I didn't like the song - but yeah, it suited the riding quite well I think. Mr. Watson - you are very silly. What kind of silly billy jumps from walls and rails on a bike? Especially at those distances. He he. You ARE a strange one. Very nice

Well you're just a bloody nut-job ain't you. Not heard that song in aaaages. Editing was immense. Loved it.

But then lets face the facts: Saying that TRA can snap a frame isn't saying much. He's built like a tank, and I wouldn't be surprised if he could snap a frame clean in half, to which other people couldn't even dent! EDIT: No offence to TRA - just stating facts

It's a long-shot, but does anyone know the song at the end of Damon Watson 5? It's like a heartbeat, with his bails as the video part, along with sidehopping the BMX. Adds a little guitar/keyboard (hard to tell) on a failed hook. Anyone know? Please?

I can only think - if it's a brand new frame - you may have had a freak of machine and the hole is the tiniest bit too small? Sound's a dumb question, but is it a compatable headset? I know someone who had a frame to take an internal headset, but got a normal one that was somehow a lot wider, and hit that in. The interior bit of the cups was much longer, and butted up against the bearing braces inside the frame - leaving about 2.5mm jutting out the bottom. Other than that.... Pffffff..... Did you put it in wonkey? Not a clue.

I would advise you to take that as "You're a bloody nut-job bud.", as that's how it was intended

Meh. Riding wasn't exactly bad.

Adamant suits you MUCH better than the Zoo!. Song annoyed the hell outa me, but was a good vid on the whole Nice one.

'Fraid that's a re-post mate. AWESOME video though.

I've heard - from various accounts - that the try-all freewheel is utter... erm... bad. I don't know why (ie, wether it skip a lot, or just brakes easily) but from independant sources, I hear to steer clear of them.

Did anyone else get caught out riding by it today? I was out with Boumsong, and we took refuge in a tunnel for 2 1/2 to 3 hours... Wasn't all that fun. We then proceded to ride for another 3 hours Your stories? I have LOTS of footage of the lightening and rain. Video will be uploaded soon. 'Tis very funny some of it.

Perhaps not the greatest riding spot ever - but then, it wasn't designed for that now, was it? Architecturally, it's immense.

2:58 = Bad luck. That would have been phenominal.

Right. I put all the slowmo in as he said he wanted a video so he could watch his technique. I didn't think it'd turn out NEARLY so nice, and I was just gonna send it to him. No nettage atall. Were it a real video, I wouldn't have He's not nearly good enough to merit that amount of slomo. Hahaha

Ok - digging up an old topic for those who asked to let them know how it went. I decided to go for it. Got a set of SD7s, an XTR booster, cable, heatsink CNC V pads (x2 sets), bolts from Rich (Karsonlevoret) and he chucked a lever in for free! (Totalled £50 posted) Didn't fancy spending £30 on Heatsink adapter if there was a chance the cable would clip on my tyre, so I got a legend of a guy called Ed Potts (Dave85) to make me a custom one. He made, fitted, and set up the whole thing for £20 for me. A post from the man himself - as he has the bike, and I don't get it back 'till tomorrow - will follow. When I get it back, I'll be sure to whack some pictures up aswell for you all

If it's brand new, and skipping like crazy, send it back and get a replacement. No point trying to fix what can be replaced for a perfect one.

Is the headtube angle really abrupt, or am I just used to seeing bloody Pitbulls? I like it. A lot Different to most any bike I've seen. Think it would be infinately better with dual disk though. Love how big the tyres look with black rims. I know you can't - what without the mounts 'n' all - but still... I'd like to see it

+1 Really good effort there mate

If it can't be trued, just buy the widest front rim you can find?

Cabinet maker

Mod 2 just takes it on Mod 3. Both are lush - but 2 is... ...lusher. Hahaha

Mentalist. Hahaha

The BB area doesn't look so bad to me now. Would still prefer it to be solid, though the first picture looked as though it had only the top and bottom strips. May stand up to more abuse with 3 strips.

Can't view it. Someone convert to .mpg*, wmv or likewise please.

What's a boon?
