Here is a little clip of wayne from the leeds christmas ride. I thought it was a fairly decent move to pull off, so hats off to you sir.....very decent. tv.isg.si link > left click > the right click, save target as on waynio1.mov cheers ben

duncan i cant make next week 22nd make it for the 29th and it will be perfect and i should be able to make it cheers ben

hello, is this comp still planned to go ahead? I would like to pay another visit to this venue, it was great fun last time. Any update duncan? Ben

god what a bunch of moaners, jesus. i dont talk to the skaters round here, not really bothered to, but i certainly would chat with them if they came and chatted to me, it doesnt bother me, they are only people after all..... and burton what you on about, your a pansy who wouldnt ride int wet either love yall. where is the love?

erm if u d/l the new quicktime it offers a new compression style called h.264, when you use final cut, it should offer this as a compression type, ensure your frame size is 340x240 or something similar, and it should be ok it will turn out as a .mov file, and should be nice, if you want to see an example of the video quality mine is viewable from http://tv.isg.si/site/?q=filebrowser/ben@hulltrials and download heatsinkvideo2.mov cheeers ben

now i respect craig and neil, but to quote them on a thing like this is gay, its a topic of your OWN opinion, if craig and neil want to comment on it they can, but really please dont do things like that, you just look like a bummer. if you dont like it, thats fine, we all knew its hard to tap, but ive adapted, and can tap ok on my adamant, 52" is a decent standard if u ask me. but really, someone shouldnt make a decision on what bike to make just because CLS and Neil say so. that really would be gay as f**k EDIT: i realised you posted your own comment, that is fine, but just dont quote two riders, its just makes u look like a bummer, they are good riders, but as far as i know both specced the geo for the new 2006 bikes anyway

i have had my adamant for about 6-7 weeks now and i love it, i have tapped 52", biggest i did on toxsin was 55, and that was lucky . i can gap as far as before, i can sidehop higher more consistently. , i am better at hooks. in short i love mine to pieces, i wouldnt go back, its a love hate relationship for most though, like marmite, u either love it or hate it. I love it, and its good on the rocks . each to their own. ben

just get it ground, it will improve your brake no end. i love it

or you could just tell the people who would like to know? let them have some fun.

yall rite mateys i should still be there, but not riding, been in hospital with internal bleeding, so im bringin spencer@hulltrials and dw@hulltrials. Hopefully ill be able to make a video, im really gutted not to be riding, but id rather not rupture my f**king insides, it hurts i tell thee. ah well im such a fag. damon if you see this, give me a shout asap on my mobile so that we can organise a lift. laters

hey guys, cheers for the support, it f**king hurts i tell thee, i doubt ill be riding to standard for a wee while, taken a few bad falls while i have been back down south, but this one took the biscuit, apparantly quite a lot of damage, but im home now, and all is good, well except that i cant walk proper and it hurts to move around too much, which i think is brusing. anyway, cheers for support, and ill hopefully catch up with people on the leeds ride, i should be there, just not riding. cheers ben

takes some getting used to, i couldn't do shit on them before, now i got 52 the other night, so you know it can be difficult you just have to perservere (sp?)

16:14, perfect for street and natural. adamant a1 tyres are around 20psi or so, maybe less, cos i have new echo rims so to get bounce i run em lower

seeing as no-body has hit the nail on the head here, there are a few differences LONGER STAYS ON A2A2 IS WHITEA1 IS U6 ALUMINIUM AND LIGHTERA2 IS 6061 I THINK thats the ones i know if you compare the descriptions on tartybike it will tell you and there would be no need for this post . Below is a pic of my A1. I have found it hard to tap, but im getting it now, had 52" t'other night. So its fine to tap when u dial technique. If you only tap, then dont bother with any HIGH BB,

"BLA" dare we go, love it, now running heatsink reds on a cnc backing, and tis lovely laters

agreed colour is the way forward

dont be daft ben, i cant ride for shit, im to uci for all these streety guys, who reckon they dont care. a few posts in here have already started to slag off the UCI stylee. CAN WE ALL JUST LEAVE THIS TOPIC ALONE< WHO CARES WHAT WHO RIDES. ITS ALL TRIALS NOW SHUT UP YOU FAGS< IT REALLY PISSES ME OFF> anyway. waynio is one of the soundest lads i have had pleasure to meet. really good lad. thats all really. think porter will be a good person to get an article on, but i dont read MBUK cos its shit to be honest. too much crap and false advertising (people pay for good reviews)

the TF tape is where someone guesses what height they are making, and then exaggerates some more, its actually gone to the point where 50" was the said measurement, but the height was actually about 38-40 so you know, its where people exaggerate a fair bitty.

seems a bit of a stupid comment to make. anyway, to mr POOPIPE.... its hard to describe, im just managing to get ma taps back, ws doing 50" roughly last night, and its not TF tape u sarcy bastards . The technique is harder to dial, but i imagine if you have a higher stem then they become easier, i have a much lower stem but like i say, im getting there now. Also it is a lot harder to land up to back wheel on the tap, for example i was doing 50 and never kept it on back wheel, the front just comes down so easy, but i will get there, now if you want to talk hooks, then high BB is the way forward, so nice to ride for hooks anyway im off to find a hooker

thats the exact response i wanted, mainly to point out that onza boy mark is wrong in sayin UCI stuff is boring, if street heads like mike are doing stuff like this, it cant be that boring, even i like mixing the odd spinny thing in there. meh, ill help you with hooks mike if you teach me how to do some of the weird stuff u do see you on leeds ride

there was a post similar to this recently, with some boy saying how he wasnt enjoying it as much. which is his opinion, no-one can change it, only he can. Its the same scenario here. To which im going to have a reply similar to ALI C's I LOVE TRIALS RIGHT NOW> I dont give a shit whether i get slagged cos all i do is hook tap and sidehop. I like trying to go bigger, its the funnest part in my opinion, yes i get frustrated, but its what i enjoy doing. Im good mates with damon watson, and we always have a laugh talking about who is best, who cna go bigger. but it is all in jest, bit of banter to spice it up. Im about to start trying more technical stuff. hopping onto rails etc, and whether u say it or not it takes big balls when its handlebar heigh. if you have tried it or reckon you would i challenge you too. its difficult. in reply to bongo, i understand your awesome on your bmx, and overall there is probably more danger, but if your ten feet up doing a twelve foot gap over water in bristol then im sure thats pretty sketchy as well. There is danger in trials, just because your not travelling at 100mph doesnt mean that its not dangerous. I enjoy watchin BMX, its cool, but I, yes ME, I MOI prefer trials, and its much more fun. onzaboymark, you really need to stop watchin trials vids if you find them so repetitive. Thats what trials riders do. we are not BMXers, we dont mix tricks like BMXers, so if you can find the perfect trials video then ill be happy to watch it, somewhere there will be a street video that has a big up in it. James porter is an example, he does all this spinny stuff, but hooks taps drops gaps, thats what trials is mainly about. even the likes of miek (leedtrials) does gaps, sure he does technical stuff, but can he hook, u know its what we enjoy doing my 2p too much writing

echo urbans, same as damon. the whole build is same as damons

hey guys, i agree with ben, give it a longer chance, the ride style is very different. You will need to give it a chance. Anyway no pics of adamants in this thread so thought i would add one here i always tend to go off chrome frames, such as the hi-fi, i am bored of silver but anyway, heres a black een

its not an advert, damon is one of the hardest riders in the UK, he goes big and knows what works and what doesnt work. He just wanted to put a small review of what he has found over the past month with the bike. give him a break, jesus, this is an informative post for those who want to buy the components, although maybe he could have left the web addresses off the post, but he isnt exactly going to be reviewing a product of viz's is he, he doesnt ride for them, so how or why would he evaluate these products. THIS IS WHAT HE RIDES, he cant review stuff he doesnt use. this is not a form of advertising in my opinon. and its a better post than some of the others that are being put up in trials chat at the moment, jesus give him a break

kyle your not going to be pished like you were in that video are you. come on guys, get your arses out, commit to this ride, also i noticed wayne mohammet wont commit, mr waynio u will recieve a back hand from my......back hand if you dont get your arse there love you really
