still looking out for an inspired to try out. i definitely want to keep on with manuals/rolling/not too static and the commencal is good for that though it has a really short feel. so, i think something in between and quite a bit of getting used to the different setup/geo is the way forward.. again thanks for the info!

yeah it doesn't take much to pick up the front wheel on the commencal, like you say - you just lean back! thanks for the advice, i'll look into the inspired / changing the bars/stem..

i'm new to this so i'm a bit clueless but.. i'm currently riding a commencal max max dj/park bike, it's a 26 and has got a pretty short wheelbase. i'm looking to get more of a street trials bike, looking at 24s, so had a go on a standard spec 2010 zoot but it seemed kind of too long - more awkward generally pulling up the front wheel/doing manuals etc. i've had the commencal for a little while now so i guess it's a case of getting use to a different bike but the zoot definitely didn't feel right.. so i was wondering do the inspired element 24 / fourplays have a similar geometry / ride similar to the zoot? also, the stem on my commencal (and most dj bikes) are generally different to trials bikes so they would make quite a bit of difference to the ride too? any advice much appreciated!
