when your tapping the slacker the head angle the lower you can hit the wall without going over the bars headfirst into the wall. i think if you had a fully straight forks (no rake) you would have to have the head angle so slack, it would just feel like so very crap on two wheels, but then is a trials bike is that important? Probably not as much as say a bmx or mountain bike, but i think the steering would end up so sluggish....nah just not nice mike

yeah I have often wondered this too. I think its because on average people tend not to go as big on natural than they would street. But yeah seeing waynio , ali c, bucky and others ride natural, you wouldn't be under the impression that natural is less stressfull on a bike. Mike

If you change the head angle of a bike and use the same bar and stem, you will feel the difference. The tighter the head angle the longer the reach will be. but if you use a differnt stem to get the same reach then no the bike won't feel different, especially on the bike wheel. A slacker head angle is better for hooks and taps, but a tigher one feel better on two wheels (IMO especially as I like quicker steerer) and is also 'better' on the front wheel! Hope that helps in some way Mike

i had to make it a picture so i could post it..... # Mike

sure do (Y) mike

so, dude whats it like to ride? :blink:

i am sure that the law is (or at least was a few years ago) that you can use whatever music you want, if you don't make money off it! AND credit the correct artist, label, etc! but they are not really downloading the song though, you can't really get the song of the video and put it on your ipod or whatever (well you could in theory, but it would be crap...) It may have changed, needs some research not gonna do it now because of my bed tempting me :blink: but wll have a look on internet tomorrow

yeah sounds good mr lee! Pretty much gotta either have one mother trucker of a road trip :( or have two separate ones (which may be better in a way because then more people could get to at least one) but yeah we need to organise it soon and i agree agust would be a good time to go! bUt yeah we need the first annual roadtrip meeting :) :D good on you lee for trying to get the ball rolling as they say :) :P its gonna be sweet whatever we do so tired............................bed calling night mike :blink:

I think we can if we don't charge for it :blink: because there is a option to charge for your videos to be downloaded on this new google thing! mike

ooooohhhhh i got one 'Did you hear about the michael jackson blackmail alligations?' 'I think its true, i think he was one once!' :S

hahaha danny rocks on that px on his! put a rail gap in there and he will easily win a comp :( the ashton is cool about 1060 Wayne, Whats the deal with 24"ers at the moment, could i ride inter on it? Would it be out of class? I heard you have to ride out of class in novice/beginner, this true? I don't wanna do that :) But I should enter at least one, just to say i have done :ermm: Mike

is that an interlock chain? how are you finding it? nice front signiture front tyre too :ermm: mike

too many!! I dunno about 10 gb easily! I need to delete some that i don't watch :ermm: that said if i count footage straight off my camera, uncompressed and stuff, near 80 gigs :( mike

thats nice ali :ermm: nice white tires too :(" :D I would mind having a go on it! Get some pics/vids of you rding it too :) please Is that a proper giro for the back brake? Or a bodge? I have a a vee on my crusier with a giro and it felt terrible tto, took giro off and just run a longer cable. But yeah i think giros don't move enough for the extra cable pull that vee's need and so feel wank mike

wow this sounds great! Rumours are about of an indoor one in leeds (along with mtb skatepark/dirt jumps too) :o its all good mike p.s. - welcome to the proper bit of trials forum danny :)

since this has turned into a Dickies trading thread :o anyone got any black (I wish they did pinstripe :)) ones for sale? 32/33inch waist + long leg? Ta Mike

I would rather not look like a chav/ned/whatever :o plus trackies rip so easily! I wear £20 black burton jeans, which are pretty decent! I also have a pair of mecca jeans, which are going on six years old :o wanna try some dickies though for summer, because they are a bit lighter than jeans (Y) mike

got the vid now :) and thats how goddamn full sus rigs should be rode in the streets :o

Its Dickies that you want :o

thats cool, gonna have to check out the repeat

any chance of a shack? :o

true but even that doesn't have stuff like wheelswaps, taps, hooks, replacing, big side hops, stuff to front wheel, etc, etc mike

Great idea, if the riders would be willing to do it! (N)

(N) cool vid dude! I enjoyed it, some nice lines and variation in moves your bowling is good too Mike
