  1. fantastic filming, really did feel like a journey. enjoyed the soundtrack went hand in hand with the riding and filming and gave it emotion.

    i take my hat off to Danny. . . . he's been pushing the limits of riding for years, people always say what more can be done on a bike??? Danny will show you!

    truely inspirational.

  2. Im a Sheetmetal Fabricator / Welder (in australia)

    3rd year apprentice

    we produce alot of stainless steel products such as commericial/domestic benches, canopy's etc we also deal in mild steel, aliminium so theres a wide range of fabrication being done.

    i like the stainless steel work, its the cleanest and looks the best when done. i actually enjoy my job as i make things 5 days a week.

    my goal is while im still in my trade, is get all my welding tickets (MIG / TIG / STICK) and become a class 1 welder.

  3. not the biggest fan of resolutions.

    but....

    take more photos of things i do and just my life. in my opinion nothing beats photos.

    make the most of the weekends and get around more.

    grow some balls when it comes to girls.

    take chances and opptunities

    be positive and happy, i think people can be too negative about pointless stuff.

  4. "Hello 2 u"

    this is the first ive seen of this. and i cant believe im reading it!

    i first met nick outside pompy station, on his giant, and we had a good days riding. from there our freindship grew. he would often come and ride my area of waterlooville and cowplain, and i would ride his area of fareham. and meeting up at hampshire comps.

    i havent seen him for number of years now, but i know that if i saw him it would be as if no time had past as he's such a good guy to get on with.

    one of a kind, and will not be forgotten.

    heres a video i made a few years ago now, of a friend doing what he loves.

    was looking through old stuff and found it again. i realise the quality isnt great, but comments are welcome none the less as i would like to get back into the video making.

    cheers, ross.

  6. top vid as always jonny!!

    looked like an awsome day, and loads of guys turned up

    some mental lines going down, some that arent even thought of by your avarege rider. i remember when it was unheard of for people to do the "pyramids drop gap" , and now people are going up the bloody thing.

  7. kinda of a similar thing for me, but i just havent been able to ride for about a year, and for most of it, it didnt really bother me, i would look on here every was often and download a vid here an there.

    but lately ive had a massive urge to get back into it, cuz ive emmegrated i dont know too many people or have much to do. and it seem abit crazy but ive found myself as im going places, looking at things and thinkin how i could ride it.

    not really the same, but as people have said, if you love it just keep on, and it needs abit of effort like goin on rides etc. but it'll come back.

  8. Hey Ross

    So you're from Portsmouth? There are a few of us Uni guys to ride with if you'd like. But back to your original Q.....

    The Ozony would be a good choice, if i understand your situation correctly. The Revells were a lot shorter, but this newer breed of bikes feel just as good on the back wheel, if not better due to the BB rise. You will not be able to bunnyhop as easily, but taps and front gaps should feel easier. Also on natural the Ozony should be very nice indeed!

    Specifically the Ozony frame....i think its a great choice, not too long, light, strong.....I've ridden Adam Bessell's before and it felt really very flicky and great on the back wheel, i'd highly recommend one. I'm sure you will not have a problem with the wheelbase!

    Set up wise; Forks - Echo lites, Stem - high rise (ish), Bar - (I see most people riding these bikes with flat bars, but i'd say the old Zoos or montys, as you do street), Rear hub - Pro II. I'm sure you will recieve lots of different opinions, so good luck with it!

    Neil

    thanks for that neil. I think it will be a good choice for me!

    yeh i am from portsmouth but i live in australia now...... haha

    i do miss it, portsmouth is a pretty good place to ride.

    anyone else got some feedback?

  9. righty-o guys,

    i havent ridden in a good year and half. and im gunna get back into it.

    a bike that has caught my interest is the 'Ozony's Cannibal'. i used to ride a revell 26", and got on with it really well, prob the best bike ive had. just wondering how im gunna go with the longer wheelbase. i mainly rode street but i wouldnt say i had a streety style.

    i wanted to get some feedback, from guys who are riding one, or have ridden one. how does it feel?

    also suggestions on setup with frame / forks / bar / stem would be good.

    cheers, ross
