Right its almost time for our towns annual fancy dress 3 legged pub crawl and I need to think of a costume! Won best costume for the last 2 years and wanna at least look good again if not win it but I'm stumped about what to wear this time so anyone got any suggestions. Bear in mind that it's gotta be for pref 2 or 4 people, be homemade (looks better that way) and be able to walk 3 legged (although we blagged it last year!) and original. Oh yeah, tasteful as well! Every year we get smurfs, mario bros, army, police, etc, etc.. Here's our last 2 efforts, what you reckon?? Legion of doom 2 years ago Cool runnings last year complete with homemade sled and quality 1 piece lycra swimsuits

I've been practicing my gaps to front but I'm really struggling with the technique of it. Been trying between 2 pallets so as not to kill my wheel, I backhop upto the edge and when I go to jump i preload, give the pedal a kick and jump forward (as if doing a normal gap to rear wheel) but then as soon as I put my weight forward to get over the front wheel it just drops down. Should I be waiting till the front wheel is over where I want to land before shifting my weight or am I going about the whole thing wrong?? Determined to figure this out as gaps and up to fronts are the things that are really holding back my riding at the moment, there'd be so much more stuff I could ride near my house if I can get them nailed!

Must depend on what browser you're using then cause I'm on crappy windows nt server at work

In that case I don't know what to suggest. I've got it set to trialsforum v3.1 at the moment and its not showing up but whenever I switch back to cleancut its there!

I always have a good time!

Can't wait to see this from the screenshots you put up but I'm stuck at work for 8 hours now and can't watch videos!!

Simple, change the forum skin to cleancut v3.1 at the bottom and the option to sign out shows below your username

Shouldn't that be pre-potions??!!

Right just have to see who else fancies it, anyone??

I'll probably drive as I'm only half an hour away but could possibly meet at station or give you directions.

Superb, will edit the post accordingly!

This is true, I've got a cam that records in HD and my laptop hates it as it's a few years old and not hd compatible. Why not try converting the video from HD down to a smaller resolution, other than that I think it'll be an upgrade in computer thats required!

Taches are well cool!! I'll be growing a tache later this year again for charity, don't whether to do tacheback in September or Mowvember (can probably guess when that is!)

Anyone fancy a bod around in Matlock quarry this thursday, friday or saturday??

Yeah might look out for that ryan leech dvd, just missed it on ebay not long ago!

No one really round my area who rides at all never mind on a mod, and cause I work odd shifts I can't make it to rides nearby like matlock quarry as I work most weekends and get days off in the week. Like today would be perfect day for a ride but I'm on 8-7 and then back workin at 6am tomorrow so can't really go out after work! It's a right pain in the arse!!

Wouldn't have thought so, the rims on that page are ancient!

Anyone know if there's any decent riding spots in Macclesfield?? Gonna have to meet up with a few lads soon to pick up some tips and get some decent practice done as the town I live in is wank for riding at my current standard!

This is true, have to get a ferry to my mums from oban and used to do some riding there years ago when I used to ride! Just doin the usual this year, week in wales with the missus, our son, an her mum an sisters. Don't mind goin with her family as it means its free and there's someone to babysit if I wanna go riding or me and the missus wanna go out at night!

Is this ready yet??!!

I'm confused by this?!

Does anyone know of any good instructional vids or just good vids to pic up tips off with riders on mods? Managed a quick half hour before work on mine but still struggling a bit as I've never seen anyone ride one in person so not really got anything to go off and all the vids I see on youtube tend to be either too advanced for me at the moment or they flick from one clip to another so quick you cant get a good look at how stuff is done!

Any chance you could a set done for me in red??
