  1. Shit...now I'm scared of that too! :-
  2. 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.
  3. 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. :-
  4. 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......... :)
  5. 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 :)
  6. Another quick search has me worried :blink: I hope its not the first one with maggies!
  7. 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
  8. I was after a set that you can wear under jeans, looks like the veggies will be perfect. Thanks for taking the time guys! :(
  9. Cheers Biff! Gonna take a look at mine tomorrow, see if I can make them work better. :( Great tips.
  10. 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)
  11. Nothing really to add sorry but it sounds like a great idea! Can't wait (Y)
  12. 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!
  13. 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:
  14. I never really get to Everton much! Me and my pal usually ride Otterspool>Liverpool Docks>Tithebarn Street>Mersey Tunnel Entrance>Liverpool Museum>London Road etc!! Then I crawl home, totally knackerd....phew` Thursdays! (or is that, we wish we could ride?) :shifty: Towns full of stuff though.........have fun! (Y)
  15. 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:
  16. Yep its me! :shifty: Thought I'd bump into you sooner or later! See you around town if the weather improves?
  17. Or chavs.....and I,m from Liverpool! Cool stuff in town and the docks, keep your eyes peeled after dark though! :shifty:
  18. 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!
  19. I'z been playing the extra tracks for a while now..............GOODBYE LIFE! I asume you all know what I'm going through? (Y)
  20. Cheers Trials Dave.......I'm in heaven (Y)
  21. It is great on the back wheel (Y) Thanks for the advice, well helpfull! Cheers
  22. 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`)
  23. 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?
  24. 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)
