  1. I wouldnt get Vp's they are really weak, the bolts(that hold the cage to the main part) come out all the time and if you fall on em the cage bends and the teeth flatten off till theres no point on em and mine are scary slipperyand i dont even bother trying anything hard if its even sligthly damp cos the Vp's are like ice skating. Apart from the weight v8s are all good though
  2. What where your mates doing? just watching? i would have gone at em like a god damn,i dont know actually but something really big and fast
  3. Yeah like 2 or 3 people said vertical what? did you miss High School! remember horizontal is flat vertical is straight up Too Drop off keep your weight low to your bike and right back, lower your front till your horizontal and pedal kick, your back wheel should hit the floor with your bike vertical and your body positioning should stop your front wheel from slapping down if it doesnt work your not doing it right but youll get it. i mean if i did any retard with a releigh can.
  4. yeah ive thought about that too lol. but my main fear is going for a drop lowering the front wheel to get horizontal then tryin to pedal and nothing happeningthen faceplanting concrete from a huge drop and gapping or drop gapping and my wheel slipping happened last sunday and i nearly got knocked out. i went drowsy all the colour went from my sight so everything was white and my hearing went for bout 10 mins and i walked with a limp for a week and my arse killed for ages aswell, NASTY
  5. harsh man remember CLS is extremely impressive especially if you havent seen him before, personally llandudno_trialsboy i advise you to check out Daemon Watson tarty bikes rider
  6. handlebar height jesus thats high im about a foot behind that im only just over the front wheel
  7. What do you think oh by the way i doubt youll get many replies cos everyones heard it before
  8. Oh yeah sweet bike, LOL its the next CLS Cheer for the ladies yeah, they like james blunt but i dont care cos they have a c*nt and they ride trials yeah,
  9. not being funny but the best place for a saracen is a waste dump although pink is pretty sexy
  10. you seem to be doing alot of maintenance. good on you!
  11. Maxxis Highrollers i havent got em but most of the riders in hull seem to and there ment to be virtually impossible to puncture
  12. i think that happened to me (not clear by your description) but i just levered it out. if theres a gap at the side then perfect you know what to do, if there isnt then stick something down the middle and try an get some leveridge. GOOD LUCK MAN
  13. how about asking riders that you interview to do a how to section one trick per rider also ask em how there bikes ride, cos i always wonder what they think of there bike.
  14. i often think i wish there where some hot stock riders around here but it never comes true. so anyone with a hot babe sister get em riding
  15. the thing i worry about most frequently on my bike is my wheels i have a ronnie rim setup by tarty bikes and it stil has only lasted a few months im gonna have to learn how to straighten my wheels, oh by tthe way are there any special tools il need.
  16. i dont know about you guys but i can sit on the seat on my t-raptor but only when im freewheeling
  17. Its all good saying ask someone or look at someone when you go out but in my area(cottingham) there arent any really good riders so basically where all figuring it out ourselves. but i can almost do it now anyway. i can get on a wall thats about a inch over my front wheel its just im too vertical and i fall back. putting my bike into a shop today so hopefully at the weekend il have ago at throwing my weight forward as i go up it.
  18. I might sound dumb but what is a front freewheel?
  19. hi, At the moment im trying to learn how to tap stuff so i can start getting up the really big stuff, but im unsure of the technique. All ive been doing is what i used to to get on to stuff with my backwheel i.e start with bad foot forward half rotation until your good foot comes round and jumping onto the top of the obstacle sucking legs in and extending arms, except ive just been hitting my wheel on top of the obstacle first. Is there anything anyone could tell me to make my long journey of learning any shorter? Thx for any advice
  20. i saw a zona in action the other day and it looked pretty nice and the kid on it was riding really well on it so id go for that
  21. i already did want the tensile ones my point was which should i choose because both tensiles are the same price but one is quite alot lighter
  22. thx for the advice guys even if you did go off the point slightly.
  23. does anyone know what the difference between these two cranksets? because there the same price but one is quite alot lighter Tensile UCI Crankset http://tartybikes.co.uk/image.php?image=te...pairmidbash.jpg Tensile Crankset with Bashguard http://tartybikes.co.uk/image.php?image=tensilesteelbash.jpg
  24. hi, i ride a onza t-raptor and i think its a great bike for an begginer to intermediate. but an advanced rider would probably want something stronger and longer for the big stuff
  25. im confused about the technique from your back wheel do you jump to your front, both or your back wheel(slightly) because i can do it all ways but whcich should i develop
