Tony Harrison Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Haha so true. I remember an old MBUK article with some trials in, someone in a silver azonic DS1 with black fatty R's and red maguras. I adored that bike!That may have been the Reading v Newbury article...everyone had 521 rear rims, non of these super fat modern jobbies521's were the bomb!!bashguard.comtrialsworks.comEveryone dreamed of having a Cannondale AshtonHey, and London Trials! And yes, the Cannondale, but I only ever wanted the proper one that Ashton/Lance/Tibo had - not the crappy 'replica'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walleee Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 groups.yahoo.com/groups/modandstocktrialsridingOh my f**king god, I remember having one of those Bush internet boxes for the TV (before we had a PC) and looking at the group on it, it was about the only website I could get any use of as the damn thing never played videos or any of that crap....A steel DMR sidekick was 'trials specific'When EVERYONE had raceline yellow maguras.When you could still actually do wheelies because you had a seat high enough that you didnt rub your arse on the wheel.(for people near bedford/luton/dunstable) When attitude cycles was still open!I remember when I was getting into trials the original mission jumpin jack had just came out but had 'sold out' in my local shop, I ended up getting a Giant Boulder ALU 14" frame and throwing some rigid GT forks on it. After that I got a mission trials pro, one of the very first frames mission brought out, I really liked that frame and would love to get a go on it today but i hear it's been snaped since i got rid of it....I also had D521 CD rims on Deore hubs, absolute bargain wheelset from CRC at the time and no-one gave a f**k about how many engagement's or the quality of the hub! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streetjibs Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 (edited) there werent trials bikes readily available and we took xc bikes put rigid forks on em and hopped up and down without going anywhere!! online shops didnt exist... let alone a world of internet users where we can share info and help out each other *my fave remember when... * When bikes had seats and were short...I even remember MBUK sayin "the pashley wuz longer then we expected but thats ok for the taller riders"trials wuz all drop offs and bunnyhopsdrooling over kraus's heavy tools, jj's 1st gen crescent, lenoskys black n gold schwinn, and elgato tyres were everywhere!! videos came out on tapes... Not Dvds, not online, not for free... trials specific wuz a term unheard of... there were no trials specific cranks, rims, bashguards, frames etctar wuz popular!... so too wuz biketrials.comand finally after 11years of riding trials... remember when i had the balls to do some big(ish!) moves... funny thing is.. Stil get the same enjoyment, thril and goodtimes as i always have. great topic... keep em coming...!

When i saw a Koxx Level boss in an MBUK magazine, 2001-2, That was my dream bike and nothing was going to stop me having it in the future.

plainlazy84 Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Crud catchers were a must have accessory (as well as DCD but think thats already been mentioned?)The MBUK Urban tour. At the Milton Keynes one I always remember Ashton pulling off a 360 rear wheel pivot and the commentator saying how it was a new trick that had never been pulled before! Ian Cooper was one of the top riders in the UK (and you cant forget his titanium Raleigh)Rich Johnson riding on loads of knackered old cars in a scrap yard, in MBUK.Every little move had to have a name and they varied depending on which area you were from. The Americans had all kind of crazy names. Japslapping, zaptaps. Grrr cant remember many. I'm sure someone else can help me out?The twisted stoppie- how cool was that in T&S ?! and they actually taught the endo..... and the 'FULL' endo.
