Onza carbon risers in 30" look great if you have them at the right angle lol BUT Zoo's are much better and will not break, look at tunni and cls - you have to ask yourself, how could they with anything less mental? Go for the Zoo's if you got the dosh

Trials IS long technical sections, but big moves and short lines are great... The sport has changed ever since cities, towns, streets and walls were invented

Yeah the new echo stuff is real nice, but quite pricey... New Zoo bikes look great, no news really from koxx, other than the blue race one with iluminous yellow rims... As sam said there's new echo 06 stuff, not much else to catch up on really... New vids on www.selectbikes.com and also look on there for new stuff... There's also: www.koxx.fr www.zoobike.com www.echobike.com www.tartybikes.com If you wanna check out some changes Nathan

Brett's arse is well sexy in those pics Nathan

Check the vids on www.biketrials.com and there is also a bt video with some interesting riding of a guy on a koxx, mental! Nathan

Another thing I love about trials is when you go somewhere and meet loads of riders who you don't know for sh*t and end up being real good mates by the end of the day... For example I rode with some guys at cromer carnival and met this guy called Adrian from sherringham, and we're still in touch, in fact he rang me the other day and asked if I wanted to go to a big ride in Sherringham, however I was unfortunately 70 miles away at home... Nathan...

I widh I could do english essays about trials riding instead of the crap we're doing at the minute like; "A view from the brigde" by Arthur Miller And shakespeare, what a load of crap, honestly! Anyway I ride trials because I love the feeling of accomplishment (a good word, might get you a few marks ) and because I love seeing other people do things Nathan

Oh man that is soooo bads, if I find 'em I'll kill 'em too SO BLOODY EVIL

Offer low, £350, then go for about £400, if not then something like £470, don't go any higher than 500, tell him if he's trying to push you over 500 that you've found a place you can get 'em new for that Nathan

Natural is good when you can find it, but its not like street... Street is more doing tricks on things, natural is more of "make it up there/down there in whatever way you can" Nathan...

Yeah I visit the forum and check everything and everyone, or I browse places like crc + ebay looking for new parts... I fiddle with my bike too, I also think whether there's any things I could be doing that I've been meaning to do for a while... like cleaning out maggie pistons or cleaning out disc caliper... Nathan

I think this nearly happened to me, be very very careful but you may be ok to keep using them... If you know anyone who works professionally in metal, they may be able to drill out the threads, then make a comfy tapped insert that can be slotted into the frame and secured... Only try to do this if it's really nackered, or try to claim on warranty/guarantee... Hope this helps, Nathan PS: Fingers crossed it SHOULD be ok...

My freak factory pedals have been through some real tough riding for 8 years now from my two brothers and me, on two different bikes... They have also stripped two crankset threads... They keep taking my riding too... After riding my mate's t-mag I was unsure whether to get onza shin digs, as if you fall off they are EXTREMELY painful... I think DMR V12's (or mag V12's if you can afford it) are your best bet... Nathan

I don't really go anywhere but if I bike into peterborough (about 7 miles away) I take; Puncture repair kit/spare inni Allen keys Water/squash Any food I need Money A rucksack to help carry it all My own personal servant to carry my rucksack for me Nathan

Ashton and Hawyesie are both pretty fit, you should see them in their fancy dress outfits on tricks and stunts, bloody hell... Nathan

Anyone ever tried tar/monty brake spray with a grind and half decent pads, might give it a go if I learn how to grind my rims... Nathan

I get bad wrists, top of my feet were hurting today, and my arms tense up sometimes and it stops me riding because its so painful... If you find your wrists a real problem, look around for some protection or wear bandages Nathan

I would love to do that, then I could learn to sidehop... However, I live in peterborough and the likelyhood of there being a grassy slope (let alone a hill) in this area is rather slim...

I ride: Zoo pitbull 05 1060 Current stem: 40 deg 80mm (I hate it) Getting: FSA Stem with simalar spec to the zoo stock stem Would recommend: Zoo CNC Stem I figured that a zoo stem would perhaps be best for a zoo frame made in the same year However I do not run bulge bars and I do not have 75 quid to spend on a new zoo stem and a set of bars... Nathan

Cool vid man, how did you manage to fall off after them drops lol Just the way your hand pinged off the bar So funny

Its ok for stuff like that, but be careful when you advance to better moves...

You probably could get away with 122 indeed, however I'd play same and get a 125+ No point in ending up with large chunks taken out of your frame like I did

There's a bloke selling a giant trials team, here's the link, pm him as the topic's quite old (if you're interested of course) They're light and fairly good for trials, looks like this one's going cheap too http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....showtopic=68504 Nathan

Might be able to fetch a bit for it on ebay mate, otherwise just post it inot loads of other trials forums to try and get rid... There are loads and loads of beginner riders out there who want one Nathan

Hello mate, the best thing to do on this forum is be really helpful and nice all the time, then you can get promoted to a member, then the best thing to do is still be really nice and helpful all the time, you will find nearly everyone does that here hehe Nathan, oh and welcome
