Yes it is entirely possible to ride that bike sitting down because i have done so. You sit down when your riding between riding spots or riding to the place where you are riding for that day. This is a bike that can actually be used for short journeys as well as trials

If he lowered the seat then there would be no point in having a seat.....it needs to be high enough to sit down on and pedal....I also know for a fact that this bike rides very very nicely and it's very nice to see a bike-shaped trials bike for once! Good boy Tom it's lush If he's just gone to all the trouble of specifying a custom frame with a seat tube, do you really think he's going to pretend its not there and not use it? It's on the frame for a reason!

I also love riding skate park on my trials bike! (Usually with Tommy d actually) and i did it on mod for a number of years... I'm afraid i can't give much constructive advice but i do know for a fact that creepy crawlers DO NOT work well in skateparks! It felt like i was riding on ice or something it was nasty.... The new echo tyres worked better but still weren't amazing and then i got a stock and my tyres now work fine hehe!

I was always under the impression that true old skool was before the time of real trials bikes, and back in the days when people did trials on front suspension mountain bikes? Granted there are different levels of old skool but still.....

Hmmmm alcohol is good, riding is good, but i'm not convinced the two should be mixed...

Ok so people that are riding tomorrow, still meet at 11?

Can't wait! Hope my knees sorted itself out by then...

Sounds good to me

Saturday in Ramsgate, its the only way

I'll be there as long as the weather holds off!

Nice vid, guess i'll post my attempt up too now a threads been made for it...

I had this problem about 6 months after i first started riding. But i stopped riding for about a month until all the pain went away and then it was fine again. I'm fairly sure you've probably just pulled some muscles in your back that are not normally used unless you ride trials.

I don't know about bb rise, i think my giant actually has a bb drop! Still feels fine for me to ride

It was rather strange.....i've had to order a complete hub from america to get another one of those stupid axels! Good job its seriousely reuced and only costs 11 quid!

Stupid strange quick releases.....

Yep i'll be there on my new and exciting steed!

awesome thanks i shall find it!

Wheres the place with all the blue walls, it looks awesome and i've not found it yet!?

I agree. I filmed the footage for my curb video today and ran out of ideas at about 2 mins footage anyway.

I should be there

Hi, me and a friend have just moved to Southampton University, so if anyone in the area feels like riding with us and showing us round, let me know please! Thanks

Ive just moved to southamton university with another friend who rides, any southampton ride sounds good to me!

Whenever i feel myself getting a bit fed up with the same old tricks, i just try and invent or come up with a few new more streety lines, say can i 360 over that object etc... Then i get really into it again and all is well with the world

Saturday would be good, i can probably get tom ali and jason e.t.c. out for that.
