Default My New Bedford Trials BC wheel


Hi everyone, yesterday my new trials bc wheel came and its awesome It
has an orange powder coated rim and orange grip tape on Pro Platforms.
The 2.5" tire makes it sooo much smoother. Going up curbs its alot
easier and coming down them is like a little bump in the road, its cool.
Right now on my other bc my highest landed hop is 20", i can do 17.5"
really consistantly and i have cleared 26" but not ridden away so those
hights might improve faster now. Usually when i ride my normal bedford
bc, i have the wheel rubbing against my leg to slow down and if i need
more control...not with the trials. First i rode it without shinguards
and my leg hurt from the tire rubbing it then i put on my 661s (they
were worn down on the side where i put the tire to slow down going down
hills and stuff) within a few feet, i tore a hole right in my 661s
Its not that big of a problem because i will learn to bow my legs more
so it doesnt eat me. Right now i have a brand new luna on it but i also
have a brand new maxxis creepy crawler so i will ride it with both and
see which one i like better.

I had that problem too but it was just my birthday so i used birthday
money from 2 people, some money from working and 40 dollars from my
pocket.

Right now I'm going throught the same thing i went through when i
switched from short plates to long. Hopping for hight on the trials
feels way different to me than on the smaller one so i am having some
problems but once i get used to the change i will probably be better
with the trials than the other one.
