Thought it might be something along those lines Cheers.

Yeah - gravity keeps the bike down. You jump up. If you didn't grip the bars, you'd just come RIGHT off - so that must play a major role. But if you have the front end low down, why doesn't your body mass just pivot around your hands?

Mine don't

Drive-train on the wrong side? ...Just me?

I was talking to a guy at work, he knows a fair bit about bikes - rides a lot of XC. He'd never heard of trials before (he's oooooold, compared to most of us.... late 40's), but when I told him about it, he'd seen some clips. He raised an interesting point - one that I'd never thought about before. He said: "When you do that hop to the side, and especially the ones where you keep it at quite a vertical angle on just the back wheel - how do your feet not come off the pedals?" This got me thinking... How the hell DO we not come off the pedals? Is it purely the hold on the bars, and pulling it up with us? Surely that'd only work on quite steep angled hops... What about low down ones, where you don't raise the front wheel too much? A combo of friction between pedals and feet, pulling on the bars, and just general momentum? I'm sure one of the physicists on here is about to make me feel very silly indeed, but I'd rather feel silly and know the answer, than not Any ideas?

There's no parkour in it. There's free-running [EDIT: tricking, for the most part] - but that's not something I'd want to be associated with There's a difference. Haha. Enjoyed that Was it just a one day jobbey, or something?

No leaning into corners? ...Something I'm missing?

Ouch.

Yeah - I found out yesterday evening. Until then, I thought I was riding Bunny with Boumsong. I know Boumsong's going, and same with me and Kris[boats]. Cya there Oh yeah.... I don't think I've met you

I wouldn't send anything, as it'd break peoples minds. Whatever you send, it'll be something that didn't exist back then, else there'd be no point sending it. That means the younger "you" would have the modern parts. If the younger "you" had these parts, and "you" are you, but younger, how come you (not "you") didn't have them? However - if I was forced to send something, I'd send a note saying: "What are you so scared of?", a big wad of cash, and a number for a highly successful phsyciatrist.

Is there a single stock left in Braintree? Enjoyed it Nice music, normally hate that type - but I liked it.

Not normally

It just that... It hardly seems an exciting point in life; ordering new brake pad material. I get excited if.... pfffff.... I dunno - but it takes more than buying some bits of rubber

...That's kinda sad

Gap from the bench, to the floor - if I know Boumsong Steps are a lot deeper than they look, in the photo.

Enjoyed that a creepy large amount :$

Is there another topic for posting the videos, then? I'm just about to go out and make one (if I can ), but no-one else has put one up yet?

Really good Only thing that stopped it being excellent, was the HORRID aspect ratio. Is it just my PC? It displays as like... Tallscreen (Less than 1:1)

Hahaha.

+1

Me too - so far.

Get rid of the little rider, and change the font of the trials-forum.co.uk bit (not the TF) - and I like it Wouldn't have it in white though... Don't like white shirts.

I don't talk to girls - so make me one Are you lot really so vain, that you care what someone you've never met before, thinks of you?

Recently moved up to 24" (from mod). Got a Zoot - and am in no way regretting it. After two rides, I can gap a foot further than on mod, and just feel much more at home on it. Went for it as stocks feel too big for me, and I was crunched up on a mod. Without wanting to sound like a wannabe innovator - I hope Deng doesn't make 24's... He's already got [pretty much] a monopoly on the trials market (by which, I mean - he must take around half/two thirds of the custom, atleast?) Not saying this is a bad thing, they're very good frames - but I think it'd do the scene a lot of good if Deng doesn't own trials GOOOO ANTI-DENG!
