Cheers man will do

Learning the balance point now and getting up on the rear wheel with no aids, just by a pedal kick/punch. Fairly happy with the progress. http://youtu.be/5DKpqxX_BQw

It looked pretty close too. I was planning on overtaking the lorry till he pulled out. My bad, ill stop ringing the BBC so they don't put it on the news tonight. Yep, pretty much. Nothing ever really happens down here lol. Thanks for your comments.

I have a driving story to share. I was driving with my mate in the car, going down the old A30 in Cornwall. Next minute the lorry in front of us pulled onto the other side of the road, revealing a tractor in front of it, and it actually did it, it nailed the tractor and stormed off. Im so glad i had my GoPro set up as a dash cam, heres the video. http://youtu.be/47isGPo6ow4

I have too many pets at our house. Birds, Dogs, Cat, Goose lol. We did have 4 dogs. A springer, 2 dog de Bordeaux's (Hooch Dog from 'Turner and Hooch') and my loved boxer who unfortunately passed away a few months ago. Here is a video i found of my boxer, always makes me laugh. http://youtu.be/xOvQhGfND-o

I have been looking at the hope pro 2. But what bottom bracket would fit?? Looking on TartyBikes there's two sizes, and I don't know which will fit mine. Thanks for your comments

I'm not looking to upgrade just yet, maybe after Christmas. I'm just wondering what kind of parts would fit a MAD Phase 1.2? I'm thinking of changing to single speed, new bb and cranks and lighter forks first.

Ha ideal thanks a lot I wondered how they changed before I saw this lol. Thanks again

Amazing video. Loved it Its hard to imagine you all started at ground level (like us all really lol), you make it look so easy. Great riding and a good variety of moves. I love watching videos like these. Keep them coming

Hi, I wasn't completely sure were to post this so i thought off topic would be fine. I put a thread up earlier of me learning trials, but i had to but the link in to show the videos which took you to youtube. So what im asking is, how do you embed the video so that its already there and you don't have to be redirected to youtube. Thanks

Thanks for both of your comments. I will do, i've set myself small goals. Like being able to balance and drop of a picnic bench in a month, that kinda thing

Hi everyone, I got my Mad Phase 1.2 on saturday. I used to do a bit of bmxing about 3-4 years ago. I took my bike out the first day i got it and started practising. I took some videos of myself so i could see my progression. Here they are. This is the day i got it so Day/Session 1 This is my second session after resting for a day due to lots of aches How do you think im getting on?? Thanks

I don't know where he lives. And the tread seemed heated. I wasn't having a pop. So he's able to use the correct tools or access expert advise. And yes he's silly not to use that. Like I said not how I or anyone else would do it. Was only trying to be nice and to cool down the thread. Clearly I won't get involved next time. I don't know why I bothered as meant in my other post its a pointless thread. Cheers

All I can say is if he's got the money to keep buying new parts let him get on with it. Not personally how I'd do it and I'm sure it's not how everyone else would do either. But chill guys. I don't think it's aimed to piss anyone off, but to show how he does it using his knowledge and resources. Boom. End of. Next thread please

Ideal thanks for all the replies. Ill bare this in mind when it comes to doing the brakes in the future.

When I've read through some the topics on here and seen the descriptions of bike for sale, sometimes they mention that the brakes are water bled? Do you use water or oil for hydraulic brakes because i would have thought if you put water in the insides would rust? plus if you use oil but water bleed wont the left over water mix with the oil? Im not planning on bleeding my brakes at the mo as i haven't got my bike yet, but could someone answer this for my as i don't understand. Thanks

I've been into trials for years but not often road. My dad got me into it as he used to ride with 'Martin Lampkin', Dougies father. I did a little bit of motorcycle trials when I was younger, I really enjoyed it but I didn't stick to it. A few years later I discovered bicycle trials which of course I was interested in but could never afford a bike. A few more years on (last week) I decided to get a trials push bike as I had some money to treat myself before crimbo. Also by this time YouTube is huge and I watched lots of trials vids including Danny Mac which 'inspired' me more. So learning the basics over crimbo then taking my new found skills out in the new year

Thanks again for the comments. I can't afford to upgrade at the mo so il just replace things when something happens No I don't mind, paid £120 for the bike, lil bit more for postage. He said he bought it new last year so hoping he's guna send the receipt like I asked. Wanted a zoot but I couldn't afford like 170-250 used lol but hey I'm happy with the phase. Looking forward to getting it in the post this week and practising on the drive so I'm hopefully ready for next year to go out and play

Not sure, i bought it on ebay but they may have advertised it on there too. Ideal, ill bare that in mind as im not sure were id start when upgrading once i become a bit more experienced. I have pics on the new thread.

So I've just bought my first trials bike, a used MAD Phase 1.2, little tatty in places but is still strong overall. I don't mind the scuffs and that as im sure being my first bike ill put plenty more on it Quick Spec: -26" wheels with Maxxis high rollers (there's a cheap tyre on the front currently, another high roller will be on when i receive the bike) -SRAM 8 speed gears -front and rear Magura HS33 hydraulic rim brakes -suntour duro cranks I have some plans to paint it later on once i become a bit better just to freshen it up. Here are some pictures, let me know what you think.

Wow. One of the best forums I've been on for feedback. I appreciate everyone's input. However I didn't manage to get the bike, it was slightly out of my price range. Bit gutted, but have found something else I've just bought and paid for a used MAD Phase 1.2 a fair bit cheaper than the zoot. So looking forward to receiving it in the post hopefully end of next week. I've read some good things about these too, although I did watch someone on a video snap their forks, but ill just replace with stronger ones if it ever came to that. Although I was looking for a 24" I think for the price of the Phase 1.2 it will make a half decent learning bike. I will post some pics up shortly on a new thread.

I haven't bought it yet and the picture is bad but here it is.. Thanks for your comment, i am looking to go kinda street as i have 3 towns about 20mins from where i live and a city where i travel to Uni. I'll probably start at home with wood pallets or something, i also have a sitting bench i could use.

Hi, Im new to the forum and looking at getting my first trials bike. Ive seen a 2010 Onza Zoot that im quite interested in, it has no seat and the 24" rims which im cool with, so thought i would read up a bit more on it. Basically when i was reading up i saw that there were two different frames, or one with a seat and one without, i just wanted to know what the difference was, if any at all. Also what do people think of the 2010 Onza Zoot? Thanks, Josh
