  1. Any chance you could a set done for me in red??
  2. Awesome vid, can't wait for the next one!!
  3. fao tomturd, how come there's no validate links anymore? Still in process of upgrade??

    1. Muel

      Muel

      pretty sure it's been removed, it didn't work as everyone would just ask 5 mates to vote for them.

      use the report function and then a mod will decide if they're validatory material

  4. Keep a look out on ebay for an Onza T Pro, there's quite a few on at the moment including one with a buy it now of £220. Thats probably your best bet till you get validated!
  5. I'd recommend Leeds, from what I've read on here the riding is good and I was there for 3 months last year on a training course and it was rammed with fanny! Enjoyed it so much I've arranged my mates stag do in Leeds next month!!
  6. Anyone on here got kids and if so they got a trainer bike? I got my lad one last thursday (this one) and within a week he's scaring me to death already! Can't recommend them highly enough though, he's 2 ½ and can balance really well already, what's worrying me though is now whenever he gets near a step or kerb he has to stop and lift the front wheel up or roll off the end "like daddy does" though it could be worse! Whats the smallest kids trials bikes they do, could have the next world champ in the making!!
  7. Here's a few I like to use, some free, some not! Tunein radio - listen to almost any radio station that is broadcast over the net, great when you get bored of what tunes you've got saved on the phone! Vouchercloud - like them 2 for 1 vouchers and money off ones you can get on the net but you don't have to print them off just show the voucher on your phone and hey presto, plus it shows what offers are on nearby you through gps! Crystal Maze - purely for the soundboard and Richard O'Briens classic "Will you start the fans please!" line Ebay - never miss an auction again!
  8. Probably nowhere near the right solution but I go to the gym quite a bit and take the usual protein shakes and supplements (like creatine) so try and stick to a relatively healthy diet but the one thing I find that really kills me is not drinking enough. Most days I drink around 2-3.5 litres of water (not including brews!) and I find if I have a day or 2 where I'm just on tea and coffee and don't get much water down I get absolutely knackered, fall asleep on the sofa, no energy, colds and general roughness. Could be all in my head but thought I'd stick a suggestion in for you, you never know!!
  9. Rockings definately the best method I found years ago when I first learnt, kicking straight up into a backhop took quite a while to master. It's easier to kick up into one when you've mastered rocking into a backhop and kicking forward, to be honest if I were you I'd try and get hold of a copy of Tricks and Stunts DVD as whilst its quite old now it does a good job of teaching you the basics! You probably will find it a little harder than normal though to do on a normal MTB compared to a trials specific frame due to the geometry.
  10. Just ripped my shin out again, was my right one though for the first time ever?!

      The wife nearly fainted when I pulled my leg hairs off the pedal pins!!

  11. Nice vid there Ben, nice to see a bit of real trials on a vid for a change an some of them rocks are mahoosive!! Good stuff fella!!!
  12. Excellent info for newb's this! Should be a sticky brake feature!!
  13. Nah took them months to figure one out for 3.1.3. and I don't trust that enough to upgrade yet!
  14. Surely that should be England??!!
  15. Although you won't be able to jailbreak it, mine'll be staying on 3.1.2 for a while yet!
  16. Another glorious early shift! Roll on 1 o clock!

  17. I'd be a bit careful with the first one though as in the description he says he bought it off ebay about 2 months ago whereas he's only got 1 feedback from around 6 months ago for what looks to be a road frame. Not saying he definately didn't get it off ebay in the first place as may just have not recieved feedback but worth asking about!
  18. Yeah I wouldn't worry about a long frame, I'm 6'3" and 14 stone and I've got a short 07 python which feels fine. As for Trials UK, don't even go there! When you get validated you'll probably find some good stuff in the for sale but it depends on how big your budget is, seen as you've ridden before there's no reason to not get a new frame as you don't have to worry bout trashing something whilst learning like most of the noobs on here.

    Films!?

    I remember watching that at the cinema when it first came out! Can't wait for 3rd one to finally get sorted!
  20. 20 minutes till hometime then goin to get my 2 yr old a helmet for his balance bike!!

  21. Aye could do, on 6-1 tomorrow then free all day sunday. Spoilt for choice as for what to ride now as well!
