  1. Sweet little video Ads The first bail is awesome. Complete and utter wipeout! Cap is back and still bashing better than ever. He's now also joined the Winship and got himself a Pure
  2. Get off your high horse and open your eyes a bit more.
  3. It's not nice having to clean up after your mums stayed over..
  4. Yeah the frame is about 20mm shorter in the wheel base and has a shorter rear end. It's more like my old Hydroxx and feels sweet. No news on the front tyre yet. I hope they do release it, because it is awesome. Same compound as the Der Kaiser, and low profile means it grips like shit to a blanket.
  5. I've had my lever for over a year and its been fine. A few of the earlier Echo slave cylinders leaked, but I run Magura ones because they have more adjustment anyway. You have the mod the blade slightly for it to fit, yeah. Just simply file down one of the nubs that is near the mounting hole to make it fit. Glad you like the riding! Hopefully get some more decent stuff out soon. Front brake is simply awesome. It's very light, works extremely well and consistantely feels the same at the lever.
  6. Hahah, still got my brakeless Inspired. In fact the other night, me and Mark were doing a bit of an indoor brakeless challenge
  7. Frame is suprisingley stiff. The tubing is thicker than my last two frames (Sky/Hydroxx2) so that helps, but the brake feels just as stiff too. The design of the Echo is very neat and simple and the rear end is compact so there isn't a lot of room for any give.
  8. Just some random material I'm trying out.
  9. Nice one Mark. Frame is awesome, as is the spec. I'm very happy with this bike. I've not rode much "normal trials" recently, but this bike has got me going again. Starting to get used to it now and will try and sort a proper video out.
  10. Awesome video that. Riding was top notch and some of the lines are huge. The hot sun etc makes me jealous! Looking forward to the 2nd part...
  11. Awesome riding as usual. Much prefer Dani on 20". He's got style and power which is sometimes difficult to show on a mod.
  12. Nice one James. Good variety of spots and moves which is cool.
  13. I enjoyed that. I like the snow and the fact you could see the conditions are pretty challenging. The setup with the rocks etc looks really good too.
  14. Awesome video. The power and technique Benito has is amazing. Loved it.
  15. Amazing. Absolutely inspiring video from all aspects. Locations were a breath of fresh air, music worked perfectly and the riding was next level. I want to go ride now.
  16. Random obstacle and probably the last thing I'd ride when up at the quarry. There is so much more to do.. The only reason I was on it is because there is a photographer for the council just out of shot who wanted to show that it is "being used" by riders haha! Also explains my 4 day trackstand!
  17. Loving that massive seat! I'll dig out some photos
  18. I would probably say around a few weeks. At first it is very weird as I'm sure Mark will remember my first ride at Blackpool You also tend to overshoot everything haha. Once you've got your head around it, it's just a case of applying what skill you already have but without brakes. Certain moves need tweaking for them to work without brakes. I think it also improves your commitment to pulling lines and reacting to what the bikes doing. With brakes you can generally stop for a second or two and think what you need to do, but without brakes you don't get that, and that's one of things I like most about brakeless riding. Again, thanks for the comments everyone, they are very much appreciated!
  19. That was sweet Joe. Nice danger wheelie hop on that rail
  20. Only 3 days... But yeah I'm still riding the 26" mainly on natural though. Thanks for comments so far. Can't wait to start filming the next one, if it's as much fun as this one was.
  21. Yey! it's finally done. Have enjoyed making this video soo much, from all the props to just riding and finding new stuff to ride, it's been awesome.
