Josephine Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 France have some awesome riders, as do Spain, but the UK has some real talent there's no doubt about that. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janson Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 Swedes > * On a more serious note.. I think that the French are leading the evolution of trials at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanRs Posted May 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 Hum yea, the french are good, but i think they lack style. im not too keen on the super smooth style neither, i think it looks boring. i like to look Extreme! i think us brits are best at that (well, tie with americans, jeoff lenosky etc) Ry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobnobs Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 (edited) How can you not like smoothness? Surely thats what everyone tries to achieve anyway, going big whilst making it look effortless? I know i try. We have some good riders, but just take Koxx days 05, it blew us all away, i love ze french.

N.Wood Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 The thing is, how many French video's do you see? Other than the Koxx riders... Alexis Toteau (sp?) is one of the top riders in the world, and how many people know who he is? The UK seem to put out alot of vids (maybe thats a biast opinion considering i don't frequent and French forums), so we get known... It also depends on what your take on style is. Alot of the US riders love the 'shit BMX' style, cos it's different and prettymuch unique to the UK. French rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smo™ Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 I don't give a f**k. The best riders are the most talented who love to ride regardless of where they're from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardman Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Another thing about the 'shit bmx' style. I think bmx and trials goes hand in hand, they both complenet one another and it will make you a better alround rider whatever one you prefer.

TomN Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 China (Y) It's where its at. Spanish I say top riders only know VH for Frenchies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munki Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 The problem is people will on judge the riders they see on vids. There is only a tiny segment of the trials riders around the world that put out vids, even just on forums like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 What kind of gear ratios do you trials and BMX'ers run? I've got a somewhat standard 36:13 ratio thats meant to be good, but It really seems so hard to pedal, mainly I'll never need to go fast as I can pedal with this setup and yet when I 180 and land fakie the gear ratio is so hard its impossible to swing around! Now I know your not meant to run say 18:12 like on my mod, so is somewhere in between acceptable for BMX? Say 26/27:13? Also is it a good idea (if I change sproket) to go for one with a little grind, bash ring bit on? if so what reccomendations you guys got? Lastly Plaz pads? What shops currently have them in stock? and what household substitutes for mucoff may work (Y) Cheers Olly. ← We hear on here some ones tapped 55" we all think WOWee, but im sure sumwere theres a few guys who dont use the internet, or go comps, who can tap 60", theres LOADS!! of riders no ones ever heard off. good ones.
