Typical, wait for ages for it. Then when i go round to a friends house, it gets uploaded. Damn you Mr Maher. Tis' yoyoyo by the way, should anyone care. Doubtful.

I would have thought that if you are only starting it shouldn't be too bad, as you are not used to anything else. It's nt like starting on rigid forks and upgrading. I'd say it would be fine, watch out fot the travel length though. I know you said you'd only be using it at 60mm, but if you start to make it higher then it could put some more strain on your headtube.

Try emailing one of the admin(danny or Tomturd) to put it in the stolen bikes thread. Use the contact button in the top right. But i'm fairly new here so i'm not sure if it's only for getting advertising banners put up.

It's www.ryanleech.com

Check his site, he sometimes has clips on there, or youtube.com. Or you can buy his dvd's. Manifesto and Mastering the art of trials. MTAOT is a how to dvd.

I don't know... Joe Mahers zenith(i think) was green and looked sweet. But then you can never go wrong with black.

Sure he can't sidehop as high or gap as far as some, but his riding is more flowing and it is good to watch. I know it's your opinion, and this is mine. Personally i think that trials these days has become more on who can get higher or further, but i like to see more technical riding, which is why i'm also into bmxing, i guess they just go hand in hand.

I'd say Ryan Leech. The way he can link moves without correction hops does it for me. To have as much control as he does. Like in Manifesto, riding on the rails and his balancing is something that i would like to try and achieve, although i'll never be anywhere near as good. Also the PR he does for trials, all the shows for Norco and the dvds that help beginners like me. Gives out a good image for trials. So he's probably my main idol. Also the two Martyns, who do/did a lot for trials in the UK. Tricks and stunts both help loads with techniques and also if you see them in the flesh, they are fun and tend to help out if you have any questions. Those are the sorts of styles that i like to look up to. I see a lot of sports people who feel they are above everyone else, not in trials but in larger sports, who unless theres some paparazzi around will shrug you off. But those in the trials community seem to be more welcoming, maybe because it's a smaller sport or because there's less money in it.
