  1. Yeah we have been talking about it on here and hope she is okay, I only found out because I was following Jack. It's all rather quite for now regarding the situation as she's still in hospital and her family would like their privacy. As soon as someone can give a update I am sure that they will. You can via facebook follow some sites that would provide a update before it reached our forum though. I guess that having it in trials chat or even new's section would get over looked.
  2. I was hoping that because of the nature of the thread other's would contribute more information over the week, it sounds from reading Facebook that she still remains in a stable condition however is still in intensive care at Krakow. It's now down to her family getting in touch with Serge or whoever is in charge of the French team before anything else is spoken about. I can only really mirror what it says over Facebook so if anyone can update please do...
  3. Pretty much the standard bleeds are shocking, It's a super quick and easy job to re bleed it and it will make the world of difference!
  4. Both of you are super impressive on those bikes, I have no idea how you guys can ride at that level without bakes. The ending was brilliant
  5. Sort of related to the topic because of the long drive down from us we have decided to come down as a group of 4 in the van, Myself, Carl Hopps, Mike Judson and D man. Also with June being a busy month for festivals and so on we have decided we will come down on the 20-21st of this month. I know that a separate date might be posted but we've set on this date for our group anyway so if anyone would be up for joining us that would always be a huge bonus. Simon Gale also said he would try get down that weekend to meet up for a ride, we would be grateful for any kind of tour guide
  6. In Bradford there's a fitness and parkour style set-up and it's fun to ride it's low down stuff but it's decent, more of that would always be a bonus. Although I only go to Radical bikes at these events in my head 50% of it is just for the social, a huge part of the success of Radfest and Tartydays seems to come from the lack of big group rides. Adam: I would be happy to do a event on natural in a location with camping but it would only get my vote if it was a separate event to Tartydays, something like the Tyke trial fun day's they used to have? in the middle of summer would be pretty sweet, what sort of locations cater for us camping?

    I really liked it, Ozonys have a few good videos coming out from their team with Ian's also. The Spin to up to front was my favorite parts for sure.
  8. Raimund Blaser "her brake slipped while dropping off a not particularily dangerous obstacle. she was just very unlucky and hit the obstacle with her neck and the back of her head. she was unconscious immediately. now she is in stable condition and will hopefully be fine again but she was put to artificial coma for safety reasons" It was confirmed that the 20" has been cancelled but the 26" Semi finals did continue and the finals are on going. A huge amount of respect from riders to chose not to continue, on another note Carthy got through the semi finals on 0
  9. I was looking up the results on the UCI site to see how Carthy was getting along today and found this, It's rather vague on the site but I think both the Woman's and Men's 20" Finals have been cancelled for the event. Hope she's okay. http://www.uci.ch/pressreleases/uci-statement-169884/
  10. You can't really call yourself out on a move while you're still learning. I always learn a move by doing it at the time the way it felt best for me to try for my ability and then once you're constantly getting that move you can work on your technique from there with the initial move learnt, I learnt getting up things by putting my front wheel onto them and using a pedal stroke to pop it up and it was by no means pretty at the time but after doing them for some time they just naturally turned into second nature.
  11. How you can just switch back to not using brakes and ride that well? You need to spend a month and make a longer edit soon all your little edits are decent but I always want to keep watching
  12. I liked it, doing lot's of things I want to learn. Videos like this always cry out for more trials a few more lines and a bit of height (on the things you're riding) and it'd be even better.
  13. This is Cocky he is I and I am him.
  14. I never looked back to be honest I could never hop as high on 24" but disc brakes are too appealing. I sold the above frame kit and a rider has it built as a 26" now
  15. A Lynx with dual disc I hope!
  16. That was really cool, I would watch more. Keep it up.
  17. Presuming they all started at the same time on different sections if two riders cleaned it all or was on a draw it would be noted who finished and handed their card in first.
  18. Agreed, thanks guys.
  19. Yeah I really like and get along with the tyres, they're slightly narrower than the Contis but not in a negative way. Their pretty clean with the lack of logos also.
  20. Then you might like the update.
  21. The addition of the nipples and the calipers of those brakes also being super clean the bike does look really tidy. I thought I would hate the black version of the spanks because the logo's stand out somewhat more but they work really well with the darker build.
  22. Updated first post, still more parts left to turn up.
