i got my 05 python in the mail today and i fuckin love it! i learned how to do the basics on just kona xc bike...but the second i got on my new mod it was just love. i can chill out on the rear wheel for hours, pedal kicks, and do some small gaps. my now the only thing that is weird is doing ups i seem to be having problems with. and mainly pedal ups are intimidating the hell outa me but hopefully thats just a comfort thing of going from both BMX and mountainbikes to a trials bike. but other then the fact that im not entirely used to it yet the bike is great!

I couldnt figure out how to upload pics...anyone willing to explain? its an 05 frame with an echo/zoo build kit. its awesome. i bought it off this guy who said he never really rode it and its condition seems to be true. i think i did more damage to it today then he did in the however long he owned it. the only complaint that i have is the echo tire on the front the folds pretty easy..the back doesnt bother me but the front one does....i cant figure out how to get the image uploader thing to work...it like loads but enve rdoes or tells me anything...i think i maybe be a little retarded

(no worky)
Go to the uploader, browse for the image and select it, then press the upload button. The slower your connection the longer it will take, but for one picture of reasonable size it takes about 30 secs on an average broadband connection.
All you need to do then is copy paste the blahblahDSC10043 on to the reply section here.
It used to take me 30 minutes sometimes when I was on dial up. :hsugh:
If you need more help just post.

if you dont mind me asking, how much did you get her for!
it looks nice.. mods are fun and easy to bounce around on! im just not sure how comfortable i would be on it for long periods of time :weak:
as far as damage, it happens... thats why you dont get a new first trials bike ;) less of a oh crap when you hurt it!
btw, pump up the front tire.. you dont really need a cushey front, at least to start off with, i duno about when you start doing front tire moves
Tyre pressure is personal preference, some people, like me, prefer a very cushy front and have since I started. It may help to have more pressure though.

i got it for $665...i hope thats a good price considering when trialsin sold zoo they were somesomething like 1300 for the front freewheel and stuff. and there was NO damage to it at all except for the little scratch on the bashguard. but yeah i think i might play around with it a little more today. depending on how brutally hot it is i may go to this area and ride a little more natural stuff and try and not feel intimidated. its like when i was out there if i put my mind to it i could do the stuff. but it was puttin my mind to it. like this 4 foot lurch thats no more then 6 inches high at bst was freaking me piy but at home i could go off a curb consistantly at about 5...but yeah i think i might play with the preasure a little today. and one think i am thinkin about doing in the very near future is a light grind. spent some time on my back yesterday that we killer. lol and does anyone know how to adjust the louise front brake? i have the HS33 set to where it locks it its blown on can i do that somehow with the front also?

the only difference between 05 and 06 zoo is the decals. am i right? It looks excatly the same as 06 if i'm not wrong

well i really have no idea. i knew it was at least an 05 just because of the CNCed plates at the bottom bracket. the only 06 decals i have seen were the craig lee scott ones but that wason the long frame and mines a short. ill check zoobike and see. regardless...i love this bike its fuckin sweet. just need to find some people to ride with...turns out Oklahoma isnt just floundering with trials riders.
