  1. For the past few months, every day, without fail, hours after putting it there, my bike will roll forwards a couple centimetres. I’ll be in bed, it’s by my window- and sometime around 9/10pm, I’ll hear the very distinctive hope hub ratchet around 2/3 clicks. With no exceptions. It’s leant against my wall a different way every time, it’s been used that day at a different time each day, and yet it still does it. 

    Genuinely freaks me out a little bit. 

    Anyone ever have something similar?

  2. I’m talking more about iconic bikes from videos that you desperately yearned for, despite the fact they could’ve been garbage, and also not the type of bike you’d ever want to ride, but something about them made you want to chuck your bike in the nearest bin and go get one. 

    I’m expecting some oldies on here.

    top three for me I’d say: 

    1. Ali’s golden rim’d arcade. I’m not known to be the biggest ali fan, but the inspired arcade video this was in is one of my all time favourite videos, when it came out I had it on repeat.when I went to tartydays for the first time, this bike was also in the video from the year before and I would watch it all the time, all nervous to go meet real riders.

    2: Flipp’s Marino from his welcome to tartybikes video and clean2. If I remember right, the geo was all wrong and it wasn’t particularly nice, but the welcome to tartybikes Video is the reason I went brakeless.

    3: TRA’s Echo 24”, in particular with the short stem on it. f**k me he could throw that thing about. Made me want one so bad- still kinda do.

    funny how none of these are remotely similar to the style of bike I ended up sticking with (mostly)

    5 minutes from my front door. Got a load of great spots round town to hurt myself at. 2 minutes from my house is the beach /breakwater area and it is littered with large rocks that one day I fully intend to throw myself and my bike at. Suppose I'm quite lucky really as I dont need to travel to find a good spot 

     

    as above, i live in coventry centre so theres loads of street spots for me. some fairly random rocks littered about too

  4. found these going through the computer of things i filmed/were on my camera, felt like making a video. 

    featuring Mistawong™   Zach, and myself. some good rides in here. (think matt held the camera for some of my clips)

    fun times. roll on 2019.

  5. Rode again after a weekend of not due to a broken bike. I was sitting in bed about two hours ago, wasted day, watched too many trials videos, and had to get out. Boy am I glad I did. Re-did some lines I haven’t done in yonks- And some new ones. In the dark. Was in complete send it mode. I really, really love it when that happens. 

    Oh and the bike looks rad. Still slightly bitter about my disc brake dying on me though.

    I was actually a bit disappointed by that. Impressive locations but the riding was fairly tame considering what he does on a daily basis and the sorts of things we're used to seeing Danny (and Kris) do. 

    Edit: How obscene is it that I'm a bit 'meh' about someone dropping out of a helicopter onto the helipad of the Burj Al Arab on a BMX... Crazy times.

    its not obscene- its kriss kyle. we know what he's capable of, this video looks like he's holiding back, which puts a meh atmosphere on it..

  7. Flipp came down to ride the weekend gone, we rode Cov saturday and oxford sunday- couldnt be arsed lugging my camera around, so its just random phone clips :P 'twas a fun one. wasnt expecting the 20/30 turning up for the oxford stunts. shame we got kicked off pretty much everything.

    credit to John Shrewsbury for that rad second dropgap angle.

    I remember when it was like that :/

    I found the key is constantly having a riding goal, no matter how good (or not) you may get- then everytime I see the bike I’m hyped to go try it :D
