Unlucky I jest, I jest. Sponsored by TartyBikes, got sponsored because I've been riding for over 10 years and have got to a reasonable level, plus I'm kinda known for being a general nice chap (I think...) and try to give the sport a good name whenever I ride, either on the street or in comps. Basically never take myself or riding too seriously which means I don't really have any kind of 'attitude'. That's my take on it anyway!

Cheers, my plan was to go for something resembling this:

Ah, gotcha. I thought you were talking about the vid. Sorry :$

Umm... they didn't. Ok, I was wrong

Have you tried Google video?

Who's the guy in the stupid shorts and tights? Edit: Christ, was that Gilles?! Looked like a right numpty! Love the 'no 5' for Benito...

No, they're definitely flying. All the way to the South American rainforests... who'd a thunk it?

Couldn't have put it better myself...

Your point is? Ok so it's 84 years to the day since the Royal Canadian Air Force was formed but I didn't think many people cared...?

Different moves. Backwards nose roll/manual are like you see Danny Mac doing where, usually with the help of a slope, the bike is allowed to roll backwards on the front wheel without much input from the rider apart from feathering the brake and keeping balance. Switzerland Squeeker is where you alternate between using the front brake and scuffing the tyre with your foot, so you're putting the effort in to make the bike move rather than gravity. Lol.

I really don't want to, I'm a 20" rider through and through when it comes to natural and comp stuff but at the moment we're lucky to get 3 expert 20" riders at the Hampshire's- everyone seems to have gone 26"... Takes a lot of the fun out of it when there's no Chris Doney or Scott Wilson to properly compete against. Pooley should give me a run for my money on Sunday though.

Cool, you do them on your 8" travel DH bike and I'll do them on my Monty See you there Edit: Although I've just remembered that I haven't actually entered yet... Think I'll deliver by hand to El Presidente tomorrow.

Ok, finally got this to play and... Fackinell Tomm... have you been taking secret lessons with a certain Danny Mac?!! Really nice lines- nice and 'flowy' but with some big stuff in there too. Looking forward to the next one!

Wow, does that mean there might be more than 2 riders in expert 20"?!

Don't see it myself... Although I think Nezz looks a bit like Dougie Lampkin, although maybe it's just his build (Tall with about 4ft wide shoulders).

Seat is a Federal Slim pivotal seat, really nice although I have no idea what it would be like to actually sit on for any length of time! Glad you're getting a new rim... can you talk Dan into getting one too?!

Lol, just standard Monty Pr ones that I had powdercoated in repsol orange .

Was a fairly standard XC bike this morning...

New pedals and 74Kingz tensioner. Couple of changes but not much. Needs a wash. Just got the frame today, replaces a Specialized Hardrock XC frame for something a bit more fun. Comments welcome.

Alright for some...

Good spot... two things I'd change if it was mine...

Loving the steel ruledness Bike looks nice, only thing I'd change would be the colour of the bash but then that's just being picky

I'll be there on the Monty which hasn't been washed since the last comp... did take it down to Kimmeridge yesterday though
