  1. I might have put this in the wrong sub-forum thing. I didnt want to put in in videos since their is no actual footage. Some people may have noticed a lack of antitron 5. I have been working on it for a couple years now, but the level I want to push it to I just can't release it for a long time. So I have to delay it another 2 years. My custom frame is fantastic. I am working on the video 10-14 hours a day but I just don't have enough time working at this rate to finish it this year. How does a bike video take 5 years to make? This one is my ultimate video for sure and probably my last bike video. it is coming along very nicely and I am happy with the work. It is a new concept where I wanted to make a story rather than just showcasing riding skills. While I do want to push the bar a lot on riding skills as well I wanted to focus in an artistic direction, and building the art, writing the music, and pushing the riding is what is taking so long. So I can promise one entertaining video for both the people who like and hate it. The other problem is money. I will need to get a part time job which will also delay things. So this should explain to anyone who is wondering. These are some fragments of some of the incomplete clips / art and stuff. I will not post any riding until it comes close to the release time.
  2. at least its not an onza stem you would have died man!!
  3. that was really awesome. I still think alI needs to start doing 360 nosepivots again especially because he has brakes again. No one can spin em like Ali. Anyways yeah that is what I would define as "perfect" riding. Everything flowed perfectly and was really awesome as well. I enjoy that more than danny mac because I personally like the style and higher amount of tech in the riding more. Ill have to rewatch it and pay more attention to the editing. Whenever I watch uber pros I never even notice the editing or anything else because I am really focused on the riding hahaha.
  4. how can anyone not think the editing was amazingly good. I rate the video photography 10/10 editing 10/10 riding skill 10/10 riding guts 10/10 riding style 10/10 that was absolutely perfect in every way. i really didn't know what to expect, and the editing was choreographed to the music sooo dam well.
  5. i saw that one too but it didn't have enough comments so I assumed it wasn't it XD
  6. Im surprised this hasnt been posted yet. tiretap down the 12 set???? Whatever....
  7. he is correct. However the thing that most people don't know is how to get a strogner lower back. I know exactly the spot your talking about, what U need to do is sit ups and leg crunches. Do ab workouts. They naturally make your back 1000 times stronger. Now the other thing that can cause this is frame geo. If you are too hunched over or ride too short a frame it can make this problem, however with a strong back you can ride any geo frame and have no pain. Trust me I had 2 friends with this exact problem, and I had this problem too and fixed it with ab work outs. So go for the six pack, its really worth it. Keep working out till you can do 1000 sit ups. Ab work outs build back muscles without risking any injury too them so you dont have to be afraid to push really hard. Biking and especially trials riding puts mega strain on your back, so even with better geo it will only help 5-10% by boosting your core you will never have back pain again. If this doesnt work see a doctor, but this should work. Just make sure you are progressing, make sure you are doing more leg crunches and sit ups each time. Btw the spot that hurts is almost exactly 1 fist length up from your but crack right?
  8. no, I have been working on antitron 5 for years, and it will be finished in about another year. I am not making any more videos because it will be the best I possibly can make. My body is at its physical peak, and that part of you that makes you try dangerous things is almost gone, + I need to get a career and stuff. I don't have much fun riding, and after this vid is done I will only ride for fun which is like never basically lol.
  9. antitron 5 will be my last
  10. yeah I just send them my email and a video and explained I need a custom frame to help progress my riding, and he liked the video and stuff so we worked together for like a year and designed it and built it. It was a good price it was about 1000$. So like 500 gbp or soemthing
  11. yeah the frame is 1.75 the bike is 18.8. I think i like lbs for a frame because its really hard to loose a kg but its easier to loose a lb so I feel like all the weight saving pays off better when I say I lost a lb lol.
  12. cant argue with my logic hehehe. I have ridden many many bmxes many times, but no one on this planet can say they have ridden my bike, Their is only 2 of them that exist and the owner the first one is me, and the owner of the second one is also me. So if you haven't tried it you can't say how strong or well it rides. I designed the geo and all that stuff so its a unique feel. I rode my because simple frame for 2 years and it didnt break. That frame uses 2.0 tubing this one is 2.2, has more guessets and is a stronger design . I think keeping the toptube and seatstays exactly the same angle really boosts strength because the frame can not flex at the seat area because its 1 solid beam. + its made of U6 instead of 6061
  13. thanks for the comments from everyone, yes its definately is exactly 1.75 kg, the whole bike is 18.8 lbs. Why I use kg and lbs is hilarious lol
  14. its a custom speedrace frames. AND IT IS NOT UGLY ish awesome!
  15. My green machine is comeplete. It rides as awesome as it looks. Made a really quick vid on it and then noticed a innertube bubble was coming out of my tire... was lucky I saw that when I did otherwise it would have exploded. I had about an hour of daylight to film the video too so I can safely say this is by far the worst video I have ever made hahaha. Oh well Antitron 5 is still coming but not for another year. It will be my last video so I want it to be cool. Enjoy! This is my the custom frame built by speedrace. The bike is really really good. 1750 grams 350 cs 985 wb +55 bb
  16. awesome lol. I think that would be really smokey and explosive though. I found the perfect solution though. Wood finish. Its like syrup and takes over a day to dry if you leave it in clumps. + its cheap. Thanks for all the suggestions from everyone.
  17. well the reason I want it hot, is because I want the wooden surface underneath it to catch on fire also. The smoke is an issue especially if it burns for a long time. If I used gasoline or something the wooden surface wouldn't catch on fire because the burst of fire is too short which is why I need something that lasts longer. Burning wood is actually quite diffuicult unless you have a massive fire going already. Especially if its not firewood. Liquids are fine, but gels are just easier to work with, you can see exactly where it is and it doesn't move. The location I am doing this in is 100% safe, their is 10 km of snow in every direction and its enclosed inside a rock bowl without a tree in any direction for 50km, its 1000 times safer than smoking a cigarette in your house, everything in the universe is illegal though regardless of if it effects anyone in any possible way. People make money by catching people on the technicality of a law, its like when I got arreseted for riding my bike on a side walk. I don't know if the UK is that bad but I actually got tackled and handcuffed, and it was a trials bike how the hell am I supposed to ride it on the road it goes 1kmph blah blah blah I am ranting anyways I am just trying to explain why I dont want to draw attention which is why smoke is an issue. If its a short burst that should be ok but seeing as how riding on a sidewalk gets you arrested, I imagine lighting a fire gets you life in prison. Yes ish for antitron 5. say it in english doc. I dont know chemistry, is pva and petrol the actual name, or is just another name for mentos and diet coke? where would you buy or make that? Can you give a bit more detail?
  18. can you buy lighter fluid in large quantities? Insulating foam would be good but aren't the fumes really hazardous?
  19. Hey I am looking for a flammable paste or liquid with the following properties... burns for a long time (30 seconds or more) Burns hot (temperature over 150 celsius) Not much smoke. (produces as little smoke as possible) not explosive comes in large quantities I am sure their is a lot of pastes that do this, paint does this but it dries up fast and is not flammable once it dries. Does anyone know what I am looking for? Paper has this exact property, is their a form of liquid paper that stays liquid for a while?
  20. You should have name cards, I can't tell who is who. Anyways I liked the guy on the brown inspired. Stylin. The extra 180s at the end of everything were cool. Both were really good though. When he 180ed that huge stair flight was that a bump jump? Its hard to make a video with that long and still not have filler clips. good job. Editing was good too. Its better to have everything as stickers than computer titles. Computer effects are just cheesy.
  21. because they are bored. Most the guys who do it have been riding trials like 10 years so its something new to try. + bmxers do it and trials riders are always moaning about bmxing being better.
  22. hey would you be willing to sell me some coloured magura hosing? Also what colours do you have? Do you have any pics?

  23. I think its more of a fun video. Their was like 10 clips of him doing a backflip off a quarter. I think the second rider was a lot better.
  24. nobody answered my question! Where do I get coloured magura hose if they exist? yeah I forgot those frames have super thin tubing. If you really want to see I will upload a video of me hammering the crap out of a frame and barely denting it. The diameter of the tube makes a huge difference too, for example even if its 2.0 thick something like a seatstay or chainstay basically can't dent because the smaller the tubing the stronger it will be (from getting squashed)
  25. i dont think this is a repost
