Greetings Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I could adapt to quite a few bikes when riding a python, now having a monty I can't adapt to anything at all. It's just too different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ride any other mod, I just hate it, It never feels smooth, just jerky and horrible. Nothing like your own bike As for 26"...I just avoid all together, its like trying to backwheel a penny farthing.

munch8987 Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I find it quite easy to adapt to pretty much any stock bike.......aslong as it's under 1070 wb, being 5ft 4 tends not to let me ge along with larger bikes.Mods take me a bit longer to get used to, not having one myself makes it even harder, but riding my mates for an hour or 2 once a week helps, i reckon i could get the hang of it in 30 mins or so, given the chanceBen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I'm usually alright with going on other peoples bikes once i've gotten used to how their brakes work, which only takes a minute or two. I can also switch between riding a stock and a mod pretty easily too although i don't do anything massive on the little bikes because i dont really trust them, i can sidehop them pretty well though .

Pauly Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 urm well i can change between stocks but cant ride it aswell as mine as i dont have confidence in the bike.. i dont bother with mods as when i get back on to my stock sidehops are so crap !, the best person who i know who can adapt is neil its quite funjny acctually he seems tobe able to ride my bike better than his ! for example his bike had abit of a boo boo while we were out the other day and we just got to the place so i said try mine out and he was findiong everything alot easyer ... ive also seen him go on anyones mod and ride it with ease..Pauly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Cable Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I can pretty much adapt to most bikes, had a longer stem on my bike, felt kewl, changed to a shorter stem. Also felt cool, but in a different way. Just kinda adjusted but seemed ok. Cant go from stock to mod, as it feels generally gayyyy IMHO. But i managed todo some backwheeling on my dads old school mountain bike. Nothing to big, but its possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramps Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I usually ride other peoples bikes better than my own but I wouldn't like to own a lot of other peoples bike if you get me, probably not but thats my two pennies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Bleech Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I can adapt to most bikes, except for long mods (CLS python,etc) and really high bb stocks, but of which feel horrid imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Geary Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I can adapt preety easy i think, mods feel really weird to me though. I can ride Montys easy i love them but other mods feel weird riding on.I can any 26" after a good 10 minutes on it then i can just ride it as i would my bike, but i don't have the trust as i would in my bike.

Bike addict Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Yeah what Dave said, after 20mins on any size or type of trials bike, i seem to be able to do everything well enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I've found that now I can get on stocks and do stuff fine, which is cool. Before, I just couldn't do anything, but I seem to be able to now. It's largely the same with mods, unless someone runs a really f**king weird setup...

Mat Smith! Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I couldn't even gap Ali C's Ashton, oh dear.I'm alright with mods though, quite easy, but I can't do with Zoo bars, there toooooooo long, compared to my 221 ti's.Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
