  1. i hope you got a building warrant for all that work ....the Local authority will need it
  2. decent forks frame (the obvious)...come up with some imaginative design, not just changes in GEO. thats a start. others will help no doubt. You could do any part of a bike really, however it comes down to finding something that is a niche in the market....something which i dont think you will find in bikes / trials. You have to have an idea for a product that has not been made yet, and then move from there.
  3. Suprisingly impressed . like the tee's. wanna send me some free seriously though...good job lad
  4. what your saying rowan, is you want to be the leader of the gang......gary glitter stylee.... however, I like to be the best i can be. Im by no means an amazing rider, and i KNOW there are lots of riders out there who are better than me in all aspects of riding, however I like to challenge myself. as an example, I am scared of rails. REALLY scared. Since i did my internal bleeding a cuople of years ago now, i always have the fear, however i want to incorporate lots of rails into my next video. Also, i like to push myself on TGS moves. I want to be able to go big, still doing the lines i crave. I do NOT ride for anyone on here, i ride for myself, and for the banter with my friends. I also enjoy riding new places to see how other riders combat lines there. I just like riding trials.
  5. Yes i am sponsored by tarty, but I am by no means tied down by them, what dan has apparantly done to a number of customers (you do not see these topics about tarty??) is kind of unethical, in my humble opinion. Im sure dan does feel like he gets alot of shit, and if it wasnt for guys like him and the guys at select / tarty, im sure we wouldnt have the trials industry we have just now, and in this manner i do feel for dan. I hope he can sort it all out / improve his business in the long term. Im not even going to say anything about hate wagons.
  6. so people keep saying. It doesnt justify dan apparant service problems! If he wants to improve his service, im sure he could employ another person like tarty does. I imagine that tarty adams personal profit isnt as great as dans, purely because he has to employ other people.
  7. Obviously if tarty has two or three people working for them, its because the amount of orders going through the company is higher than that of other companies. I doubt that T-UK has the same number of customers going through the books as tarty...in fact i reckon that each member of staff at tarty has to deal with the same amount of stuff that dan at t-uk does.

  14. if this is for a video you are selling...i dont think it works at all. If you are going to be letting people watch for free on the internet...then its a nice trailer. Although i do not condone trailers for free videos, i dont think there is any point to them. just my opinion though.
  15. lewis is obese....but decent riding though. liked the video
  16. ahem...there are a good number of riders who are in your list who appear to be within the circles...which basically means they are northern, if you see my original post.
  17. Its the power beard....lets him do everything.
  18. im all about this.....north would rule, however the divide would have to be drawn somewhere....i reckon that the line should basically be around here somewhere; if you happen to be below the line but in the circles, then you will be classed as a northerner...welcome to the group
  19. towler, ross has offered for us to stay at his in cummernauld... i think its the place to be. Dont you remember what you said you wanted to do to stan....nows your chance
  20. no......because im going. and im the frikkin man. should see my fakie nose rolls to ball grind. mazin
