You used to be able to get observed trials magazine on subscription from the states. Not sure if thats still the case?

Ive not seen it. Last video i bought with ryan leech in was contact i think B)

The videos are still good but they are doing showy moves that impress easily. Not that the moves are easy mind but people have seen it now and want something more!! Question is, what do they do next? How much more can be physically possible? :ermm:

I like the frame and the colour!! Im just not a fan of steel frames

You cant go wrong for cheap seconds if you look around ebay

Think your hope hub was the hope xc

Dude go for the onza hog rim with a hope hub. I want a hog rim so will cry if you get it 1st!!! Failing that the 521 has stayed strong for ages

Bit of a silly rule really these days. The biketrials rules need an update

Got me a pair of these coming tomorrow (Y)

Im in the same boat too guys!!! Started riding trials back in '98 (!!) when i was 15, im now 23 and hadnt ridden for nearly 5 years! Anyways, got the pallets out one day when i was bored and had a muck about and found i could still do the moves and i enjoyed myself!! Ive now got right back into my riding and am awaiting a new frame with goodies to arrive asap!!! Get out and ride and enjoy the fresh air, safe in the knowledge that even a small up onto a wall is more than 99% of the general public could manage!!

Saw the DJ coverage on the news (Y) Couple of weeks and i should be up and hopping on me new bike

I think rails must be my fear, in any form.

Im new to this forum but ive not had any problems with members on here. Im a member on many forums to do with modified cars and if you think its bad here, try a car forum. Its warfare on many of them. Ive asked a question and had sensible answers in reply, one guy actually bothered to explain the pro's n con's of ifferent lengths of frame. Attitude comes across in the way things are typed on the net. Ask nicely and people will answer nicely.

LMAO (Y) The name sam wheeler rings a bell, im sure he started riding not long before i stopped. If its the same guy, he rode a big arse black kona back then

Mines a mis-match of colours! Ive got a red frame with yellow graphics, black forks, all black wheels n silver everything else lol

Well we ventured out for the first time in around 5 years. Forgot the fair was in town so that screwed it up a bit then these kids harrassed us for a while asking us to do a trick lol Felt good to be back out riding though (Y)

Yep thats a callous. Ive got them at the base of each finger, on my braking fingers and on that webbed bit by the thumb (that ones more from work though)

Having not ridden for ages ive got a couple of sore hands today after riding!! The blisters will go and eventually u end up calloused

Wahey (Y) How many ride trials in abingdon these days?

Im wondering if anyone remembers us (Y)

We started riding 8 years ago dude!! no one rode trials back then!!

What is your name?Pete Lawson Where are you from?Abingdon oxon What is your age?23 What are you in to?Well trials obviously, but im also into motor racing and cars etc. What bike do you have?Currently a heavy tools trials but am getting a zoo pitbull frame asap What kind of music do you like?At the moment people like kaiser chiefs etc but i must buy kanye wests new album Ive been out of trials for around 5 years so have got some catching up to do by the looks of it. Have caught the bug again though (Y)

I always found front taps realy hard on a short bike so thats a plus. Thanks for the help, think im going to spend a few quid (Y)

I had noticed newer frames were long and low. Is that geometry better in any way?

I was looking at echo frames and the zoo frames
