  1. I am sure someone has already said (its late and I dont want to look through 3 pages) but I recken a Leeson would be puuurfect. You could ask for the exact geo you wanted, frame size, saddle, everything. bit exspensive though
  2. I am a pretty much natural only rider, but due to lack of transport I have been riding a bit of street. I rode some railwaylines the other day and did some cool stuff (to my suprise as I thought it would be a lot harder) When I said the stuff he does isnt hard, I dont mean anyone can just go out and do it, but if I had a few weeks to practise, then a good few of the moves could be done (not all because some are rock hard), it took me half an hour to learn to rear wheel a wall, drop to bash, then go to rear again. I am building up a 24" bike at the mo so I can go out and do streety/bmxy stuff as my bike is deffo not setup for that style. so in conclusion: he is a VERY good rider, does some really sick stuff, but I dont think its as good or as hard as a lot of people make it out to be.
  3. didnt like it. He is a good rider and when I am out riding I try not to do many corection hops. but theres just somthing about him that puts me off. his style of riding isnt that hard, just get a nice short bike and voila! I remember watching him in revoloution and evolve and cringing when he landed drops like a sack of spuds :turned: but I am sure hes better at them now.
  4. I ran some 3" manitous on a pashley, but it was setup as a dirt bike then. I was pretty nice, but I deffo wouldnt have wanted to ride trials on it.

    sorry guys, I thought it was one of the crappest vids I have seen. I spent aaages downloading it watching once (barley) and was really dissapointed, I then deleted it.
  6. sure thing tom, we can have a little comp :ermm:
  7. ayeup...........the train either gets in at half ten or half eleven. I am wanting to get the later train, but I nedd to tell waddy. cya there
  8. yeah, us lot from middle country will try to get at preston station at 11ish, if theres no one there I will ring merlin riders mobile. I cant wait, although my bike needs some attention, I am gonna be sneaky and do it at work tomorrow (N)
  9. bestest frame in the whole wide world that I have ridden is a koxx kenny beleay
  10. wrong frame, thats the hi fi and echo team that have that headtube. the control has just a normal setup like the pure, seriously strong frames
  11. 2nd best riding frame I have ridden and I have tried a lot of frames.
  12. well, I thought the zoo python was the worst riding bike I have ever been on, and I have tried a few. The echo team is ok, not the nicest I have ridden. I MUCH prefer the ride of montys, they just feel sooooo much better than any other mod I have ridden I personally dont see the point in long mods, they dont seem to have any advantages over short ones in my view. If they are too cramped, get a 26"
  13. you gotta tell me where that button is, I would really like to see some of the moves I have in vids in slow mo!! as for the vid in question, I split it into two categorys Good: riding, massive gaps, taps, sidehops and bunnyhops, very impressive errrrm, it was free Bad MUSIC!! editing could have been better repetative to be honest, I prefered some of your last vids more. but thanks for taking the time to make it :blink:
  14. yeah, the more the merrier, preston is ace for riding. got you wheel sorted kyle?
  15. I wanna ride preston......either sat or sunday is good, let me know what day your going. I would try to be there for 11 (I have no idea where to go from the station though)
  16. lol, I have never used a jig (Y) I just put the wheel in an old frame or fork and put a zip tie around ao there is a bit sticking out towards the rim, works well.
  17. I build my wheels,,took a few botched efforts to eventually get it right. My front wheel hasnt had to be touched for months (Y)
  18. who cares what it looks like as long as it works, trials isnt about how things look you know :P
  19. I saw these pics and thought of you. this is my community service to you all.
  20. lovely........................Your ridings comming on leaps and bounds. I remember watching your first vid on the blue px (or base, cant remember). hard to believe its the same rider :P I thought the music was mint, and it was edited really well to it. a keeper
  21. thats what I miss for not watching the news or listening to the radio :P
  22. what earthquakes? have I missed somthing? :P
  23. Blazing Saddles in hebden bridge is good, they have at least two t pros in stock now (I built them :P ) not too far from leeds either or get it from tartybikes, is an excellent shop, but online only.
