  1. Would have been awesome with less bike snapping
  2. Hopefully the impact straightened him out
  3. I wouldn't say it's cheating, just using the bike you have to your advantage. Are you putting your foot over the frame (the BMX way) or endoing into it (the Danny Macaskill way)? But basically, if you're getting it that far round already, push into it more and commit to the leap back to the pedals.
  4. Filmed by Dave Sowerby and featuring a Thriller dance routine and some Halloween costumes...
  5. His sections starts at around 10:46. It's mostly old footage to a boring song but that's just my opinion... http://www.vitalmtb.com/videos/member/UMF-Video-Project-2011,10194/RideThe-World,5018
  6. Haha, I didn't know that was actually active, let me try - *** It worked, that's pretty awesome.
  7. Preston and Simon Amstell, and Preston's not allowed to leave.
  8. I hardly even see a point in the scooter, they're effectively running to go forwards and like above said push with their feet to get air. It's pretty much running and jumping around a skatepark while holding an object, I could do this with a cheese grater.
  9. I try to ride as much as possible but rather only ride once during weekdays to have a good few hours at the weekend, MBUK would probably call me a weekend warrior. Try making a video, I'm trying to make one now and it gives me more motivation to get lines I want to do.
  10. The chainless one and the one where you're riding a mountain bike, fo sho.
  11. Haha, now there's an edited version it's 3 you have to press
  12. Fair point, I'll try and get it done in a bit.
  13. Wanted to do this line for a while and almost managed it, hopefully I'll get it done soon. Before that happens though, here's the best stack from attempting it - Skip to around 20 seconds if you can't take the tension
  14. With balance stuff I try to not think about balancing. Instead, I think of other random stuff ,such as what I'll have for breakfast in two days time, and hopefully by the time I've decided I'm at the end of the rail or whatever.
  15. I can see why you feel guilty about that very easily.
  16. T'was good, but not the footjam tailwhips.
  17. The woman giving the money had two envelopes, one for each of us. And yea, it was my Dad who agreed with that I did. My mum, brother and sister thought I should have left it, and my sister still believes this but gets 20 pounds. There will be justice.
  18. It was passed on to me from my sister so I didn't have a chance to deny it, and it's not like I'm going to find these people to give it back now I shall be having words with my sister's father about this. I had her moaning about me taking it and now she's getting paid. Not happy.
  19. I'm going to try and not babble on here, but basically, I was riding in my town and saw an art folder for B-Tech. I thought it would suck to be the owner having possibly permanently lost all her work but thought they might come back so sheltered it in an obvious place so at least if it rained it wouldn't be ruined. A few hours later I rode past again and it was still there. I looked at the name and realised from the tutor group the girl goes to my old school. I then thought it best to take it home because there was already a group of chavs who would probably find it and throw it around. I get home and my family ask what it was. I told them and all except my dad said I did the wrong thing and that I should have left it. We then found that the girl was in my sisters year, so my sister, knowing her vaguely, said she'd message her on Facebook, so she did... We had it over half-term. I found it strange the girl hadn't replied but thought she might be on holiday. In the mean time, the owner and her mum were panicking a few days after losing it, as it was only then they realised they lost it. As moderation was 2 days after half-term, they called the police and had an article in the local newspaper about it, which none of my family saw. My sister had messaged the wrong person as they had similar names, and because she's mentally deficient. So when they went back after half-term and told the girl, she was massively relieved. Her mum called my mum later and offered a reward. And this is where the question of morales comes in. The mum of the owner gave two envelopes, one to me and one to my sister. They each contained 20 pounds. Basically, I can not believe that my sister is actually taking this money (I don't really want it that much either)considering she constantly said I was wrong to have taken it, and still, after being rewarded, thinks what I did was wrong. I just feel like she's robbing this family. She didn't do anything and even made it worse by not sending her the message which left them panicking. Opinions? TL:DR, my sister's a rat.
  20. Or don't cut and get these http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/brake_clamps/tensile_offset_magura_mounts/c74p10030.html although a bit expensive for a one time thing possibly.
  21. I don't know if this has already been said but I thought I'd point out how contradictory that post was
  22. Basically, when I render my video then watch it back it's way darker then the original file. Is there anyway of fixing this? I know it's a common problem but haven't been able to find a simple answer for it. Any ideas? Thanks
