nice bike!

[@SKSTrials]

Always been impressed and jealous of your spin moves! I stopped practicing them after I hurt my ankle practicing them few years back.

[@swoofty1]

I'm glad you like them, they're about all I have 🤣 I was big into snowboarding in the 90s and spinning was key. I brought that to my trials riding early on and made sure that I learned to spin in both directions. There's still a few moves that i can only do 'good' side tho. Always something more to learn. Cheers

Kool!

[@swoofty1]

Yup, that's me. I wish OTN weren't so, uh, dead, you know. Good times!

[@ce5circle656]

Your riding is amazing, how long have you been riding for? How old are you ? 🤯🤩

[@swoofty1]

You are too kind ☺ I'm 50 and I ride even better when the brakes are bedded in 🤣

[@Inspiredpursuits-h3d]

@@swoofty1yeh you are definitely good for 50 years old bro, I ride a inspired fourplay 2012 custom build, I love it, it’s slightly longer than current street bikes which suits my riding more as I don’t do footjam tailwhips etc I’m more traditional trials, my favourite move is up to front 💯, I’ve had pure trials bikes but my 53 year old back doesn’t appreciate that anymore lol

[@swoofty1]

@@Inspiredpursuits-h3d I watched your 24 years ago vid. Nice! I wish I had started back then. I've been riding bikes since I was 5, but didn't start trying trials until I was 35, so 15 years now. Agreed on the old body not liking the abuse anymore. I find myself running lower and lower psi, but you can only do so much. Ride 4 lyf! 🤘

[@Inspiredpursuits-h3d]

@ I started riding when I was 5 in my uncles garden, he set up obstacles like rocks and wooden beams etc , I’ve done a few comps in the 90s but I’ve always ridden alone, which I don’t mind lol, I then joined the army so didn’t ride at all for a long time but after I left I started riding again, as far as I know I hold unofficial world records for wheelies and manuals and no footed manuals, I have been lucky enough to ride with Duncan shaw and Danny Mac and I rode with Charlie rolls a little while ago with the shin dig crew, Charlie absolutely blew my mind 💯 he’s such a nice lad, he even sent my son a happy birthday video last year … I just glad to be still riding at my age I’ve got a lot of long term injuries but I will never stop riding 🤘

Which is better steet or aluminum frame bike ? I want a steel bike but worried that it can rust easily. I also want a aluminum bike but worried that the frame will breal easily. Pls advice

[@swoofty1]

I prefer aluminum. Steel bikes are just heavier with no real advantages, and like you said, rust. I've had great luck w alu frames, but i don't keep them forever either.

[@harisankar1317]

@@swoofty1 you don't keep alu frames forever because they break?

[@swoofty1]

@@harisankar1317 I've never broken an alu frame. I've only seen an alu Onza Zoot break.

[@Smoovebert]

wooooooo
