Perfic'. Cheers peeps

Parking in Oxford?...

Yeah I know what you mean. To be honest, I'm not convinced with the brakeless thing. Don't get me wrong, it's good to see something new and different, but is it really trials? Very BMXey and in the end pretty darn cool but at the same time being brakeless must restrict things so much surely? There was a lot of filler too. Ah well, still some impressive and innovative riding. Dave P.S. I thought he was running 29" wheels when I first saw it- looks really strange to me for some reason!

Gah!!! Swapped to a laptop with annoyinghorribleTunes and it's going to take an hour to download!! Will edit when I get it... [/rant]

Cool, no worries John. Apple just makes me angry sometimes

Thanks again for the comments guys. And lol at Scopse

Edit: Trials tube and sweet preserve.

Not bad

Bitorrent thingy's still confuse me. I use emule for some stuff but am quite happy paying for the proper DVD's when it comes to Nitro Circus... worth supporting the cause

I picked up a copy of MagicISO from somewhere which does the trick perfectly.

Cheers Ben. Maybe I should leave the next one to you though!

Might pop in if it's pouring when I go past Oxford and is reasonable down here...

Seemed to work fine for me The editting was good- fitted the track well with the pauses and slow mo black and white going into the more action stuff. Good job.

Spot on On the Gnome thing... what are the chances it was just one of those kids little brother/sister in a costume? Might've been plausible (that a disabled midget who walks like that and chooses to wear a pointy hat) until the scream at the end which just makes you think 'set up'. They got to sell their story to the national press in Argentina and then the Sun... well worth a shot for them I'd have thought.

I might come to this... Going to be up near Evesham on Saturday and driving back daaan saaath on Sunday so if I take my bike... Anywhere to park in Oxford? Any parking at the station? Edit: Just checked the forecast and the BBC says heavy rain on Sunday...

Yeah, mines on and seems fine... It is putting quite a lot of pressure on the chain because I'm running a 13T at the back I really have to push the Kingz down hard to stop it touching the chain at the top!! I tighten up the non drive side of the wheel to locate it then nip up the drive side enough so the Kingz doesn't slip but you can still rotate it to get good tension. Once I'm happy I tighten the bolt up properly and it seems to work fine... Will post a pic of mine later if that would be of any use...

Nah of course not, you could do that stuff on anything from a BMX to a full sus downhill rig, well you know what I mean- backhop to drop and 270 to drop etc might be a little awkward on a 9" travel rig but you could do it on any trials bike. Basically, 24" tend to be quite stereotyped into only being used for 'shit BMX' which is kind of what they're designed for. However, I just wanted to show that they can equally be used in the woods and what would be considered 'proper' street trials (TGS without the T) combined with a bit of more BMXey oriented stuff... as I said, just something a little different

Yes indeedy!

Just had someone ask where this is... Linky.

Nah, the echo tensioner kept the chain from completely falling off but you can't really call it a tensioner because it doesn't put any tension in the chain... Especially with running FFW the loose spot was just annoying me. 74Kingz for the win/annd jam/and marmalade/and general confiture.

Yeah, Just head for Verwood from Ringwood and it's on the left. Still a little under developed but there's actually a meeting there on Saturday morning about what to build next. I know. Was just something to do really and to show that 24" bikes don't just have to be used for shit BMX (even when running silly pressures and street tyres on wet wood). Will be trying to put together a 'proper' vid when the weather gets better...

Hey peeps, got bored this afternoon so decided to go into the woods today for a play on the 24". Filmed in about half an hour between showers and thrown together in Windows Movie Maker in another half hour this evening... Comments welcome but don't be too mean (I'm no Jonny Jones ok...) Trials-Forum Video -> Full View • Download • Upload Dave P.S. track is The Gamits 'Broken In (Demo Version)' Edit:

Ah, I thought it was a cunning ploy to fool us all

Who's Steve Rowland, Dave?! Another entirely unbiased opinion there Anyway, looking forward to seeing Danny pulling some stupid lines on a full build soon. Dave
