I guess with the 3rd bad experience in bike shops you realize that in biketrials... we're on our own.

Unfortunately, yes. I'll take everyone's advice from this and just do it myself from now on I suppose...

[How do you people ride with jeans?]

I think NEXT do a pair of jeans with a fair bit of elastic, never had jeans do that before, normally I just shred the knee's from OTB's

The time it takes you to carry the rim or any part to a shop and then wait for them to service it, and THEN to go back for it, just do repeat the process 3 more times because they did it all wrong is ridiculous, you can fix pretty much anything with basic tools and a youtube video in 1/10th the time. Especially in trials. 

1. I work right next to the bike shop, so carrying it to the shop really isn't an effort. 

2. At the time, I didn't think I'd be able to straighten this wheel as the buckle was pretty bad and it would take a lot of time, hence taking it to the bike shop in the first place.

3. I'm not going to simply give up and take it home after paying for the job I originally requested, therefore I was happy to leave it there for a few more days. 

4. TIME wasn't the primary factor in this, it was quality, again, hence taking it to the bike shop. (little did I know the quality wouldn't be as good as I had hoped)

How much did you pay for that to be done, out of interest?

It took the bike shop around 45 minutes which equated out as around £16.

Everyone starts off having no clue but everything especially in our sport is easy to service and keep up to when you know how to do it and most of the time (especially truing a wheel) it doesn't take up any time at all. You could have had it sorted yourself by the time you'd been and booked it into the bike shop

If I had known it would take that long I would have just found the time and done it myself

Come on, we've all got full time jobs, except the kids! Straightening

a wheel is a ten minute job!

That's not really the point, if I book my wheel in, regardless of how long it may take (FYI, it does not take 10 minutes, I'm no where near the speed of a mechanic), I expect it back with the job done properly.

[Kenny belaey "balance"]

With the exception of the obvious copied camera angles from the ridge, the lines that only lasted about two seconds, the awkward "180 thrown in just because we can", the off balance ratio of riding:scenery shots and the dramatic music for quite a non-dramatic video, I still didn't like it. However, I don't have anything against Kenny's riding ability as such, it's just the way he portrays his ideas.

[Get your shit together Chris!]

Unrivalled creativity

[Occupying time.]

Go climbing dude, indoor or out, (doesn't really matter), but has the same sort of feeling while you're doing it, plus its physically demanding so you won't be full of energy a few hours after.

[This Video Is Mainly Outtakes]

[A Smooth Line]

Smoothest 360 we could both pull off over the hip. Surprisingly this only took one attempt

[Many Brakeless Things w/ Herbert-Lemon]

That bail at the end was nasty.

Let me know when you're next riding Birmingham town and I'll come for a pedal with you

sounds good man

[Many Brakeless Things w/ Herbert-Lemon]

Day of brakeless-ness in Birmingham. Got a bit lost in the ghetto trying to find spots but eventually made it back. Nothing massively special as we didn't film most things, just a selection of clips through the day

[Flat 360 bunnyhop]

Man, I love that video. One of the first ones that made me want to ride brakeless...

[midland! Street riders. Hook up!]

I live in the west midlands, could meet anywhere within an hour or so!

[Trials on Trails?]

I do all the time, go out on a small xc loop on the Inspired, find a fallen tree or slope, play around on it for a bit and then carry on, great fun.

[gloves/grips]

Endura Singletrack, awesome things, and the only gloves to have ever lasted me more than a year.

[Infinity Street Shows - Ride The Moutains]

Those kids literally shit themselves when John 180 tyre-tapped off the steps

[The Little Wheels Thread]

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet, but by far my favourite bmx edit, 90% down the the riding, 10% down to the song...

[Aurelien Fontenoy - Puy Du Fou]

Its got that really annoying filming style where its quite obvious the cameraman has never filmed biking before. For example, skipping from one part to another during the fence ride thing about a minute in

[Post A Video Of Todays Riding]

Since the two rules of this thread have pretty much gone out the window, I'll post my days riding despite it not complying with either one

[Alex dark - 24 : 1]

loving the bliss n eso

[The Hallstatt Wind Down - Fabio Wibmer 2015]

Got bored, all his riding was good but too spaced apart

[Road bike freestyle]

Skills were pretty amazing, I think people forget how hard it actually is to ride a road bike over roots let alone what he's doing here. Having said that, those correctional hops while rolling backwards at the beginning were atrocious

[Home Trials Set-Ups]

As in the title, it'd be cool to see pictures of anyone's home trials set-ups! I'm looking to rearrange my small pallet section in some way but need a bit of inspiration!
