Excellent pictures , I daresay you could have entered the recent photo cometition with that kind of quality . Incidentally , nice to see so many riders / members from outside the U.K , this is starting to become a truly international community now , which can only be good for a broad spectrum of opinions and interpretations of our sport .

Base's TA26 stock frame is supplied with a bashplate . Upon recieving it , I immediately removed and discarded it , but the mounting posts remained . These are pretty large chinks of solid alu under the downtube and B.B shell , so using an angle grinder I cut these down to within millimeters of the frame itself . Not so much weight saving , as cutting off excess fat that shouldn't have been there in the first place .

What Frames Are You "street Riders" Running?
Endohopper replied to Davetrials's topic in Trials Chat
I'm with Pauloliver on this one , Base's TA26 is a pretty underappreciated street frame . Sure , it's not one of the big brand fashionable companies , but this represents execellent value for money . Once the supplied bashplate has been discarded , you're left with a flickable bike that's obedient on the back wheel , and feels very stable . Also , many seniors on here ride / rode 'em . My streety / trialsy setup : -
How about ... These ? Also a few in the bike pics section here . Personally , I think they look much better in Black than the silver finish .

Good work guys , if a little underlit at times . Absurd move on the rail by the Ashton rider

Whoops , nice Base frame , incidentally .

Birthday ? This implies that he is mortal and was born unto humans . Impossible . Lord Martyn of Ashton was manufactured by a professor of Trickridingsology at a classified Government research facility to embody theoretical physicist's " experimental propulsion " concepts . I may be wrong though , in which case many congratulations to one of the greatest personalities in U.K riding . Martyn Ashton =

I currently live in Leiden ( a few miles from Amsterdam ) and go to Gangsterdam quite often , usually to accomodate U.K friends who come over . First thing I wanna say is : why always Amsterdam ? Sure it's a famous international city , but it's so damned tourist oriented ( fake + expensive ) and not at all representative of Holland as a whole . Go to Amsterdam centre and you'll find nothing but tourists lookin' for hash and whores . Check the Dam out , but if you're here for a week or so stay in a smaller town where these things are also available , but in a safer way , without masses of tourists and garish , shouty advertising . As for cannabis and coffeshops , if you wanna get ( kinda stoned lookin' ) try T H E S E places . Act mature , ask for the " menu " and enjoy yourselves . This a very sophisticated place , unlike many low budget , dark , techno playing shitholes I've sat in . Have fun , if you bring your bikes and wanna hook up for a ride like Bikedock's Gary did , P.M me .

Almost certain that you won't need a new hard disk , unless physically damaged . Any software problems - See suggestions above ( reinstall XP. )

Endohopper replied to fat-jake's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
If well manufactured / stylish , this will be a welcome addition , but you're up against some well established , big budget brands here . Interested to see how this turns out . -
So true , folks riding the latest superlight frame , taking no account of the bottle of water in the back pocket and toolkit + wallet and chain . That's not to mention fat , heavy skate shoes .

Not sure what speeds you achieve off Eengoedidee over in the U.K , but I always get around 6-700 Kb/sec off 'em . ( Holland ) What the Hell a Dutch site is doing hosting Trials videos I'll never understand though , 'cause there's no riding scene here whatsoever . Feel like the Village Idiot having to explain what the Hell I'm doing on an absurdly small bike hoppin' off walls all the time ... -
Just want to wish Revell bikes good luck with his project , I'm curious about the outcome , but most of all point out F-Stop Junkie's exemplary reply . This is why Seniors ARE promoted to senior , this reply has it all : great advice , well presented and answered the posted question in one . ( making this reply totally unneccesary ) A great example to the unvalidated here .

( incredibly small ) chain tool beats chainsaw ...

Neat idea , but " Gonna Crash " ( cannot recall by who , but I love it ) and Glasseye's Crash Compilation are gonna take some beating .

It seems that these decent rims just got better , and without the black paint / anodising they're now , like .14 of a gramme lighter . ( Possibly .)

Decent , love Tartybikes videos . The sound of that freewheel sounded great too , made me wanna go ride .That front wheel roll at 01 : 20 super smooth levitation vibe . Some skillful hooks in there too , well done .

Congratulations , really decent video with nice varied locations . Why is everyone so damnably good at sidehops ?

Gotta love Moto trials . That site sure does love mid - gap photos , lovin' this one of Vincy-poo resplendent in day glo neon yellow : Vincent still permitted to compete at U.C.I events ? Some neat clips here too .
