I think flat would easiest to learn on... Thats how i learned anyway, getting pretty good at them now. Practice

Nice vid mate, also is the tune Infected Mushroom? Brings back fond memories!
-
You should have a think about what size you really want matey.

Yeah yeah, only heard of it from those buzzcocks videos on YouTube. Sure we drive past the turn in for it on the way to Newcastle, I've never been there before though
-
Ah I see, that would have probably been a great help to me. Where abouts are you?

Berwick upon tweed, little town right on the border of England and Scotland.

Yeah pretty happy with my rate of progress as I ride alone and hadn't been on a bike since I had a bmx as a kid . I'm really enjoying this though. Just need to get my balance a lot better... Time.

http://twitvid.com/ZYUAD my first drop. Very sketchy yes. But day 4 of riding . Plus my ones after that were smoother I just never filmed them. Wanted my first attempt on camera is all. Thought I'd share.

How Many Times Have People Fallen This Week
Floydian replied to T-birder's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
I went over the handle bars today. That was fun. First fall! -
It's brand new it should be well greased shouldn't it? I wouldn't know how to take that apart if I'm honest anyway haha. Also chain seems pretty tight. I will try pitting it a bit tighter and see how I get on, thank you. Putting it sorry not pitting.

Is it normal? It's clear I'm very new to this and my understanding of bikes at all is very limited but when I peddal there is a couple of clicks coming from my cranks. It's not a concern but should it be? Thanks guys
-
Sorted! Clearly a much higher quality one. Been out today, done a little drop and just practicing hopping on the back wheel. Going for a couple of pints now then back on for another hour or so! Great fun this is, shame no one else in my area does it.

I've recently bought a zoot and it's brilliant. Only been out on it twice though as the chain tugs snapped so yeah if you order buy new tugs too... But it's easy to learn on I learned to peddal kick on day one. Obviously haven't got the balance sorted but I can do about 4 in a row and get the back wheel to land perfectly on all the lines on the ground I was practicing by. I think it's great for beginners like me

Similar amp to mine, with eltax floor standers I wouldn't go back from these now, I used to just have my audio coming through a pair or logitech speakers, never realised how terrible they were until I got these. You will also need speaker cable which if you buy decent stuff will set you back a bit again. Though cheap stuff will get you by. So I agree on getting floorstanding speakers, crisp and perfect sound.

Oh right, I dunno what's budget or not, just assumed with it being a contract phone he would get the choice of one for free. I got this one on contract, I'm pretty sure I could have chosen this other phone and no doubt works the same way for him. But alas I don't know, just assuming.

I'll get a picture up tomorrow, hopefully it is just the tensioner. but as i say its not just slipping forward a little bit its a loud ping and the nut that holds the wheel in place slams forward as far as it can go on the frame. I know very little about bikes so really have no clue what the issue is haha
-
With a bit of luck you will. I recommend the iPhone 4 if you get the chance, its got a great selection of applications and real good quality video. iOS 5 will also be released soon which brings wireless syncing along! amongst other things.
-
Pictures of my bike? Umm I dont no, i'm sure it will look like yours though! minus any chain tensioners .
-
excellent thank you very much, we will see how i get on. great fun this trials looking forward to improving.
-
Yeah im going to buy them this week, I can fore see the same thing happening again though as (I dunno if im right or not) they aren't essential are they? shouldnt i still be able to ride without them. thank you for the reply. I know its not much to waste, it would just frustrate me if it were to happen again haha.

Recently bought an onza zoot online, new. So the bike came and I set it up, tightened everything and went out for a shot, everything was fine. Took it out about a week later and my chain became really loose when I was riding. So I took the bike home, tightened everything up and went back out, when I went to kick onto the back wheel one of my chain tensioners snapped clean off. So I took the other one off and re tightened the wheel without them. Now I can cycle the bike flat, but every time I go to kick onto the back wheel or put too much pressure on the chain it simply pulls my back wheel forward with a loud ping. It only pulls the chain side forward too, the left hand nut stays in strong. I'm pretty upset about the fact I can't get out on it after two days so any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much. -John Brown
