Hi from Poland! I'm new here and new to trials/street. Training it was my childhood dream but back then I was too scared to try and too poor to get another smaller bike for tricks. Now I'm 32 and have Polygon Trid with bigger gear in the back (yes, I know it's not trial bike per se) and I'm starting out. My trackstand got realy good after just 3 days so I'm hyped as hell. Tried unweighting front wheel and get it up today, which goes kind of good (super fatiguing after a while lol). What I'm concerned about is obviously falling on my a-s-s and potentially breaking my tail bone. How do you guys protect your bum from that? Is it even possible to neutralize that kind of force when you fall with your whole weight and hit concrete? I suppose it's smart to learn jumping back off a bike before that happens but there may be times where it's just not possible I guess. Any help would be great, thanks!

Its not that there is one part which has alota'logos, its all the parts together on the bike that scrambles my eyes. I was never really a fan of the rim logos on those rims and the fact that they're deep it just lets the huge logos stand out even more. The writing on the tyres not lining up with anything is possibly adding to the scrambling.  The function of that particular saddle could be argued🤣 The size, material and angle is all wrong for me. Too small, too hard and pointing the wrong way(-hey) 😂 There are so many good options out there for pivotal & non-pivotal BMX saddles as well as Inspired's own but if you're happy then that's all that matters. (I think trials bikes had normal mtb saddles before mini seats came along man, so wouldn't say that's where we started).🤷‍♂️

I am surprised you feel that there are too many logos. Those are just what comes originally from all those parts. But I personally like the logos myself. Which part do you feel has too many logos?   As for the saddle, I could have a more "traditional" looking saddle. But as a pragmatic person myslelf, I would rather like to use the 130 gram 1 piece carbon saddle that also gets out of way for trials moves. My thought is that the function outweighs the need for looks (though I don't mind the look of the Box one carbon seat) The seat is an interesting issue on trials bikes. We started from mini seats that were shaved to be as light as possible to now people using bigger seats for better "looks". For me, I think the race bmx seat I have is a good middle ground between the trials mini seats of the old, and the full size MTB seats. 

Death by logos. You've got all the "good parts" - Just seems a bit busy to look at. That saddle is killing me too. Turns a high end bike into more of a child's bike.

Looks so short compared to modern comp bikes haha. Nice clean looking build, though. Know the weight?
