I've been voting on these for a while now but Joe "flip mad" Perrizo's
video deserves a wider audience!

It's not always the car that comes off best...

nice video. when i see something like that, i always think "ok, how many
times did he make it halfway?".
I can't find my all time favorite video online anymore, so i'll host it.
This guy hops across 6 of those 2inch pipe bike racks on his back wheel.

At least the brain damage means he's not afraid to go big later on 🙂

That's your all time fave? Hmm.. I've watched a LOT of trials vids and
that would have to be one of the most common scenes.
Thinking about what I've just written - isn't it amazing how I don't
even find such precise lurching interesting!! Guess I've watched too
many bike vids! :S

there are lots of great vids out there, but this one makes it to number 1
coz i think of it of 6 tricks one after another, most of the other stuff i
have seen is, lots of setup and one trick, then some more setup, then
another trick
so what you need to do is get the guy in your clip to jump 6 cars one after
another 😉
but maybe i need to find some of these vids of which you speak

Nah.. the ss is overgeared, I don't find myself wanting to wheelie the
roadie and the Avanti sits unused in the garage 95% of the time :S

lol fair enough. It was one handed from memory(or was that a differentr

If you want a copy, ya know? I can throw some on a disc..
They're just vids off the 'net ('cept the original VHS ones) but it's
easier than trying to download them all.

Geez.. you don't ask for much!
One-handed, one-footed wheelie up Huez then. Should I wear a blindfold too?

so i can be a little slow, but that would be great.
this is just a clever plan to make me feel guilty for not offering to make
some drop bolts for you isn't it?
I couldn't work out what all the adjustments were about, so I let it go.

local tech heads at the top 🙂

yes drop bolts for vegemite. I didn't offer. They look easy enough to make,
but I couldn't understand some of the fitting instructions(what the thin
washers do1). Since its "only" for the front brake I wimped out, picturing a
header "commute ends in tree when drop bolt fails"

1. Ok so it always bugged me that i couldn't work out what they were on
about. Having just spent an hour or so looking at the PDF of a dual-pivot
and reading the instruction again and again, I finally get it.(feeling just
a little thick that it took so long, but I have only ever have single pivot
or Vs and if I had a dual-pivot in my hand I'm sure I would have seen it
straight away). It doesn't look like a bolt you will be able to buy, so you
will most likely need to cut down the shimano bolt, but if they haven't used
a special tread making the rest should no trouble.

I found the cd's and can burn a DVD with all of 'em on it.
Unfortunately, it seems the first time I burned them, I screwed the
filenames up - they still work fine though.

How do I get it to you?

As for the trials links, scroll almost to the bottom of my bookmarks:
