New TRA HD video

[TRA]

Hi.

http://koxx.fr/index.php?lg=fr_FR&sec=trial&pg=news&id=HDDB478b6f5d7ba8d

New TRA HD Video yes ..

Lonely rider does not stand much chance . I have barely been riding at all , thus resulting in not as good video .. :\

It has part1(150mb,7:09min) and part 2(90mb,5:12min).

[TECHNODROME]

Veees :eek3danc:

[netto]

holy huge moves! are you running try all rims? hows that front rim holding up for dual magura?

[RyanMcVicker]

downloading...:yum:

[Juhan]

The quality is supberb, the riding is insane and the cinematography is really good!

[Cryo-Cube]

cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[moric]

Juhan The quality is supberb, the riding is insane and the cinematography is really good!

Yes indeed.. love TRA vids.. sick tap @ 4:20 part 1

How is it going with the DVD ?

[LanceT]

Still downloading, but I thought I would share some sympathy as a fellow solitary rider.

It can be tough, but it makes you appreciate having others around that much more when it does happen.

And if you enjoy riding, (even when you are alone) you can't go wrong.

Way to keep the torch burning TRA!

Edit: watched vids. TRA embodies the true sense of trials, which to me is freedom to do whatever you want, him possibly more-so than any other rider. No rules, no restrictions, just riding on anything and everything... in the entire country from the looks of it.

Roof kicker was my favorite.

[RyanMcVicker]

HAAHAHAHAHAHA @ tra stealing a kids bike.
nice shoes :P

superb riding tra.. great video.

[egidio]

as far as I know what is the distance between railway tracks, that gappage off the concrete wall was sickest

[Bryan]

That was ridiculous. Amazing

The gap at 3:00 in the second video. Holy shit

How does koxx feel about you using a schwalbe tire?

[Sondre]

Great video, Thomas! Solid riding throughout the entire video =) I'm coming to Bergen this summer, going to do a big roadtrip methinks...

But, are you still running dualvees? What's your vee setup now?


Cheers,
Sondre

[TRA]

I have hs33 in front because i dont have adaptors which work .

vee setup now with avid ultimate with some alu backings and actually t33zr compound .. it works .. but aint the best.. in this vid its all ali c special compound

[Cryo-Cube]

i can't even comprehend the moves you pull
Have you tried Nokon housing? Its imo a bit stiffer than normal housing.

[sputnik]

amazing

[greyghost]

I still can;'t comprehend how you jump so high.....it may be time to consider a career in basketball. (photoshop anyone?)

Great vid, loved everything about it!

[va_tick]

Riding was sick as always......the video was great....really like the effect you used in the last segment on the second video......you really good with the viddy cam

Oh, I always enjoy the soundtracks to your vids....sometimes more than the riding......so, is the DVD still coming?

[Bryan]

Thomas, have you experienced any problems with your front wheel laced radially?

[TRA]

The scwalbe has worked perfectly .

No problems with my front wheel , its actually pretty strong !

The DVD .. hmm .. well i will not release a DVD until i can get footage which i am happy with , and i have barely been touching my bike now so i aint got no footage. I will try and get a more active year this year , so i hope i can get some good footage for DVD etc .

[Chris]

Your riding lacks power! What about some weight lifting? :hs:

This will help you too

[AndyT]

In that order :momaru:

[TRA]

beating down seales are pretty popular around here , but its mostly a group thing

[TRA]

VLC is the best for such vids ... download

[Meteor]

Liked that alot, but I think I prefered you last HD video.. I think because there were more unique spots in there.
I like the parkour parts tho, you should use them some more in upcoming video's :)

[Carbon]

Awesome vid. :bigthumb:
How do you like the new Coust. frame?

[konrad]

god-like video!
thanks for this masterpiece!:bowdown:

[Monty99]

absolutely fantastic!

that first clip - i think we've seen you doing that line now with like 5 different frames (even Echo?)

those last indoor(?) clips are the most beautiful indoor footage i've ever seen.

We allready saw you going bigger and higher, but i definitely need those 2 vids + your last HD movie on DVD to watch them on a real (http://www.pic-upload.de/14.01.08/yymf8l.jpg) screen.

Thumbs up :bigthumb:

btw: stop drilling your cranks :nono:

[Cryo-Cube]

They basically just move rocks and rearrange them, for no reason, hence the viking power

[TheGhost]

simply amazing riding, really enjoyed the music aswell.

Is there any chance we could possibly see some really cool pictures of your bike? it looks pretty in HD from afar, just want to see it closer :)

-Colin B

[aki]

Simply amazing...

BTW, does doing parkour help with trials in terms of dealing with heights or knowing how to fall if you have to bail?

[no_seat_no_ED]

great video.. will probably watch this a dozen times tomorrow.

[NOS-Trial]

fantastic riding! -> fantastic action! -> fantastic video!


how are your drilled cranks working? whats the weight of the whole bike?

[tomacropod]

awesome dude, love the colours! OMG colours. That blue flower was my favourite, bouncing back and forward...

- Joel

[beastoftheeast]

great riding, music, loved everything about the vid :bowdown:

[TRA]

After braking my wrists 3 times , and especially my left one which is really bad now , ive had problems with dropgaps especially because im afraid of snapping the chain etc. So heights has actually been problematic , and some parkour makes it more naturally to move in big heights, i do it sometimes.

But i want to ride some mototrials again, alot of height in it .

Drilled cranks are fine , hehe .

The weight with mag pedals is at about 9.3 kg ...

[stefan]

thank you for the great vids ! tra is the only rider that puts so much effort ( and results ! ) in riding AND filming ! that's why he is the lone rider ! the only one !
you can be proud of your work !

cheers !

[RyanMcVicker]

How do you like the new Coust. frame?

[TRA]

I have a contract with KOXX .. i can either say "no comment" or give lies .. which do you prefer ? =P

[Juhan]

So you just said that you don't like it ?

[wimmeretz]

i think he just hates the horizontals, like everyone who rides it...

[Bryan]

I'm guessing he likes it as much as their rear tire, gloves, front brake, bars and stem :dunno:

[TRA]

there are issues which does not suit my kind of riding , but giacomo does well on it for sure!

[planetary1]

awesome dude, love the colours! OMG colours. That blue flower was my favourite, bouncing back and forward...

- Joel

I noticed that shot too...was a great shot...too professional for a free vid!


loved the video!

[xirurg]

Fantastic riding!!!!!!fantastic video!!!This is a best video when i ever see...:bowdown::eek3:,Gravity? No respect !:Sonic:

[rav]

Nice one, love the editing, and huge moves.

[Lexbiketrial]

no words, incredible......i think it's your best video..... :l

I've a question: which kind of pads do you use in the rear v-brake?

[TRA]

i have been using Ali C`s special compound .. But ive noticed that its more up to the vee brake setup rather then brake compound to get good braking power

[LanceT]

High BB, long chainstay TRA signature model.

When do we see it?

[TRA]

we will see what happens ..

[Cryo-Cube]

will it have a viking horn so you can warn people to get out of the way?

[RyanMcVicker]

i think he just hates the horizontals, like everyone who rides it...

why wouldn't you like horizontals? you get perfect chain tensioning.. on my vertical dropouts on my coust i have to retension my tenioner every 5 minutes...

[Cryo-Cube]

well maybe get a decent tensioner or build one

[SLB]

Beautiful footage...

Loved the 'tweaked out' up to front on the road barriers.

[mhoulmont]

why would you not like horizontal dropouts? i love them to death.

[chronic]

Almost forgot to post.

I love the bike theft scene haha. Just some guys you paid on the street to be in your video? lol

Bitchen video!

[RyanMcVicker]

well maybe get a decent tensioner or build one

i have used deraileurs... surly singleators... and the one that ive used the most is what i have now, the rennen. the rennen is good because you can't snap the hangers, but its not spring tensioned so eventually it becomes loose no matter how much you tighten it.

watched part 2... good stuff as always :D

[Megamo123]

:bowdown:Amazing riding!

Im interested in hearing abit more about what you don't like about the V2.

[TRA]

too short chainstay which is a result of horizontal dropouts ..

But this is only MY oppinion , gilles giacomo and vincent all have same chainstay lenght , they seem to like it , lol .

Those are all not good tensioners in terms of breakability.
There are alot of light&small tensioner designs which are almot unbreakable.

[THE MANGLER]

I can't get it to download.

I just ordered the Yess tensioner, we'll see how that goes for me. The thing is with my setup i have 385mm chainstays and 18/15 gear ratio, which leaves me with alot of slack chain. From what i've heard about the yess tensioner it will hopefully be a good solution. Keep the tension AND provide hanger protection. yum.

What program do you edit your videos with Thomas?

[Ebon Dragon]

Definately get the "susp" kit then, lots of chain wrap and it'll cover the extra slack that forms with 385mm 18/15 (what I have)

[RyanMcVicker]

yea i ordered that too... i can't wait :P

[CPHun]

Cheers Thomas,

Thanks for this beautiful video. I liked it a lot.
9,3 kg is very good for your bike. My Adamant A1 is 9,7 kg now with MG-1 and Big Betty. But the frame is still heavy. :)

[Mao]

how name is the music on TRA lone rider part 2 :> ?

[wimmeretz]

@TRA: how is the big betty compared to the tryall - or if you don´t want to say compared to a tire that is equal to the tryall :luke:? does it pinch flat easy? is it as bouncy as the tryall? how does it feel when gapping from very small things, like rails or sharp stones? compound is goey gluey and size 2,4?

greets from Austria!

[Aves]

how name is the music on TRA lone rider part 2 :> ?
I?m interested in the music,too!
Lone Rider 1 and part 2...
:)

[templarbond]

Thomas, you are a real artist in all respects.

[THE MANGLER]

I still can not get these videos to download. FUCK!
