on the other hand, in response to the original post, its nice to get an opinion on things that doesnt include a sugestion for getting an 1100 wheelbase and ubsurdly wide drilled and grinded rims, and such

go to buy/sell and buy some of my parts...PLEASE!!

Brisa mods feel like a bmx...and I could totally shred on that thing. If price was no object I would be on a long XTP right now. I could lunge to backtire on picnic tables with that bike...first try, even when it wasnt set up for me at all

yup yup, i check often. i dont have too many questions though. still working on my rear wheel hops and my form.
on flat ground i can lurch about a foot an a half but i cant really keep the front end up after i land.
next time i ride i'll try to remember my camera. i'll set it on a timer and have you guys rate my form.

I check it, but I ride mostly street/park/dj so I look there mostly...for trials, I am looking at trials-online for the most part....but the concepts for both cross over so much that you can hardly talk about one without input from the other

I check this board every now and again even though I don't really ride trials. I've still got some trialsey moves up my sleeves, so I may end up building a trials bike some time in the future.
