Lies, you hit the rock and your batteries fell out so they had to stop filming while they were reinstalled.

Thanks for that Adam Givin' it beans! Had a great ride and only got slightly sunburnt

I'll be coming down on Sat, just gotta remember to send the form in tomorrow

I bet hes got a set of allen keys in his bum bag there

You could go the 24" bmx route: (Felt Brink 24") I've been riding mine more than my trials bike recently. The whole bike was £230 delivered and is great for a bit of street/skatepark/bmx track. Had to change the rear rim though has they are made of cheese and added a few things off my inspired to make it pimper

Yea, they make the back end short so its still easy to hop but it makes it a bit twitchy to manual. I'm crap at manuals in general though

I'm 6'5" and used to ride an Inspired It wasn't ideally suited to tgs, natural, etc but then thats not why I bought it. It'd say its better than any current 26 for "streety" stuff as most 26" are geared towards tgs these days. It only ever felt a bit cramped to me for gapping but I could still manage it. Oh and I had a zebdi back in the day which had a similar wheelbase but was definately worse to ride than an inspired.

Agreed, he does trials on what most people would call a regular mountain bike, not a pogo stick with wheels at either end. The public can identify with this better.

ooooooorrrrrrr rooooiiiiiiight Kyle!

It certainly looks like it was "Inspired" by other frame designs looks nice, although slick tyres are the way forward on 24"ers.

I've had the same king since Oct 2003 and its been awesome! Skips are very rare, generally if it is skipping it needs servicing. Before my King I destroyed several Hope XC and Bulb hubs. I've also had a Pro 2 and didn't get a single skip out of that. I'd say if you have the cash, get a king but if you are on a budget get a pro 2, or a ffw (never had one personally).

http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....howtopic=141145 - (shameless plug) You could try a completely different style of riding? Go out and do some XC, trails, bmx, etc? Change is as good as a rest.

If you are just learning it just sounds like a technique problem that you will iron out. You may need to change your body position so you are over the back wheel more and don't put as much stress on your arms to keep the front up.

930k views on youtube This "parkour on bikes", its going to be HUGE I tell you!

Just recovered from watching it... Stunning example of uk trials. I need to go ride now.

If ur wrists ache it usually means the bars are too far forward. I found that with the old Echo bars when I first got em. I originally had risers then switched to flats as 31.8 risers were rare back in the day. Now they are common everyone switched back to risers.

I'd be really interested to see how one rides with suspension set up for dirt jumping.

I'll probably be around for a ride in the evening, or at the weekend. I'll tell Stan if he doesn't read this first

Tartybikes also do a King hub service.

I think I can help with that... http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....ils&id=1612 BTW, what happened to Brisa bikes?

Thats exactly what I have. I've had an inspired for about a year and am nearly finished building up an old zoo. The inspired will be my main bike as i mostly ride street and the zoo will be for natural. I do find the inspired a bit harder to sidehop and gap than a longer bike but then I am 6'5" If you have the opportunity, try one before you buy one. The Inspired really does feel awesome to ride; It feels really maneuverable and flicky without being twitchy like a mod. If you watch how people ride them in videos, they are all about flow rather than static moves and hopping.

Are u using Internet Explorer? IE 7 and 8 fails at displaying the site I found it works ok in: Firefox (3.x) Chrome Opera IPhone (Safari?) UPDATE: IE7 ! edit: I went on a coding spree last night and added in a few videos as well

What you need is an inspired!

Yeah Matt had a few mods in the past. I told him when he grew up he could get a proper bike and look at him now BTW, thats a DMR top that Stan is in
