it's not much of a comparison, but the inspired skye 24" weighs in at 11.95kg, and my stock is only just over a 1kg more. But i'm 6"2. I suppose it's mainly based loosely around what people started on, and feel more confident and comfortable handling.

I'm fairly eclectic when riding to be fair, my track list at the moment is The Rocket Summer - Do You Feel Skrillex - Kyoto Will.i.am - The Hardest Ever Hollywood Undead - I Don't Wanna Die [borgore Remix] Dappy - RockStar Labrinth - Earthquake [539 DnB Remix] Enter Shikari - Juggernauts [Nero DnB Remix] You Me At Six - Jaws On The Floor Jessie J - Nobody's Perfect [Netsky Remix] Two Thirds & Feint - Starscapes Hadouken - Mic Check Ayah Mara - Mind Controller [shockOne Remix] Skream - All I Ask Of You [Trypt Remix] I pretty much just play through the same list, over and over. Haha.

Hey man! Thanks for the reply! My only problem is, where I live, there is no-one else that does it :[. (Lives in the countryside). Lol. Unless I travel to the nearest city. Which might have to be the case to be fair. I've been watching a lot of videos on it etc though lately. Which have been helping a lot, and thanks for the link! Hope everyone's coping with the snow! Lol.

Hey people! After looking for a forum related to trials, for the most part, I was pointed here. :] Only just started myself in honesty, I BMX and motocross for the most part, and thought i'd finally give in, and have a go at trials properly. Will be good to try and get involved more and gather some tips off other riders! :] So i've recently invested in a Voodoo Shango, not amazing, but i'm new to it, and fancy something to experiment on before shelling out money. Haha. Hope everyone's Ok! Rob.
