  1. Tweels, perhaps. Flexible frames to support jumping. A new riding style using 29ers, like In Akrigg's fixie vids. 650b replacing 26.
  2. 29ers with 1200 wheelbase, since many teens are 7 foot giants nowadays. As a result, we will see 75" sidehops some day, and 12 foot gaps. Splined freewheels, cranks and stem-fork connections. Carbon everything. And yes, tubeless. Drum brakes, if some manufacturer finally understands that they can be made light, impact-protected and with instant and high braking power.
  3. Don't listen. Brakes make riding more manly and powerful.
  4. I like. From the clothing used, I guess it is heated... damn
  5. Haven't used Ansys, but there should be some global graphics view with a coordinate system somewhere. If x is truck moving direction and y perpendicular and flat, so z is the vertical axis, then x-cosine and y-sine will give you a front/side wind direction. BTW: Use the right unit, sine and cosine are typically programmed to take rad as a unit, making the argument pi/9.
  6. For me, this vid is defining trials riding.
  7. Hi Forum, is a 135 hub advisable for this http://www.trial-bikes.com/tryall-bb30-crankset-p-536893.html crankset?
  8. This bike is gonna look awesome.
  9. Joined facebook for you. facebook.com/settings?tab=followers then "Who can follow me" -> Everybody.
  10. I don't use Facerape, but I know there is a settings flag to let others follow you without friendship, i.e. let them see your posts. Since you regularly create good videos or present pictures of your tricked-out bikes, this may be all they want. Possible other explanation: They want to sex you.
  11. Looks like a bird murdered a fluffy rabbit.
  12. You are right, the app overload has nothing to do with Facebook in particular. Facebook is in the same category as many other modern com apps like WhatsApp or Snapchat in that their business model is based on algorithmic behaviour prediction. With email, one can have an own server, which is good practice in the industry I work in, just to reduce the amount of analysis white-collar criminals can do. Therefore, I use email in private as well, so I don't have to check any other accounts. This is why I incorrectly mixed in the 1000 com apps argument. Nevertheless, there is the time-consuming trend of checking a 1000 apps amongst many young today, and a waste of time on digital com is what the thread starter complained about, although in a more specific context. XKCD said about that problem:
  13. I use E-Mail to stay in touch with people. But I guess I am way too 90s - this is 2013, an era of a 1000 com apps feeds to constantly check.
  14. The frame is made by easy-bike.cn, brand name is Speedrace, the frame is called Speedrace Solo, last year's model is similar to the one in the vid: http://www.tribalzine.com/?Le-catalogue-Speed-Race-2012
  15. The dirtiest pond in the world. David knows no fear of heights. Not even of diarrhoea from a possible fall into this "pond".
  16. Worse: Fake story ends with victims in hospital and not dead. Perhaps because the author felt it would have been too preposterous to let him get away with killing four. In reality, they are dead and one more is fully paralysed, and the criminal gets away with it.
  17. I should add that the man on the bike is presumably Marko Blau, who sells the bike in his shop http://www.biketrial.ch/shop/index.php . Worth a look, especially since he sells the tokbike (the forum favorite). I should also add that I am in no way affiliated with Mr. Blau.
  18. There is also a pro mod bike for adults now. I already posted that in the news section. Anyway, here is the bike:
  19. As seen in Vašek Kolář's latest videos...
  20. I look at the videos of riders who have comparable height and strength, and I observe the general style, i.e. if I ride or want to ride like that.
