Hello guys
There's has been something bugging me for some time .My front foot is staying higher than my other foot.
Seen this before . Some riders call it their STRONG / BEST foot .
Yours has now realised this and has positioned its self higher than your other foot to gain that extra power . Take immediate advantage of this wayward power hungry foot as it can propell you further . It's a win win for you both .
Onwards and upwards .

Seems like the copy of 4play 2011-2013 with some changes.
What ? It's nothing like .

He doesn't want to travel. He doesn't want to bloody move either . All Flipp wants is somebody local to him to ride with .

Your edits never fail to inspire . Do you create these when you are on your own or are you riding with others?
Keep them coming JB .

Yes! Perhaps he'll make the 26" category watchable. Nobody apart from Aurelien can actually make riding on a 26" bike look good nowadays.
That there Belgium fellow can still cut the mustard And that there Yorkshire MAN too. Little Lord Font Leroy isn't the only one. And his vids/edits aren't all that Pleasing on the yocks

Yep, anyone with half a brain could work out its a Santa Cruz Carbon trials frame/fork/rims...
Heard through the grape vine he's working on a San Fran edit as a welcome to the team video for SC. Heard some other stuff too that ill keep shtoom about for now.
Oh please please tell, keeping shtoom just isn't fair .

Also good to get a bit of background of the rider, enjoyed it well done.
Where's Ben from? He doesn't sound Scottish.

Also If tarty lads read this, do you not stock replacements of have I missed them? I guess mabye that the Echo SL bearings fit and that might be the answer?
Cheers peeps.
Ciaran.
Why don't you just get in touch with tarty instead of hoping they read your post ? I am sure that they will sort you out .

I've thought about Contacts just for that reason. (Maybe LASIK someday). I'll have to look into the contacts idea again. The idea of touching my eye really weirds me out, suppose I can get used to it.
This year I'm doing a lot of shows after dusk. Even with proper lighting, I'm going to have to wear my glasses. (also having to buy lights this year
) My eyesight isn't soo bad the warped vision is too difficult to get used to, although I imagine it could really throw things off for someone with bad vision.
I have really enjoyed wearing them a few times on natty. Being able to see all the little variations in the surface is super neat. They still drive me crazy getting sweaty and smeared up.Contacts is the way if you can get used to them.

Still trying to get used to the chunky new style bmx seats ,but your bike looks nice /fresh.
Just wondering, is the more padded raised seat for more bar spinny moves?

I'm sure there is a number of gyms in the greater London area, yes.
And we wonder why trials forum is on its knees . It's a good job we have the likes of Flipp who posts
with helpful replies to new members who are genuinely trying to get involved wether they are people getting back into the sport or riders from other countries . They don't come on here to get replies like above .

I wouldn't normally put too much thought into it either but this happened twice already and I'm kinda annoyed by it. I have never had such a problem before and having used two different sets of new Shimano steel bolts I come to wonder where the problem really lies. It's not that all bolts come loose but I think it's only the same two (holes). Could it be that my Hope hub as some issues? With my Bonz Disc hub I have never had these kind of problems.
edit: I just saw that I mixed up two topics. The hope adaptor I mentioned before is for my Saint caliper, that is too far out.
If its the same two coming loose there's a possibility of faulty threads in the hub. Worth checking out.

Yes of course I know this.
The bedding in procedure is the pad leaving a residue of its self onto the rotor, the material we make disc brake pads out of can't grip onto a metalic surface which is why the brakes need to be bedded in.
Wrong

Hi Guys,
trying to get my hands on a giant team trials frame. If anyone has one laying around covered in dust give me a shout.
Pile of money waiting!
(I had number 97 nearly 16 years ago! - f&@k I'm old!!!)
There's a complete build on Gumtree now for £130 ,definitely worth a look at pal

Hey guys.
Just wanted to release my stress while riding. Its been 8 years and just getting back into trials. Having confidence issues on a 2 foot wall!!! I have confidence to wheel swap it but nothing else its really getting my anger levels high.
Tips will be really appreciated!
Thank you for reading my rant.
Anger levels don't relieve stress . Enjoy the riding and be happy with progress your making now. Look forward not back. Remember the race between the Rabbit and the Tortoise.

Just so happens, that I'll get a set of Stiffies for a small buck. Unfortunately, they are the fluo green ones, that really don't fit to the color of the bike. I have the option of having the color changed professionally by a good friend and am thinking of adding another color to the bike. I might go with white but am uncertain. forks, bars and rims in gunsmoke grey would be cool as well.
Or I could just ride those fluo green rims.
Go on, throw a spanner in ,be a devil.With the bars it would be a colour (revulsion )revolution ☺

Got it so cheap I cannot believe it's true. The guy bought it three years ago and rode it for like 5 times. There's not even a scratch. Somehow he managed to break the front brake but as I'm going to ride the MT5s anyways, I don't care.
Unfortunately I couldn't get the bars in a different color for the price I paid (half of the Arcades) but I don't really care. I took it on a short ride today and was impressed on how easy bunny hops are even after not having done them for three years. Not that I can jump very high (50cm to rear). I tried to manual as well and I think I will be able to do this consistently by the end of this year.

Really liked it, filming goes a long way. My complaint would be going back to locations already used, didn't really work with the little story to it.
