Me and a friend were out tonight after school in our woods when he got stuck at the top of a very steep hill! He dropped the bike and slipped back down the hill.
But he dropped the bike on the throttle side which dug in.
I was at the bottom were we could not Do any thing but watch as we could not climb the hill in timw as it were to slippery.
So we're there watching his favorite thing seize up. It took about 6seconds and man did it rev high then it went silent. He was so angry!
So I went back and towed him back up our little but long 5mile track through fields back to our house. Very crude idea by me was to use a rope wrapped round the right hand foot peg then tied to the forks which ment every time I accelerated he veered off to left or right (can't remember!)
We got it back in the workshop and stripped it down taking the barrel of and exposing The piston and just as we thought it was completely wrecked as was the barrel completely scored as well.
at our club we used puchcards. but now we have a clip board at the end of each section whith each rider number and you put you're score down beside your number
did a trial on saturday and in-between sections there were lots of ditches and this guy on a 2011 gasser just hit one and flew up high and landed and hopped around a bit and i noticed his suspension was extremely soft but was not bottoming out. how would i go about making my 2008 gas gas whith sachs shock like this?as mine is currently stiff and bouncy is why i keep getting stuck?
i did a trial on saturday it was great... except from my bike towards the end was really unresponsive and had a nasty rattle near the exhaust port /barrel when revved high on the run down back to idle.and was getting really hard to start
i got back and cleaned carb and changed gearbox oil etc. not difference what so ever.

You can get a guard from splatshop or a carbon effect one from trickbits trials
were going to an extremely wet trial tomorrow and my dad has two bikes -sherco 290 2006 and a 270 gas gas 1998
which should he take?
the sherco has an irc tyre with good edges
the gas gas was not used for 8 years and the tyres were pumped up to 30 psi so its still quite hard even whith no air but its getting softer as we keep riding it. again has good edges
so which would give most grip. there are no rocks just mud
Well, As Promised!
in Anything goes

It's on My plans!
It's great that dad rides trials too:P
