We're back!

- The Tribal Zine staff has been on holiday for the last week... we swapped our computers and our bikes for beaches, pools and lazing about! The site was therefore not updated during this time ; we thought we might be able to get online from time to time, but what with all the relaxing and sunbathing, we just didnt have time! Were back on task now and the rhythm of the site will start picking up again, with our new objective of offering you seven articles a day, seven days a week in order to bring you ALL of the trials news as it happens, allowing you to keep up with the rapid development of our sport. Thank you all for sticking with us and enjoy the rest of the summer!

NB : Our mailbox is full and it will take us some time to get through it all, apologies for the radio silence and thanks for your understanding!

Technical problems...

- Our apologies for the technical problems that we experienced on Sunday evening from about 19:00 : a problem with the server meant that we couldnt connect to the public or private areas of the site. Other sites using the same server experienced similar problems, but weve been assured that it was a one-off hitch.

Elite26in semi-final vid was ace, slightly confused as to why John Webster decided to take that wooden beam section at 03:29-03:41 backwards.

Strange the way Gilles lost it on that rock at 10:59, that kinda of stuff he normally pisses over that with his eyes closed. Would have loved to have seen the clip where he cleaned a section that none of the other riders could attempt.

Because it would have been a fanny to have to hop 270 degrees around whilst facing downhill towards a drop. The only thing your bike would wanna do is go straight off the drop. The way he did it meant he only had to turn like 20 degrees and was hopping uphill which is much easier to control.

what does that mean ben ?

what does tz offer to them

thanks (Y)

Hi Ryan,

We are in partnership with a lot of riders across Europe. While we had some bikes left (that we'd tested etc.) we offered our riders a discount on them. Now we've sent all the bikes out we offer more of a mutual promotion deal whereby riders will wear our shirts/hats and put our logo in their videos and we'll promote them as riders by putting their results, news and media on the site, hopefully attracting other, more substantial sponsors for them.
