Ah no way, was not expecting a yes. I'm a little iffy on her new album but Ten Love Songs is one of my favourite albums, went to see her last year and she was great so have fun.
ten loves songs was my favourite, "slowly" specifically. i wish i had gone to see her while that was being played live

If it's Susan Sundfor I'll like your post
it is.
if you like susanne, we need to ride bikes and discuss music

i booked tickets to see my favourite singer next year. i don't think i've ever been this happy about something. she's quite niche, not many people know her in this country, but the tickets sell fast so i had about 6 notifications telling me when they went live. the experience of seeing and hearing someone in person when you've listened to their music on electronic devices for years i think will be... other worldly for me. the venue only sits 400 so i bought the tickets at warp speed

i like them. those weights for a standard bike are ridiculous. i'm also a fan of you tarty guys keeping the bars at the neutral angle
cables-shmables.

@PiccolaAquila you're more likely to improve when riding with people of the highest level like them!
-
i know you may think of this as sacrilege but id say get a seatless 24". flicky like a mod, long like a stock. (in general) and if you split your current bike ill take the bars

hooks > no hooks. rail line was ballsy. music goes well as usual, the self styled filming with close cut frames and multiple big angles seems to compliment your some-would-say.. unusual music taste for edits (even though i like 'em). or maybe its because i started watching your videos when i started riding, so it just feels familiar yet progressive. who knows!
big props

Hi guys, so i suddently got the urge to try out trials biking. Im buying a used bike because of budget. I already have a long background of xc mountainbiking and a bit trail. My two options are monty 219 mag and monty 221 ti. By the pictures it seemes like the 221 ti has a slightly longer wheelbase. I want to ride some street trials but i know i wont be doing any fancy pancy tricks. I'l just learn the basics and play around. (Red one is 221 and silver one is 219) the 219 also has a lot of upgraded parts and comes with some extra shit. (Dunno if that makes a difference)
Edit: i realized just now that i posted this on wrong thread, sorry for that
theyre both good starter bikes. wouldnt worry too much about the wheelbase if youre just starting, just with whatevers cheaper. bear in mind one has discs and one has maguras, so if youre quite rough be prepared to be bending some discs back into shape. that said, id personally go with the 221.
-
i wouldnt worry about that, i ran 50 brakeless and the rim tape was fine
with brakes on a big bike i run somewhere near 20-25 for all them bouncy stunts, yo.

I don't get how people like Benito and the Cousts still get a kick from riding, they achieved everything and hit there targets/limits years ago. It's seriously impressive.
Does Vincent Hermance still ride? He always had a real savage attack.
i get the feeling you dont follow the trials world too much anymore
yes he still does, still competing at top level. and is still savage.

Just now, Mark W said:
Yep yep yep. Fully agree.
Reminds me of when a certain forum member tried implying that Ozonys dropped Benito because he had an "awful style"...
saw that on Zoot_alors' insta
"ignorance is bliss"
-
i love how he has so much tuck he has to move out the way of the bike when he goes up stuff. his style hasnt changed, if not gotten better with age.

Needs new forks but she still pretty.

I got my first trials bike yesterday, a shiny red Arcade from Tarty Bikes (Great service!).
I have a background in BMX, although I've only rode xc mtb and road for the last 10 years or so.
This morning was my first ride, I found a quiet spot on a closed road with kerbs and some half meter high concrete blocks. Supprisingly, I seem to have remembered a lot from my bmx days, although I wouldn't call any of what I managed smooth or controlled! I need to build a lot more strength and control.. I managed to trackstand (do this on the other bikes anyway), trackstand to rollback into trackstand, 180 endo and 180 hop to rollback, rockwalks, a few 10m ish manuals, pedal to blunt and pedal to fufanu (spelling?) on the kerb, also managed both without peddling, and managed a series of back hops from one kerb to the other.
Was getting to grips with hops to front on the kerbs, and eyeing up the concrete blocks... The fun was cut short when the big callus on the palm of my right hand ripped off. Guess I just have to be patient and wait for my hands to toughen up! Was a great couple of hours riding (bit sore now though!), still hope to get back out tomorrow.
Hopefully will be picking up some good tips from all you experienced riders, I need a lot of help! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Steve.

7.9/8 kg
not sure on the carbon forks, had a few people ride it and say theyve felt these be far worse, but if anyone has some alloys, hit me up.
its stupidly light
