  1. You are doing 52 after a few weeks practice and 3 years of basics as a child, that is just 5" below current world record. If you train for another year, Carthy and Hermance will have a new rival for sure.
  2. Sick blue. Now complement this with Magura-yellow brakes...

    Fixies

    Rigid, Conti Sport Contact, single speed with freewheel and two v-brakes, some trials spare parts for good measure is the better choice in my opinion.
  4. http://oregonmanifest.com/vote/ If one would build a bike with a selection of the ideas from the other contestants, a bike which would be practical not only in videos, but also in reality, could indeed be the result. Anyhow, they say that Fuji will build the contest winner.
  5. Proper video. Especially music/riding sync. And the drop into the slide was way out.
  6. I hope the staff treated him appropriately.
  7. Finally, all his efforts in trials riding paid off.
  8. Colored like a nigerian transvestite, but I like that very much.
  9. Ask Inspired, they know their clearances.
  10. So it is some substance he could have taken to treat some swelling after an instect bite.
  11. According to Tribalzine, he was in Pra Loup, but not in time for the quarter finals. He was devaluated to 17th or something the day before that, so that it was required for him to enter the quarter finals to qualify, but apparently the news did not reach him in time.
  12. For positive tests in 2011 and 2012 at the World Championships. Does anyone know more about this, i.e. was it some stupid medication error he made or was it some substance one does not ingest accidentally?
  13. Trials riding - Russian style
  14. Picture shows HS11 with two-finger lever and optional but genuine Magura white cover. Haven't seen new ones cheaper than 32 pounds in Germany, you decide if fraud or steal. It doesn't have any mounts on it, that is imo a valid reason to sell that cheap. Also big old seller account.
  15. Why from? M5 still the high-end bike, the one on the first pic will be the mid-range solution with "adult comp" geo, using alu hydroforming and welding instead of carbon monocoque and less expensive parts.
  16. Friend of mine was there and he said it was around 10 1/2, but from looking at the video, I could swear it was one more. He also tried to coust 11 over a year ago, but couldn't wheel swap, if I remember correctly.
  17. There is some extra Jedi balance required to do that. But after seeing how easily he hooked to rear and held it up there on that tiny wall at 1:00, I'm quite sure he has that ability.
  18. I know. And that bunnyhop was on the funny side of 165. And he tapped the edge mid-air.
  19. The man can make swap his wheels real good. Time for the sponsors to get him to the World Cup... Speaking of height, there is also this little WC warmup jump of some Spaniard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-SQLVBwhns&start=573&end=576&autoplay=1&rel=0 Also notice the kicker simply not being there on the ground in front of the car.
