  1. This is the best trials video ever. Even compared to Danny Macaskills videos. Even to Chris Akkrigs. Show me one video, in any genre, where they to such awesome, original tricks on a bike, that was designed for a completely different use! I doubt that there will be a better video ever.
  2. no I just said, that personally I would not really worried about 5mm difference in geo, ( not like 5 "ohmygodwhatisthat" like on the 2nd picture. god, that's ugly), although as some people told that it can be important
  3. how long are you riding a bike? I meant ultra pros for everyone who can ride awesome compared to me. that is like loads of people.
  4. Lady:-a trials rider? what is that? you:- it is like a jump bike, and looks like a bmx, but kinda different Lady: ohh, so you ride a BMX! You: yes, I do. Every. Single conversation about trials riding ^^^daamn
  5. as far as I see, the geo does not make that huge difference Martyn Ashton road rage the Hungarian guy with the Echo 24 and sick street moves Flipp with mod doing street its more about the rider, and if you are very good, then maybe you can feel/need that 5mm+- geo, although I am quite sure most of the people here would not feel if the bike would have 5mm more bb height or wheelbase ( I am not talking about the ultra professionals here)
  6. then, you are like the half of the forum here
  7. actually I have seen Sean Burns new proto, he has the same type of seat ( but wrapped in panther patterned leather) and he could do massive tricks with it. When do tarty start to sell them? Is it hard to put them on? Does it fit to a Foreplay?
  8. I love the slammed seat, it can be very comfortable!
  9. why do they have seats? I mean you do not really sit on them as well, and they are "heavy" components.
  10. I am pretty good with compressed files. Let me unzip your pants My servers never go down. but I do
  11. Anyone from Inspired, I am looking for a Foreplay from Inspired, it should be 24 inch long, how much will it cost?

      ( I have seen too many Inspired Foreplay advertisements here)

  12. just an example: in my hometown there are minimum 5 WTP BMXs ( and it was a small town), whereas I reckon there were less than 5 Inspired in the country As you see, BMX is a popular sport, very popular. It has its own style, culture and main charachters. Where trials and especially street trials is very small and young. There is only a several popular names ( Danny MacAskill, Martyn Ashton sadly is not that famous as Dan), only a handful of people ride( compared to any kind of biking sport) and it does not have that kind of culture or style that would grab the masses, as in BMX. What I want to say it, that there are loads of BMX companies, who make their frames in Taiwan with machines and they can sell in very very large quantity. Whereas Inspired sells for a small audience, but top quality items. you can argue with it if you want, but in general this is most of the riders opinion, whereas I am not sure if a £170 BMX frame is a competition/high level frame
  13. as far as I am aware, Ali C makes the wheel, and I assume he lives here, not in Taiwan. Let assume that he works for minimal wage (khhm) that is £6. That should be 6 times more than a usual worker earn in Taiwan, or much much expensive than a machine that assemble x thousand wheels per day. I reckon the main difference between Marino and Inspired is that Inspired makes pre-set frames ( Fourplay, Skye and so on with a geo) in high quality but not in a big ( like 1000s) quantity ( if I am wrong please tell me) so it justify the price. And these bikes are not for everyone, just like the £3000 Downhill bikes are not for beginners, although they can use them as well, but they are desinged for professional level riders, so does these bikes. And as in everything, high level, professional and racing stuffs are expensive, but good quality. ( I tried to not make bad opinions aboud Marino, and I dont have, because I have never had a Marino frame, but as far as I heard he is not a high end framemaker.) (* did you notice that ClericGTM made a good discussion? but not with the proper tools, thats true)
  14. I am willing to let it go, in case that you wont bring the level down here in forum. Please phrase nicer. We are British. We drink tea, and we are nice in general
  15. I am kinda glad that you did not mention Omen bikes, because than it would be too suspicious
  16. yes, I actually rode that bike, and it felt light, and slow and monumental compared to a mod. I am not sure if its more comforatble or I did not got used to it. I will ask him to ride it again
  17. Hey guys So, I am on my mod again, and I kinda forgot everything that I knew before. Anyway, there is a guy here, who is selling his bike for £150, that is a Koxx Hydroxx 26". It has some faults, but it works. I have a Koxx Hydroxx at the moment, a 20" version, that I know everything about it, and I spent a fair bit on it. My question is: What do you think, would it worth to get the 26" now, or first I should learn the basics on my 20" bike, and get a 26" if I really know what I need later ( like when I learn to ride properly) on?
  18. Tartydays 2012 was awesome! like this status if you agree with me! Scroll down and your soul will burn in hell! #yolo #smokew33d #omen4badboys
  19. do not get me wrong, but if you need our help, than you wont get millionaire without selling drugs There is a reason why the majority of people are not millionaire here. I mean, If I would know the secret, would not I be a millionaire then? you must figure it out by yourself oh yeah, drugs on silkroad.
  20. I have actuall 4 25mm bolts, just they are too... long. so these taps would be good for me? If i do something stupid please show it to me, I am a computer technician and Electronical Engineer, I am living kinda " in the nerd world"
  21. because i could mount the brakes easily that way, and worked. you got some pretty good point over there
  22. they are comfy! I love them Yea, but my problem is that I am a nerd, so I had to take apart one of my faulty xbox for spacers.
  23. the threads in the frame are bad. The bolts go in only for half a centimeter I laced it wrong, on the right side it should be radial, but I used double crosses
  24. Hey, call me just Hippy, dont tell anyone who am I really, please! Threads are fcuked, so the bolt only went in for halfway. So I needed to be creative and sort this problem out. It works!
