I HEARD MISTA WONG IS NOW SPONSORED BY WHERESTHESEAT.COM!! you can email him at wong@wherestheseat.com

echo tr

i think mista wong rides this bike better

hmm maybe ill make this into a series

wow that is a proper good tutorial. just what i needed to work on. thanks mista wong!

Wow this thread is old. I ran 18-15 with 170mm cranks on that bike and had no issues with the tensioner. It always worked perfectly for me. The rear wheel on this bike never failed me. I did change my rims to silver rockrims, but it was for aesthetics. I've been riding a slate 2 for a while, but I just received a new Kortz2 with the 70.5 headangle. I'll post pictures when it's finished.

I don't think you understand how difficult and dangerous it is to ride this bike....

That's what we make these videos for!

my ghost ride wasn't big enough?

"Chris and Kevin give us a sneak peak on this fantastic new prototype. Make sure you watch the video all the way to the end as Kevin explores the potential of this machine around some rough terrain in Richmond."

the next one will be the last one for the 2010 season. We're planning on making it a long one

I was getting really tired of filming urban riding to be honest. It's too difficult to make the episodes different from each other when all the moves are so similar.

Yea jeff was crazy. he could have gotten really hurt! that fallen try was a lot of fun to ride, but the branch was flexing a lot more than i was comfortable with

I got together with Jeff just before UCI worlds to film his segment in this episode. It was his first ride on his new Kortz 2, and he is really enjoying it. Hopefully the bike can keep up with him in Quebec! Those of you who have been riding long enough may remember Brian Hong and his old website, BrianHong.com (2000-2003). Brian organized countless group rides through out British Columbia, and was a big influence to the evolution of the sport locally. Brian left the trials scene in Vancouver in 2004 to pursue a new life in Japan, where he met his wife. After BrianHong.com shut down, he started a new website called Biketrials-Japan.com. Through this new website, he continued to spread his influence in a new continent.

I don't think Jeff checks the thread, but the river section is in lynn valley. That would be in North Vancouver.

I forgot my front wheel at home today, so I ended up just taking photos. I'm pretty happy with these shots today. Big thanks to Chris for helping me place and hold the flashes. Chris dropping after a hook Jeff makes this sidehop to rear wheel look easy Chris dropping off Anthony with a touch hop to rear wheel Anthony decided to challenge the higher side of the rock He is starting to show some advanced technique after only 3 months of riding Jeff hanging out on a tree I've always wondered if Jeff could up this wall. Turns out he could I thought he was joking when he told me he was going to try this sidehop This was the best shot of then ride in my opinion. Big thanks to Chris for placing and holding the flashes

it certainly rides nice. i'm curious to see how long the frame will last him

Don't know why ep7 didn't embed correctly. Let's have another try! Episode 7 : This episode features Jeff's new Watermelon Meta VTT2. The frame has been lightened from 1900g to 1600g. This was done by grinding the tubes thinner, and removing the disc tab. The cutout on the headtube was also enlarged. The idea first spawned when we had a customer return his VTT2 due to paint defects. We wanted to see if it was possible to lighten a bike without spending any extra money. By the time Jeff finished grinding, the frame was hideous. Chris then suggested that the frame be painted like a watermelon, an idea that was inspired by a flamboyant limousine we saw earlier in the day. Jeff has had a dozen rides on the frame now, and it is still holding up fine (Jeff is rather harsh on frames). It will be interesting to see how the bike holds up for Whistler Trials Works in two weeks.

Episodes 5 and 6 have been on richmondtrials.com for a while now. I forgot to post them here. I've also just finished episode 7. Enjoy! Episode 5 : This episode is longer than the previous ones at 20 minutes. Featuring Jeff Anderson, Chris Hii, Kevin Liu and Ross Winsor (his name did not render in the video). The last two segments were filmed in Seattle, Washington. Episode 6 : It's been 4 episodes since Canadian Champion John Webster has been featured. I took a ferry to Nanaimo to deliver John's brand new Kortz 2 frame, and spent the day filming some of the most amazing riding (I'm referring to both John's ability and the terrain) I have ever seen in person.
