  1. that was quite refreshing. i'm no professional, and certainly not a better rider, I saw some real potential in that, theres a bit of genericness to some of the lines but i think youre just gonna get better. thanks for the good watch.
  2. love that mercedes as always got something up their sleeves. Hate Brawns comments on the "spirit of the regs", honestly, the spirit of f1 is to find loopholes... if they change the rules to ban the merc because they didn't anticipate it, I'll be very upset..
  3. still have it yes, just on my wall for now!
  4. toward the end of 2021 I really fell out of love with riding. it felt repetitive and slightly pointless knowing i couldn't put in time to be as "good" as i want to be. Kind of coming to terms with that and remembering when I just went out for fun. also I have come to hate rim brakes. so I hung up my Crewkerz and built this: Bionic B1: found completely covered in petroleum. a lot of hours of white spirit, rags and face masks to get it slightly green again. hope pro2 evo SS on trialtech rims with jitsie tyres front and rear unknown forks, trialtech stem, jitsie Prototype carbon bars hope trialzone rear brake with a shimano up front. echo cranks, no tensioner as the chainstay is the perfect length for a stretched chain! Initial thoughts: brakes are surprisingly good. rear is 160mm for sidehop protection. It taps really nicely. the lower bb makes it very stable. my only complaint is its a bit on the heavier side. Video soon. moving to London soon for my new job so I'm excited to ride there. Cheers
  5. thanks for the good stunts, sir.
  6. the lab i used to develop my film has shut. can anyone recommend a decent film lab that does medium format?
  7. thanks mark. there's not really any clips where i'm actually doing any moves that i'd consider big for me, and as Flipp knows i was quite anxious id not really got any of my "big" riding in there. battling rain/snow/ice every time i could if he has the little tyres that could, i have the big slicks that couldnt.
  8. This was fun to be a part of making the best of shite lockdown situations.
  9. for some reason, this for me. bersha always seems to be on it with music choices. that, or really liked this. im a bit weird with music though. probably not popular choices.
  10. Charlie is a unit. For the clips with the bars forward, I’m hidden in the background somewhere. It’s all ridiculous. First try for quite a lot of it, and even when it isn’t it’s still a “make”. So consistent.
  11. What the f**k? He made that look like it was a sloped wall...

  13. @isitafox can you deal with these scammers/ point them out to someone who can? Been a few lately <3
  14. its delicious. on a side note related to the topic: anyone who openly supports Donald Trump. and there are a lot of people who do (a large part of america, for example!) . scrolling through social media and political commentaries get me really angry/depressed. i think to myself i'm a terrible person for judging these people so much, but no matter what i do, there is nothing about that lying, sex offending, racist, murdering scumbag that i believe any good person can possibly like. i try and console myself that they've been fed false information or something, but... yeah. keeps me up at night. a lot of the time. we're going to hell in a hand basket, for sure.
  15. on second watch neils is just daft in comparison. i got nuthin.
  16. Joacim's taps are more of a frenchie, not a tap. he's hitting the top of the wall, not the front of it. think its more efficient for comp use. how big was kyles one in coventry behind the gym? that wall is pretty darn sizeable and slightly over-vert. only other one that springs to mind is one of porters ones. but i dont think its as big.
  17. i believe this is also an L! i might have that off you at some point as id like a spare! drop me a dm
  18. at 38:40, jays frontflip flair. hes not the first to do it, but he documented the leaning process and his arethe most stylish imo. blows my mind everytime.
  19. Newbikenewbikenewbike after quitteeee a long time searching, I found another cleep2! As selling mine was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made. And guess what? It’s near as can be mint/unused! Boooommmm. took great joy in taking the parts from my old build and adding them to this one. This (other than the daft pedals) is pretty much my perfect build, there is nothing about this I don’t like. There’s not many bikes that I’ve just sat and stared at for ages. le spec: (top to bottom) trialtech highrise bars (uncut) jitsie foam grips hope tech 3 front brake with hope adapter + 203mm shimano ice tech rotor trialtech rim brake lever with Trialtech hoses leading to ‘05 magura slaves with a singular tnn black (right) and Coust (left) mounted with titanium hardware and WAW clamps. New fancy top mounted integrated clean 142x27 stem hope headset crewkerz jealousy 2018 disc forks crewkerz cleep2 frame and as30 bottom bracket crewkerz as30 cranks n’ bash with front (Trialtech?) sprocket (175mm) Crewkerz sprung tensioner with dual cnc hope jockey wheels KMC z1ehx (I think, z610 replacement) hope pro2 evo hubs built to Trialtech rims with sapim spokes and blue nipples, fitted with monty pro race tyres. And another Trialtech sprocket.
  20. everyones different, everyone comes from different backgrounds. i did a bit of mountain biking, and then got a mod. then moved to 26". there was a piece of advice i found from a pro bmxer which really resonated with me. because everyone IS different, and everyone will give you a different opinion, none of which are incorrect, just find what your favourite rider did/does and do that, if you're struggling to decide. the rest will appear in time.
  21. id like to agree with this. im not sure on the science, but theres DEFINITELY a trend of people starting on mods and then changing (or not!) later once theyve got the skills. mods are easier to learn on i think. im also guilty of this. only thing i would say is going from riding big wheels to small will be quite a jump. people would suggest something like an inspired hex (street trials bike), which is a fantastic bike, but id say mods are better for learning the "trialsy" side of trials. pretty much everyone whos awesome on a street trials bike were also awesome on a normal trials bike to start with. also i think that 5"8 is a pretty spot on height for a mod.
  22. posting more than two. sue me again.
