  8. Funniest Moment Riding?

    in Beginners Trials Chat

    Posted

    no the funniest but definaltly the most fun;

    we were riding under a shopping mall in the loadbays when we came accross a HUGE!!! pile of empty boxes from one of the shops.

    we started by doing over the top endos into the boxes but ended up riding as fast as we could and slamming on the front brake and flying through the air into them. it was so fun. then the polive turned up complimented my mates bike rode in a few circles on his bike and told not to go down there again.

    if only i was 15 again...

  11. Pimped Your Bike?

    My bikes shiny :ermm: wudn't really class it as being pimped though, i have a blue hub and skewers, but again, that was more of it being down to seeing bargains. I don't run dust caps, have black tyres, no seat, and everything else is either silver or black.

    As you can tell i think pimping a bike royally sucks and makes you look like a spoilt fag, fair enough you might not have had it all payed for you by mummy and daddy but at first glance thats the way it seems.

    In mine and my mates case. We’re both 21 started riding when we were about 15. We had ridge back 16" and giant 16". Every month we would look at MBUK and 'Imagine having that!'

    After 3-4 stupid years not riding we both decided to start again. And now that we are big boys we decided to get those ohhhh so good parts :)

    I know what you mean though we both thought the same when we ere 15 'he's got a bike like that! And he doesn’t even know how to ride!'

    well I’m grown up now ( older anyways) and I have a pretty good spec bike and cant even ride anymore... so I’m going to be another 'he’s got a bike like that and he cant even ride kids' :) wont be long though.

    ok its not bike related but have to share it.

    Right I was 16y's.o. Working part time at a cheap as chips clothes shop (primark). I’m putting shirts up on a rail. An old man on a mobility bike is sat waiting for his wife to queue. He puts the shopping bags that she gave him to hold to rest on his bike. The bag hits the go pedal. He shoots across the shop floor not knowing what’s going on and disappears into a big rail of pyjamas with just the back of his bike poking out. :) Still makes me chuckle now :) probably a be there moment

    the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th time i tried to tell the story i struggled to get it out due to uncontrolable laughter .

    when i was about 16 (not long started trials) me and a couple of mates were riding under a shopping mall on the loading bays and practicing wheelies on empty road.

    then we saw it... and mountain of empty boxes!!! it started out just doing an endo and stacking into the boxes then we rode a bit faster and slamed on the brakes and little bit away from boxes, we ended up riding as fast as we could slamming on the brakes and flying though the air for miles and crashing into the boxes.

    then the police and driving round the corner. they were fine though. asked what we were doing and we told them. they laugh said my mates bike looks good and rode around on it for a bit and told us not to come down here again.

    now there is a big massive cage around boxes so i dont think we were the only ones to do it :)

  20. Custom Spray Job, What Do You Think?

    Nice but i've seen the Indenti frames done in camo the same direct off them! Looks a little umm too factory done to say it's yours unless you have a work log of it~?

    Still the Giant is nice...but why Animal on the side of it! There not at all and only good for some single track, the ride trials poorly

    the camo is my spray job :) the frame isnt actuallt identiti my mate just loves the stickers. if you look closely the frame is completely different to Identiti. we think the frame is a sewer rat r something like that. he brought it cheap because the bike shop couldnt sell it as it was lylac :) so we stripped it and sprayed it. stills need the matt laqure which is why it isnt built.

    as for animal i have always like the animla clothing and their style so thought i could spray me a bike.
