zippy

OH give the new guy a break on the spelling. We need more people to get into the sport, don't chase them away. Besides there is always time to give em a razzing later after he thinks we are all nice people.

We have all done something silly like that at one time or another........

Obligatory name dropping time......... I know and have ridden with Aaron and Yuki both have been members of MOTA. Yuki moved for work/school and I don't know if he still rides. Aaron has been working on his house and it is looking AWESOME, I hope he returns for the 2013 season. I saw Chase at the combined TI / MOTA event in Indiana, He has grown a bit since that video and has improved his riding even more. Sadly I have not met Ryan, he really seems like a fun and down to earth guy to hang out with. (whole purpose of this post.............I got to post and be part of the conversation. I was like a politician said many words, but did not really say anything)

OOOHH imagine the drama when the top riders can't remember which sections are stop and which are no stop. And the minder(s) tell them the wrong one!!! That could be a joy to watch.

I was just thinking about chests............. Treasure Chests, Hope Chests, Chest of Drawers.........

so you're a small 20 yr old?

I like the suggestion of no arguing with the Observers. best way to keep observers. (note to observers please be fair and consistent that is all I ask...... that and accept my bribes for cleans) Good point about being able to see the best riders in the world come to our country!!!

:rotfl: Don't ya hate when your buddies film you riding and only post the "blooper reel" and not the awesome 12 foot splatter that you made on the first try? yep Me too. Loved the Music, Loved the smiles. He is having fun!!! (I had to watch it twice)

COOL BIKE THAT HAS BEEN WELL SORTED AND USED IN ANGER

We have a couple of opinions mentioned at MOTA http://motatrials.com/forum/trials-news/330-fim-trial-world-championship-goes-non-stop.html#409

LINKY to Channel!! then views go up more!

And here I thought it was just installed incorrectly....apparently the plates had worn enough to cause a problem, slipping went away after putting the plate in the other groove. and it shifted the same as before.

All of you are riding just fine and I enjoyed the video quite a bit, had a good chuckle when the camera got sprayed with mud and when the young gentlemen laid his bike over just so nicely and stood there looking like "well, that's a good spot" Looks like a good group of friends having a fun day out on the bikes. As you get older and ride more that part does not change. Keep riding boys and keep having fun.

I had an issue with my 2000 2.9 clutch slipping in 4th and 5th gears. Turns out the top fiber plate was installed one set of grooves off. There is a set of grooves in the basket that goes all the way to the bottom and then there is basically a notch between the grooves that does NOT go all the way down. my top plate was in that notch so the top plate was not being fully pressed against the rest of the plates. Also had the 2 piston front brake and it worked like crap I changed pads, brake line, bled it a million times. but when I did a rebuild of the caliper it worked AWESOME after that, replaced seals and pistons and was just like new. When kickstarting take up the initial little bit of slack (kicker won't move much) and you should feel the kicker engage and then it is just a strong smooth kick and it should go.

I agree that stop with foot down you are now a kickstand and have failed = 5. But I personally believe trials is about "CONTROL" not balance or motion exactly. stop feet up = control stop foot down = no control. But I disagree that we should go to no - stop because we have lost something along the way. I personally feel that modern trials riding is a mix of styles both stop and hop and no stop. both styles have their roots in control of the machine. So far I have seen 2 videos of supposed no stop riding Caby and Bou. Both riders stopped. difference for bou is the first time through he hopped on rear wheel and second time through he stopped with both tires on the rock. http://www.photobysergio.fr/cabestany-non-stop.html http://www.photobysergio.fr/non-stop.html running no stop now eliminates the use of tight 90 degree turns and immediate obstacle after that. In my opinion sections will now need to be "opened up" in order to allow a more fluid flow to the section making no - stop possible and basically turning it into an extreme enduro course. Personally I don't think either set of rules will bring in more spectators. Main reason I think we don't have spectators is because as a spectator you cannot just look and instantly see who is winning. Other forms of racing whoever ahead of the others is winning. With trials you have to wait until the scores are counted. (yes I know about golf - scores are constantly posted and most ppl watch on the telly, Freestyle MOTO-X is a big show anyways) Trials will always be a small niche sport populated with some of the nicest, most talented and wierdest riders out there. Just my opinions from a guy that rode TY's as a kid in the early 80's and now tries to stop and hop and other times ride a flowing line.

If it ain't broke, you ain't trying hard enough!

Well the FIM has stated 2013 World rounds are no-stop. So this means you must continue moving the entire time you are spectating. Do NOT bring any folding chairs they will be of no use to you.

I work with a guy like that....................always stand to the side of him, Neither end is safe..........

Maybe it is an FIM Oficial and needs to be more puffed up, all full of how important they think they are.

I just recently purchased an 03 Gas Gas and my silencer has the same indent. I thought it a rather good idea.

That is an awesome quote! that should be used in conjunction with a Tubby Trials Team type video for advertising.

I have broken that shaft also on a Sherco I just sold......twice. apparently those shifter shafts don't like being used as a foot peg on a drop off. (Disclaimer: of course I fixed it each time and sold the bike in working condition) ivanski, This may help http://www.vmtc.at/Technik/Sherco/sparebook_07.pdf Pages 45 and 47 show exploded view of transmission gears, may help with locations of all the washers and such if it is something out of place.

Don't count if he did not go to the Hospital!! Just trying to help Dave
