    Hey guys, have recently started considering entering afew comps again.

    But im not really wanting to enter lighweight XC races, and im not sure my bike will cope with a full on DH race

    Anyone know of any All mountain/trail orientated comps?

    And if so where are they, dont really want to travel too far...

    cheers

    Or if you've got the money viz forks. Love me stock ones.

    Word. Viz! forks are sweet, i love mine

    On the SL front, i was riding with a Ben Johnson in west bay who had only had his SL's for a number of weeks and doesn't do alot of moves to front.

    He decided to begin learning hooks and after 5 or 6 attempts the forks snapped clean in half on one side.

    Seriously, they are made of cheese.

    PM Ben, he'l probs send you the pics if you ask nicely

  13. Winter Gloves

    It doesnt work, if you have any rubber detailing on your gloves that catch on them, and they will split if used on the outside (they're not that tough)

    The whole idea of having them on the inside is just to keep your hands warm, that fact that any sweat you build up is stuck there aids the warmth. And if anyone doesnt like the idea of having horrible sweaty hands all day then just take 3 or 4 pairs with you.

    Riding gloves are designed to be tough, grippy and protective, let them do their job, and let these keep you warm

    What you need are some surgical gloves like these

    You can get them from internet retailers for bugger all and they are awesome!

    Completly wind proof and water proof

    All you do is put them on underneath your current gloves, and then, you still get the advantage of the feel of a thin glove, and more warmth than a winter glove that lacks feel.

    I learnt this technique when i used to race downhill and some guy from the silverfish/cove team showed me

    I dont do any weights or gym work specificly for trials. I have 3gym sessions a week with my college course so I tend to do abs work, free waights and benchpress.

    After recently getting a new all mountain/trail off road bike im clocking up anywhere between 20-40miles a week on the Quontock hills which is really improving my cardio

    Besides from that, I just ride my trials bike

    oh, and the mrs ;)

    My mum has beaten breast cancer.

    I dont care how crap college has been at times, arguments with the mrs, little fall outs with mates or the bikes having issues.

    My mum has beaten breast cancer

    and that has made 2009, amazing.

    edit: aah crap and now im shedding a tear...

  25. Is It A Bit Grim Up North?

    If I were to stay in the UK, I can't see myself ever moving from the South West. Through the summer there's nowhere else I'd want to be - sun out, roll out of bed onto the beach. Swim home, go for a ride at one of the infinitely many amazing spots this way. Back for a BBQ on the beach into the night before a night out in an abundance of places with great nightlife where I'm not going to get shot/stabbed like anyone north of the M4. ;)

    I knew i could rely on a quality post from you or Rich to back me up brotha'
