  1. Nice looking bicycle , although that derailleur looks rather large.Who manufactures that fork ? If it's Leeson , don't mind me,I'm daft.
  2. Really good photos indeed.I'm really fond of seeing photo posts (no offence to the gallery system.)The one of Endofreak gapping is particularly well done,it's desktop background worthy.
  3. Great and very true article. What is our sport without the social aspect and mutual encouragement?Even when competitive,there remains huge admiration for fellow competitors.Guess that's the true nature of sportsmanship. We should indeed be welcoming and informative to " outsiders,"instead of being uniformly dismissive of other groups.This is what will allow trials to grow and be increasingly accepted.
  4. Sorry to hear that,dude.I replaced my Base's mech hanger with a G.T '03 hanger.Certain Sintesi hangers are also identical.I did work at a bike shop at the time,so had time to sort through their spares collection.Hope this helps.Failing that,contact Bikedock.
  5. It's immediately recognisable as a scam,and a rather unconvincing one at that.It's so poorly presented,featuring loads of spelling mistakes... (Y)

    be

    WOW !Shame,really nice frame,apart from the snappage.Hope you didn't injure yourself.
  7. Coolest pair of DC sneakers ever !Well funny.He goes on to say Quote : " the only bad side is that they stick to the pedals so good it actualy realy difficalt to bail"
  8. When you ride , what exactly goes throught your head?Sometimes (usually when I ride alone) I can really focus ,visualize and think myself into riding well.(by my standards.)Riding being pretty physically demanding, my mind kinda goes into instinctive mode,and allows the body to take more control.Damn,can't really explain what I mean by that.It's like sometimes when riding I concentrate on some tune or lyric in my head,and so seem to ride better ,in some zen-like way.I won't even go into factors like adrenaline, confidence or wanting to impress chicks :"> .I hear some athletes speak of "flow" ,but Trials is kinda more abrupt hop stop drop hop etc...What do you think ?
  9. Yeah,apart from the poor video quality,it could have been filmed yesterday.Nice twisty dropoff thingy off the ramp spine.Makes me wonder how we'll feel about contemporary footage in a further 4 years from now.
  10. Wish I had a better camera :"> .Really decent photos,dude.By the way,I gotta ask...Your Name is "Brisa " ,your sig is Base TA26 Rider,and you appear to be hopping around on a Koxx.Wish I had 3 good bikes too.
  11. Crankflippin' heck...talk about skilled riders. :o Watching these guys backflippin' and barspinning all over the ramps is awesome.Makes me wonder if I made the right choice with Trials riding...Nah,only kidding,but this does look Ubercool.Nice one,that's a keeper.
  12. Damn,Ashton really is so bleeding talented,and this is a really relaxed little vid.Nearly broke his back and he still rides unbelievably.Shame really for Matin Hawyes,who is in his own right a fine rider,but being associated with Ashton kinda makes it hard for him to shine.I was in the Animal clothing shop in Guildford recently,and they have a framed riding shirt signed by Sir Martyn of Ashton.I asked them if it's for sale ,but they said no so I took photos instead. :"> The guy's a legend.

    My Base TA26

    I love seeing Bases.Nice build on this one too,but I'm concerned about weakening the back end by not using a seatpost.I'd like to run mine sans saddle aswell,prefferably cutting the seattube right down,like Trials Punk.Does doing this put more stress on the back end,perhaps allowing the seatstays to push into the seattube?I'd like to see a photo of yours ,Punk.How did you cover the resulting hole?
