I'd change that spinny text that said 'Kieran Morrisson' to make it a bit more 'professional', looks like you've gone mental in windows movie maker, other than that not too bad

Why Do My Wheels Wobble? And Bolts Come Loose?
Dwarf Shortage replied to Laurence--Trials's topic in Trials Chat
'Wheels wobbling', sounds like you might have loose cones, get a cone spanner and tighten it up a bit, local LBS may do it for you for free, or intensely cheap. -
MMM!

Has Anyone Learnt Anything New This Weekend!?!
Dwarf Shortage replied to pizan7586's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
Are you using verbose, archaic language in a futile attempt to seem superior, or purely to convey yourself as a massive tit? I've just come in from being in my bike, as not only is it colder than absolute zero, it's also extremely dark. So no. No I won't. Thanks anyway for a gloriously witty remark, being privileged enough to read a comment filled with such intelligence and grandeur brightened my dull evening to no end. -

Site News: New Members Scrappage

So, we 'sin bin' 'em if they do things which would normally lengthen the validation process, such as text talk, etc.? And can full members be sin binned, for example instead of 5 validation votes, if 5 people think a full member is worthy of going into the sin bin, and then a mod can finalise it to make sure it's valid and the system isn't being abused? Similar to banning, but more of a warning. Call it, The Void, and every time you 'sin bin' someone, you shall SEND THEM TO THE VOID. How it would work, an excerpt from my head; NewMember679: hey guyz i lyk dis form u great i luv trails. Me: TO THE VOID WITH YOU. You know it makes sense. -
A few bikes knock around on eBay, there's the For Sale section on here once you're validated, and I'm pretty sure Tartybikes ship to N. Ireland. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/ M.A.D. Phases tend to be popular with beginners, I've got one myself and it's not too bad, pretty cheap too.

My mate used to ride with me on his mountain bike, and he was pretty hopeless when it came to trialsy moves, he had a quick go on my trials bike and was soon spinning and jumping around. A lot of people will say you can still ride trials on a mountain bike, and you can, I can do some trialsy moves on my brakeless BMX, but when you move onto a trials bike, with trials-specific geometry, brakes, etc., it's a lot easier. Obviously with most trials bikes there's no seat, so you have a lot more space to move around, preload, that sort of thing, it's easier to get up on the back wheel - and stay there. People used to ride trials on mountain bikes as trials-specific bikes didn't exist, and some of the riding wasn't bad, but as you look at how the bikes have progressed in trials you can definitely see a correlation as the bikes have progressed the riding definitely has.

People get into a mindstate where it's cool to hate on CoD, and immediately think they're superior to anyone who plays it, my mate got shit for playing MW2 the other day, by his own friends, for playing a game, it's mental. There's a demo out if you didn't know? Guitar Hero will be the death of me.

Age: 17 Male. When you cycle, do you: Wear a helmet - No Wear cycling specific clothing - No Wear reflective accessories - I hang a reflective jacket out the back of my pants if it's dark. Wear gloves - Sometimes, depends on grips Use cycle lights - No Have reflectors fitted to your bike - No Have mudguards fitted to your bike - No Have cycle lights fitted - No Do you wear a bag/use panniers whilst cycling - No When you cycle, do you feel cars notice you? Yes, I'm awesome When you cycle, do you feel pedestrians notice you? Yes, see above What do you do to make yourself more visible to other road users during the day? My bike's bright red. What do you do to make yourself more visible to other road users at night? Reflective jacket hanging out my pants. How much would you be willing to spend on a product that would make you more visible on your bike? <£5 - Depends on the product, what it did, my thoughts on it, how complex it would be, although I wouldn't like to spend much on something that already has things that do the same job. If you have children, would you buy a product like this for them? If it worked, and I had children, I might do. Would you prefer the product to be: An accessory that you attach If the device requires batteries, what is your preferred way of powering a device? Replaceable batteries - If it's on the bike, a dynamo could be pretty useful, I think there are already bicycle lights powered by dynamo, so it's possible. Any other comments? - Thank you for completing my survey, your help is very much appreciated. You're very welcome.

The Girl You Would Most Like To Put Your Dangle In Her Angle!

What face. -
Ahh I see, so I should've known about your bad mood from the information which isn't there. Nah, thanks for the offer, but arguing on the 'inter web' is about as much fun as reading about other people's problems.

Ha, I'm from Rishton, we'll have to ride as soon as I get my bike sorted

I did? EDIT: Ah, I did. Still, however, no need.
