  1. i have done 6 pallets (probably 5 on all blue ones like on tartys video) with both feet forward ( to be seen on my new video when its out) and to be honest, tartys explaination seems perfect to me, although i probably dont pre-load that much, hmm not sure ill let u know next time im out, the video shows pretty much the right kind of thing to be doing as well cheers ben
  2. i found having your tyres at a lower pressure, made it much easier, i can do fairly high wheel swaps, but having been practicing them switch (let foot forward) and found the spring of a lower pressure tyre did help me. also i found its alot to do with upper body strength, so just keep practising is my true advice cheers ben

    man , errrrrrr.........cheers watson, but im all :"> im f**king shite compared to all of them boys in there, and i think im the oldest. but seriously why the hell would u put me in there ben
  4. hey mike, i got ur text while i was out on my bike, i am working fri sat sun, till 6 eaach day, but will certainly be up for a night ride, specially as it will be quieter than during the day. incidentally why on earth you coming up to aberdeen?> and u coming on your own, or with some other guys. hit me back just to chat ben sorry was listenin to eminem
  5. hope u guys enjoy this absolutely f**king awesome, http://www.santoalt.com/videos/corey_martinez.php cheers ben
  6. well i reckon a ronnie, they are super strong and work last. if u have had a koxx rim then dont get a viz rim the two are the same rim almost i found the viz rim to be just as crap for holding grinds etc as a koxx rim. meh my opinion ben
  7. some riders have decided upon tubeless for their bikes. probably weighs the same as a decent tube, but however it apparantly works if u do it correctly. so what do u think of what has happened since u have been away ezza? ben oh and people have only learned to spell properly because there is now a spell checker on one/if not all the skins ben
  8. i was using standard magura oil, i know its the best stuff to use if you bleed your brake correctly cheers for the chat guys, i managed to fix it now, host had just popped off and its all gravy. cheers ben
  9. dj was killed, or is that over a year now!!! he was hit in a hit and run, see many peoples signatures and posts all over t-f, see his personal page where you can leave memories. buy his t-shirts etc maybe you knew that but it shook the trials forum in a big way and many people ride in memory of him ben
  10. my magura explodes, but lets go back and ill tell you a little story................ yesterday i receive a phone call from another rider (non-forum) saying, aye min me feckin freewheel has broke, so i ask him to come round and i fix it, while he waits he is riding another guys bike and breaks his magura hosing. f**k, day ruined for him, it didnt touch a thing just decided to pack in and break. then today another mate is riding along and hops up a kerb, kaboom onto his back on the kerb, day ruined his plastic magura hosing goes as well with no replacement we head home and thats that. tonight about half an hour ago, i am riding, thinking about snapping the hosing. after doing some decent drop gaps and some big ups, i pick up confidence to go for a front to back on a rail. now a front to back is the move where you hop into your front wheel then to your back, for an example see a craig lee scott video or a engage vid. and you will see how crazy this looks on a rail. im trying this move after getting pretty good at it, after a few failures i finally make it, and land nicely, few more fails and another good attempt, then i think hmmm, one more, so i go for it, make it to back wheel and on landing, my brake lever reaches the handlebar and i fall. what the f**k im thinking then i look, my braided hosing has snapped. now why the f**k does three go in the space of 24 hrs. its crazy. so to the point what hosing do you reccomend, i am thinking either back to standard hosing or looking at goodridge or hope. i have tried magura hosing, which is what has just snapped. whats your thoughts cheers guys ben p.s sorry for babbling

    wayne, i think that would be a cool idea, having a koxx - days type thing in england would be ace, if we get the right spot, its a tad hard for me to get to france living in aberdeen but somewhere in england would be ideal, i should think i would like to go to that. cheers ben
  13. to be honest id like to know your sources before you post stuff like this. you may well be telling the truth, but where did you find this information and why dont you share the link etc (if its a website) i know he is still riding for aire valley ben

  24. this isn't aimed at topic starter, but at the guy who said he was feeling old at twenty!!!!! how is this possible, i'm sorry but i'm sure you have a long way to go, i'm twenty and i'm enjoying myself more than ever, i'm more mature and have much more fun now than i have ever done before, granted i cant ride my bike as much because of my uni work, but still get out quite often. ben
