  1. Worst crash I had on the road was in the howling rain, I was racing to get home on my dirt jump bike, turned in hard into my road and the front washed out, and I slid across the road and hit the curb. I was wearing a t-shirt and shorts and got pretty cut up, and I took a huge chunk of flesh out of my knee, and it got infected. Worst crash I had off road was at Chicksands on the 4 cross track. I jumped a big jump, overshot it and landed on the berm (with the bike vertical) slid straight off and round the berm on my side. Was wearing shorts and a vest this time so lost quite a lot of skin haha.
  2. Yeh, apart from it being more expensive and wireless so therefore more complicated...
  3. Pretty sure you can... My brother runs 2 cables up to his bedroom and his stairs are pretty bent.
  4. I've never understood any of that shit. I just duct tape ethernet cables to the floor. Easy to hoover over, you can't trip over them and it actually works, which is nice.
  5. 100% FREESTYLE BRAH YOLOSWAG
  6. You went to Hope and didn't spend all day sending me Snapchat messages? Are you feeling OK?

    He is such a f**king potato. It's so rediculous it's past funny and is unfunny again.
  8. Don't let that faggit near them, he'll bleed them with jizz or some shit. He's weird like that.

    Hugs man. A mate of mine died a couple of years ago, nasty business.
  10. Well that was dead good. Gonna have to do that again.
  11. About to set off touring on my motorbike with my girlfriend for 6 days. Bye bye.
  12. Exactly the same story as my girlfriend and I. Generally speaking either she is scared and uncomfortable having a tiny day out, or I go off on my own to have an adventure. I like being on my own though so we're both happy then. Do you live together? Helps us a lot.

    Yeh I said that until about a year ago, then I saw the light. I could go into why I switched, but no-one gives a flying f**k.

    Me neither, which is why I use Manjaro. I just want it to work haha. Mind you no OS "just works", you always have to fanny around with them.
  15. Yeh it was an OK idea at the time but it was too open. People used to have conversations in there about each other, was just silly.
  16. Just ride it. Not being funny but if all you know about trials bikes is that they have fat back tyres, then it doesn't matter what kind of trials bike you've got. Learn how to back hop and ride up walls, then as you ride more and watch more videos and go on rides you'll start to learn about the sport, then you'll know what bike you need. For a beginner it's perfectly fine.

    Fixed. Go install any Linux distro ever made (I use Manjaro).
  18. I used to all over these discussions, now I spend 40+ hours a week I haven't got the energy any more. Overclocking is good, everyone should overclock everything.

    This thread needs more Spelling Bee.
  22. Why didn't you buy it then? Keep the forks and sell it on.
  23. Yes they were, Pace XC ones. Everyone who rode my bike hated them but I loved them. The flexed a fair bit but they were super springy. They weighed 677g, the lightest forks at the time were Echo Lites which were over 750g I think. Really should have held on to them and sold the bike with some other forks. I'd love to have just hung them on the wall to look at.
  24. I rode that bike many times, first when Josh bought it from you, then when he sold the frame to a local mate of mine who put a maggy on it. Is it T-Pro picture time? Oh OK then... Here's is my first T-Pro, which I cracked 4 times and had welded 3 times. I then replaced it with a Zona Zip frame which was simply superb. A few years later I bought a job lot of stuff from Boumsong which included most of another T-Pro, so I built another one which I sold as quickly as I could in case I cracked it. (I actually was keen to try a mod again but it was horrible so I decided to stick to stocks). Highlights included a front V brake that didn't work mounted on V adapters I made myself, a totally shagged Tensile FFW and Muscleman cranks with ruined tapers. While we're talking bikes though, easily the best mod in the world: Ever.
