  1. Right, so I've been in this trials game for a while now and when myself and others of my vintage were young we had f**k all to teach us how to do stuff. No trials forum, no youtube, no vimeo.

    What we learnt from was trials VHS (big, square DVDs to you real younguns) vids such as Evolve, Revolution, Chainspotting and mainly from Tricks and Stunts - Martyn Ashton, Martin Hawyes and Hans Rey's best vid ever made of all time. You might think its old skool, but all of it applies to YOUR riding. We all learnt to balance on 2 wheels before we even thought about getting on the back wheel. You'll notice alot of youngr riders having poor balance on 2 wheels, because they started to run before they could walk.

    Anyways, Go to your local Halfords, borrow a mates, try and find it on the internet, but MAKE SURE you watch Tricks and Stunts by the Martyins a few times. Good to do in the evenings now its dark.

    Once you get those techniques down, move onto The Art Of Bi-King - Tricks and Stunts 2. This is a bit more advanced and slightly more up to date.

    I don 't wanna sound like a complete p rick but straight up 100% if you watch these and practise what you see, you will most definately become a better rider.

    Fantastic Shout!

  2. Hi guys just wondered if there were anymore riders that live in Oxford (or very near by). Getting extremely sick of not being able to ride in the evenings-not a massive fan of riding on my own!

    Come on there must be someone out there!!!!

    Cheers

  3. Ive had my slate for a few months now and there is no doubt about it that it is pure love. Rides so so well, but I do have to agree the downtubes are incredibly weak. I hit a wall the other night fairly hard but nothing major and its left me with one beaut of a dent!

    But then it is a comp frame so what do you expect.....? Bloody glad i got mine secondhand!
