  2. Bath And Bristol Ride

    in Videos

    Posted · Edited by bitemybutt

    Hi,

    This is just a short video of me and my brother riding. Nothing special im afraid, just looking for feedback on the video (angles, lighting etc) rather than the riding. We've both just got the bikes last week, so getting used to them.

    Will have a proper video with DECENT riding and loads of other riders in at some point in the next month or two

    Note for non-metal fans: Don't turn the volume up too loud :)

    Nice bike mate. I had a Mark 1 Zebdi up until about a year ago. Excellent frame, you can do EVERYTHING on them. Rather than the 1080mm + frames which are good for TGS but not manuals etc. I would say stick with it. I did have a Planet X alibongo (got stolen) which I was actually no better on despite the 'updated' geometery!

    Short frames are the future!!!!!!!

  16. Bristol Friday 9thy May - Short Vid

    in Videos

    Posted

    This is a short video from yesterday. Featured riders are: James Porter, Rowan Johns and Mike Singelton.

    Sorry if it's not very good, but im just trying to get the hang of making videos at the moment.

    Some very good riding, but i've left out a quite a bit as it should be appearing in Ben Rowlands video/s

    Also, the clip of Rowan at the end is cut short as he is trying to perfect an awesome move, so it's just there as a sort of teaser.

    Enjoy!

    P.S. turn the volume up as it's pretty quiet for some reason?!?

    Hi,

    This is my first video, so sorry about some of the dodgy camera work.

    Featured riders are: Nick Goddard, John Shrewsbury, Ben Rowlands, Rich Pearson, Rowan Johns, Dan Ko and a few others I don't know the name of im afraid.

    Some good riding in it. but the are some brilliant clips i've left out as they should be appearing in other riders videos at some point (pics at end of vid will give you an idea!)

    Hope you like it, please let me know what you think.

    Posted

    post-177-1208812840_thumb.jpgHi,

    Just started riding again after back problems that have stopped me riding for the last 2 years. Please let me know what you think of my planet x.

    Spec is as follows:

    CK rear hub on Onza rim,

    Hope XC front on X517,

    Middleburns,

    Raceface stem,

    Easton bars,

    Rear mag with plazmatics,

    Front XTR vee with Rock pads (feckin awesome!),

    Rohloff tensioner,

    CK king cog 17t

    Panaracer Fire XC front tire,

    El gato rear,

    Ashton forks,

    Maybe a bit of an old fashioned set-up, but it does ride well.

  23. Easiest Modern Stock To Bunnyhop

    Sorry to sound old, but I remember when a short bike was something like an orange zero and a 1065 Koxx was like riding a train!

    If you're after a short, but rideable frame go for the Leeson Clear 660 with a longish stem and flat bars. A friend had a set up like that and it was one of the best bikes i've ever ridden. They also have the benefit of being very light with the right set-up.

    Hope that helps.
