First trials ride on my new 2009 Echo Control. It replaces my old 2002 Echo ES3 urban trials bike.

  • Cool vid and some awesome riding spots there. New controls are amazing to ride, I'm so thrilled with mine. Have you thought about grinding your back rim?

  • I just ran smooth with some Moe pads while I was on my regular pads. I have a grind now with blue Rock pads and like it better. I am totally happy with the bike after riding it a few weeks now.

  • Probably not. It is build quite light for competition riding. Usually a beginner should have a beefier bike to handle the mistakes they make while they are learning. Then you could move to something like the Control once you have the basics down. I would suggest a Zoo, Adamant or any bike you could find used to start with first.

  • @plichhayy1 I am aware of only one distributor in the USA: webcyclery. They have a great web site run by a bike shop in Oregon. The 2011 Echo Control is currently on sale for a good price actually.

  • At the time you posted this video, how long had you been riding? I'm impressed. I bought a used 2008 Control last year. Great bike. It's cool to see someone else riding it. You did a good job with the video. Where exactly is this dope riding spot?

  • i currently moto trials , but im dying to get into this form of trials as well i just dont even know where to start...could i buy or order one of these from a local frameworks shop ... or is ther a internet site to order one from ?

  • IS VERY GOOD ;)

    

  • thats a weird bike

  • Nice riding! I have recently purchased an echo control 09. You seem to be running a high tyre pressure though. some heavy landings...

  • amazing :)

  • Nice Location ^^

  • oooooh that's one sweet spot! (i would advise you to relax a little, you have the power, but with a little more control you'd ride even better.

    cheers

  • yeah nice bike indeed . you should try TNN engineering pads . ive been running them on my bike and they havent slipped once yet and they last longer than anything else ive used on a heavy grind
