  1. love watchin your vids. good to see you trying sommut new!!! THAT was 8.1.mp!!! turn the auto lighting off (takes so much power out you phone) dude that was really poor. all of my t-rex vids were done ona samgung d600 only 2meg. all my newer stuff ona 6.4mp digi cam!!!
  2. not many drop veriations? very smooth!!!
  3. if you are gonna go BMX stylee go with ODI lock-ons. really comfy! easier to get on and of. trialtech are a f**ker. once they'er on, they ain't moving.
  4. blisters will turn to calous' eventually!
  5. hahahaha. silly really!!! street trials is considered by law (if you leave as damage) to be vandelism!!! they don't see the difference, we not insured if something happens! as long as no damage is done nothing with come of it I'm sure!!!
  6. Used hundreds of grips trialtech foams are the best hands down!!! they're alot thicker than say monty foams so comtable and they'er like £5. can't go wrong. better then spending £15 on lock ons.......i found trialtech foams last longer than ANYTHING!!!! http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...category_id=132
  7. i used a bulb for over two years and it worked sh*t-hot..................but...........the rachet ring went like 7 time over that period and snapped the axle once. made me quike scetchy about doing big peddle kicks!!!!!even today!! when it comes to the garrenty it don't include trials use. they'll only replace wear and tear for free. bulbs only 3 paw? pro2 4paw? let alone all the conections are REALLY beefy compared toa bulb. stronger springs! fatter axle. spend the money ona pro2 you won't be dissapointed!!!!!! EDIT:and yes you can run gears but you can only fix 6.
  8. had enough problems of this nature. how much of the bolt is pocking out of the frame? if you got 3-5mm tall head showing you might be able to saw down the middle of the bolt(trying not to saw the frame) and use a flat head screwdriver? other wise drill the bolt out and retap....only ever done that on brake mounts though and thats only 4mmupto5mm. the ones on the bash are 6mm arn't they.....or 5mm can't remember?!?!?!?
  9. Dual-ply. pintches are a real problem till i was introduced to maxxis dual-ply tryes. and yeah, anything HOPE. products, service everything about HOPE. EDIT: onza lightguy forks. many people won't agree but they lasted me alot longer then most forks i've used, nearly year and four months.
  10. tea's better for you in moderation. coffee when it's offered but don't really buy it!!! both taste like crap without atleased two sugars!!!
  11. Onza rear mech!!! lasted two weeks before breaking. good while it lasted. but it didn't! and no i didn't land onit!!!
  12. not bad, how long you guys been riding?
  13. enjoyed that. good mix of lines/style. looks fun area to ride.
  14. ......and still a cool vid. love riding in the snow!!!
  15. just testing the water really. how many people would be interested in camping/travel for the weekend. still early days yet and still resurching options but wanted to see who would be interested so i can get a ruff idea of numbers/prices ect... let me know. Cheers, EDIT: Got a mini bus sorted. Looking at camping areas.
  16. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=sergit...os&start=80 there's a shed load of ryan leechs 'how to' vids as well as some really cool vids by verious other riders. first time i tried side hopping i could bunny hop bout 30inchish at the time. trackstand next to the wall bout handle bar width away from the wall, 1 both brakes locked, all in one motion, 2 lean back and low to start, 3 as your leaning bk pull on the bars, 4 hop and bend you legs, 5 before you hop lean towards the wall. you'll find that you'll hop bkwards, thats were you need to get the peddle kick in. keep your weight on the chain, hanging you weight off the bars, now the same as no' 3 but pullon the bars and let go of the brake and throw you wieght up and to the bars. this is all a ruff jist. but how i pick up side hops. didn't reallt start doing them in backhops till i was i little better. if you keep doing what you know, and keep doing it till you can do it with your eyes closed...everything else with become easier.
  17. i agree. learned so qiuckly using this ratio. I use 20/16 at the mo for streety stuff.
  18. best thing i ever did. whish i had a copy now? trashzen is good but don't break it down as much as DTCS does.... ...leechy boy on the other hand does!!! http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=sergit...os&start=80 think is is all of his vids and some really cool ones as well.
  19. if you don't mind getting second hand the this is what i'm thinking of doing getting a t-pro again. you do get a better drive train,brakes and geo ona t-pro. but if you want all the garrenties and stuff buy new and get the t-bird, it's a wicked starter bike 'n tarty'll sort you out v-pad upgrade. for the little extra getting disc up front wich works sh*t hot. and the 19'' rear wheel. such a nice bike to bunny hop. really flicky. my mates got one and he ragged the crap out of it and the most damage was a dented rim (with was fixed easly,ejustable spanner) and the handle bar bent abit after slammin a four foot drop to front wheel! but like i say he really did push the limets of that bike. only thing i will dis are the leavers they really weak. thats it!
  20. keep riding. try and think of ways to weighing your bike down. when i was using my t-rex i used some forks that i got off an x-rated bike from halfords (they were like 3.5kg) and an old crappy dics wheel that i found (bout1.8kg) rode them for bout 2 months then got a pair of urbans(echo) and a hope xc on d521(nocking off bout 4kg) and everything was so much easier. all this hype bout lighter parts ain't sh*t if you ain't got the tech' to use it!!!! just my opinion. Riding other bikes help. BMX cross training. (think Ali C does the same.)
