Face slam Drop out of the tree was HUGE! 12ft? Kicker to front was my favourite.

Yipee! Done my nut in last year.

Cheers Chimpy. I had a similar comment on FB. I think it's time to work on some bigger stuff now that the winter sketchiness is away.

Fair enough! To be fair I missed it last year too due to some shows so can't say much about attendance myself! Going to miss not having it there this year.

Ok so maybe they've heard of it before but might not have had the chance to see it up close. The point I was making is that those kind of people are the types of people who, I think, would be most likely to get into the sport after seeing it. No?

Really? They let the best chance of advertising Trials to the people who may be interested in it the most go because of "relatively low attendances"? Go figure eh. While I'm here, I read somewhere that part of the £20 fee for riding a trial goes towards funding trips around the world for the little kiddies. Is that true?

Willing to shed some light on the lack of Fort William this year? Does someone want to tell them we're not coming? http://fortwilliamworldcup.co.uk/what-and-when/trials/

Cheers G. The rim and tyre combo is the best I've used. The narrow rim gives a good height to the tyre giving lots of bounce at high pressures meaning it wont 'flex' or 'roll' off the rim like your Maxxis might. The DMR moto is the only other tyre I've known to have the same characteristics as the Conti. But if you're a wank, you wont be able to comprehend this. Yep, thanks to Vimeo for that. The only other way I could have done that is to have a paid for Vimeo account... Yea, I've had grief from punters there before. Why so aggressive Mrs? I think with having discs and not squawking maguras I got away with it for the hour I was there. What's the Scottish Style points for? Hmm, yea, the Echo is becoming less and less appealing....Grrrr. I'm off to watch a couple of Carthy videos to get the feeling back. The song was off of the film Secret Life of Walter Mitty Sound track. If you've not seen it and enjoy adventure, I recommend it. Bit of a weans film but I enjoyed it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiOYQwgAoI4

Yet another dry day with no wind. No bangers, just chilled riding.

Loved that bike. Shame I couldn't get the brakes to work as well as I wanted.

I thought I had rescued a baby rabbit one day, years ago. Got it home and it was practically dead. So put it in a polly bag, took it to the wheelie bin, swung the bag round in circles till I was about to take off and let it go into the bin. I was sure the thud killed it. Didn't bother checking.

Rail work was spot on. Smooth and Tech.

Noise. Wears your chain out faster. Trousers can get caught in the FFW/chain.

I smell Tony Harrison.

Cheers guys. Yea, I'm going to have to go back and film some more lines at that spot. The rail ride to drop in is on!

Great idea. And good to be poking fun at brakeless, cos it was gettin kinda serious there.

For commuting. Charge Duster with Pace forks. Built with random bits I had lying round. Didn't have enough of the same colour chain ring bolts for example... For the build I bought, frame with fork, brakes and pedals. Everything else was spares from years of hoarding. Gearing is 32:15

You could probably get some good money for that stem on eBay. Change it for a cheaper one freeing up some cash for other bits?

Haha! f**k'n nick of that garage.

Cool spot. Is there a reason you don't wheel switch straight to back? having to do tiny hops like that to get my back wheel into place would annoy the shit out of me.

This is exactly what I've just done, building a commuting bike for work. Pics later.

Yes boys! Aarons foot work and kerb action was sweet.

I was feeling a little homesick, nostalgic even. So off I went back to my home town of Cumbernauld to hit some street spots I've not touched in years. The Weather was perfect, the walls were mossy and had touches of ice in the shadows but all I could tell myself was, 'hit it faster'. Enjoy. Thanks to @weebryan for filming!

So good. Bike looks awesome. Has that prototype colour about it.
