That tribalzine banner nearly knocked me out! Quite liked his style but a wee bit more variation would have been good to see.

Couple from the other day of my mate Gordon.

Is that a water bottle or a biscuit tin?

At least mine fades at the end!

I dont know. I think that sloped wall side hop at the MOD is a decent size? Might have to get a better angle on it.

Is that a TV or a microwave?

Cool spot and nice riding. Wtf happened when you cased it?

Amen! I've never tried my bars upside down but the thought of it gives me the boak. Guys like Carthy (and more recently I noticed Dave Kerr) riding their bars like that, really suit them for the style they have but it's just not for me. As for the side hops, I think they were the last thing I ever got the hang of back when I started out riding and never really got into doing them all the time as there was so many other lines to be had with other moves, not just one single wall to boon up. Thanks for the positive responses.

Sweet fringes boys! Oh, I mean frenchies. Quality style from both of you. Especially like the lads on the 26".

What the hell was that at 2:07? LoL! Bike looks light as f**k. What weight is it?

Whatever geo you've chosen, it seems to be spot on for you. That's the most comfortable you've looked on any frame I've seen you ride. Nice work!

Not at all! I missed it completely and punctured my front tube! That person in the window looks like they're wanking off! In reality it was a kind woman who offered to film for me because she noticed I was struggling with setting up my phone. Thanks man but no, I'm not a BMX'r at all. Never really been a fan of riding BMX's. Ill happily watch BMX edits all day long as inspiration and just for how generally awesome they are to watch compared to most trials videos but never rode them. What makes you say that anyway?

So, once again, some of you may have seen these clips. I've been pottering around trying to find locations I can sit my iPhone on its side to film the clips - I've not even used a tripod, mostly walls and bollards. A couple of the clips I've had to film twice because the wind had blown over my phone. Fml. I've also just downloaded a free app to edit together the clips so excuse how raw it all is.. Frames about to shit the bed, so thought I'd get an edit out before it does. Watching the clips back there's a few things I want to work on. Popping up to back wheel for example. It annoys me how quickly I do it. Almost like I'm loosing control, nearly looping out.. Probably over thinking things. Anyway, let me know your thoughts. Ta. Also, that last clip I was trying to be street. I suck balls.

Was going to rant about relying on people but I guess some have to... Do you struggle to hear your alarm clock or something?

Looking at the linkage the rear of the shock would lift up slightly on the stroke? No? Maybe even a few mm?

37 standard. Can do as much as I like extra for either ham* or flexi-leave. Combat Systems Engineer on naval ships. I commission the weapons Rainbird fires. *(overtime) We usually have stints at sea for 2-3 weeks at a time during test firing so im used to long hours and being away from home for periods of time but I'm actually considering a job change at the moment and im wondering if anyone works a 2 on 2 off or 3 on 3 off type rota and how they get on with it? My partner's father works 3 and 3 and most times he's home he goes abroad snowboarding etc etc. Seems like a good set up to me! Anyone care to share their experiences?

Can you only take your watter bottle out when you land a big drop?

I'd ride one! Might go with it once my echo falls apart. Enjoyed the video too by the way. Some of those spots!

Ha, noob! I want to know more about the other bike he was cutting about on.

There's never going to be one true bar shape. They can think about it till the cows come home but no one will ever please everyone. I'm going to mention it here too...Their contacts page is shite. Anyone else having problems with it? Quality@echo.bike doesnt work! Just get my email pinged back.

Or Curtis forks if you can find some. Its what Danny Mac used to use before Inspireds came out because he would snap everything else doing 500 hooks every night.

I dont think Marino has a massive amount of tube sizes but maybe adding extra tubes a using a frame design which also reinforces it could be a good idea? Something like a triple seat tube set up and/or an extra tube between the top tube and down tube, a bit like the Inpulse?

Have a look for Damon Watsons JAF...

The contact links on the contacts page dont work.

LOL at that first head slam.
