    Hi i was just wondering if anyone on hear is interested in playing or watching football.

    I'll start i support Arsenal, i think they could get in the top three this year with signings like podolski, giroud and hopefully soon cazorla.

    I also play for a team called brora rangers at under 17s level at the moment as a striker or midfield.

  7. Broken Bones...

    When i was riding trials last year me and two friends were lifting a metal block for a gap or something. I was pushing up the way and they were pulling on it from the top, Next thing i know they have lost their grip on the block and my fingers get crushed bending completely backwards under the block. I then was shouting my head off for them to lift it off, it was a struggle to lift it off but when they did my fingers were all mucked up. I tore the ligaments in 3 of my fingers but now they are fine. A few months later i dislocated finger after falling backwards from a drop and stretching my hand out behind me to cushion the landing. This is not the picture of my finger but this is what it looked like, but the worsed part was having to push the finger back in place myself. I did it without thinking before or looking which made it less painful.

  9. Sidehop Help

    When your rolling up to the wall and hopping just before you jump up just say to yourself over and over again "dont put your foot down". This is what i did when i was in this situation and it seemed to work. Or as the others said build up the size of sidehop over time.

  11. Greatest Riding Accomplishments This Month

    Posted

    Today was my first time trying to learn to sidehop to my left with right foot forward as i was told i could go higher this way. It took a while getting used to it. But They were right i sidehopped 41" 4 times today my highest before this was 39" struggling and not consistently. But now i feel going to the left it does not take as much energy and i am sure i can go even higher than 41" consistently.

    Thats by biggest accomplishment this month.

    Hi Adam

    This question isnt linked in to the bike builder but would like your opinion before buying a frame off tartybikes. I have recently decided to sell my mod and start riding either 24" or stock. I am deciding between the echo trial 2011 24" or the echo pure 2012, i was just wondering which bike would be best for pure trials moves like sidehop, front to back, gap etc. I am 5ft 10 so would a light 26" be a struggle to fling about. Thanks

  21. Switching My Mod Bike For A Stock (Good Choice Or Not)?

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    I am thinking about selling my 20" bike and starting to ride a stock. I would like to keep my 20" and get a 26" but cannot afford to.

    I was just wondering from others expereience how long it takes to adjust to riding a bigger bike I am 5ft 10 and 16 years old?, Will it help me improve onto doing better things?

    Does anyone have any idea of a good frame which is ideal for pure trials riding because i will build the bike from the frame?

    Thanks
