Davetrials Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 looks pretty unimpressive if u think what a brakless bmxer would do on the same object, all hes doing in essence is riding a quater? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NVWOCI WVS Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 To be honest dave kindof has a point, I wouldnt be that impressed by someone doing that on a bmx... Infact, I'd almost certainly give that a crack myself, but for some reason the fact he's got big wheels makes it slightly more impressive, even though this should make it easier! Not sure, it's not even close to vert either, so maybe I'm not that impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boon racoon Posted June 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Think it was a wall/ledge ride - pretty high! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1a2bcio8 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Remember the reality of a riding situation seems to be reduced through the medium of photo or video for that matter. I've seen plenty of lines on both, thinking I could nail it no probs, only to come across it first hand and to totally reject my initial thinking...

Mark W Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 When I finally spotted the ledge it did look more impressive, to be fair. Plus, in all honesty, I'm all for anything that pushes trials in a new way that doesn't involve cutting the knobbles off his tyres or whatever the latest 'get light quick' trick is.

Says the BMXer who would probably use a drilled titanium belt-buckle if only Federal would produce one... BMXers are just as bad as trials riders surely?!

Mark W Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Says the BMXer who would probably use a drilled titanium belt-buckle if only Federal would produce one... BMXers are just as bad as trials riders surely?! Nope. I don't particularly go light weight on my bike, although it's ended up being a reasonable weight. Badly cutting out slots in headtubes and actually going to the trouble of cutting knobbles off tyres is slightly different to buying a ti spindle for your cranks or whatever anyway, in that with ti parts you do actually save a decent amount of weight, without compromising the performance of a product, unlike, say, removing grip from your tyre? f**king truth, if anything you bitches are worse Not particularly. BMXs are generally lighter now because companies have started to realise people are willing to pay more for a product that's actually designed well. BMX frames used to be super heavy because companies were too f**king lazy to put any R&D work in, and just added more material. Classic example is 2-Hip, who made that 9 pound frame. Parts are getting lighter because companies are making them better. not real bmxers, only ponces who have skinny saddels, titanium, freecoasters and big bars. Freecoasters - those would be those hubs that are heavier than almost any cassette available, right? Sounds like a great weight-saving tactic to me EDIT: Just looked back at this post - sorry if I came across like a dick. I was happy that Akrigg was trying something new, and doing something different, not just slating anyone who wants to make their bike lighter.

walker Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 i dont mean to sound like an old codger or anything, but why have people been missing the e of the end of side and ride recently? its a sidehop, not a sidehop and a wallride, not a wallrid... or is it just me who finds it incredibly annoying?

Mark W Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 I think the title was just a typo? People started saying sid due to a mental deficiency. It's definitely not you who finds it annoying, hence sid now instantly being changed to sidehop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it is incredibly. An honest typo SORRY. sidehop (I wrote s i d then!) is the gayest thing to happen to trials in ages besides the tuck.

walker Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 (edited) fair enough, back on topic, that is a pretty beasty wallride, and im sure he does care about weight, im sure thats another reason for having no brakes and his wheels aren't exactly going to weigh a lot. No, it is incredibly. An honest typo SORRY. sidehop (I wrote s i d then!) is the gayest thing to happen to trials in ages besides the tuck. Very true! haha, just realised that its corrected me in my first post, oh well, i got my point across!
