  1. I still don't like the look of marco on a koxx. Still rides as smooth as ever though! I'm considering going to a biketrial event in germany solely to see him ride
  2. Fruit ninja. Applanet
  3. Amazing, but it almost hurts to watch them ride on the xlites, they look way too flicky Marco only started when he was 16, he must have progressed so fast!

    I remember him saying that he trained 6 hours a day and it wasn´t worth it. Seemed to me like he felt pushed to keep progressing in biketrials. Seems like he still rides once in a while outside of the comp scene, at least it seems as if he is enjoying himself here:
  5. For some reason the image you posted before the finished picture looked more realistic, less square computerish. Still unbelievable though!

    2010

    Was a pretty strange year. January till august was pretty dead, same old stuff every day: wake up - school - missus (ex)- sleep -> repeat. The missus had me in her grip, she was very jealous and I never saw my old (female) friends. Got a call from an unknown number one day, it was a girl. And she completly freaked. Had enough of it and broke up. Went on holiday for 3 days 2 weeks later and when I came back she had a new guy and was living there. (2 weeks after a 2 year relationship, wtf?!). Was quite devestated and went completely insane, being in panic and crying all day. Had some help from friends, who were there for me immediatly, even after not seeing or talking to them in 2 years. Few months later now, my life is completly different from 4 months ago. Doing lots of trials and socialising with people, a turn for the best! Still feel sad about the ex sometimes, she was quite perfect for me except for the jealousy. But I'll keep moving forward and think positive. Wonder what 2011 will bring now my life is normal again.
  7. I feel your pain, got up the rear wheel to drop of a table, brake slipped and landed straight on my back. Just recovered from an injury, very mad at myself for even trying to ride in this weather
  8. This video just caused me an injury
  9. spirit is alright aswell if I remember correctly. I'm not sure if you would want to heat the disc, I think it could warp if not handled correctly, spirit or alcohol should be sufficient.
  10. Alright, thought that was what it was for, thanks!
  11. Just the pads, you can use alcohol to clean your rotor. I see alot of hope mono trial related issues lately, could it have something to do with the cold?
  12. Alright, interesting to know, will help me out to discover a leak for sure I had the brake fixed, turned out the "90 degree rotation something" (literal translation from dutch) was broken, something in the caliper. I just had the brake returned but the lever travel is quite horrible. The rotor isn't aligned exactly in the center and I have new pads, will see how it feels when I use some washers and have it broken in. Is there any way to adjust the reach, like a tpa? Thanks!
  13. The intro was way too long, but it was a very good effort. His use of flat tailwhips are very nice though, he seems to corporate them in his lines quite nicely (ecspecialy at 4:18) and doesn't do them just for the sake of tailwhipping
  14. I would kill for his manuals. He has a very nice style, very unique combination of uci and street. Sweet.
  15. I keep the brake on aswell, I feel more secure that way. That might the problem why I have trouble adjusting my pedals by applying pressure on them. Anyway, I watched this video and noticed the how he hops and adjust his pedal allignment at 00:37, might be interesting to watch.
  16. Alright, makes sense Tried this, but whenever I use hops it pushes my frontwheel over the ledge, and pushing on the pedals disturbs my balance. Guess I just need to get used to that though. Any more tips/video's are welcome
  17. Right, I think no one correctly understood. Thanks for the feedback mike, but you seem to be going at something else that I'm at aswell. I'm talking about this: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheGuusTube#p/u/14/02QlobEDLbU Static hook maybe? I go to rear though, not sure if that makes a difference.
  18. Hello, I've been practising wedges(not sure if wodge is the correct term) static hooks lately. I've been having some trouble with pedal alignment. The move feels best why my pedals are horizontally alligned before execution. However, when I pedal up to the object and land on it, my pedals aren't algined properly, I still have space for a pedal kick. Is this normal or should I adjust my technique so the pedals are alligned upon landing? If this is normal, how should I adjust the position? I rotate my pedals 3/4 rotation backwards to get in the right position now, but that just seems very unhandy when I need to balance on a slanted object.I have seen video's where riders do them immediatly after landing.. I had a hard time explaing this, so feel free to ask questions if you don't understand what I mean. Any tips are greatly appreciated. Video's that show a good example are also great
  19. Amazing, I just can´t get over the perfectness, I reckon you could be hired by biketrial companies for modeling their concept parts. Not sure if your setup could handle it, but you could try and record the making of a part to show the progress? Think it would be very interesting for us to see! Keep up the good work.
  20. If these pictures get public our sport is doomed
  21. Is there a way to reprint receipts?I lost mine :$
  22. The light was on, this was the best I could do with cloudy weather It's still there, doesn't seem damaged aswell. How moist is a leak? The bleed nipple (i think? first picture thingy) is very greasy, but not exactly moist.
