I don't think I have, although they do sound familiar. I guess I'm just kinda amazed at the sort of engineering that would go into making a motorcycle handicapped-accessible

How much do those trials bikes weigh? They throw them around almost as well as some of the trials bicyclists do.

The Video logs while riding are a pretty cool idea. I found one or two that are worth a listen. Anyone ever hear anything about the quality of the Yamaha Tricker as a trials bike? It looks pretty awesome.

Trials bikes make great trail bikes. :-) IIRC in a recent issue of dirt rider they compared trials tires to hard dirt tires. Trials tires are good in most any condition. On even non trials bikes. The big 4 tried to get the US into trials bikes in the 70's, and failed. hard. now there's lots of little companys who buy big 4 motors and make trials bikes. It's still a very, very small industry. They are light bikes. Around 200lbs. A lot of the agilty you see is due to the way the suspension is setup. They have very little rebound damping, and very soft springs. That lets you bounce the bike quite high.

Plus, as you said, Pfeiffer is a trials rider.

Standups, highchairs, rolling burnouts, big endos, standing on the seat, aka, all the poo poo you see over and over and over and over and over and over at every single stunt show on the planet (not just douchebags on the freeway), does not hold a candle to the poo poo that a pro trials rider does. It just doesnt, sorry if you dont like that. I know you cant just hop on a bike and join the starboiz or whatever, but lets be honest, how many trials riders are out there with the insane skills to do the poo poo featured in the video posted above? Not many, they are rare. How many loving bandana-wearing, wifebeater-rocking, youtube posting stuntas are around at every single motorcycle event that occurs, hawking their homemade DVD's and blaring lovely deathmetal while they put on shows consisting of the same 5 or 6 tricks that every other stunt group does?? About 10 million. Does that tell you something about trials vs. stunt riding? Beve Stuscemi fucked around with this message at 17:44 on Jul 11, 2007 |

Again, the list of tricks you mention (besides long 500+ ft endos) are all basic tricks. You have NO clue how technical half the tricks riders do at big competitions are. Sit down no handed circles, tank circle combos, merk step to highchair, figure 8 stalls, blindside combos, 180+ endo variations, the list goes on and on. But then again, you think they are the same 5 tricks because you are so ignorant when it comes to stunt riding. Do you also think skateboarding tricks only consist of the ollie, grab, and kickflip? What stunts in that video do you think someone very experienced at stunting a sportbike wouldn't be able to pull off near immediately on a trials bike (besides some of those wall hops, as that's pretty foreign to us)? I've rode them and wheelies, endos, and bunny hops are piss easy in comparison to a streetbike. I don't understand why you think the opposite, perhaps it's because you've never pushed it to that level on either? Trials bikes are fun if you have a good area with lots of obstacles to play around on, but for actual stunting, they are boring. You can do so much more on a streetbike. Of course streetbike stunting is more popular, it's much easier to get into and more flashy. Lots of people already own street bikes, they can start fooling around whenever they are driving them around (I'm not advocating street stunting, but it is how a lot of people get into it) and slowly creep into it. With a trials bike you are pretty much buying it for just that purpose, and a lot of people aren't interested in that right off the bat. Not to mention they are expensive, hard to find, and you have to own a truck and haul it around to play with it. And again, when it comes to actual stunts, you can't do half as much on a trials bike, so I'd choose a streetbike over it any day. inolen fucked around with this message at 18:47 on Jul 11, 2007 |
