  1. I was doing a show down that way so went and explored. I was trying the brick wall line you did to front then rear the other way and using the rock to hook then drop down to the rail.
  2. I've ridden some of those spots. Where are they again? First side hop looked effortless.
  3. Ok, so time to come clean. What I'm meant to be doing is teaching some younger kids, (some scooter riders, some not), who are being bullied in a skate park by the "bigger boys". Ive been asked to show them some tricks which they can then take away and build on. I tried to explain to the girl who got in touch that theres park etiquette which the younger generation wont understand, and thats why the older kids are getting upset. As Matt24 rightly says, they cut lines etc, so I want to be able to educate them in how to use the park properly and safely so everyone can get along.
  4. Now that's the mongo trials rider's responses out of the way... Anyone else?
  5. Yo. So everyone knows how to use a skate park, right? No, no they don’t. We have scooter kids blasting in front of your lines, not giving a toss what’s going on. They hang off the edge of the coping and skip queues. What I want to know is; what is everyone’s view on park etiquette? Whats the do's and don’ts? Whats happened to you that could have been stopped if everyone was educated enough in using the park properly. If anyone has any links to any other threads or topics like this could you please link me? Ta.
  6. Scratches white aluminium frame. Puts red nail polish on to stop it from rusting.
  7. Right, so, after all that pish with me thinking I had a hole in the exhaust then the garage telling me it was needing a Terra Clean or a top engine rebuild on my 1.9 tdi VW Passatt. Turns out the problem is actually..... Can you guess? A worn wheel bearing. Wont be taking my car back to that garage thats for sure.
  8. Why have I just watch'ned this? Loads of sluts there
  9. Not a massive fan of the green and gun smoke. How's the bash attached? Just sandwiched between the bb and frame?
  10. http://www.pinkbike.com/news/full-exposure-danny-macaskill-playboy-scenes-2014.html
  11. Since we're slating it to fu ck. Saddle needs slammed. It's like looking at a gunt* with that seat tube showing. Old cranks rubbed to f**k on a new build? Mate! Naw! Yuv git more sponsors than Rowan Johns, so pit sim new yins on. *where a woman's gut meets her cun t and it becomes confusing as to where one stops and the other begins.
  12. I can smell those cranks and that bit of tape on the forks from here.
  13. Maybe it compliments the geometry of the bike.
  14. There's a lot more to dislike about Leeson bikes than there is to like. I'm not fond of their skinny seat tubes. The tensioning system is crap too. No push up and lock tensioner has ever worked that well. The welding of the seat tubes like that on the 24 is creating more places for it to crack in that area. Am I right in saying the BB is pressed in? It’s so much easier having a screw in BB. Saying all of that, I do love the 360 dropouts.
  15. Have you got a close up picture of the disc mount?
  16. One of the best things about this comp was that you didn't have to pay to enter, yet the prizes were fu cking awesome. I'm pretty sure evryone who came got something. Even the guys who came to watch walked away smiling.
  17. Big thanks to Ian for organising and the sponsors tarty bikes, inspired and trial tech. Great riding, friendly people and great spot choices. Well done to the winners, Ben Travis, Andrew Chai, Aaron Browne and myself. Anyone got a freewheel?
  18. My free wheel can't decide between either wanting 2, 10, or 108 engagements. Today is going to be interesting.
  19. People actually ride in such a way to protect their parts from breaking? If my forks arnt snapping from trying to do bigger into fronts than I already can, I'm doing it wrong.
  20. Gotta be in it to win it. Can I just say..Be careful what you give to whom. I hate seeing prizes being given out then them being on EBay the next day because the winner has no use for them. Can I just say also..Make sure and give all the prizes out. Don’t just say you will then dish them out between the organisers, like they do in the British comp rounds.
  21. I’m disappointed. No TRA or Inspireds in here.
  22. I was actaully going to put that down but couldnt remember. I think there is a dividend at the end of each tax year which gets divied up between members.
