  1. Aww man that was great! Wasn't too promising at the beginning, but when the street stuff came in I was truly amazed! Loads of flow in those moves
  2. Brilliant, could have been longer though
  3. That's nice Tryall tyres would work better thought, they make every bike look about 49,3% better. And I agree DD looks better than the standard setup, makes the bike neater. Kinda why in my opinion, frames with inverted Magura mounts look better.
  4. 9 pallets actually, that's not impressive nowadays. This topic is going to turn into a row.
  5. You sure? I'd say it's a 207 X-Lite. And yeah, definitely wrong about the ~10 yr old thing, confused it with the deep blue 221 X-Lites from the late 90's.
  6. Um nothing really. Only ride when I've got nothing better to do. Thanks to this parts don't brake down and I don't have to replace them = more money for other activities. In the past I'd rather go out riding than meet up with my gf, but no longer is that the case.
  7. I know this isn't constructive and doesn't answer your question, but the problem with young drivers is that they think they are really good drivers. That's exactly why young people have so many accidents - if they accepted they have no idea how to control a car, they wouldn't get into situations which require those skills. Don't mean to offend you, that's entirely normal at our age You've learned it the hard way and are richer for the experience. So when you've gotten yourself a new car, sign up for some lessons on a skid pad - you'll have lots of fun and realize how much skill you're lacking (unfortunately a few lessons is too little to learn how to control a car properly). I took a few lessons on a skid pad, didn't learn anything but realized that if I got into a dodgy situation on the road, it wouldn't be as easy to control a car as I thought. Such "wisdom" can save lives
  8. That is seriously nice! Really nice colour scheme too

    Well, it's not a freehub so they aren't really comparable.

    I really liked that. Not a typical mod video, your riding looks quite effortless which is a winner in my books. Nice spins too

    They're apparently really good and allow for a very strong wheelbuild.
  12. Pretty hefty for an Ozonys Like the design though, nice and simple. Geometry sounds great too though I much prefer the idea of a 72.5 head tube.
  13. Trials-Forum Video -> Full View • Download • Upload One of my all time favorite riders, former Zoo team rider Michael is back! A few months after quitting due to back problems, he's got his hands on a very old Monty. So this is how he rides a ~10 year old bike after a few months break
  14. Exactly! I'd try selling it for 500 though, it's pretty well specced.
  15. Adamant A1 06 - 128mm, Tensile UL 170mm - serious magura clearance issues with 47mm rim (cranks require grinding) - 128mm, Echo Forged 170mm - no issues - 124mm, Monty 221Ti - no issues GU 2006 Mod -118mm, Tensile UL 170mm - no issues Zoo Python 05 -128mm - too wide, chainline issues with Profile hub -118mm, Zoo CNC, Tensile UL - no issues Monty 221Ti -128mm, Tensile UL - no issues with clearance or chainline Triton (any model) -128mm, Tensile UL - minimum width to avoid chainstay yoke and crank clearance issues -128mm, Echo Forged 160mm - no issues Echo Pure 04 -124mm, Burns - no issues -128mm, Tensiles - no issues
  16. That was one of the best vids I've seen in ages. Brilliant editing and as for the riding, that guy is just amazing. All mod riders should see this video and take an example from Pablo's riding. Truly amazing.
  17. Right. Did a short search but not all my questions have been answered. Considering getting a Vee on the rear since my Dengura started leaking and Maguras are appalling. Got some questions about vees: a) I'll probably be best off with an Avid Ultimate setup but what cable to use and how will I benefit from using an expensive and good cable, comparing to a cheap one? If there are no issues with Magura clearance, can I expect to have some with Vees? c) I want my brake to have a kinda "honk" sound and be very loud, with lots of bite - is that possible? All the setups I've come across were really silent. Will be using Coustvees. d) Do the arms get in the way / stick out more than Dengura slaves? e) Anything else I should know? That's all I guess, thanks
  18. As for the bunnyhop record, I'm absolutely sure Marco Grosenik did way over 46" over an obstacle in one of his old vids. Hooks - Neil uses kickers for the big ones, that doesn't count. Same applies to TRA and his taps. Such riders know exactly how to use a tiny rock or unevenness to their advantage, so unless the wall is vertical and nothing is sticking out of it, and the runup is horizontal and smooth, I'm not going to believe someone can officially set a world record. Highest one I've seen was Vince doing 147cm in one of the AndyT movies.
  19. Yeah, and it's apparently crap. The price is not that bad, I've seen these retail for 1200 in other shops. It's still overpriced but that's about the most special production frame money can buy.
  20. I don't quite understand this apple hype. They're dreadfully expensive in relation to performance, and all they do is look good. Don't want to provoke an argument, but if I decided to buy a Mac with the same performance as my current laptop, I'd have to spend at least 2x more. Is it really two times better than a normal laptop built on the same components? Edit: to be fair, 2k for the Air is not a bad price. It's about as much as the top portable Toshiba model which as I remember doesn't have such a good spec. Talking generally.
  21. Out of the affordable cars, definitely the '04 Honda Civic Type-R Out of the less affordable ones, an Evo X or the new M5 touring.
  22. I don't believe these are genuine. Even if they were taken from Christian chatrooms, half of the authors are no doubt 18 year olds who are simply making fun of religious fanatics.
  23. The music ruined everything, sorry

    More Tra Video!

    Now that is impressive. It just shows how little the riding depends on the bike itself. I'd love to see some action on a lightweight full suspension bike

    New Tra Hd Video

    I know this question has been asked a million times before, but will you ever compete? It would be great to see how you perform against riders with less power and similar technique, but with bags of experience.
