  1. Don't use single wall rims on the rear for the love of god
  2. Kin hell as if, me and Ben go way back. But with me not riding for a long time now, I've lost track of how good people are. Nice to see he's got good now finally found himself a sidehop technique
  3. Wait, was that Ben-John Hynes in the purple tarty T-shirt and black helmet ? Who did that gap to front pedal through and the sidehop onto the seaside wall at the end ? If so, he's got so sick!
  4. Even if i did ? why's that ? If i could afford to insure one, id have one. Its amazing how little people know. 3rd gear, 50-100, Id love see much keep with it.
  5. 1st time since last year ? That woyuldnt be hard as were only 15 days into January...... I just dont spend my life on here. I was just curious as to why he made the effort to do 3 different colours, rather that the 3 i asked for... seems a waste of his and my time
  6. Forums a joke, I asked for a small favour and people take the piss, the was actually serious as its being taken in to be done today and wanted get an idea. Oh well.
  7. Right guys, Just wondering if someone can do me a favour. Im gonna post the picture of the car below, and then 3 different coloured wheels below, Could someone please do me 3 different photoshops and post them up please of the car i posted, with each of the different colours. In short, photoshop the cars wheels, to them 3 different colours. Would be great! Cheers guys!
  8. Facebooks great. I have people on there who i used to ride with, people i play with on xbox live, people i used to go school with and other people who arnt with 30 minutes away that i can go and say hello to whenever i please. Its nice because one day if someone pops into my head i used to hang around with, I can just jump on there profile and see what there doing with there life and if i want to just drop them a message just to see how there doing. You must have a really short fuse or are very easily irritated if someone posts something you dont like, or god forbid happens to like a page or promote a game, is it any real need to delete them ? Just scroll past it, it takes 1 second. I think if it affects you that much, then theres more of an issue with you as a person that facebook. I post pointless shit all the time and so do 50-8-% of the people on my friends on Facebook, but id never delete them for it. Its madness. Its all about self control, everyones got it, just find it. Then Facebook is fine.
  9. 01:46 you could of snapped your leg completely, so lucky.
  10. Is CLS on a black monty with raceline maggys ? Chris is on a blue and white monty ? Chris tyre taps a tree to two wheels in the video ? Or on the other hand, is this it ?
  11. Me and Luke Rainbird agreeing. Miracles can happen ey pal HOWEVER. One final point. In regards to living the same lifestyle. Generally, the more people earn, the more they want to have (not everyone, my lady works with a dentist who has a small flat and a ford fiesta and earns like 70k a year). I get your point Luke and i fully agree, thats what i'd do. But how many surgeons or structual engineers or lawyers, live in 3 bed semi detached houses and drive ford fiesta's. I dont see it that often to be honest haha. And im not saying people with normal jobs should stick to ford fiesta's! By all means have a BMW if you can afford it haha.
  12. Yano Luke, Alot of that i agree with. Just one point i wanna question about it. In terms of 50% of jobs requiring a graduate...That entirely depends on what your looking for to be honest. All of my jobs ive had, have payed decent. I was on Just shy of 18k at npower (required no qualifications or anything) and before everyone gets on a hype. In Stoke-On-Trent, to get a job, paying 18k, without any qualifications or form of education whatsoever is amazing. Its probably in the top 3 highest payed jobs. But it all depends what your looking for in life. Im happy with 18k a year, money causes to many problems if you ask me. If ive got enough to pay for my house, car, a holiday and hobby i enjoy. Im happy. Too much money makes people greedy and it still makes you no better off, because the more you earn, the more expensive house you have, the more expensive car and the more expensive holiday. So me personally i just dont see a point, i can have all that, might just take me a little longer to get it and i dont want one of these jobs where i have to come home every night and ive finished at 5pm, but work is still on my mind till i go to sleep or i still have work to do once i come home from work and im supposed to be having my time. I wasnt particularly saying university is a complete waste of time. what enrages me, is alot of kids are under pressure these days from parents. I talk to one of xbox all the time. He despises university, but was petrified to drop out cause of what his family would think and call him a disgrace. After half an hour of talking to me, he dropped out. I feel so so sorry for all these kids pressured into this, you are far to young to be making these decsions, at 14 they ask you what options you wanna take at GCSE, then you have to pick what A levels you wanna do at 16, then at 18, your deciding what course you wanna do which basically deciphers what job your gonna do in the future of which your gonna study for 4/5 years and get in mountains of debt...All that at 18 ? Your still a f**king kid, they should come out of school, work for 2-3-4 years, gain some life experience etc. I just think the age that parents force there kids into all this is too young. Back the f**k off and let them live there life. Sorry if i offended you or anything Luke as i know you studied at uni. <3
  13. This is where i have to disagree and have had countless arguments with my girlfriends mum and dad about this. They live a "better" life style than my family as they seem to think, cause they have a bigger house, a few more holidays and a couple of nicer cars. But they drill into my girlfriends head that "If you don't go to university your a failure and you'll never amount to nothing in life". Im like f**k off, are you really that self richous ? Ill tell you my experience with "college" and "university". I've had 5 or so jobs since i've left school and i'll go with the NHS as one of my examples. I worked in the Admin/clerical side of it, I worked with guys and girls, with Law degree's, engineering degrees etc you name it, i've worked with them and out of a building of 35 staff, 18 had degree's or masters in something they did at university and where are they ? Doing the exact same job as me, getting payed the exact same amount as me, and i dont even have 5 GCSE's at A-C. My mum has worked with them too from time to time, some are moving trolleys at Tesco and its not just a "filler" job, some of these people have been left uni 5-7 years. I'll tell you what i feel University is good for. Its good for people who still wanna feel young, You got out with your mates, get f**king pissed every weekend, and just plod through your work and then get your degree, come out of uni, even with a sandwich year, its not enough experience for these companys, so your f**ked and cant get a job. I know, so many people are gonna jump down my throat for this and the reason i believe success can be achieved without this thing called University thats so highly looked upon is sickening. My uncle, Only went as far as college and didnt even complete it. Then went to work for a company, worked his way up to one of the directors or something, then took a course through the company do enable him do run certain elements of that business. He now has 2 business's , 3 houses and more money than anything and hasn't even got a degree. So when, for example my girlfriends mum and dad turn round and say to me "You'll never amount to anything without going to university, what are you thinking?" I turn round and say "If you really believe, life is all about money, then your life is pretty f**king dull" Thats my two cents. If even on person agree's with me, Ill be amazed. Peace.
  14. Uploaded some more stuff last night guys, hopefully get round to doing some more today!
  15. Watched your video's in new members chat. Saw you havnt quite found your balance point on your rear wheel. Which is vital in your progression in trials as its the thing you use the most out of anything else, without finding your balance and balance point correctly, everything else you learn to do from hear on out will be done wrong, with the wrong technique. I like to refer to, don't run before you can walk. Quite a high spec to be learning on aswell. Abit of advice from me. -Ditch the rear disc and get a magura or something (Not sure if that frame has 4 bolt mounts to accommodate for magura or not) -Get your chain tensioned up properly, looks abit too slack. -Maybe invest in some trialtech bars, they have more rise on them than the ones you have now, the rule generally is, the higher your front end, the better you control is when on the back wheel. I noticed in your videos, everything looks rushed what your doing. Trials is a sport of precision and control and i understand the eagerness to want to do gaps and drops etc, but the importance of getting your balance and control just on flat ground is so important, for two reasons: A - So you don't hurt yourself, Trials is an extremely dangerous sport and B - So that everything you learn from here on out is done correctly. If you continue on how are are, you'll get in a state of mind where you feel you can just go ontop of a 5ft wall, do one pedal kick to the end and then just pedal kick again and throw yourself off it and hope to land on the wall/rail/kurb your aiming for and it's dangerous. Get your balance, control, technique and stability dialled on flat ground and then move onto obstacles. Please don't feel like I'm having a go at you. I'm merely giving you my advice from 10 years of riding. If you need anything, give me a shout.
