Shit...now I'm scared of that too! :-
-
Before I could pedal kick I would be thinking about it so much that I started dreaming about it. :) I'd be hopping around everyware in this dream! Then I'd wake up with the memory/feeling and try it out! After a bowl of Frosties obviously :- It helped loads!! Ah the great subconsious :- But er` no......I don't think I was in control while asleep, sorry! Although I do have the same 5 or 6 dreams repeated, you`d think I'd click on by now! H`mm.

Big Dropoffs! (size remains secret!) Roll to the edge, crank it up, hold your nerve and get the teqnique right...I am scared off heights though. :) That and finally having to remove a bald Maxxis tyre from my rear hog rim (6 levers broken!) Oh` and never getting validated. :-
-
Will do :)
-
Yeah, sorry man but if its the 2nd one I'm defo buying it! :- No info yet as he aint pickin up his phone! If I don't dig the bike I will post back some info to see if anyone wants it. (if a non-memb can do that?) Thanks again......... :)
-
OK, if it is the old school one and as long as its not falling apart, I think I'll buy it! Thanks for the advise guys :)

Another quick search has me worried :blink: I hope its not the first one with maggies!

Hi, I'm looking for a little help/advice on a mod bike I have been offered for £100. (Price my friend in LBS said he'd get for it) `Monty Team T219`/maggies F + R/ 20"F - 19"R. Described as, `been siting in the shed for a while`! I ride a T-rex and would love a cheap little mod to have fun on. Has anyone rode one or got any info on this bike please as I don't really know much about mods.....except the size !! I have just been to the Monty site and can't quite work out which one it may be, although I'm asuming its an 04/05 model......and what the`T` stands for I don't know? ( the paint jobs look horrid though!! :blink: ) Any info would be appreciated, but for £100 this has got to be a good deal right? Thanx -C

I was after a set that you can wear under jeans, looks like the veggies will be perfect. Thanks for taking the time guys! :(
-
Cheers Biff! Gonna take a look at mine tomorrow, see if I can make them work better. :( Great tips.

This week while trying `rockwalks`, I decided to knee my stem leaving me to hobble about for three days in pain (Y), and then today while trackstanding in my house, BOOM, pedal spin to tears! I think I'd rarther get kicked in the nads than let this happen again, so what KNEE/shin pads, or combo do you recommend for trials. They must be: comfortable, non-restricting, easy to put on etc. I tried some dainese knee/shin pads....NOT THESE...felt like sandpaper and slipped constantly. Any advise?? (Y)

New Online Street Trials Magazine - Input Wanted
Concussion replied to flange's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
Nothing really to add sorry but it sounds like a great idea! Can't wait (Y) -
Small hands? ..............You should check the `Try-All` Foam or Rubber grips from Tarty Bikes. 27mm diameter - £7 a pop!! SWEET! http://tartybikes.co.uk/products.php?product=grips I bought a set of each last week! Foam Grips - Comfy, very thin, never slip or twist on the bar, soft foam ensures a full/tight grip, lacking in that `taccy` feel of rubber though! :P :- Rubber Grips - Basic thin rubber `taccy` feel grip! Still great! :lol: Now where can I find some Toxin grips?? They look good to!

My favorite band is `JANE'S ADDICTION`. Original lineup mind! (Y) Also like/played today: Sigur Ros / Gomez / John Martyn / Kasabian / Ramones / Pink Floyd to name a few ......and on, and on! :shifty:

Great Spots In Liverpool For Trials?
Concussion replied to smurftrial's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
Urm` I dunno, I just ride to town and see what I can find, although I'm still a beginer so I'm more into carpark/kerb practise! Where's your 2 great spots then? :shifty: -
Yep its me! :shifty: Thought I'd bump into you sooner or later! See you around town if the weather improves?
-
Or chavs.....and I,m from Liverpool! Cool stuff in town and the docks, keep your eyes peeled after dark though! :shifty:
-
Looks like another day playing this game as I have just smashed my knee against my stem ending todays practice early! (I screamed like a girl! (Y) ) Dam, been raining for days aswell! :shifty: Oh well, Monday, Monday, Monday...or whatever that guy says!
-

Cheers Trials Dave.......I'm in heaven (Y)

I found this free Trial Bike game last month on Download.com. Lots of fun, great game engine, gives a really good feel to the bike. Pretty basic 2d `Junior Kickstart` type thing! Its FREE, but I urge you to buy the extra 5 ish levels! I got a 0 in an hour but can't stop playing it. Oh and it actually helped me understand shifting my weight around on my Onza! Try it (Y) http://www.download.com/Trial-Bike-Basic/3...68.html?tag=pop (I'm a noob?.....Hope this isn't er.....`un-wanted`)

Thanks guys, I wasn't trying to moan about the comp style set-up, although after a ride to town and back my hands are stinging. I love my bike though and appreciate what its doing for my progresion! (Y) Maybe the bunny hop teqnique is more `egsadurated` (spell check broke) on a trials bike? I am takling about a rolling `american` style bunnyhop?? Maybe to a stall? (Y) I will stick with it for a while before laying down any cash. When I said sidehop I meant sideDROP....sorry! Sitting here now it seems easy in my head.....ah forget that move, 90 degre drop off instead! Thanks again, anyone got any more tips on bunnyhops (although I can do them on a dirt bike (Y) )...feel free to post! Cheers! Oh and in the future what frame/geometry should I be looking for? I don't really know what geo the T-rex is? Based my purchase of bike on parts/looks/Respectible Company! I bumped into a friend riding a Pashley??, I remember it feeling `compact`.....whats out there?

I think you need to pull up more than pushing out, its such a fine line! And stick your arse out as much as possible to keep it on the back I think you will get it, looking good! The end of that vid is class! Good Luck :turned: (sorry about the shin)
