  1. It's pretty good round the Castle, Probably not suppose to ride there but nobodys told me yet.
  2. Most Moto Trials vids have a copyright on them because there pro done. If you want to purchase some have a look here, DUKE VIDEO The Steve Colley vids are mint.

    Trials?

    It's got to be natural, obviously.
  4. Best thing we use for cleaning brake componets is thinners, it totally degrease's & then evaporates to dry on its own. But make sure you do it outside or it will be,
  5. I have just switched from motorcycle trials to concentrate on biketrials but still have a Sherco 125 05 model. I still love Motorbikes but do not have the time for both, i am keeping my Sherco to enter the odd comp.
  6. I will definetaly be up for that ! (60 miles for me)
  7. Tidy site mate, Will speak to you soon about some practicing(perhaps in yorkshire) Cheer's Sam.
  8. Good choice, i use them & they feel spot on.
  9. Me & my brother Tom are definetaly coming, See you there.
  10. I have hope braided on both my bikes & had no trouble at all.
  11. Oakworth Quarry (Keighley) On as far as i know, it's on Biketrial website.
  12. Quote deezee Like you said, its a proper endurance thing picking a line out across some rocks. A real challenge to a riders ability, not just to do one or two tricks, but to actually link all the moves together, for more than 10 secs.

    New Vid Of Me

    Nice video Joe, you lucky lad
  14. I think it is what you are use to. For example if you have only had v brakes on the worst rims possible your not going to miss anything, i started on a Da bomb & learnt loads. Then it was hs33's now it's Hope disk's. Obviously if i went back to my old v brakes i would end up on my arse. I would agree that with new designs & performance in braking Trials can only get better.
  15. How old are you? 33" is very good if you have only been riding a year.
  16. I did motorcycle trials from the age of 6, my Dad bought me a old Monty to practice my balance & stuff on & it went from there. I rode motorbikes at national level & took it quite serious but to be in the top 3 in the country you have to be on your bike every night for like 4 hrs & were we live that was not possible. So i switched to biketrials which makes sense because when i am not sleeping i am on my bike. (except on here)
  17. I agree, works fine for me, i have just finished my first vid so will upload soon. Keep it basic then it is easy.
  18. Im putting together a vid of mostly natural sections etc some of which we shot at Shipley Glen last weekend. "keep a look out"
  19. Why are you asking that, have you broken one?
  20. Seem to remember the Monty bag being around £160 but dont quote me on that.
  21. Mum & Dad give me everything i want because i am a spoilt brat,
  22. Have you ever rode natural ? no two rocks are the same like bricks !
  23. To me Trials is all about competing & riding sections so it would have to be natural mainly. I agree that street looks pretty good & you dont get your bike dirty but it's just for pussy's. (only joking) but people have there preferences & this is mine. For example, A pile of natural rocks: there is so many lines & ways to ride. A brick wall : up & down.
  24. I am probably one of the biggest Monty fans around but have to disagree on this one, my Monty shoes have been poor as in quality they are the latest style & cost nearly £90 the stitching has all come loose and the soles are worn very quickly. My brothers Tryall are £30 cheaper & better quality.
