    Music Wanted

    Music Wanted

    bolded the ones I've used...who used joy division and that les savy song? I've used both bands, but different songs...
  13. i have no idea why i read this title as "masturbating the art of trials" :shifty: :P will be a great vid for beginners :rip:
  14. the XTP copy as you call it, is vinces new bike... a bit higher bb to start. I believe they are only selling it as a complete bike to start, kind of strange if you ask me.
  15. http://www.observedtrials.net/vb/local_lin...n=links&catid=4 link to my vids, there are quite a few that haven't been added...you have to be an OTN member to view it (Y)

    Power?

    it is very explosive and has high risk of pulling a muscle or other injury if you don't know what you are doing/do the technique wrong.

    Power?

    I should add that strength doesn't mean doing 500 lb deadlifts...but functional strength. You could be strong as hell in the weightroom, but you can't necessarily translate that strength onto a bike because you aren't trained to use your strength in the right way....which is where technique comes in.

    Power?

    One thing vincent said, that most of us guys from fort collins are much stronger than he is...but we don't have the technique. He said if we had the same technique we could go higher because of our power. At the top level, once we have thousands of riders trying to be that level, genetics will play a factor (right now we jsut have a few dozen riders riding at that level)...right now the balance between technique/mental/power is the most important thing for those at the top...many have technique and power, but not the mental aspect- or technique and a good mind but no power. Very few have mastered all 3.

    Power?

    Maybe if they had dropped out of school at 5 years old to train trials they would be as good as the rest B) There aren't enough riders in trials for genetics to separate the great from the poor YET. It's still in its severe infancy.

    Power?

    If you want to see something funny....before you go to bed every night, do 2 sets of 10 jumps as high as you can possibly go. After a month you will be jumping alot higher (for example when I did this I gained ~4")- and you will notice a big difference in your riding. This is the most basic form of training for explosiveness...I could give you 40 page articles on plyometrics and dynamic stretching and all kinds of info that would hurt your brain. You are only born with a certain amount of fast twitch muscle fibers but you can train them.
  21. nah it'll be a free video. Right now its got extra footage from vinces 2004 stuff, some teva games stuff from last year, kieta competition footage, and probably some more vince 2005 extras.
  22. Go watch my earlier films ( ftc 1, 2) and see if you agree (Y) I have made many changes in editing, especially from feedback since the koxx days videos- but they are very subtle indeed. My camera is a cannon optura 20...kind of old. IMO camera makes no difference in the movie you are making :D Everyone wait for ftc 6, once i get around to finishing it....at one point in my life I wanted to do a monthly trials video magazine, this is kind of an offshoot of it. Lots of footage..
  23. no help....an interesting strato dab...
