monkeyseemonkeydo Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Does anyone know why Adam always rides with a microphone (I assume) attached to his helmet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-A Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Wow, thats some skill right there. It all looks a little sketchy, but its just all about the fact thats he's doing it!Theres another video on thats guys Vimeo, thats of indoor moto trials LINK and the rider tries an up, and then bubacas back and tries again, which in itself is something pretty mental and something I've not seen moto trials riders do before.One thing I miss since we stoppe getting Sky is watching Eurosport for its moto trials/moto gp coverage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve-A Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Yeh, I knew it wasn't allowed for outdoors, but I'd still not seen it indoors either. Though its been quite a while since I've seen any moto trials, its probably come along way. As for moto gp, Eurosport always used to (and I believe it was still the case this year) show qualifying and practices for all the rounds for those sad ones amongst us!, where as the BBC only show some of them. They also head better coverage of the 125s and 250s, which are faaar better than the 800s to watch. Eurosport wont have any moto gp next year thuogh, so its BBC all the way.

raimund-aut Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Does anyone know why Adam always rides with a microphone (I assume) attached to his helmet?Many riders use that nowadays, in order to be able to communicate with their minders.

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Is that what it is? That's kinda... pointless. Martin and Dougie Lampkin never needed an intercom system that's for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 "INCH LEFT, INCH LEFT... PERFEC'!"But yeah, that video was insane. His rear wheel control is out of this world. I didn't think I'd see the day people could do that on mototrials bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I don't really watch mototrials videos - so that was a bit of a treat for me...Incredible amounts of skill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Effortless backwheel control. What tyre pressure do these guys run the wheelsets? i couldn't help thinking how many wheelsets these guys go through running their tyre pressures so low that tyre is touching the rim during compression on some of those lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rear is tubeless though and the tyres have really strong sidewalls so the wheels don't actually get trashed as much as you'd expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
