Trashzen to the rescue. These two combined, using the momentum of the first to make the second one a bit easier: http://www.trashzen.com/biketrial-180-turn.php http://www.trashzen.com/biketrial-180-turn-2.php They are hopping a bit for the 180 sometimes, but as seen in the 360 in one turn, it can be done without lifting both wheels. For the 90-180-90=360 for most riders, there was a nice vid of Kenny B where he did it on the flat when he had this 24 street trials bike. I can't find it. But many BMX tutorials show it as a 90-210 or 230. It needs some practice to do more than 270 completely in the air starting from flat ground...

You could also try to learn the 360 on the backwheel only or on the front wheel only. But the rear wheel is hard on your joints while learning it, and the front wheel move is really difficult. I mean how many riders can do that?

No, its a double 180, 360 on the flat would be a jump, which is really a short 90 deg manual, a 180, and another short 90 degrees manual for most riders.

You could practice the double 180 on the flat. Turn in, push hips beside the stem, turn with hips and knees, keep weight there until landing, then push hips back, twist starting from the head. In the second 180, when you lift the front wheel, try to straighten up mid-move like when you are doing a pedal-up, but keep your head and body twisted, looking at your landing already.

They'll rob our asses blank with that. They'll tell us that they can't offer a job currently, or we will get "best personal offers". They'll base it on our social media circle, our online wording, on the time we get up on Sundays, and on how aggressively we drive. It is not like that anyone sells anyone any data directly (imagine the outcry), it is just service companies offering statistically proven analysis services for other service companies, and some privacy policies with lots of "may" and "such as". Compared to this worst case, Hitler and Mielke were amateurs in Totalitarism. Sorry, sometimes this shit gets me. But now that i've taken my meds, we can continue with Trials talk...

? -> Just fill in the name. It won't matter for FB, they know anyways. They want clear names mostly to get more civilized posts and profiles (not a fake Berlusconi, for example) Having no clear name in IT profile data is only an advantage against individuals (a neighbour snooping around while browsing), not against larger organizations (an HR services company buying processed profile data).

Nice find. I fail to see the reason to have three rim brakes with insignificant differences apart from the price. If we are lucky, it will leak less.

A real name is just another attribute in a profile. Apart from the most dormant profiles which are almost never used actively, deriving the real name from the other profile data is a basic exercise.

I think everyone here can imagine the ridiculous amounts of skill necessary to do a no-handed backwards wheelie like it was nothing...

I'm just imagining Damon Watson*'s mother on TF: "we are going to work on his strength". * The manliest Trialist, just to be clear about this.

World elite rider I happen to know said we will see 8 to 9 palettes in the women world elite finals soon. Currently it is around 7, I think. I'd reckon 12-13 and 10-11 palettes are the natural biological limits.

Bent cranks? The gayscared OTN users will love that...

That is the first carbon fork alu frame combo to look coherent. Well done. "Coming out" will feed the OTN troll horde just nicely.

So there will be a Crewkerz Carbon fork?

The lack of hype and trendwhoring in this video was comforting. 9 epals high without even preloading is impressive...

@flipp: I have no knowledge about this, but anyway: Now that you have unlocked the BMX street pro level, some major BMX-external sponsor might be interested. Thinking Vans, for example. One question: Does brakeless at your level still include these scary-fast "no-brake holding the bike" crashes?

Carthy bars: Breath? Carthy shoes: ? Carthy style: ->inf

The cranks look like they were almost unused.

Censored in Germany -> Vimeo please...

That is not only a f**king URL shortener spyware crap link, but also completely unrelated spam.

You can have a -100 gr disc version from Hashtagggg

oh my god

You sayin' these are forged?

I'm always baffled by the Gilles' decisions to not ride (Heubach last year, Krakow, now this), given the level of obsession (and talent) one needs to get to his level. His decisions were right, though.

This is properly obsessive tuning. Nice work! Apart from the cranks, I can't see something that is way too light for its geometry or material when you are a smooth rider and don't do much wedging (shorter-than-wheelbase obstacle between the wheels). I don't know anything about the rear tyre or these forks, just that Hashtagg went way lighter than this with their new disc forks. The brakes will leak, of course, but no one produces rim brakes with Magura-die-casting quality nowadays.
