pushin the limits of BIG. nice one damon

tooo much flashing. but he rides like a reet beast.

click the picture and you will see that it does actually look smaller than it does in the small pics. Someone wrote it was 1.07m so on basic calculation 107cm / 2.5 = 42.8

So your a light weight then aye?

Nope. I decided that it was the right time to say thanks to steve and to move on. He needs to be able to sponsor riders who are pushing the boundaries, and i dont feel i am one of those riders. So, we both said our thanks and went out seperate ways . EDIT: Cheers rowan, am looking forward to riding the atomz. hopefully the geo will sit right for me and ill get some decent riding footage on the go (both street and natural )

just watch it macarthur.......you grumpy b*****d

I did try to post a topic on the news section yesterday, but it has not been approved unfortunately..... Thanks to my old sponsors - Czar and Heatsink, really appreciate everything they have done for me. Thanks to my new sponsors - Atomz & Trialtech, really appreciate their sponsors and look forward to riding their products. Thanks to Tarty Bikes for my continued sponsorship. Really appreciate them

that will be the secret quarry around here then will it? - woop hahah, im such a dick. The quarry looks awesome boys, cannot wait to go for a ride there.....

EDIT: THIS TOPIC WAS POSTED BEFORE THE ONE IN TRIALS CHAT, BUT HAS ONLY JUST BEEN PROCESSED..EITHER WAY....... Firstly, i would like to thank my previous sponsors that i have left - Czar & Heatsink. Whether people like deng or not, is besides the point, i have really enjoyed riding for him, his bikes / components are good, and i see his designs / contributions to the trials industry on a different level to many folk out there but hey, lets not go into that. I want to thank him for all he has done for me. Steve@heatsink, was always good to me, very complimentary to me, and always listened to my feedback, some of the components were exceptional, and i will still have HSB products on my bike for my new sponsors (in the form of the mk2 vee adapters) Cheers and Good luck steve. Right, Onto the new sponsors. Trialtech - Dave has been incredible with a deal running his trialtech products (i have had this deal a while, but thought i would bring it to light now), and am glad to be associated with him again after his departure from Tarty Bikes Atomz - I will be riding the atomz frame and parts for 2008, and am really really looking forward to the new bike arriving and getting a blast of it. The team of riders that they have going now is incredible, and from all around the globe, i feel privileged to be part of this team. I will obviously still be riding for Tarty Bikes, who are as good to me now as they have ever been., i wouldnt advise anyone to shop anywhere else I will keep you updated with vids and pics in the near future. Cheers

Thing is...the trailer for ROAM looked amazing too. and turned out to be a bit of a rip-off, although ti was good. So hopefully this will improve on this. Steve Peat + Beard = Weird Looking Sheffield Lad

there are so many better bikes out there that you could get cheaper and easier? I know u might like the look of the frame, but unfortunately your chances are slim.

DO NOT USE AN ECHO INTERNAL. I DESTROYED MINE. QUICKLY. not used a try-all....

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-mazin I seriously love your riding rowan. Just purely brilliant

no offence to neil, but i have seen some camera trickery going on his vids before. (well at least just the angle giving off the wrong impression) just because you couldnt see the kicker, doesnt mean it wasnt there

you have to watch out though...i heard the guys at tarty like to sabotage peoples packages. as an example, i had TRAVIS lyrics written all over my two previous packages from them DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR I SAY. Superb wheel builder though

qualified architect not my greatest work that. but instead a rushed piece of work im not that happy with. (it has changed since then and it has no interior so the glass cannot be shown transparent

i didnt realise it was a bike bits thread haha. never mind. my house looks nice anyway

Some VERY VERY basic 3d stuff i have been doing at work this week

Unfortunately for me i ride for the challenge. I do not ride to compete against others, i do not ride to win, if i ride a comp i see it as a chance to see if i can make a good effort at challenging the terrain you are asked to ride over. Thus, i do not really have much opinion whether i ride against 20 or 26 inch riders. It is a riders choice as to why he / she rides a 20 or a 26. However, i can see all the annoyance this is causing those who compete regularly and as such, maybe as u suggest fred, why spoil a years competition in the UK if the riders riding the competition are not happy. after all the comp is alllll about them. I think that some of the parents are being a tad, erm....over protective. I do not mean any major offence at that however my reasons for this are below Your child will have to enter a category above sometime anyway so it might as well happen earlier (in my opinion) if they are capable enoughI understand they wont be winning their categories, but the challenge of being able to should spur them onI do not believe that 26 always favours a competition, they should be riding for the fun anywayhmmm maybe im being a little in-sensitive, but its just an opinion Maybe you should not have the two sizes competing against each other as it seems to be causing alot of offence.

lmfao it didnt look painful at all. just funny. sorry, haha, maybe its cos he hit the ground so slow

erm.....i think i have done about 56.... just above nipple height LMAO... if you go watch scottish muckers 4 video - on youtube, the tap i do before riding the scary rail is about 54 - 55

cos when he lands their is always a massive BANG sound....then everyone else goes.....ooooooooo

I have a hope pro 2 hub im selling for £85 (ill be sending it off to hope tommorow for a new hubshell) so if u want it just sya?
