I've been using trialstech foam grips for a while now but get the same problem as i do with gloves. after a while they get full of all the sweat and dead skin making the grips really slippy. gloves ain't a problem, just chuck them in the wash. grips on the other hand don't seem to clean as well in the washer. any one else got the sme prob?

not alot i could do with out my topeak Alien!

just realised there's going to be bout ahalf a £million worth of bikes turning up. trying to covince my dad you can get two trials bikes in the bk ofa BMW 320 estate.

good to see you getting better as the vid goes on. nice vid interesting music.

i really liked that, every one should do something similar. ''their fave' wall'' like the last move!

love it. always loved BMX inspired riding. i really enjoyed usen' front sus on me old t-rex. ''f*** peddle hoppin, just benny hop it!'' my mates onabout doing the same.

didn't finnish last vid cos of this. feel stupid every time i watch it. left foot bent back, damaged my ancle, soft tisue stuff. really wanted to get bk on the bike before london and this is all i could manage. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....ils&id=1666 hope you like, the wineos in the background seemed to love it, lol Youtube Video -> ">" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350">

enjoyed that. nice control.

I hate riding alone!!! Will never ride as hard as i do when i'm with others. but i spose if you ride with others all the time it's nice to have a break by youself. try you own thing. group rides i always come home learning something new!

hey buddy, welcome to the forum. BMX is a good start for bike skill, good to start bunny-hopping, not so good for trials. i'd get an onza and see were it takes you. all the best AaRoN

wicked lines there mate. sh*t hot vid. really like it!!!

i saw this video back in 1992 and was gobsmacked. it 'planted the trials seed' so to speak. prob' won't interest many riders but it brought back some old memories for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BgV2xIPreg...feature=related to think this was just the intro!!! the video was bout an hour ana half long. 'd like to know what people think.... EDIT: really want to get another copy of this... if any one knows were i could get a copy?

VERY chilled for Mr Akrigg no balls, no fear!!! *smooth agression **you maybe he should chuck in a backflip/double tailwhip while he's walltapping 7foot+!!!lol sorry , i don't know of any rider in the world who rides like Akirgg. BMX, trials what ever. sic riding.

i had the 04 black M.A.D frame when i started and the brake mounts were welded at leased 15mm too high so brakes rubbed on tyre. got warrenty and got the 05 white M.A.D frame and the same thing happened to me, chain stay on the drive side by the bb snap. gave up with sarecen in the end got an onza!!! best thing i ever did.

i'll try my best?!?!? 1bad peddle facing up...2start peddling ina low wheelie, kinnda crouched, with your arse just over the back wheel...3as you peddle keep your arse kinda close the frame (not too close cos you won't be able to get the bounce you need, knees at bout 45 degrees)....4as you good foot comes into the same pointy up possition, stamp on your good peddle and jumpup...5your hips are at the bars and your sholders well over the bars...6bend you knees as much as you can and bring the bars up and forward. the feeling to get any hight feels like your nearly flipping the bike....so do so a couple of times. pull a high wheelie, stand tall, cover the back brake and see how far back you can go before the bike flips. the possition you are before the bike flips is when you need to do no6. try it on small stuff and just chuck youself as high as you can. you can't get better practice then just strait bunny hopping over stuff. hope it helps/my bad if it don't! EDIT:one thing i will add 4-6 needs to done quite quickly/aggresively!!!!

the main part i usually miis out is the hole throwing hips at the bars. you'd be supprised how much of your arms you need to use. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cuo7BslZXz8...re=channel_page don't know if this will help you get further distance, the basis is the same just put more efort in.

nice bit of riding there. i do reconise some of the area form other vids.........couldn't tell you which ones. more london vids....lets get a bloody volt of vids in here...get everyone syked. only decent one i've found so far....i havent looked that hard really.

pitty, he's a good larf. haven't seen akrigg ride (in person) since bike 2000. really hoping i learn something of all these pros. seriously can't wait to meet you all. hope me foot holds up!!! any one have any london ride vids/links they would like to share? not knowing the area be nice to see what to expect!!!

old skool ashton n hawzie!!!!!!!!!!!! so many memories. aaaaaahhhhhhh! any idea if hawzie'll be showing his face.

but still perty slik mate.

i think lefties have the advantage when landing on the bash. got the bash and the peddle to balence on either side of the bike. don't think either foot effects skill level. depends on how ballsy you are, how regular you ride and how quickly you learn. a prodigy (in anything) will have at leased 1500 hours practice under their belt.

thank you... he's right though. i'm a bad man for not wearing one:(

i like music!!! that better? anything from Slipknot/korn/rage against the machine, to R.E.M./ocean color scene/eric clapton to eminem (i know it's rap but the blokes talented!) ''drumandbass is a form of music'' - DnB is a style of synthesizing. no more than engineered sounds.

cheers guys. anything people would add, change?
