  1. Actually, you ridden with that try all sticky on the back?

    You might find because your bike feels heavy and sluggish, your putting more effort in to doing anything.

    A good set-up will feel light and nimble, like mine (when it isnt broke ;) )

    it does take more effort 2 ride than your bike :mellow: but at least mines working atm :D

  2. im no doc but if its only just started happening id keep a close eye on it but a quick look at your profile says to me a little too much partying the night before might be a good guess lol

    i havent had a propper drink since my birthday in march :P iv cut down by a lot because the best rides are on a weekend and i cant ride hungover :giggle:

  3. go to the gym sounds like a strength issue

    i play with weights at home every few days and if im not at home im out riding hard, so my strength isnt bad. im looking for a job atm but when i get one i think gym will be an option :P

  4. hey.

    is it just me or does anybody else struggle to keep energy whilst doing a line that takes abouts 45 seconds to complete?

    i can do the lines i just lose energy and my riding becomes more sloppy towards the end.

  5. I'd get some proper goggles for what they cost (cheaper than new eyes), the Moto x goggles have loads more vents in so they let more shit in.

    but

    They're better than no goggles, its amazing how much a grain of sand sized speck of hot metal hurts :S

    the vents on mine have a thin layer of foam over them but yeah i might pick some up soon as i have a DIY shop 5 minutes from home :).

    yess the worst bits when your eye starts watering and you can get the metal out :L

  6. always wear safety goggles, i got a bit of slag (hot metal) in my eye and it canes! you never think its gonna happen to you but it will eventually trust me.

    i know the feeling... painfull business. :/ i dont have propper safety goggles so i settle for my trusty moto-x goggles :P

  7. iv been riding in vans for the last few months and theyve been on downhill bikes and trials and iv not slipped off the pedals once. i find that vans have a soft sole inside aswell which provides comfort and padding. with other shoes iv found that the pins on the pedals shred the bottoms of my shoes but iv not had this problem with vans. number 1 shoe in my opinion.

  8. im not sure what sort of green ur spraying but if you want it to be bright then i reccomend a white primer as your base coat, as the green will show up better on a brighter base coat. and if u want it shiney i sugest 3 coats of clear lacquer. i was given these tips when i sprayed my old mountain bike and i was very pleased with my result.
