  1. Have you tried them? My mate adam runs them on his T-Pro on a smooth rim on the rear and they are awesome! Even in the wet! They will lock even with me riding them at around 9.5 stone !
  2. Ahhh, glad i invested in a BMX, bought it last september for the westpark 4x that has been built and its also handy for getting around best thing is, being a trials rider and turning up at the track on a cheap haro backtrail and wooping ass ! Smooth pictures, ali you look crazy over them huuuge doubles ! james
  3. LOL! at the dog. its beaut. AS for the pictures there quality - why can't i do that
  4. DENG FRAMES FOR THE WIN!!! only had my python few months but love it!! and it can definately take a bashing james
  5. They aren't hard to find on youtube, ryan leech is the man for 'streety' style instructional imo. He talks you through it in this link below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxjW4aN_Jhw...feature=related hope this helps james
  6. That bike looks so PHHITT! how does it ride?
  7. my mate bought himself some 'planet-x' shin and knee pads i believe they were and he wears the frequently, his cousin also got some at the same time. we went on a ride and his cousin didnt want to wear them so i did, but his chain skipped and he tore his shins. they are well worth the investment as the picture above shows, and i believe they got theirs for cheap. james
  8. The Stock bike i used to ride was a really bad bike so i felt awfull onit, but i rode my friends pitbull and it was spot on. i now ride mod (ZOO! python) and am now debaiting wether to get myself a pitbull. i have tried both and have felt comfortable on both so i can get away with it, but id stick with the one your comfortable on, rather than the one you think is better looking etc. james
  9. Mate im not being funny but really, for an ONZA T-COMP you think £425, for that exact price i got myself a mint condition, quite high spec ZOO! Python What give you that crazy idea, plus the fact that its got a lot of stock parts! james
  10. Alright adam. was wondering when you would post. like the guy said above, wait untill you get validated, if you aren't yet and then search in the for sale threads, decent condition parts, good spec for lower prices. james
  11. i had this problem on my base, with my hussefelt cranks. easiest way = rubber mallet. once i had the left side off, the drive side just came off. next time try greasing everything up but not to much. james
  12. Personally i think that for the money your willing to pay, you may get better deal on this forum. seen as how your pre-member you can't use the for sale threads yet /:, but anyway, wait till you get validated and search for some middleburns you can't really go wrong, maybe pick up a bb to go with them. hope this helps out - james
  13. cool pics only thing is that some of the action shots are a bit blurry but still cool. james
  14. alright, im around the same size as you, and i like the look of the long, but bought the short because i got a decent deal. the short suits me perfect and i feel really comfortable onit and makes it easier for me to throw up and onto things. i think part of this is personal preference aswell. hope this helps james
  15. i have seen some try-all tyres that are slick, and there's also them white ones. james
  16. nice bike you got their. In a lot of ways it looks remarkably like my ZOO! python however i bet it rides ten times nicer and i like the idea of front maggie (even though i run disc) james
  17. this looks like an XC bike. how did you ever ride it!? and as for value im not to sure the components and set up aren't over clever james
  18. i love GU's , always wanted one but never seemed to get hold of one. this frame is my next port of call (i like the 08 though) anyways lush bike mate james
  19. correct me if i'm wrong but didn't you claim to have a ZOO! python in your video? , anyway mate thats a nice bike you got there, GET SOME PROPER MOUNTS!! james
  20. I think if i had the bike, i would look to change the cranks as a start. Also the wheels, to something like try-all rims and deng hubs, the stem to something like an echo team, bars to ZOO! and as a finish the forks, personally i love my try-all forks and would vote them As for the parts improving your riding, i'm not entirely sure they would. i think they would feel lighter and mentally give you a boost but its down to practice IMO. thanks james.
  21. For the price you paid mate, that is really tidy and has a good set up for learning. personally there are lots of parts i would upgrade but thats just me. nice one mate james.
  22. i didn't realise they can get that big ! i must say this one thing ---> SHIN PADS FOR THE WIN!
  23. it sounds like a decent deal, however cannot be sure without your pics lol my mate has just done the same, but he paid £100 for his. be nice to see your pics james
  24. nice video mate, and mint riding, really liked it, but hoe come a lot of it seemed to be in slow-motion? e.g the brakes sounded dead and slow. just wondering james
