  1. nice effort dude! def looks better with the straight blade forks
  2. looks like a limey 2 to me. the old style one, not many about i believe.
  3. PEOPLE NEED TO REMEMBER THE ONLY BIKE YOU RIDE IS YOUR OWN! here have a lil present of heaven for the eyes
  4. absolutely loved that! my kind of riding, and makes me miss australia! is that the british racing green inspired that had pics in the bike thread a good while ago? looks like it rides lush! (taking no credit from the rider of course)
  5. i feel sorry for your girlfriend / next girlfriend / first girlfriend / boyfriend / next boyfriend / first boyfriend. i dont discriminate
  6. in the words of the harry high waist Simon Cowell "we will agree to disagree"
  7. stunning bike no doubt! but personally i just cant see that its worth the money. I know everything is top notch but i think you could make a bike which rides just as lush and is equally as strong (which to me is all you need in a trials bike) for alot less. I take it, thats not the point to you and you have worked hard to get the best of the best. Fair play Enjoy riding it and get a video out on it
  8. recently ive gone front disc and although its not perfect the modulation you have with it is incredible. Combined with rear vee not having hardly any modulation its made me ponder about getting a disc tab welded on to my marino. my frame is already raw (apart from laquer i can get off easily) and i have a new rear hope pro 2 with disc mount ready to go. So how easy would it be to get one welded on? I need answers to the following questions i guess; - where do i get a disc tab from? -how do i know what size i need? -how do i know where it needs to be welded? (positionally speaking) -how much would it roughly cost to be welded? -do i need to add frame support in the general area? -recommended rotor size? -IS IT ALL WORTH THE HASSLE? any info would be appreciated. thanks dudes
  9. have i? f**k knows, just watched for the first time since i pretty much made it. Makes me miss summer so bad! I WANNA GO SURFIIIIIIIN!
  10. My mates company fit saunas all over the UK, i said to him, if you ever get a job near south coast (as i f**kin love it there) ill work for free and we can make a weekend of it. Few weeks later it was all sorted. I didnt have to pay fuel and had one night payed for at the hotel, bonus! Was an awesome weekend away, with awesome weather. I decided on the way down to make a video album as its a bit different to the usual photo albums put on facebook. i think it turned out ok considering i was drunk most the time and my camera is officially a resident of wankistan! sorry its not trials, but its certainly not BOTI track is BLU MAR TEN - FIVE SUMMERS
  11. why isnt anyone rocking bmx bars one like a 50mm stem if shorter and higher is the best? Or am i just being ridiculous with that?
  12. i think you are the only person to ever make me want to ride a mod.......congratulations, i think?
  13. i have some basically new heatsink yellows on cnc v backings. There is just way too much brake compound for me to set up my brake. is there any way i can reduce the amount of compound to make them thinner and enabling me to fit them. They just about fitted with my old rims and started bedding in nice, but now i have new rims which are wider. I also need a really smooth finish i guess as i run smooth rims and want a smooth feeling brake. Also, yes i have switched the cup washers around etc, my only option is to cut them down or get new pads (currently running the onza (same as inspired) pads but they are sooooo soft and squishy i hate the feel of it through the lever. thanks dudes
  14. ye wish i hadnt put my initials on it, pretty gay. But i like the blue and i like the headtube. Each to their own, thanks for your opinion
  15. bump, new pics in first post, and more pics in the link too. dont think it will ever look as sweet as it did in the sun all retro and brakeless but im still pleased with the beefier version, sorry about image quality. All the other images were fine apart from the whole bike shot, cant be bothered to go get another pic now. let me know what you think, thanks adam PS- i now have an avid ultimate, heatsink yellows, xtr front lever, pashley forks converted to 24 v mounts (already have interest in these) and a sweet all black wheel set with pro 2 rear and mono front, stem......blah blah all for sale. So keep an eye out in the 'for sale' section soon.
  16. i notromorsed my frame, and that shit is scary! jut melts the paint! literally bubbles and you can hear the paint scream as it dies.....bit OTT but seriously, when you brush it on you get a few tiny tiny specks of it flick on you.....IT BUUUURNS! so cover up!
  17. nice dude! enjoy it. inspired pads take a while to settle in, so sharp at first but smooth out eventually. Also jsut for reference, the inspired pads are the same as the onza ones on tarty, same factory same everything.....same same same. So you can save yourself a tenner or whatever it is next time
  18. .....screen shot? or link to video along with a second count as to where she is. intrigue runs affluently among the TF faithful
  19. i find most gingers unappealing, but from time to time the combo of hair, eyes and skin tone makes some of the most BEAUTIFUL girls in the world. I say 'beautiful' not 'fit' there is a difference

    Edinburgh

    i cant help, but ive been told edinburgh is an awesome city with a cool night life! enjoy it
  21. nice riding! is this video part of a competition? i made a video in one spot earlier this year. not as good riding as yours but i would enter my video if i could
  22. basically, past few weeks on occasion i have seen people in real life and videos having certain skill sets such as playing guitar, drums, skateboarding, football, base jumping, snow boarding, surfing etc.... And it made me wonder, ive spent basically over half my life, about 12-13 years on and off my trials bike. Whilst im not amazing (dont ride enough to ever be) im not shite either. If back on the first day i picked up trials what if......what if i had picked up a guitar or got a drum kit instead? would i be in a band now? where would my life have been? If I bought a snow board would I be living in the alps instructing? If i focused on football would i be semi pro? if i started base jumping.....would i be dead? To sum it up I guess, do you ever think "I wish I took the time, money spent and skill i have gained in trials and moved it across to the equivalent level in a different hobby?" If so, what do you wish you did? at what level? and where would you be in your life? Trials has been a huuuuuge part of my life and my friend has just got back into it from school days and we went round our local town and the amount of laughs and memories it created was ace! I love trials but sometimes, I wish I learnt something else. But then i wouldnt of learnt trials. I guess it just the feeling that im getting older, and I dont have enough time to learn something new. ps- i went back trying to change all my 'i's to 'I's to stop any chance of a bitchfest with grammar etc, but I instantly got bored, so if you feel the need to say something unrelated to the topic, please f**k off, have a wank, and come back relaxed.
