  1. i may have to perswade my dad then because he has a paypal account so how much would you charge for one of these t-shirts?
  2. i wouldnt know. no offence but its not the best idea sending some money to a random person thats on the internet haha.
  3. yeah i like it and i would deffinatly consider buying one lol
  4. just something i have notised... the rockman hub is the opposite way round would you just turn it around and it would still work fine?
  5. you want to be on your backwheel with you rear brake on. Then you want to let go of your brake and "kick"/ pedal at the same time and hop a little. Then before you land, hold your rear brake again. once you get 1 or 2 then you dont need to hop, you just automatically do it through the "kick". its just practise mate, keep trying and experiment. its hard to explain, it would be much easy to show you haha! hope this helps mate
  6. exacally! i all i was doing was helping that kid onza tyres i think have a too harder compound, maxis slip when you are on the limit and things are a little bit wet, and tryall are great. and as your status says "all new members are gay" ive been a member for just under a year but never really got into using the site. and im sure that you was once asking questions, so you cant moan about others for doing the same
  7. maxis are deffinatly better. i run a maxis on the front but have a tryall on the rear. tryall are amazing tyres, but they have a high rolling resistance and slow you down when you are traveling a long distance
  8. at the moment, i am running flat bars. i havent got a problem with them apart from the fact they are uncomfy to ride long distances on. i did have a pair of risers before but i snapped them . to be honest i am not bothered what type of bar i run, flat or riser, but some risers feel really strange. You cant go wrong with a set of flat bars, but if you are going to buy risers, then i recomend to buy a pair that you know you like the feel of.
  9. you could try learning crank flips. i do them just ballancing on my rear wheel, and just jump, flick, catch. i wouldnt recomend learning them without shinpads though!! they are not the simplist of tricks but they are good for showing off to the other riders with
  10. i remember when i had onza pedals once, they were a short cage pedal i think. if you think about the size of them, they are too small and dont distribute your weight across your feet very well, and it concentates it in one place. That could possibly be why your feet hurt. I think you should change your pedals to a bigger size cage pedal, or a platform one. hope this helps
  11. at the moment, i am riding with a pair of etnies and caged pedals. My foot does slip off sometimes but not very often. i would recomend either a really good pair of platform pedals, with "evil" looking pins, or just a pair of normal cages. mostly its just personal preference. and for shoes, i tend to buy shoes with a slighty soft sole on them so they can grip a little bit better. be carefull when buying the shoes though, because you dont want a shoe that is wide as it may be more likely to catch your brake booster or cross-over pipe. hope this helps
  12. please try to type it so others can read it. that would be a good start. from the description you gave, if i was to buy your frame, £60 would be the maximum. ( that is just my opinion, and i do not want to buy it, its just an example)
  13. take the pistons out of the clamps, squeeze the lever so the pistons come out a bit. Then you lube the pistons up a bit. i have done this before as my brake pads kept sticking. i also re-bleed my brake. hope this helps
  14. hi! Im Sam, im 15 and i have rode bmx for 3 years. i have always loved trials but i have never had anyone to ride with as all of my mates dont like it. i decided to sod them, buy a trials bike and do what i wanted to do . i have been riding trials for about 8 months now, and i have been picking it up Very quickly. i can sidehop around 4ft both ways and gap around 6ft. i started off riding a onza t comp, but i thought it was rubbish. i then went to a ZHI Zm1 rode that for 6 months, then i cracked it by slipping on a sharp wall and hitting my downtube very hard. so now i have a new ZOO! lynx where my old crank arms wont work on it as they have a little offset and hit the frame. when i had my ZHI i met a guy who rides trials and i rode with him everytime i could. he gave me the encouragement to keep trying harder, and gave me tips. he also took me to ride with Neil Tunnicliffe a few times. thats it for the life story really. i like food, monster energy, im a petrol head, and trials is my life!
  15. this is really confusing to use!! haha
