So Nigel has posted a link or spamming dealer trying to tout his wares for free?

That was a good vid with some good riders. OK on the beer to bouncy house ratio. The key is to stop bouncing just prior to the hurling.

How's this for a response: Or is that a 1500cc 2stroke (don't see any valves) cylinder? Ace Ventura with Cannibal Corpse (just a bit of fun and animal noises) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6anoJrvKXMM

I WANT A BOUNCY HOUSE AT OUR NEXT EVENT!!

I don't think "sharp" is generally used when describing my mental factulties. Now smarta*** that I have heard many times. Good luck at the trial, have FUN!!!! (does always seem more fun if riding "well") I only notice because I also am Boorish and Rude!!!!! (just try to cover it up) :boobies:

I was given muscle relaxers once, the doc said I should be able to go to work while on them. The prescription was twice a day. I took one pill and felt myself melt into my chair. 12 hours later I woke up. hmmm don't think I would be able to work or do anything if I took those every 12 hours.

Mine was also not trials related.

I have had pneumonia, one lung filling up with fluid/infection, bottom 1/3 full. It is not as much fun as it is advertised. I now understand how people died from it before antibiotics and how immune compromised people still die from it today. (scared me a tad bit)

You Sir, are very boorish and rude! I would NEVER talk about a lady in that manner!

And my throttle hand in the front pocket of my shorts!!!

Biffsgasgas installed his in the stock location, left side next to clutch master cylinder, and wears the strap on his wrist. A fun trick is to take the magnet attached to the lanyard and bring it sideways to the magnet on the handlebar. When you get close the magnet will circle the one on the handlebar. Simple things amuse me.

Jimmie, Great!! that you're back to riding. You will LOVE that V-Mar carb adapter. I got one a few weeks ago and it makes airbox re-install SO much easier, makes such a more positive connection, I wish the bikes came with those things stock. I was able to install the adapter on the carb with the carb on the bike, but it would have been easier with the carb off. There are 3 small set screws that hold the adapter on, if you orient them just right you can get an allen wrench in there to tighten them. Function over Fashion everytime, actually the plastic welding doesn't look bad. There is only so much that can be done and will never look like new..........unless you spend the $$$ on new.

Twisted my ankle, the doc looks at my sons and says "ya wanna hear dad scream?" and starts poking my ankle...........*******

The two main things from this video you MUST master are : 1. Somehow obtain many many spectators 2. Backflip!!

Yep get the basics mastered and it will help with the advanced. I find hops has a positive effect on the amount of courage I have, but conversely has a negative effect on my riding ability.

SUCCESS! you did not get a 5!! and put on a good show! too bad you got hurt though.

depending on ability, just riding figure 8's tighter and tighter and slower and slower can be very helpful for balance and control. Logs if you can get them and have room to set up. take a piece of 2x4 lumber and ride the length of it, this will help with balance and maintaining a straight line. Nose wheelies------because they are fun and look cool. also when you go over the bars it helps you "crash correctly". Let your imagination run wild.

I am guessing the story starts out with "So, there I was......"

Looking good, like you said just a bit wobbly well just balancing..........but your feet stayed on the pegs so you're doing something right

Montesa 315R = 2 stroke Montesa 4RT = 4 Stroke 2005? - present

Nope no ribs, I know guys that have twisted Knees, shredded ACL, broken cheek bones, I twisted my ankle, .....Oh wait a second, there was one guy that tried to convince his bike to go to the top of the hill. His bike had other plans, and rolled over him on it's way back down the hill. Broke a couple ribs, broken nose and a punctured lung. And I keep telling the Wifey that Trials is a safe motorsport.

Obstacles like you describe: 2 logs spaced wheel base apart. both techniques work, but the wheelie and more throttle/aggressive works better on average to small logs with lots of run out after the logs. But bigger logs with a tight turn directly after would require more precision. Possibly even more throttle but a more precise control of it. Hope that makes sense.

I like mine a little dirty.........the dirty ones are not afraid to try new techniques......
