  1. Watching videos of people riding Portland reminds me of the good old days. great riding! On a side note, this bars angle really far forward thing that alot of the top comp guys are doing at the moment, just a craze or here to stay? personally I think it looks a little wierd. The up-sweep with the bars in that position must be similar to a good old set of flat bars, which will probably be back in fashion come 2013. lol
  2. This whole "trials isn't trials unless its trials" arguement is getting a bit old now and really needs to be put to bed. Patronising "trials history lessons", leaving non-constructive negitive feedback on video's, TGS extremist putting the metaphorical "Jehad" on street riders and vica versa. This all really needs to stop!! come on guy, chill out! this thread is like re-reading a really bad book. Surely people must be getting just as bored of typing the same drool over and over on countless treads as I am of reading it?
  3. Glad you are enjoying it Dave, she was good to me, treat her well.
  4. Thanks for the comments guys. Yeah full length outer cable to stop dirt getting in. There is nothing worse than gritty feeling v brakes. I didn't realise onza did a 'phat' version of their pads? To be honest I will probably go for the slim versions next time and the phat ones only just fit on the rim when new and look a little gay IMO. They do work well on the smooth rim though. Changing the forks,bars and stem has made a massive difference. I think the straight blade forks give it a more streety look too.
  5. My new Zoot with a few mods. - Avid Single Digit 7's (Inspired Phat pads on rear, Avid Rim Wrangler on front) - Tectro Levers - Tectro Brake Booster - Echo Urban Forks - Trialtech stem - Viz Pro 700 bars - Salt grips
  6. I didn't get to make it this year but hopefully will get a chance to come next year. How about a 'bike and parts jumble sale'? Bring down your old trials parts and try and sell them on? With so many riders in one place it could be a good oppitunity to pick up a bargain or make a bit of cash.
  7. Good Work Dan, not only a top bloke but a brilliant rider too. This is one of my favourite video's.
  8. Good work Neil!! Seriously impressive riding, those monster gaps to front wheel look like they take some serious commitment!! Although not quite as much commitment as some people put in to arguing about completly of topic things on this forum!! Heres a suggestion! Instead of wasting time and creative juices thinking of half whitted abuse to post to each other, go out and ride your bikes, improve your skills, develop interesting new riding styles, film it, make interesting edits and then post thoses edits on the forum for the entertainment of others. This would save everyone else the annoyance of having to scroll through endless droll of abusive posts to pick out the comments in the thread that are on topic and interesting to read. Rant over. Cheers
  9. Nice riding, I really like the style!
  10. That was awesome! such a great style!
  11. That disk mount doesn't look quite right to me. I like the I-section design on the tab to try and reduce weigh without compromising strength but I think it could do with a larger weld contact area between the fork leg and the tab to help spread the load under braking and reduce the stress.
  12. What a machine!! He pretty much has every trick in the book, and then decided to make some new ones. that flair drop in thing was sick!!
  13. The riding was awesome, some serious style going on. Great to see Chris riding a trials bike again. That fall was mental!!! Hope he has a speedy recovery and is back on a bike soon. Nick
  14. lol, I see what you mean. I was half expection him to morph into a sword wielding robot at the end. Parkour: when you are too poor to buy a trials bike! To be fair it's is very impressive. Danny's riding always looks so good! love it!
