got an email from the owner of a fairly well known bike company asking me to be on their enduro team. I couldn't accept (I'm rubbish at riding up hill) but they seem keen on sorting me out a bike anyway! Pretty happy!
just been out teaching a track rider to trackstand and my friend came out with his camera and got a couple of snaps, I'm pretty happy with some of these moves as they are the first times I've done them since injuring myself last year.

it's open to any type of trials (although brakeless would probably be very limited). From my point of view I'd like someone who bunnyhops so we can have a proper hop comp but I'm not going to cry (too much) if we end up with someone who has to sidehop it .
You don't need to be at a super pro riding level BTW, as long as you're comfortable with drops and heights you should be fine. We have a ladder on the rig that goes up to 10ft so if you think you could ride up that then that would be a bonus.
What I'm saying is that you should probably enter anyway.....you never know.
yes I do, if the bars are in the same place reletive to the front axle then it doesn't matter what length the stem and how steep the steerer tube is the bike will still endo and backhop the same but a longer toptupe, steeper head angle and shorter stem would turn and pivot better.
I was hoping it was have a lower bb and not a chopper-esc headtube angle.
Have you seen the size of the mounts needed? Really ugly!! Also with most trials brands quality being questionable I doubt they'd be perfectly flat and it's another thread to strip + add costs to manufacture
24" will be closer to your MTBs than a 20" would plus there's a bit more choice. 24" is an excellent choice for riding around a city, doing jump and trials, they are great combination of BMX, Trials and MTB.
