  1. I've been riding for about a year and I still can't manage them. I'm just about getting onto the back wheel but I never really tried it until about a month ago. Then again, I've only just sorted myself out with a trials specific bike in the last few weeks...
  2. I haven't been running my ENO for long but it gets my vote. Engages quickly and perfectly every time. It's what I'll be putting on any bike I buy in the future anyway.
  3. You sure? To me, that comment just read, "I'm not gay, but i do rather like the taste of penis...".
  4. Don't forget that they'll tear the shit out of your shins a lot worse than double cages if you slip and get your shin into them. You are a lot less likely to slip but if you do, and your leg is in the unfortunate path of the pedal, you're getting torn. I'm making mine singles now though because I'm not really doing anything hardcore enough to slip properly and I've accepted that shin cutting happens, by riding a bike with V8's for a while...
  5. Just the difference I've seen between my double cage and a freind's single, theres a little more grip because there's more pressure on the shoe. Less surface area, more pressure. The second cage supports your foot a bit more and makes it a little flatter on the pedal, making your foot a bit more likely to slip off the pedal. When you have a single, your foot will sag a little into the center of the pedal and give you a little bit for your foot to push against and stop your foot from slipping forward or back. You may find yourself chewing up your shoes a bit more with one cage though... Just my understanding of it...
  6. Your ideas are interesting. I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
  7. Loved the 360 down the HUGE set of steps with people coming up after just to see if he was still alive Flair off the tree was pure madness... But my favourite was him doing a wall tap to get himself sitting himself between the bike rail and the wall, and if that wasn't impossible on its own he gaps to the next 2... He raised the bar with this one, bigtime
  8. If you can put the wheel in a vice, clamping the axle so the wheel can turn. I'd say use a cutting disc and hold it at a slight angle (steep angle to the rim surface and if you look along the disc, not quite pointing towards the center of the wheel) This will cause the wheel to turn, causing the grind to be nice and even all along the wheel Then just keep cutting till its rough. But obviously not enough to actually weaken or damage your rim. Practice with an old wheel is a good idea.
