Happy days indeed mate, used to do it like ten years ago. Still see the odd kid doing it now and again, makes me go home and get on ebay. Used to ride a Hans Rey GT 20" trials bike!

not technically a 224 mate swing arm is but front end is a prototype for a 224 evo and the frame was rode by julien camellini for the orange mojo team i know a lad at orange so get stuff for good money once its done with and its better than a 224 for better than 224 money

Aye .. Nice .. Evo has the adjustable head angle insert's .. Not to keen on the newer frame. The GBR 224 was the boyo.
P.S .. Keep it British .. Class

Whislter on the other hand ...
Rode Kamloops etc etc .. Use to race in the Fernie Cup .. Never won out but good for a laugh.
By all account's Steve Peat didnt like the new Orange's either ... Maybe it was the ŁŁŁŁ and not the bike?
P.S only have the one Bike .. Only ride for fun .. To easy for an Unfit 20 a day smoker to ride in other parts of the world.

lol peaty loved the 224 mate as i met him and rode with him on occasion (and the fact orange only make bikes go to production IF the team riders give it 2 thumbs up otherwise it goews back to the rawing board draws off the team riders thoughts and then it comes back revised for example the 2011 patriot is floating around these parts now 2 models one with a lighter rear end and one with a more solid dh rear end ) with the other lads at orange 
only reason he moved to the syndicate was the fact he now has nothing to arrange other than getting to the airport on time as he has a manager ! oh and more money !
and the money wasn't brilliant on orange either mate i do know that much

My friend Beau who was one of if not the best trials riding in the country. He was just superb on a bike.. jumped on my bike and made me look like i'd never rode one before lol. Unfortunatly he died last year aged only 18
This is my other friends Orange 224 World Champ edition.. (pictures taken before stickers) which i've currently got sitting next to me
So easy to ride downhill it's unreal..
