Trials helmet might help... a lot lighter and cut in the back so you can look up easier. I'm 6'1" and have thought about risers but haven't got them... rotating your handlebars forward and back makes a really big difference so play with that a bit first.

didn't find the one I was looking for but this is short clip when he was taking a break. For anybody who thinks running water can't freeze think about the size of this waterfall in Nunavut

Yes I think you are correct... that makes perfect sense. I just read the blog about making the film I had to chuckle reading about them trying to figure out the best way to stud tires (tyres), they should have given Tim a call as he has been riding up North here in Canada for a few years now. I will look for one of his videos...

Anybody else find it strange the Dougie didn't take the opportunity to promote his new bike the Vertigo - "Ice Hell" I would have thought FI would be handy, instead of changing the jetting for the cold conditions.

had to watch that a few times to really pick up the differences kind of like one of those puzzles when you have 2 pictures that look the same and you have to find the differences... really good demonstration. Hopefully I can get out for a little practice tomorrow but it was -18 C today .

Yes!　OK! I'm against it is impossible to the more general public, pieces did and type. From the long-awaited long-awaited familiar with 出tenn's...Translated by Bing 隆典北村 圧入してますけど、削りもしてますよ！Scraping, but it will press are even so!

Thanks guys! Kind of thinking of replacing my Sherco X-Ride as I thought it would be better on the street than it is... If I have to trailer the bike I might as well go more trials and drop a few extra pounds.

Has anybody had a chance to try out the new 250 Contact? Sounds like a great idea for a lower level rider who would like to do a bit of trail riding as well (like me). I notice the specs call for gas mixed at 50:1 instead of the typical 100:1 is the 250 engine different than that in the pro? or is it just because the intended use is different? Any insights are welcome.

Courage can be tough, I tried courage in a bottle once, turns out it only works when asking ladies out... didn't help in trials at all - be careful out there .

Did you see this one?

Great rider and instructor I have contacted him by both email and the phone and he always comes across as super nice. I only have the 1st video as it is challenging enough for me .

Given all the chat on here about people not wanting to be the ones buying a bike before it is tested it is awesome to read they consider having Dabill riding in world events as further testing and they will see how that goes before they launch a bike for the general public. Very interested to see how this all plays out, although I highly doubt we will see a Vertigo in Canada anytime soon. Except of course the T-shirt that Kevin won .

Most (maybe all) of the basic one is now on youtube... most be frustrating for Ryan ???

I'm fairly new to the site but aren't Nigel and Dadof2 the same person? they both seem to be always right and spend a lot of time posting about which bike people "should" be riding. Has anybody seen them both in the same room together? Isn't that proof that they are the same person? I think it would be a great event to have them go head to head the next time Red Bull has a big extreme trials event in the UK. Somewhat related, last week on one of our local forums one of the members looked another memeber's name up on the web and found out where he worked then actually called his work to let his employer know how he was acting on the forum... That forum was already going down hill because of the way the 2 members where behaving but that really was taking it too far IMO. I guess people can get carried away on all forums and I have had my share of backlash for stupid comments I have made. I now try very hard to be moderate in my on-line comments. There is enough hate in the world without bringing it into the sport we love, regardless of how passionate we are about it... Just my early (Sunday) morning thought - off to church and then Trials practice with a few friends (sunny and 0C here today) . Cheers, Michael

That sucks... I wonder if people in the States can see it? I did record it but I suppose if I post it I will be breaking copyrights...etc.

At least get one of those nice spandex suits, looking good is half the battle I find that not many people "bling out" trials bikes... if they want the look it makes more sense to buy a "factory" or "replica" edition. One of our local top riders rides an old TY and kicks butt as others have pointed out with trials it is more about the rider and time on the bike. IMO it is way more impressive to have a clean round than the colour of your wheels... but that is coming from a guy riding an all original 2002 TXT200 .

Great looking practice area!

Given it was on Canadian TV I wish they had mentioned you don't need to go to California to give it a try . I did send Chris from Dirt Rider a note to let him know I enjoyed the show - He was nice enough to write back to say thanks .

If you scroll down far enough on the Lewisport home page you will find these: and price information. You are right though nowhere near the after market stuff available. Lewisport does also have a few catalogs on-line that are worth browsing I'll post a few from their home page...

Doesn't sound like this is your issue but thought I would toss it out for general information... http://youtu.be/QdM4qkAqywk

It may be a little heavier than a pro but WAY lighter than any non trials bike you have ridden - LOL. I would ride it a bit to get a feel for how/if you want to trick it out. I agree Lewisport is your best bet for trick parts... If you are just tricking it out for looks you can get streamers for the handlebars just about anywhere - LOL. Couldn't resist - it is Friday night after all
