There are better frames out there, but they're still pretty good. If you have one in mind that is cheap then go for it, but consider a second hand Onza T-Rex, too.
You people need better friends if they find out your password, and go and talk shit on a trials forum under your name My favorite 'my friend hacked my account' incident was Geary on OTN telling Andy T he was a gay twat then coming on here as Gears and being an alright chap. On topic, no one has been enough of a willy to make me bother about worrying about them.
Terrible news, my thoughts go out to family and friends but also the driver, it appears it was no fault of his own and living with something like that will haunt you for the rest of your life.
HOLY FUC*ING GRAMMAR BATMAN! But your points are largely valid. Don't comfort yourself with thinking 'i'm good at drops, i'll do them', force yourself to try ups over and over until you get them. Practise makes perfect.
I don't ride natural because there is no natural near me. Simple az that. But anyways, people will ride what they want to ride, no point doing summat you'd rather not do.
I'm with Ali on this one, i didn't start them until about 2.5 years of riding. You young ones progress so much quicker than us who have been riding for ages. I learnt on a GT Talera, that was the hight of trials technology 'cos it has a 14" frame!
Get some Loc Ons. If you can find some Yeti Speed grips in loc on, then get them, they're hard, and wear gloves/don't be a pussy! Or just live with it, grips wear out like tyres do.
Dunno if this has been mentioned before, but for the majority of people prefere to watch drops, big ups/gaps rather than a technical section through rocks. I have no natural near me, too...
There's a topic i started in the FAQ's, have a look there as the frame question may be answered. Tyre wise, get a Michelin C24/16 2.2 or a Maxxis Minion 2.35 DHR DP in whatever compound suits you.
