:S tryed
I am looking for somthing just a teeny weeny more specific :P
edit: Cheers trialsboy, I found that earlier, but I looked for ages for ones that I liked the look of, but then my eyes started to hurt, so I stopped. I will have another look.

I have been searching google for hours now trying to find somwhere that sells model kits but without any luck.
I am after either motorbikes (I would love a crosser or trials one if they exist?) or racing cars, the bigger the better, I just want somthing to build and possibly paint because I need somthing to do!
so if anyone knows any shops that do these kind of things, can you let me know please.
Ta (a very bored) Al

too late

oh my god!!!!!! koxx have stolen my frame design!!!!1111!!11
I must have done that design over a year ago, Tarty tryed to build it in CAD but then decided it wouldnt work too well as the bb shell would fall off.
Oh, and the site is crap, I went on once and I wont be going on again :o

what were the results from last years outdoor champs? there was no coverage about it whatso ever!

VERY good riding! I had only started riding at 15 and I still cant do stuff like that at 20 :-
top stuff (Y)

mine is currently sitting in pieces after the left tab snapped off (the bit the fork sits on), its proving to be a royal pain in the ass to get a new part.
I dont blame it for breaking though, it happened when my forks snapped at the disk mount and flexed forward, not many hubs could withstand that.
I am sure mine cost me more like £20?

wide bars
Pro:
good controle
opens up your chest, so can breath more air (dubious)
Con:
wider bars make you tired quicker (try doing press ups with your arms far apart)
can possibly snap easier
heavier
cant fit through tight areas
Narrow(er) bars
Pro:
ergonomic (to get a starter measurment, do a press up in the most comfortable position and measure how far apart your hand are)
lighter
less likley to snap
can fit in narrow areas
Con:
not as much controle
chest is more closed, so less air (again dubious)
I have found a happy comprimise at 27.5"

yes I do ride on my own most of the time (weekdays), I am building it because there is sod all to ride without being able to drive anywhere.
-
I am in the middle of building a trials course, I have collected 35 pallets, a 20ft long telegraph pole and some over wooden things I found in the basement.
I am hopfully going to get lots more pallets, railway sleapers, wooden moulds, cable reels, fence posts etc etc.
I am gonna be having them in my field which is on a slope, so its gonna take ages to get it all sorted out, but then I will have uphill and downhill runups at things which is good practise.
-
Heres mine, dont know what it is (If you know please tell me).
I swapped it for a bike a couple of years ago. I am wanting to get a new one now.

that guy (Dan) is a good friend of mine.
he doesnt have a computer so he cant send you an email.
You could try to phone him on <number removed>, or I will ask him to come to my house and he can email you via my computer.
let me know

Rims:
sun Double wide
alex dx32
(those would be my first choice)
Tyres:
kenda super tacky (front and back)
people always miss out these items

I thought both vids were good.
I chose Nicks because I preffered his riding style, that balance on those rails is awsome! And he seems to air well on natural as well.
I isn't too keen on the bmxy trials that Matt does, not my cup of tea.
-
I may as well answer it:
he runs a orange stem (came off my patriot) I think it is around the 70-80mm x10 or 15 degree (stiil hasnt payed me for it :S )
he runs roox torque bars
now get that pure frame and ride! (N)

I havnt used a 521 since last year, but recently I had to use one in a comp, all I can say is, the amount of tyre fold I got was ridiculous, it made me fall off in atleast 4 sections.
I also found my bmf rim stiffer than a 521 (maybe this was down to wheel build?).
I will NEVER go back to a 521, I think they are waaaaaaaay to narrow for natural.
If you ride street then I think they will be fine, but if you do comps or natural riding, go for a wider rim.
PS good luck in finding ready built wheels, I aint seen any for a while
Model Kits

I "specificly" want some addys, or just names even of some decent model shops, not just the ones that do the die-cast £5 jobbies and already built models.
edit again:
thats more like it, they look the part! Good job trialsboy560 :S
