    Any Trials Bikers Here? Watch me fail :D

    So I've been riding now for around 2 years but had a 4 gear gap and just got back into it around a few months back now.

    Rode cleckheaton with some friends from the trials forum yesterday and managed to fall off a 7 foot wall pretty badly. Take a look

    I didn't manage to break anything though which is always a bonusss

    Yeah! What sort of biking do you do?

    It's pretty hard to begin with but once the fundamentals are nailed its all go from there

    I have the new name of Mr rubberlegs hah.

    Just showed my parents the video and they did not approve and think i'm going to kill myself. ha

    No what I did wrong was I didn't give myself that extra hop to the edge of the ledge and in turn my front wheel dropped too much at the edge so when I landed i couldn't control it and my right foot slips off the pedal if you look really closely.

    As for the bike, yeah it's an 07 I think, as it didn't come with drilled rims but nice spot

    T-comps are alright, but they snap very very easily. I snapped my drop outs doing a 3 foot drop when I had a t-comp.

    I'm using hs33's front and rear. Both 2004 models as they are the best, both bled with water for the stupidly fast response. And using HeatSinkYellow pads on the rear. Standard blacks on the front whilst I wait to be paid so I can get some new ones. I was using White echo blocks on the front but my rim grind destroyed them in about 4 rides! haha. Too soft of a compound for a ground rim.
