  1. Very common to use tubs of Vaseline in the woods on hard logs.
  2. vasha and flipp obvious shredders ... but that girl with the dirt jumper was hot fire!
  3. Used to be called helicopter drop off in USA and was every demo riders showy-trick in the year 1999. spin harder/faster/explode more but mostly just practice!! Your muscles will learn eventually.

    Seeing this green frame black parts around quite a bit right now. I think it looks great... Love to see one built up, too tiny for me to ride.
  5. On a real trials bike ( 5 working gears, seat, 1999 geometry) you can no problem. on today's frames (I wouldn't call them bikes, as they can't be ridden as a bicycle should be ) you would look very very strange and probably fall a lot. Especially if you try to turn at high speeds. Highs speeds being anything over a walking pace. insert Volvo cannondale libor karas picture
  6. Getting good fast J!! I think in 2 months you'll be able to side hop larger than I! Granted the the last time I tried to side hop was 11 years ago.

    I don't know who judders is!! America a f**king huge place, not many riders near my small town of Los Angeles!!... Sad but true, I have to drive 6 hours to get to a highly skilled rider.

    Why how what sooooo smooooooth
  9. Beautiful countryside... Happy he didn't dog piss on that rail ride, or Bc 180 off that manual line.
  10. My pro4 front hub is the bees knees on my street bike. Oh wait I also compete on the street bike??! Arcade fork and through axle is a dream, but wait doesn't that way a ton? Not good for competitions right? Who gives a f**k I still ride better than most pogo puffs with their carbon condom bikes. my hope is on my "comp spec" gu, which sadly hasn't seen 10 minutes of riding since getting my hex..but it's got carbon trial tech bars!? I should've ridden the 19 pound bike for sure..better for comp. I digress... Thinking about getting a monster cross/ touring bike and putting the fewer engagement hope on there, then getting a hope4 for my lightweight competition bike. f**k a freewheel, this isn't 2001. I like putting something on my bike and not touching it for years.
  11. I ordered a hope hub from my lbs right when the 40t came out... But it came as the old model. strong as shit and hasn't been touched since I got it... Would like to try the new one but no reason to get it sadly. Sad to hear bearings blowing out on people...have a feeling I'll get one soon enough. run a Chris king classic from 1998 still on my main bike. Hasn't given me a skip in 18 years, I did break the regular axle and free hub once in that time... But now with a heavy duty axle, thing is a beast.

    Because you can't control your bike yet I think most will agree it is easier to do long distances to front wheel, especially up gaps. Some gaps to front are impossible to rear...unless you're a beast like Carthy! love these vids

    I don't really care how long they are, it's just refreshing to see you ride. I think there are more than enough people putting out videos where 80% of the lines are gaps to front. I personally hate front gaps, only think it's for weak people who can't do it to rear like a real man. #AMERICUHHHH
  14. Love how they don't talk about the only video that really catapulted him. "Danny MacAskill is a street trials legend and has inspired hundreds of millions of people around the world with his YouTube viral videos like Cascadia (16 million views), Way Back Home (38 million views), The Ridge (44 million views) and Imaginate (56 million views)"
  15. I actually got to watch the video !
  16. Line the bars up with the head tube, that will make it feel almost close to 10% of a normal bike.
  17. Looking a little chunky there mate, have you started an american diet of pure corn syrup and lard? Still stiff as fuuuuu looking, I don't think that compression shirt is helping. I ride in XXXXL t shirts mostly, keeps me flowy and mad chill. Look hunched way forwards, but good job having progress. I'd roll those bars back about 50 degrees but again that's just my american way, on my way to mcdonalds right now. Let's see a picture of the camera "oh no" sayer

    Insane place to ride! Total heaven for TGS, nice beveled edges. you are slaying on that bike! Hope someday there will many many great options for 24" tires..
  19. Anyone with the Shimano xt / zee / SLX have a good lever feel? I went xt, lever was mushy shite. Even had the lbs bleed it- still mushy shite. Every single xt/SLX I've ever felt in bike shops (read- hundreds) are all mushy shite. I want to pull the lever till it hits, then have 0 movement towards the bar.. I want it to feel like a rock. I can't run any Maggie 4 finger lever because with the extra leverage - they are all mushy shite. I ran an early Saint front/rear for a month, it was rock solid and I loved that feeling. I was so sad to get the xt.. currently run avid bbdb (really makes a difference compared to new bb7), Trialtech pads, whatever 203 rotor, odyssey linear slic cable (it's cheaper than shite cable for me- $4 for the whole thing), sd7. Rock solid, never slips, love it. Granted been using this same set up for 14-15? Years..
  20. 2 year old footage and still top o the insanity levels. first lines were insanely beautiful.
  21. Says the pogo puff who can't ride a real bike! I slayed pogo puffs with my hex in a pure comp, without it ever feeling like the bummer zones comps can be. I was smiling, took dabs to put my headphones back in, pulled my largest 360 drop off in the middle of a section... Sat down on my seat mid section as I rolled. watch the first video, Aurelian is in a section as he "carves" those berms followed by the other gentleman. He's trying to go as fast as possible. Sticktrials are about as good on two wheels as the English were in world war two. If only I had an AI video drone to follow just me this thread would be more interesting.
  22. I'm just going to leave these here so you guys know what a great country I live in, if you PayPal me 50 pounds I'll send you a piece of my great countries soil and an autograph. dent we save u from the terrists? You ain't suckin hitlers dong no more.. Thank me.
  23. I don't even know what five guys is and haven't had a hamburger for 5+ years I've had mcdonalds once in my life, I was shit faced in college and a woman bought me it. Are you guys sure turkey isn't in the left side of Hungary!? Is England part of Europe ?
  24. Whatever bro, bet I can eat more McDonald's than you ever can. I bet American McDonalds is way better than the stuff you guys get too... Stronger beef, trump makes the burgers special. Edit.. Basically London to turkey and back for one comp. because it's the only comp America has a year. And here is a video from the ride you might find more interesting.
