I think it's pretty clear, if you have a sponsor you enter the sponsored category. Everyone else enters the novice (unsponsored) category.

All I know is that back home there is no NHS, all healthcare is privatised and the level of care is significantly better than the NHS. I know it's pretty dick for poor people, but then, if you're on income support and stuff the local government covers your fees anyway, same as if your a child, elderly or mentally handicapped. All it means is people actually take the initiative to secure decent health insurance. The other thing that happens is that people don't pull sickies all the time 'cause they have to pay for seeing the doctor to get a doctors note. Which is a bonus. When I knackered my ankle over here I went to the NHS and they didn't even strap it, just told me it was a sprain and I should start weight bearing as soon as possible to speed the healing, I had to actually ask several times before they would give me crutches. When I went home I PAID to go see a doctor, who referred me to a specialist, who in turn was horrified at the NHS's approach to my f**ked ankle. I've got it sorted now, but the NHS set me back quite a few months. I'd rather pay for a good quality service than receive a shitty below par one for free.

I thought this was going to be some kind of communist rant, I was a little disappointed.

An extension would be so so so welcome, definitely a yes from me!

Weird, that doesn't look like an Inspired that he's riding..

Not sure if you were trying to be ironic or not, but this made me chuckle.

Animal Farm.

+1 for Nike 6.0 I'm using the mogan mid 2 se's at the moment 'cause I was after something to give me more ankle support, they're really comfy and my ankles loving them too. Real grippy too, but I haven't had them for very long so I can't say how long the soles will last.. That's the problem I always have with DCs, the sole rips to shreds

Yeah, that definitely sounds like you're doing something wrong. Whack some pictures up, maybe connect up what you have left of the chain (off the bike) just so you can take a snap of where you have joined the chain up.

Wow, entries are coming in thick and fast now, exciting stuff! I currently have 20secs of footage and no means of editing but I'm optimistic that it will stop raining long enough for me to film more than one clip!! I would have assumed that Matt Turner would have gone in the sponsored category but would stand trial as a juvenile, are we to assume that he will therefore be tried as an adult in the novice category? I don't have any issues either way, just curious. Ben, has the realisation that this is potentially going to be the most difficult thing to judge ever kicked in yet? There are going to be an insane amount of videos to chose from! I'm not envious at all. I think you need more judges!

Excellent! Definitely going to be following this blog, first few updates are an interesting read for sure, Dressler sounds awesome, I'd never even heard of the event before Ali spoke about it! I'm looking forward to future updates and I'm expecting good things from this blog, especially with you at the helm, Ben

But, why?

One gear stick, one hand brake. Edit: FUUUUU DANN

One down, two to go...

Does it leak loads or sort of dribble? I don't think I've owned a water bottle that doesn't piss all over me. I kinda like it though, not because I'm a sexual deviant but because I like the refreshing splash of water on my face when I guzzle down some H2O.

I know he's a nice guy and all, but he really does seem to make a habit of this sort of thing..

I think the rim is an Inspired Pro. If you find somewhere that you can bulk buy from I'll chip in with you for a whack, I need to top up!

I got my first mobile 8 yeaars ago when I was in my last year of secondary school The weird thing about how mobiles have changed the world is that I still remember all my friends home numbers from before I had a mobile phone but the only mobile numbers I have remembered post mobile phones are my parents. Besides that everything gets stored on my phone and if I lose it I'm knackered. I don't even know my own mobile number off by heart! I would say that probably 80% of my communication is through facebook now, probably 15% is phone calls and only 5% is texts.

YES! Can't wait to see what you guys come up with for the comp, should be pretty damn cool!

The weekend tickets are sold out..

Aaaaahhh man, I only just decided I wanted to go and got myself a little hyped about it and now it's too late! That's what happens when you spend too much time debating shit in your head I guess.
