    Vids

    As long as the vid is well thought out, carefully filmed and not too cheesy I'm fine with it, and as for music, anything other than totally annoying crap like on the trialsworld bali video ;) "Bali in my eyes" - crap! You'll never get everyone to love a vid, noeons prefcet ;)

    Side

    Only just learnt 180's myself without a pedal kick on my new pitbull, the only advice I can give is keep checking your thread and someone with more experience than me should come along ;) Good luck learning and happy riding ;) :)
  3. Need to do some weights lol ;) Is there any proper ways to strengthen your finger other than practising one finger braking...? Cheers again ;)
  4. errrrrrr its just an old olympia one - pic here: http://photobucket.com/albums/v15/SeanT/Na...nt=DSCF1251.jpg I've had a look at the blades they look pretty mad... I might email him and ask how to make one ;) But mine would be flat bar side so that it doesn't cut my finger :) ;) I don't think I'll try and make one myself it could be quite tricky... I've moved my lever in already but sometimes I still crush my third finger (I use two for braking) ;)
  5. I was thinking of somehow moulding a custom lever blade for my maggie, one that doesn't crush your fingers betweeen lever and bar if it decides to undo itself like it does, or if the frame flexes... I'm planning on getting a four bolt booster soon, but has anyone ever thought about it before? If not, do you like the idea? Cheers, Nathan ;)

    Progress?

    I'm 14 I started last year but I'm not all that good. I've just got my new pitbull frame and its loovely on the rear wheel, I made a stupidly large amount of progress in drops since the summer. I went from dropping off 2 foot walls to 6 foot funboxes... I am hoping to start doing some lurch drops soon... Looking mostly at phone boxes and roofs by summer... My mate got on my pitbull yesterday (before my chainring broke) and did an unusually large amount of backhops compared top on his mission... but he's getting a t mag 05 on friday when I get my new cranks so hopefully we'll be out riding together... ;) ;)
  7. Well thank you but only for people who want to learn how to gap to front wheel... B) :- B)
  8. I would offer but I run a D521 with a pitbull frame and I've had to do a pad bodge to make the brake actually work so they wouldn't work anyway... :- Get some made that are about 30mm long will you!!!!! B)
  9. I just got hold of an 18 tooth surly after getting my 16 with my dmr spacer kit and found it too high ratio... Getting an 18tooth front cog now, so I'll be running 18-18 :- how fun B)

    Compatible?

    I have also just realised a huuuge amount of frame flex on the pitbull, would an evo booster work or do I need to buy a 4 bolt 1? Cheers again lads, Nathan :-

    Toxsin 24"

    Yer defo!!! Make the seat stays thin enough so that people with D521's dont have to do a pad bogde with super-glue to make their maggie work properly :- B)

    Compatible?

    My chainring snapped earlier after a bodge on my new pitbull.... (shit onza cranks) So I've ordered a new kooka muscleman crankset with an echo 18 tooth cog... Please let me know if it isn't compatible so I can cancel the order however I'm pretty sure it is.... :- Cheers lads... B) Also here's a pic of my bike as it stands... Comment if you wish.... http://photobucket.com/albums/v15/SeanT/Na...nt=DSCF1255.jpg I think its looovely.... personally B)

  17. I dont have a clue how to gap to front wheel and I cant find anything on any sites, can anyone help me Also hopping up to front wheel... Cant do that either Many thanks, Nathan :lol:
  18. Hi all, Just ordered my brand new zoo pitbull 1060 05 from select bikes with a shiny new echo headset, set my dad back £316.00 :lol: B) Also... A quick spec on monty brake spray... Just got some in from bikedock, and found out the hard way not to put too much on... On the back wheel lurching up a wall, pads stuck, over the bars, throat on front tyre, shin on wall (no pads) and hands on sharp stones... Then I hopped up the wall to manual and didn't cover my back brake, landed straight on my arse and cut my arm for the second time this week... But its all good I'm all better now B) At least now I know..... Comments anyone? PS my mate's getting a nice new onza t mag 05 this week, what you think of 'em? (Y) (Y) Cheers lads (Y) (Y)

    Short Or Long

    Yer I said it was a quick one :turned: I did mean the pitbull and yeah I do do mostly street so I might go for the shorter version, and I'm quite short myself :P :P I also have forks that stick out about 7mm so... i'll get the short, cheers dude (Y) :D
  20. I have decided on a zoo python over the justice I was planning to get in the next couple of weeks, I was wondering whether to get 1060 or 1080 becuase I have a 1065 at the mo and a weird stem, which would be better for streety wall riding :turned: :P Bit of a gay post but I did it quick, cheers lads (Y)
  21. I got my olympia magura today off my mate and I'm ordering some monty brake spray at the mo B) :P I just wondered if there is any lever reach adjustment on the old things, could anyone help... cheers, nathan :P :P
  22. I rode with a guy in Cromer this summer and he was on a koxx levelboss 20", he used this monty brake spray availbale from www.bikedock.com and it works a treat - Noisy for the nieghbours too!!! (Y) Anyone use it/got any views on it? Cheers, Nathan :blink:
  23. thanks for all the great ideas... I live in the fens however so I can't find any rocks or anything lol (Y) Might just try and get hold of some pallets then use mud and bits of wood to make a wicked course... Thanks again everyone :blink: :) ;)
  24. Having the same geo, it goes on looks... Toxsin 1 for me the top tube on the 2 makes me wanna be sick :blink: great bike though mate- good reviews too! (Y)
  25. Prefer doing just the ol' trials mate so I was thinking of just putting up some random mounds (as if they were rocks) and just sort of make a course through em... What you think? :P :-
