Ross McArthur Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 You made that gap at the flats look easy. The tunes as gay as those BCs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 sweet riding, shame about your injuries, 2011 has sucked balls! I look forward to your roadtrip edit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 So I have another little update. I decided to get some footage a while back of Dunc, Ross and Towler and wanted to test the capability of my ipad for editing. Thought i'd stick it on the blog so feel free to have a gander.

ben_travis Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 So earlier this year, I managed to go on two trips with the bikes. I had a LOT of fun on both, and managed to capture some footage. My editing is VERY poor on these so I apologise. Windows Movie Maker is NOT my friend Firstly - a UK road trip with Ross McArthur (blackpool, porthcawl, bristol, barrow farm, london, hull). Had an absolute blast and got to ride with some really really good riders. Thanks to everyone who came out and joined us. It was fun. Secondly - Barcelona Trip. Some of the Scottish guys and I went out and had a really good time with lots of sun, sea and booze. All in all it was a brilliant trip and I definitely think I will be going back next year. So...both videos are up online and you can see them @ The Misconceptions Website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 It has already been stuck up in the videos topic as ross is impatient and didnt tell me he had finished the video. But he is a good friend of mine and his new video rocks. Mis-Conceptions Blog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 A new little clips video for y'all to watch. Just some lines I have been doing recently that I was reasonably happy with.

TrialsMan Dan Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Good wee video Ben! See you're getting those bunnyhop gaps nailed! See you've removed the tensioner, how have you gone about dealing with the chain tension now? Now that my Hex is built, I think Aberdeen is the first port of call for a good session, perhaps for a weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 filing dropouts is the name of the game....just had to get rid of the tensioner I was bashing it so much. just filed them at a wee angle to allow me to push the wheel further into the dropouts as necessary when the chain got slacker in regards to the weekend in aberdeen. ill come riding with you anytime. let us know. first port of call....here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) Considering I can't even view the vids as they're blocked at work I like what I see! EDIT: Just watched now I'm home, absolutely lovin the vids. Think its safe to say I'll be going brakeless when I build my 24 this week!

JD™ Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Cheers for that dude. Appreciate your comment....hopefully you'll like the update I have just stuck up online http://mis-conceptions.blogspot.co.uk/ Loving the look of that, those mounts look better than I thought they would!

isitafox Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Yeah bike looks great, so simple and clean even with the hoses on show. Look forward to seeing some footage of it in action! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 bike looks amazing Ben, I had the same idea for brake mounts, good to see they work, the dropouts look neat too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I drew up almost identical mounts a while back too. Unfortunately mine ended up in the hands of the world's worst builder (I suspect the same you mention on the blog...) who couldn't even make normal mounts that worked so that was the end of it... Hope it lives up to your expectations, though I'm sure it will, and looking forward to some clips when the opportunity crosses your path.

ben_travis Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Another little post on there: Maybe I'm Doing it Wrong.... http://mis-conceptions.blogspot.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalopS Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) That was all sorts of right! I feel your pain about "doing it wrong" though. Streets so much harder to judge speed and distances. Its bad when you know the first couple of goes are going to be bails but commiting to finnishing the line kinda makes it more worth while than just doing something you can bang out first time. Looking forward to seeing the marino in action Edited April 27, 2012 by CalopS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
