Captain Scarlet Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 So I've been getting back into riding trials again lately, but more often than not I find myself down the skatepark with my mates who ride BMX. I've always loved throwing techy moves into my lines, like endo-360 drop offs, reverse nose manuals and such, but it really feels like a long time since I learnt a new move like this. I'm really eager to pick up more cool techy stuff. So I suppose this thread is a long list of tricks which are done/can be done on a trials bike. I'm thinking: 360 endo drop offs 360 endo whip drop offs (Macaskill) One handed front wheel spin (done on the back wheel) That front flip thing over the bars which Jack Meek is a beast at If anyone can post up any other cool tricks like this or even video examples that would be great!

Miles Mallinson Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) Invent some. Sliders are cool also fakie manuals and nose picks. Edited July 10, 2012 by Miles Mallinson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 can't beat a classic 180 or 360 spin. Not overly techy but always cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake. Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'm waiting to see someone manage to barspin a trials bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Ben Rowlands did at the DJ ride And a local riding mate of mine hop barred my Leeson within about 5 minutes of getting on it haha! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Thats not cool... agreed....its a disgusting 1990's move...that people think jack invented (no offence jack), but it's definitely not called a meekflip before anyone brings it up 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna see a vid, I assume this is with super-wide bars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 My bike's been barspinned with uncut Trialtech High Rise bars. BMX bars are usually wider than most trials bars these days too... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I tried a barspin once on my mod, the bars seemed to go so far back cause of the 150x30 stem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake. Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I meant a proper trials bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake. Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 It's more suited to BMX... And what I meant by "I'm waiting to see someone manage to barspin a trials bike. " Is a mod/stock haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I tried a barspin once on my mod, the bars seemed to go so far back cause of the 150x30 stem... Try 175 !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 More suited to BMX? I'm pretty sure I wouldn't manage going up to rear on a 3½' wall or gapping 6' on a bmx but I can do it on my 4play. Also don't think Ben would have won the Senior route of the comp at Barrow Farm on a BMX. This isn't me having a go by the way just my actual opinion.

JD™ Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Yea, let's have this debate again, that'd be great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Well yeah, they have much shorter stems which make's it easier straightaway and shorter bars. The geo also seems better for manuals/barspins/bunnyhops. Am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I don't agree with the shorter(?) bars bit, there's a vid of Chris Akrigg riding a fixie and he does a barspin on that which has a good sized stem on though to be fair that does have a seat.

Luke Rainbird Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Not to mention the epicly long front end on most trials bikes. But seriously, not again, it's f**king retarded. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoze Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I wanna see a vid, I assume this is with super-wide bars? Yeah good luck with that, he can't walk right now and probably won't for the foreseeable future... Seriously though dude, the "24's aren't trials bikes" line is seriously tedious. I don't think anyone'll be barspinning a pure trials bike any time soon, the geo + front end set up is just all wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Yeah that's why I wanted to see someone barspin one haha, cause the geo is hardly suited for it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
