  1. I'm against the trials scene getting as big as say bmx or mtb. I think I can say that every trials rider i've met has been a sound, down to earth person. Even the pros such as Ashton.

    However, hanging around with my bmx mates, I've found a lot of the bmx riders can get quite 'up themselves.' I'm not saying that this is the case for all of them nor is it just in the bmx scene, It's just the bigger a sport gets the more 'tards become involved.

  2. I think the point is that if you're a smooth and light rider, then the more high performance frames will be justifiable.

    If you're a basher however then you'll struggle to find an 'indestructable' frame.

  3. Seems like a good Idea to me.

    Others being able to post to this thread will definitely help, because some new riders seem to think that they'll learn trials over night and if they don't they'll give up pretty easy. Maybe this thread will help them realize their progression over time.

  4. I'm still rocking the old type urbans on my Zenith.

    They do flex but it's been a few years and the haven't snapped. They've even been used on my dj bike for bout 6months with no signs of weakness.

    I wouldn't worry about it, I personally like a bit of flex in my forks.

  5. It's exactly what it says on the tin.

    The frame flexes whenever you do anything on it. most of the time you will never notice because its such a small amount.

    but on the lighter frames with thinner tubing it does become apparent especially when braking or pedaling hard.

  6. Well I'm 6ft 5 and I've ridden both

    Height has nothing to do with it. I find it all comes down to how you like to ride your bike.

    I preferred the characteristics of a stock in the end so i stuck with it (bigger wheels, easier rolling etc)

  7. That was easily one of the best episodes of Top Gear ever.

    I do like the ones where they're pratting about, but episodes like tonights really sets out what cars are all about. I mean a car that (a very rich) Joe Public can buy doing 267mph!!

    and that Ayrton Senna tribute was amazing. He's always been my No1 driver of all time and it was actually quite emotional to watch.

  8. I rode a T-Pro for a while and I'm 6'5", I had no problems with it.

    If it feels uncomfortable then maybe a longer frame is for you, but as already said there's no fixed rules, it's just down to preference.
