Yes fair point, same here if I get randoms asking if I'm doing the same as that guy off you tube I say yep pretty much the same, and the aim is to get up with out putting my foot down

I was comparing my reason I enjoy riding to his! Yes excellent posts!

Only problem is if you buy a 9 speed cassette let's say and cut it up, the spacers that came with it will only work with a 9 speed shifter, unless you get a thumb shifter.

Using words like boring, beond dull and you dislike over 90 %

You take off from ur forks ? How far can people get ?

It seemed to me that your promoting what you like by putting down what you don't like! Yes I also ride for the same feeling as you! I basically look at some thing and set my self the challenge to get up and over it, and when I finally do it then I'm happy. Just the same as you trying a manual or what ever! Isn't the end goal the same ?

What's the point ?

Just shows your mentality

I gotta say that's narrow minded, if you love that type of ridding- awaome If that's what you wanna and promote then that's awaome to, I don't have. Problem with that!! But you can't just say any other type is shot and boring!! Also to me any move I might wanna spend time learning can only to improve my ridding, if it looks good then kool! Take gillies costlier again and how he goes up to front!! Looks amazing to me but isn't the only reason it looks the way it does is that is the best tech? He's evolved all his moved for best gains not looks

Plasma or laser? Also have they been polished or is that the typical finish? Whats the typical RA ?

Yea I know what your saying Ali! That's where the side hop comp comes in! When it gets high and you fail then the crowd really get behind you! But what if after 10 goes you still dont make it ?? They are gonna get disappointed ! So I think yea knock it off but always make sure you clear it! Also when you 12 feet up failing a gap and falling is risking more than your pride!! Am I ment to answer your questions ?

Ye fair point, but I'm sure the general finish your gonna get with a plasma is gonna be pretty ruff!!! Cnc or not

Was it when every one was mental about measuring the taps, gaps and side hops ? Times have changed now though, need to invent H G S

Sorry! Although there are some valid questions about machining process.

Well you basically answered your own question!! As for demos How professional would using pallets look? The whole reason for a demo is to entertain people, not show case the ability, as all of the moves are mind blowing for the crowd. Why risk failing a 1o foot gap when a 8 foot gaps plenty big enough to blow there minds? I have no idea what level of rider you are but I'm pretty sure that you would think twice about some of the moves! At the end of the day it's a professional format

I may be wrong but I'm sure kris leeson wad the first! Problem is not all of them still ride so how would that work? Would u use old footage but maybe still interview them ?? Not sure !

Stupid I phone

Yes I agree mark! But but might just be enough to make the difference! And he's got some already! Depends what's his goals are I guess? All out strength- just stick with steel or if u wanna make it light then other options need to be explored! What kinda plasma cutter is it? I'm guessing it's nc or Cnc ?

I havnt read all th coments, just to referring to Adams about deforming. You say you have carbon fibre? Could you cut a bit of carbon and place it in the slot either with a tight fit or some glue might help with strength and keep weight down ??

Are these just you personal fav riders? Yes sure I can agree with many on the list, but some of the riders are maybe very similar to each other!! I was think along the lines riders who I fist seen ride trials on the net. One name who springs to mind is Martin Walker! Guy with a silver pace and disc brakes?? Amazing ridding for his time. I'm sure some of the older members will know who I'm on about??

What infront of paying customers- the public ?? I can ride all the rig with my eyes closed so to me that says m not using 100% effort & skills

Ali I have never said your not a trials rider? As I said I used wrong wording!! I think we all need to agree to disagree on this one! As long as your enjoying then that's the main thing!! We both know that we arnt twats in real life and have had some good rides, as Matt put it I'm off to fight that tyre fold Ali I have never said your not a trials rider?

Riding, dunno why my phone keeps predicting that!!

Also probly the best part of comps is that you get to ride amazing places, get to watch and talk to some amazing riders and learn alot about ridding! Remember riding for a couple of hours after comps with Ali more than once on the past even though I had a 4 hour drive... Also Ozzy reminded me of a good point, Charlie rolls is already world champion and I think he's only 8 years old, he's a future of trials and I want to see him improve and hope fully this will mean the uk trials scene will grow bigger and bigger that why I try to help him out with any thing he asks me! Same with riders like jack carthy I'm more than happy to him him out although not much in terms of ridding as he's catching me and no doubt by the end of year will be in a different league! But mechanically iv helped him in the past many times!!
