So I have had my bike ( inspired four play) for around a month and a bit, I've only really ridden about 6 times for a hour or so each time, I'm going to get into it more soon. So I can do 180 endos, I mean I can't do it on my first try but after around 5-6 try's I get it. I can not what so ever do back wheel hopping, I can't even get up on the back wheel for less than a second, I need some help with that, also I've tried balencing the front wheel which I can't even do . So I need help I can only get my hops like so little off the ground, no where near for doing anything in the air could do with help there. I know it takes time but I'd like some help with this basic stuff Thanks

Hi, thanks for all the advice, went out on my bike for the 2nd time today, I can now easily get 90 degrees on my endos but when I try to twist my body or look in the direction I'm going to go I fall, hops I am getting up a lot easier as I'm now leaning and pulling back instead of up, I'll go out tonight and try on Tarmac as I did this on wet grass

Well I know how to do the basic basic stuff(track stand, endo,wheelies,bunny hops). Today was my first proper day on my bike, I managed to do small 5 second manuals but I'm having trouble trying to do 180 endos, can oly get it to 90*. Also after a lot of trying I have no clue how to do a back hop, understand back hops take a long time but I can't even stay still on the back wheel :/ Help?

Sadly I don't have enough money for the hex. But trying to save up and get the money . But if I don't if will have to be build a bike option

Haha thanks mate, yeah ill be honest you seem more reliable than the other guy who just looks like he doesn't care, also he doesn't know the frame model so I think I've made a choice for your bike which is good news! I should have comfermation by Sunday abouts prices ect

I don't mind 26 and 24 but yes the four play only has a hydrolic back

Well here I have the two bikes I'm looking at buying I would go hands down for the hex but the inspired is in Scotland so if things go wrong I can get it back, the hex is a tinny bit more expensive for insurance and posting is further. Here are the specs, tell me which one you think is better =) Inspired Four play: Insired fourplay frame Echo front forks Chris king head set - £120 and is brand new Hope mono mini front disc with braided hose £100 also brand new Magura hs33 on back with back wheel grinded for better grip Hope front and back hub Aoamant bash ring Echo crank and pedals Echo seat clamp Inspired seat and post Monty handle bars Clarks grips Moto digger front and back tyres. And the hex: Its the exact same as the 2012 version but a hydrolic v in the back Sorry for the resent spamming this forum, hopefully I'll have a bike soon, I feel very strong with the hex but I'm a bit uneasy with how far away it is

My Commencal Mini Supreme Dh.

Yes I am how about you?

I will! The 26 element, that's my final choice

to be honest, I really don't do dj, I go to some pump tracks and some pretty big tables and gaps rarely and the only jumps I ever really go to more than 6 times a year are really really small tables but there is also a couple wall rides and such. I know trials takes along time so to make sure I don't quit it early I'm planning on buying an expensive bike like the inspired to in courage my self to keep trying. On my old jump bike I could do 180 endos and very small back hops so I'm hopping I will be able to improve them straight away

Thanks, I'm thinking ill maybe stick with the element and see where it takes me

I'm starting to realise that the new inspired 26 element I want may be too much as I can get a ns metropolis 2 2013 for the same price!!! I need a bike for STREET trials, an occasional trip to glentress and dirt jumps, the glentress will just be tabletop jumps. I was thinking maybe a dirt jumper with good brakes and ridged forks would be able to do the trick. And with a dirt jumper I could always do some more mountain biking but I have my heart set on the element.

Thanks, yes I think your conpletly right and for calopS what bike did he have?

But I don't think it would as easy to do the tricks and trials I feel like I would be able to do on a inspired

I really want to do trials I currently do have a hard tail as I sold it so I just have my dh bike. I want a bike for pretty much all street trials but also a wee bit of dirt jumping and park. Every person I say I'm going to get a inspired element 26 for 800 quid they all say just get an amazing dj instead. What should I do?

oh my god it's so perfect, and it's from halfords so the spec must be amazing

http://m.pinkbike.com/buysell/1303906/ This bike, then. Upgrade some parts like those bars stem and wheels, could it maybe be a good little inspired copycat bike ?

So, I want a bike that can do some nice trials(street trials) including flatland tricks like tail whips. Should handle well In a skatepark and able to handle tabletop jumps that around 5 ft high. Opptions: Second Hand 24 inch inspired element New 26 inch inspired element (734) Onza zoot (under 500) Diamondback Ashton Effect (350)

I'm tall, 6 ft 2. Want to get into street trials. Use to be able to do 180 endos before and was so close to back hops on my really heavy 26 inch jump bike. So it's a second hand element 24 inch which is around 550 or a new element 26 inch for 750???

Ok, so I want to by a bike on here, I want to not get scammed obviously, worked hard for my money with a paper round and weekend job. So I have 2 bikes I'm looking at look really nice lots of details. One guy said that he doesn't do PayPal and if I could make a bank transfer, the other has pay pal but only insists on doing a gift transfer, one of these guys just saw I was looking for a bike and said if I wanted his so they are all looking dodgy, please help

Pretty much the exact hight. I'm now looking at a inspired four play for 600 or a orange 24 inch trails bike for 400

I'm wanting a bike I can do all of the above in. I found a nice upgraded Ashton effect for 350. Should I take it and maybe put a 100mm fork on the front? It needs to handle small djs
