You have an idea of what you want to be in a couple of years do you? Whats that? Famous? Not gonna happen mate. Back in yer box.

Could you make me a really small XC bike please? Dont bother with a seat pin hole, I stand up loads. 4 bolt mounts? Yeah! All the XC boys use them these days!

Yea, what I was getting at is, what do you offer your sponsors other than a few clips of you doing (big) side hops?

Hey man, nice side hops! HUGE! Do you ever do any comps or anything?

Fixed, flat pedals and no brakes?

Some may argue that the seat stays coming over the seat tube like that would make it more likely to crack. You should probably lay off the energy drinks. Looks sweet. Love the way these ones ride!

Almost looks half decent that.

I'd love a slightly smaller scale version of that in my garden. Like that its on concrete, not grass.

Cheers for putting that together Ben. Decent weekend was had. Glad you boys seem to like it. What's that in the Vimeo blurb about a separate video then?

VInce just got bossed by a nobody.

I'm surprised they didnt laugh then slap you! "Trials? Hahaha" Whhiiipppsshhh. Not as outlandish as it may seem - Magura did it to Tarty! Anyway, I'm excited too!

Nice. I'd like to see a proper edit from Kenny in Oman. Those rock spots looked sweet!

Dave Kerr was going on about another company testing a CNC style rim brake but wouldnt let on who, so this might be true! Anyway, its Shimano who should be making one!

Some say it was actual Deng who didn’t let his tyres down on that Malaysian flight. I wouldn’t take my chances.

Yup, I was going to mention that. How big is your tent? Does it have a porch? If it rains and it gets wet, you'll be royally f**ked. So keep it under cover. Just ask around and see if you can store it anywhere. The disabled portaloo maybe?

If you dont have a bike bag, or know someone who has one which you can borrow, then a spare bike box from the local bike shop should be enough. Shops which I would try would be, Evans, Alpine Bikes, Dales, any other local bike shop, yadda yadda... You'll also need a supply of parcel tape which you'll get from Tesco, Asda etc for about £1 per roll. The box should be big enough for you to leave your rear wheel on. So, front wheel off, stem off (leave your bars on the stem and put the top cap back on the forks so as to hold on your headset bits and head set stackers/spacers on) If you had a tensioner, which I know you dont, then I would have advised taking off the tensioner and havng the chain slack, as these can be bashed in transit and end up bending your hanger. You'll also need to take your pedals off to fit the bike in the box. With pedals, if you have a heavy duty plastic bag or some sort of bag which you can use to keep your pedals from falling around inside the box and scratching your frame and parts, then use that! Pedal pins poke through shitty thin bags. Best remember to transport a small bag of tools to build up your bike when you get to where you're going! Take that spare parcel tape with you too in a seperate bag. I usually write my address and contact details on the box too, so if it goes missing or gets mixed up with flights, it can be retured to you. I've seen people attaching skate boards to the bottom of bike boxes to roll them along instead of carrying them, so if you're overly keen, you could try that too?

To be fair, the stair bump bar spin was cool. Did I see another bar spin off a ledge too? Love a good bar spin.

Is a shank the same as a crank?

I bet its spurred him on to dig out his old photos too. I see from his Instagram that he's been "clearing" out the loft.

I dont think I would have ever started riding trials if thats what bar angles looked like back then.

Good ol Kinloch eh? Was that "the mound"? Some good clips. Your train track doesnt look very smooth though
