    rode in leicester today. snow, hail, rain despite a sunny forecast, f**ked my ankle, literally sucked balls at riding all day anyway, feel like i've lost a year of progression. train passengers angry at me having a bike, train conductors tried to kick me off at least 3 times. lectures at 9am tomorrow. not one of my best days :(

  10. Bar geometry - Breath or TriLite

    I would call your bar rolled forward yeah. Not super extreme, but enough so I would go for the Breath bar over the Trilite if it was me.

    Also, something else to consider for cockpit comfort, my general rule of thumb is if your bar is rolled further forward than the angle of rise of the stem (yours is) then you might consider using a lower rise stem so you don't have to roll the bar as far forward to get the same hand position. Since you're running the 150 x 30 Echo stem, switching to something like a 145 x 25 Crewkerz/Clean/Bonz stem would keep your reach the same but allow you to roll the bar back a bit while maintaining the same hand position (relative to the rest of the bike).

    what he said^ upside down bars hurt wrists, lower stem, bars more neutral= yes.

    clips from 2017, real mish-mash of clips, some seen, some not- just trying to capture the fun of riding i had. i feel theres a lot of tgs in here, not my usual but ah well. hope you enjoy, onto bigger things in 2018! thanks to anyone who filmed. There’s a borrowed bike in there somewhere too, cheers for that to the obvious party. im not particularly good, but i feel ive progressed last year to the point where im not, in my opinion, embarrassingly bad. will keep at it. :)

    just how strong are these? i know plenty of people who use them, but i know nothing on how often they replace them. will they be able to take a beating and survive? carbon parts have come a long way, so id like to think so. but a second, experienced opinion is preferred. cheers

    Hi, new to trials, rode motocross when I was a nipper 20ish years ago. I'm in denby, derbyshire, where can I ride for practice?

    if you're on facebook, hit up Zach Argrave or Andrew Chai @TheChai , theyre locals to the area and both very good riders too. 

    coincidently, ive made videos starring them both :P
