  1. I couldn't ride a bike in 2000
  2. What was the sidehop to pedal?
  3. looked about 70 inches up to pedal, and about 55+ over the tape, and up to pedal is tech as f**k
  4. go on vimeo, its titled la tour de scay, its the one where hermance is still on the 26
  5. Yeah I can easily bench 70 but im giving an example.
  6. Nah, I find that squats can be done in the powercage and on a squat rack, so if you fail, you aren't going to be forced into a painful sit, because the bar will be caught on either side by the rack or the cage. The valid point ye make is the need for a spotter, but still, I don't think the smith machine is great. It can cause damage to your joints and half muscle activation is shit.
  7. Using a smith machine is the worst idea for any sort of muscle growth or balance. it halves the muscle activation, and gives you a false sense of strength as well as f**king up your balancing muscles, so if you can bench 70 kg on the smith even 40 kg is difficult off it. Free weights are the best. If you use the smith on its own you're setting yourself up for failure.
  8. Yea I wouldn't recommend machines, and I didn't, but compound exercises are where its at, however, it can be difficult to get the right technique, which is why the bench and squat are the ones I recommended to him, because they are easy motions.
  9. You can't just say"no, no more" to someone when they start riding. Ye honestly are what I would consider to be stupid. Ye're worse than a schoolyard bully forbidding others from playing.
  10. I would say that a programme of heavy squats, plyometrics, weighted jumping, leg curls, super setting your calves, and jogging would be the best for the lower body and fitness of a trials rider. For the upper body, I would do the bench press, working from low to high weight and back. And do shoulder presses, and also bicep curls, and forearm exercises. Then I would do weighted sit ups and oblique crunchs, aswell as weighted back rises, and I would also do serious amounts of lat machine work, and work on your traps. What is heavy is defined by you. Also a sprinting programming such as 20 fifty metre sprints in a row, with no more than a minute rest between sprints, always going as fast as possible, will be great for speed and endurance. As you can see, trials requires a lot of work, because it is a discipline and sport that uses the entire body.
  11. house party is going on friday, the ung fella hosting it is a dickhead, and people are gonna turn up and wreck the place haha.
  12. Cause she wouldn't fit in the spacesuit
  13. I assume a lot of ye will know she has sucked blood out of her own tampon and posted that video to facebook. I saw someone make a video defending her, in case she commits suicide from bullying. Do you think you that this an acceptable thing to give someone genuine abuse over?
  14. It doesn't affect you, why care? I certainly don't. I don't feel the need to tell you I think you look bad when you ride, because you don't, but neither does Carthy. All this argument is about is how people like to ride. I like to do backwheel moves, you like to spin, and manual. But it's like what we do is somehow an affront to you, and vice versa. It's really annoying.
  15. Your arms spread out more, so it feels as if you have more leverage and control, where as when its rolled back its like you're arms are tucked in to your sides.
  16. Dreadlocks look awful, If I'm honest.
  17. Probably not, love trials. Just can't seem to get things done smoothly on the back without the bar being rolled
  18. Can I get an exemption from the hate?+35 BB without a rolled forward bar is just awful for keeping stable, I find.
  19. The difference is this is a private listing with a comment section, on the internet. I tell him that 1200 is too much and offer a price range where he may actually sell it.
  20. Well when someone asks for 1200 for a used stock spec Echo SL, and then give cheek when getting advice, subsequently if they end up having to look for 650, I don't think it was unwarranted advice.
  21. I have a nice size grass bank out in my back garden, I think that might be a good place to start. Its too big to go slowly up it, but practising putting down power in a small space will be good.
