  1. i tried to jump a gap on foot and nearly f*!$% my ankle not making it, then i gaped it on my bike. still laugh about it now. what a tool.
  2. just re-announcing the london ride so if any one has not made plans there will be a session sunday starting at tower hill.
  3. looks like a sunday session. cant wait to get to the bit beside the canal.
  4. just a little tip, if you find your foam grips slide, try and get the left over lock on clamps of rubber grips and put them in place. they no longer slide down the bar. not as light but if you just changed from lock ons to foam then it works a treat.
  5. night ride may be on sat night but if thats done early am in.
  6. SAT NIGHT SAT NIGHT SAT NIGHT SAT NIGHT YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES Thats a silly question. You never need to ask that on this forum. OF COURSE!!!
  7. lol, yeah. not only is his bike up a tree but WHERE THE HELLS THE CHAIR
  8. just do it. instead of hesitating on drops just do it. if you can get into the habit of stacking then attempting the same thing with no hesitation it helps allot. scary but its a damn good buzz. eye up a bus stop and aim to drop off it. if you get the balls to do so all drops below that hight seem easy. sounds like a hardcore way of doing things but when you nail it its awesome and you progress quick. just grit your teeth and man up. concentrate hard and dont think of the what if, instead think of the after success. when you get the bus stop your laughing. my first bus stop scared the living shite out of me but now, well you will understand. the same theory of dropping of around 1 1/2 meters works for larger.
  9. nope, just have to trust for the moment. not the best place on the planet but if if you like tech its the shizzle.
  10. see rides and locations on this forum.
  11. would any one like to ride Finsbury park on sunday? just a couple so far. finsbury has a big load of rocks and a mini stadium. very tech and caters for beginners as well. quite a lot of very hard tech lines to. so many lines.
  12. That motherfu*ker. he will get whats coming to him, pussy's always do. +1

    Leeds ride

    die please.
  14. i am having trouble doing larger side hops. how far would you say, while on the back wheel, should the front wheel be from the wall. nearly touching or a half foot away for example. sometimes i can nail it and others not because i keep trying different methods. its getting on my tits. thanks.
  15. i use echo tr lever and magura pistons with braided hose. very good but lock tight the pad adjuster because it tends to re-adjust its self.
  16. and the tarty crew has a large audience.
  17. police matter. there technology should be able to get him. WHAT A F**K HEAD. i wouldnt sell bike unless met in person for future reference that you probably worked out by now. on the other hand he may be selling to pay you......but i dowt it though. do you know where he lives? if london based i dont mind visiting. not so much a personal favour but more the principle. looks like he is....
  18. i dont have the know how but if some one could put together some sort of a mapping area that people can add locations to ride it would be awesome. so if you come to london for example you can just print off a map with locations to ride and add new ones found. if the already exists please speak up!
  19. if he wants to ride, despite some comments made he would be welcomed by all i imagine. some may find the concept funny at first but seeing him ride would make me personally very happy for him. think its just the media that people see that makes them see the funny side like the vids posted. i would like to think that in practice it would not be the same. i get what people mean by this topic turning a bit sour so maybe some of us handled it a bit insensitively. its quite obvious no harm or offence was intended.
  20. how do you find gapping to front and all that though and why were you not riding yesterday?lol i am off tomorrow and i have an awesome place to show you man, wana ride?
  21. google titanium to get a scientific view. you will find lots of reading and may fall asleep but as far as i can gather you can use less titanium to get the same strength of steel and the same amount would be stronger and lighter, hence the price. to cut a long story short i wouldn't worry at all.
