  1. I always wear my right grip out a bit faster, suppose I hold the front brake tighter, and then on that grip the right hand side of that below my index finger it's more worn out then the rest of that individual grip.
  2. I like that one because then I can just ride away from them while complying to their demands. I often get 'Can you jump over to me?' and when I say that I can they're reluctant to get on the ground.
  3. Not a lot of riding, but - http://svtplay.se/v/2439931/cykel/freeride-martin_vill_vinna_varldstouren
  4. I had a horrible period a year ago where it seemed like the purpose of my legs was for pedals to hit them, but haven't had a bad one for ages. Although yesterday when I was walking my bike I tripped up on a curb and my shins landed on my pedals, but I'm quite clumsy when it comes to curbs.
  5. The annoying thing is we can't actually blame the judges, it was put to the public vote and more people voted for the other guy, which is what I had said it should be before, those with the most votes win regardless of the judges.
  6. What I was just saying as well. Well done for getting that far and not messing it up in the live shows
  7. Good that was the last move Oh and hope you get through, I'll be voting
  8. Actually that was never mentioned, we are stunt bikers.
  9. I know what you mean, but to the public it would be well wicked. And plus this allows more amazement in the live shows, I assume?
  10. It's on! Although they made out he was boring...
  11. I'd say it's better to learn a high pedal up before taps first. I think the main things to keep in mind are: - kicking harder on the pedals - lifting more, so it's crotch to stem at one point when you lift - more tucking in, weight over the back when you land Watch this
  12. What was the problem you reported?
  13. Last two clips were pretty Good job
  14. After having to look up what that stood for, I found that my prediction of a response when I wrote that was correct
  15. As much as I love simple designed frames, I love that. The colour's even awesome
  16. That would be awesome, only problem would be the lack of CCTV in both of the areas. In the town there's some, but from where I know the camera is it wouldn't got the best view of the postbox. Although, since I've got a few stamps left, and I plan on dropping a few more and filming people's reactions to it over the next few days. I know the mathematical basis would be good, but that would be effort There had been other aspects like that I would have liked to also test, like distance from postbox, but my tutor for this wanted me to keep it simple. But when I do the filmed ones I'll defiantly time it as well
  17. I'm not going to Tartydays, but that still really pleased me.
  18. I started off wanting to do something about altruism and what effects it, and one of the factors is the bystander effect where the more people there are in a situation the less will be done. There was some quote like 'lucky is the man who needs help when only one other is present'. So basically, the idea was to see if in a place like a town centre where there's lots of people would the letter be less likely to picked up then somewhere like a housing road where only one person will walk past it at a time. From the few times I was able to observed, the rural road one was always picked up by the first person who walked past where as in town I could wait for 10 minutes of people walking past it (and step on it seeing the envelopes with shoe prints) before someone would pick it up, who mostly seemed to be elderly people. Plus, an envelope's a good way of doing it so people won't be influenced by who their helping, unlike a young man rushing over to the aid of a woman who dropped a piece of paper. I had originally thought of testing this by staging a mugging, but apparently that would lead to all sorts of complications
  19. Got the final results back today. Out of the 30 letters dropped 29 were returned, which was quite a lot more then I had predicted. I had expected that in a more suburban setting more would be returned because when people see them they feel like the responsibility is only on them, as opposed to a town where the responsibilities spread over all people around it. The only one that wasn't was the one I found the next day opened and scrumpled up. Now I have a few months to write a 5000 word essay on it and other surrounding areas...
  20. Lubing it always helps as well on both ends, or if you can get it to go in between the forks and headtube.
  21. You have to have an account and then there's a little link saying 'download' (or something similar) below the views information.
  22. Thanks a lot for the advice, tried removing it from the old forks but saw that it was n't going to come out imaculete so went to Chainreaction, where I ended up buying some gloves, some grips and a brake cable...
  23. He did actually describe his riding as 'mellow' when he posted it on Facebook, though I still completely disagree with that...
