Our train comes in about 11:15 so just wait for us Charles.

Beastly stuff, I really like the ones of you exiting the ditch.
-
Yea he has merely just listed all of those to widen his search criteria. To be honest you can use anything for trials, as Scott said he uses one just fine, and many riders including myself, use the very similar Pro II with no problems what so ever.
-
No the disc equivalent is a Pro II, which you may not be able to find in the same green (unless its on the eBay page too).
-
Awesome stuff Ricky, did like the line round the back on Dominoes in Chelmsford, your so controlled on the back wheel. When did you all go to Chelmsford lol?
-
We all still there? Meet at Witham station at 10:15-10:30? Al would you be able to give my wheel a serious going over? =D
-
Chain tensioner on a mod, I'm sure that this bike will be for the UCI riders. Damn good for a simple and easy bike though.
-
That was amazing to watch, I saw you before gap and see a post nearby and think "He can't be gapping to that?". Do love your speed and accuracy, especially so with the electrical box to rail, that was immense. You was inspired when you made it, now I think your the inspiration.
-
That is the difference between the Pro II and the Pro III.
-
What the hell!! the line at 8:00 onwards, thats mental.
-
Awesome stuff Scott, was there much seperating you from first? Did you get any pictures or videos? would be nice to see some of the sections.

Anyone Dealt With Selectbikes?
Captain Scarlet replied to nazzurro19's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
Tarty, Select and Trials-UK are all very efficient when it comes to dispatching orders. I would say the only thing Tarty have over Select and T-UK is the fact that they have a team of staff, rather than 1 person working on the orders. Each to their own, I just shop at the one that can get me the best price, or has the item in stock. Remember that SelectBikes have free postage. -
Chelmsford Ride Sat 8th Nov, Lash Friday Night
Captain Scarlet replied to STEVE-0's topic in Member Organised Rides
I'm there for the riding. =D -
I played from 8:30pm til 1:00am on COD last night, went from level 20 to 28. =D
-
What an anti-climax. Come on Garcia I want to see trials, not spinny things.
-
I guess the main factor as to whether people ride competitions or not is whether they can reguarly attend to them, I myself am quite lucky that my parents will both give up their own sundays that competitions usually occur on, and drive quite a few miles, to somewhere that gives no personal benefit or entertainment to themselves what so ever, only to see the joy and satisfaction that I get from it.
-
Yes Friday I'm definate, as I desperately need to get a custom Luximon grind.
-
You must have a shed full of bike parts. Post in the "For sale" section sometime. =D
-
What the hell at that lightest road bike!, its even geared.
-
I've seen people do that before, my mate and I joined a team tactical match that already had 4 people from one clan in it, and the clan member who was put on our team just ran around, not killing or getting killed. Seemed kinda obvious.

I ride all of the Essex Bike Trial competitions, when I started I tried riding it like I rode street (its all I had practiced), and then I got stressed because my terrible brake set-up wouldn't work in muddy or wet conditions. But now whenever I go, I just think that every new section I ride is a way of improving my riding, when checking the section before I ride I might see a part which looks dodgy/sketchy to me, but I know it is only so because I can't do it, so physically having to do that in competition is a good way to improve riding. Its also good for stamina, times in competition when I'm going round a route and think "damn I'm knackered now!", before I've even finished the section knowing that I have to push myself to finish, whereas if I was just practicing I would just give up at that point. Weather conditions also force me to ride different to how I normally would (with my brake being on a smooth rim), I can't just hop everywhere on the backwheel, so I have to find ways of manouvering about without being so brake intensive. And finally its applying trials techniques in different situations, a real trials rider should be able to ride to the best of their abilites whatever the conditions, anyone can ride nice even walls in dry weather, but when it comes to competition you have varied inclined terrain, weather conditions which you have to ride in etc. To sum it all up, its fun and a good way to progress as a rider.

Yea Ben Krelle.

Riding park many years ago with no helmet, fell from a quarter, fractured my skull which caused a blood blot. Blood clot had to be removed, so that involved cutting the skin, pulling it back, drilling into my skull and removing the blood. Nearly brown bread. Moral of the story.
-
Yea I heard of that place, my mate goes there on his break from the sixth form, he won some Relentless challenge on Forza 2, for doing the starting lap on Silverstone in a Mini fastest. The bloke told him it was a lifetime's supply but he just said its a few crates when he won it. I think he is still their record holder.
