  1. Hi all, Big updated on the website please check it out, like the Facebook page and follow us on twitter! Any feedback would will be appreciated! Thanks, Liam
  2. How/When did it happen, what were you doing etc.? Is your chain super tight? in which case loosen it. where did you get it from? Is it still under guaranty ?
  3. Not yet, just waiting on a frame that needs heli-coiling, preferably not my frame. (touch wood)
  4. I don't think you'll be able to tap it out as the hole won't be deep enough for the tap. As most taps have a pointed end with no threads However I'm not 100% certain, i don't know how deep your hole is...and you may be able to buy a tap with out the pointed end. By the sounds of it you'd probably be better drilling all the way through and using a bolt. but make sure you use knurled/toothed washers to stop the wheel moving aswell.
  5. Yeah man! loveing that frame now that it's pink haha. really cool to see you progressing .
  6. haha, brilliant! I do ride a pretty long Mod and Short stock though, just have a play on someone's stock and see if you like it! thanks!
  7. thanks dude I'm 5' 10 but I'm sure you'd get away with it if you were a few inches shorter! Makes 90% of riding easier, have a play on a friends bike first if possible. thanks, Liam

    Incredible! wish the UK was a bit more like Australia, so much cool natural stuff! and kangaroo's!
  9. thanks dude say what?! who told you this?
  10. thanks mate, I'm loving it at the mo, makes everything easier!
  11. obviously, I just assumed he actually wanted it to sit there permanently like building a concrete wall in his garden which is pretty permanent. but yeha i guess it was kind of a silly thing to say.
  12. Hey dude, I wouldn't bother making it permanent. you'll only get bored of it. make it out of pallets (you can obviously nail them together etc.) but then you can take them apart in a few months or move them around and mix it up. I might get some pics up of mine atm tomorrow for you.
  13. You seem to be doing quite well so far, getting technique and bike control is all practise! once you're more confident with bike control and your abilities you won't be so stiff on the bike. so keep riding! I can't tell whether you BB is +55 or +85 ? but I'm 5' 10 and I ride an echo pure 2012 which is +55. I use Viz. 720 bars tilted forward and a 125 * 25 stem. and it works fine for me and I feel comfortable on it. when you ride you seem to have very little control staying on the back wheel and you seem to pedal kick forward a lot to keep the front end up. try getting rid of those stem stacker and your font wheel should sit higher up when your on the back wheel giving you better control on your rear wheel. practise doing smaller hops/staying stationary on the rear wheel with very little movement. you also seem to drag your brake far to much, go easy on the brake. unscrewing your TPA a bit might help you to get your head round not applying the brake so early. (when your gapping you apply breaks almost as soon as you leave the first object, you want to apply them about 3/4 of the way through the gap) When gapping, try taking off when stationary doing small hops (that aren't really pedal kicks) just before gapping. and when you do gap try gapping sideways more. (forward foot facing away from the gap) as you can use your hips to push the bike further in front of you (son't over do the sideways-ness though!) EDIT: Sam is right nicer bars will help the feel of the bike. but i think he may be wrong about the higher stem. higher stem means wheel closer to the ground so you have to lean back more to stay steady on the rear. try removing stem stacker's for a while before spending any money!
  14. windows live movie maker is free and works quite well takes a while to "prepare" the clips for editing. but then seems to work alright although the changed the timeline feature which makes it a bit naff. usable though. I use vegas pro 9 which is brilliant once you get used to it. what camera have you got/ what file format does it record in ? if it's a panasonic or sony it may record in avchd which is a pain and you'll need something better like vegas.
  15. well I might start doing a few natural only videos then! cheers thanks guys
  16. Hi guys, check out the new logo in the original post, what are your thoughts? and please like and share the new Facebook page, a few more tutorials coming in the next week!
  17. I sent one of mine of a year or so ago, they've accepted it just waiting for the tv appearance and some dollah!
  18. thanks rich! yeah, get out! haven't seen you for ages, where have you been ?!?
  19. Excuse the lack of general creativeness, manuals and X-ups, but I've just a made a video of what I enjoy and enjoyed doing, which is what it should all be about! I never really got round to filming clips with the purpose of being creative, but oh well! I enjoyed getting all these clips so I hope it comes across in the video. This is also my first video on a stock! Cheers guys!
  20. Cousts. Heatsink cousts or "real" cousts, but by the looks of it heatsink have started to mould their cousts the same as "real" ones. they're greeeeeaaaaat. assuming you have a grind? without a grind nothing will work in the wet.
