STEVE-0

I officially hate that frame now, after two of my mates getting one and both being horrible to ride...zona zip move is a very good idea my mate did the same and it ride soooo much better. Bodge is shameful...

I dont think i could lift that if i tired, looks cemented to the ground by its weight and appers to be spashed in the middle like some fat geezer has sat on it. Stem looks perfect length as well - the days when stocks had a bash guard - double disk! - crankset ??? Steve

The pictures are still pretty small Anyway love the look of the bike but wants some silver zoo! bars desperately to finish it off...

Well apart from the last picture (which it the crap side) the bike looks really nice! I really like the shape and simplicity of the Aorta's, how does the V feel on the front?

indeed, and the yellow rim tape looks gash Nice paint job though Steve

Looks a nice set up there, could do with a new front tyre and maybe front rim but im sure it rides nice, the new parts set it off for sure

Indeed...front end looks nice - add the same rim to the back and you have a winner!

Bike looks really nice, the seat is almost invisible Loving the look of the forks but get rid of the front tyre, please... Steve

Whats the weight like of it, i always feel like mine weighs me down...and the front hub looks identical to stephen morris' rear hub! Steve

No offense dude but that video was absolutely crap! More than half the video was of nothing and most of the actual riding you never made it, was pretty much a bail video. Make sure there is an improvement to the next 1 Steve

Very nice stuff, smooth as ever with lots more cool lines. I liked the one at the end of the second video, where it almost looks like you are going all the way up, but still ace... Some of the technical stuff looks so weird on a 24" but very cool Steve

Another nice video. Liking the editing lots and a few cool lines there, like the 180 thing on that wall. Looks a cool place to ride... Steve

52inches of TV in your room! Mines like 18" normal... And the biggest TV we have is i dunno 32" tube...

Thats more like it, i was a bit disappointed after TRAustria but that was much better, even though it did have some of the same stuff. The back wheel on the mod was HUGE! shitty audience... Beastyily long again as usual Steve

Ace vid! Some really nice work there, liking the editing lots and filming...was proper cool! The stacks were great and i loved the way you put them into the video. I swear i recognise you from London around where the gardener statue is (minus the helmet and gloves): i think you had Martin Haywes' old giant trials team (yellow) ??? Loved the vid Steve

Overkill is one way of putting it! The size of that lever is riDICulous! You could probably snap your bars by putting that beast at one end of them... Mint colour though Steve

That video was crapped compared with the others, was so slow... And it had me in it again even though I made a stack vide so wtf... Hope for an improvement soon

Right....I forgot to cut of the slips on the entry forms with details (dumbass) I know the next comp is in Chelmsford on the 18th June but when does it start??? And i need to know about the penshurst trial, time? date? Thanks alot Steve

Yea you improved fast! Getting those hooks and drop gaps...some nice side hops also! Nice vid, made me go a bit epleptic though... Steve

How do you plan on doing that... just give it your best shot mate. Steve

Definetly a nicer colour than previously but need to get rid of the V-brake mount, although to be honest i've never been grabbed by the BT in someway...it just seems kinda boring really... I dont think it will make much different to sales.

42" is quite high to start tapping on, bar height is always a good start but 1 thing I've realised recently is that the whole technique changes the higher you go! It seems quite easy and simple to do bar height because its just like bunnyhopping/wheeliehopping but much easier to get the height. On bigger stuff, the technique is much like a bunnyhop but with pedalling. The aim is to get a rythmn where the bump/tap (more of a bump) to actually carry you up the wall! Trying to visualise always helps (see TRA's article) maybe someone that has a good technique...then start off not too far away from the wall because you want to go up not forwards! Hit the wall at a comfortable angle where you then explode into the bars with your hips (the key) and extend your arms and feet ready to land. Remember NO FRONT BRAKE. Then you will end up stacking it. Hope i've helped - took me ages to work that lot out.

Looks abit OTT but if it does the job... When i made mine i had very little tyre clearance making it lighter and stronger... Steve

Looks soundo mate! I love that simple look Steve

That is one beasty bike you have there, some proper nice parts but its not my cup of tea...i really don't like the colour of that frame, could do with a respray and that front rim is just a bit just some tiding up jobs... Steve Its nicer than them two though ^^^^^^^^^
