At Least you've snapped something! - Well Done! (*applause*)

I think if you dont snap / break something your riding trials wrong! (Y)

the first time i went on a proper ride i broke the freehub, snapped the cog, a spacer, lockring and the hub axle. but i was basically noob then though!

would like to see the vid :(

yep, I genraly find it the other way around, I snap stuff when I do get it wrong ;) . Or when I get bored and ride more streety stuff.

I think on my Iolo so far I've killed a rear tyre (beed ripped off), a couple of tubes(puncture on the valve and exploded when the tyre whent), a chain ring (before I could get hold of a bash), a 04 maggie lever (internals died) and some cheepo forks (erm... I bent them riding park). I'm pretty glad I've progressed alot and not broken too much stuff. And what I have broken wasnt even my fault most of the time. :shades:

Alloy forks are basicaly disposable items though, they will break, so the trick is to just learn the signs and change them in time.

Thanks buddy.

26" forks on a mod not good. It's like riding a chopper.

I wish Gaz M would stop taking the piss. I have waited 3 weeks for these forks and they are still not here it's a joke I tell you. :angry:

Well basicly, I was only doing a roll and the next thing I know I'm laying on the floor. Thinking what the f**k. Next my mate says oh my god you just snapped your forks.
