How long ago did you do it? Just make sure its fully healed! don't want it f**king up again!

Well. I broke it on August 25th. It seems strong enough. I haven't done any drop gaps on it for a few reasons yet.

1 - I don't trust my Onza cranks and BB :P .

2 - Im not sure if it's ready for them again yet.

New Cranks N' BB soon so we'll see how it goes :)

TUCKZORZZZ!!!!1!!111!!!!!

This thread's so shit it makes me laugh. And look at that picture just posted before... 'tucking' up a 2 foot wall? WTF? And what's this about 'on/off'ing a sidehop... that's a 5 surely?! FFS, this is worse than the 'how high can you...' threads.

Makes me wonder why some people even bother riding.

if you cant get up it and through the gate you run out of time so its a 5, (or i suppose it could be a 1 if you dab up it)

My roundabout point was, that trials I always thought was a bit more functional. Surely the point should be conquering an obstacle, instead of some vast obsession with how a given move looks? Because that's all this is. And talk of if something 'counts' if you hop off again... was there any point doing it in the first place?

Maybe it frustrates me like all the inch-counting... it's as if trials has lost it's way a bit and has become like a small selection of individual athletics 'events', like tap, hook, tuck. I ended up hating rides because it was like the sport was 'mountainbike tapping'... a journey round lots of identical looking walls and a queue of riders waiting to 'tap' it.

Best fun I had? London rides, when we'd try and set up some street 'sections' and see how few marks we could drop going round them.

I'll put the keyboard away now and continue my ramblings with a bottle of Gordon's...

trials has split into two styles now, full on street bashing (mega tucks, one move wonders, on-off sidehops) and competition style( natural stuff, and even riding street how snappel has said)

you may aswell live with it, no point trying to change it, people may aswell do what they want (my personal favorite would be competition style)

but theres no point arguing about it with each other, the fact is that if you keep arguing, nobody will win, and this topic will get even worse.

this topic was nice to look at photos for a start, until you get countless pages of arguments and you cant find many photos, its just shit

now stop arguing like little babies and let people post up pictures of there best tucks, be it sidehops, gaps, statics, it doesnt matter, its a topic on a forum, if you argue about a picture of someone then its pretty sad really. fair enough people may be putting on a tuck, these people do exist. but why argue about it,

at the end of the day what do you achieve by arguing on a forum?

(if you give the wrong answer to that question, i bet you will all start arguing again/still)

anyway, me landing a gap, attempting to keep the front up :P

Shut it and put your dummy back in...If you despise tucks so much that you feel the need to cry about it...Simple as...Don't look in this thread.

This thread is for pictures of tucks. Not the debate on weather you think it should or should not be done.

For once I actually completely agree with you >_<

Keep it on topic, and if you really want to argue, bump up one of the other topics in Trials Chats - there have been enough of them!
