This may sound a bit random, but does anybody know of any edits that have been made of riding in a school. Am planning to do this for a competition I am entering, and would like some inspiration. Many thanks James

Bit off topic, but looking for feedback on this video. Is the first non-trials video I've done, and not sure what I think of it, so I am turning it over to you guys for an opinion. http://vimeo.com/30855483 For those who prefer youtube, Many Thanks James

Do you reckon tacking a small bar onto the inside and opposite edge of the ratchet ring, and then using that to twist it off would work? James

I would back the Pentax Kr to no end if you can find one! James

The teeth are well and truly beyond that unfortunately. I'll get them up now JD James

Hey guys, Just got my hands on a Hope XC and the ratchet is comepletely FUBAR'd. Got in touch with Hope and they said it is probably not something they could remove as the lack of teeth mean the tool won't grip. Anyone got any ideas as to how to remove the bugger? Have a spare ratchet ring sat next to me now in perfect condition and I want to get it in so I can finally get my DH rig up and running. Many thanks James

Cheers Ben! I've finally found an aspect of riding that doesn't leave me broke or hurt! haha Thanks James

New video form Bristol rider Andrew McCabe, all in glorious HD! Now with his new sponsor 54Sport, It the the start of great things to come for Drew! And for those who prefer youtube, Keep up the good work buddy! Many thanks James

Just done all of the Bristol ones James

So who won?

Wasn't meant to be a link, I just didn't put a space between group and on, and it did it automatically. James

Most days, though come and on a Saturday or Sunday rom 11 o'clock you are guarantee'd to find someone. There is also a Bristol Trials Groupon facebook for local riders to organize riders... take a gander and add yourself. James

Anywhere between castle park and cumberland basin usually does James

Unfortunately I don't have the money.... James

Just got my results earlier! Got an A* in Maths, and A's and B's for everything else (got an F in History but lets not count that one ) Bring on sixth form! James

Yep. I Think until can afford a brand new frame I need to accept I am going to break them, and deal with it. Your Leeson was nice though Thanks James

You can buy an adaptor.... James

True actually, the bird wasn't destroyed.... mind you I sold it because I got extremely worried as it's not the strongest of frames out there. I too thought the Inspireds were the strongest frames out there....seems I was wrong, well maybe this particular one at least. James

Sounds perfect then.... that or it sounds like a challenge haha James

Hard life, and even harder with me learning spins! Is there much history of the old seatless zoots cracking? Ever had any returned to your shop? Thanks James

Must be at least 2 or 3. It was Ben Rowlands old one, so when I got it there was a small crack in the toptube which I believe you drilled at tartydays? The rear end however was intact wiht no cracks or signs of stress. I think my problem originally was that I was trying to do streety stuff on compy style bikes. Seems streety stuff for me will destroy anything! I hope the zoot won't be though! Am broke at the moment, and looking at my mates there seems to be loads of excess bracing on the rear triangle. Thanks James

My Inspired died whilst on holiday the other week, so thought I may as well put up some pics for all to see. The chainstay had snapped entirely through the drop-out, and 90% of the way through the BB end. it took a small tap on the side from my hand for it to completely fall away. There is also a crack around the entire toptube just in front of the seat tub, and numerous more cracks in the remaining dropouts. I admit I am a particularly heavy handed rider, and brakeless does take it's toll on bikes which normal trials doesn't. Anyhow here are the pictures. Bit worried now as Inspireds are one of the strongest frames out there, so if I can obliterate one of these, I must be able to do anything. I've just purchased an old style Onza Zoot, so let's see how it holds up! It would be interesting to see how many Inspireds have actually snapped, as I can't recall many off the top of my head. (You can just see part of the top tube crack in this one!) Thanks James Ps. This is frame no. 6 that I have destroyed. I will have been riding 1 year as of the end of this month. The list is as follows: - Giant Boulder - Da Bomb CR8 - Diamondback Kabuki Mono - Onza Bird 09 - Neon Bow 09 - Inspired Fourplay

Remember you are not allowed to use gay derrogatively any more.... you must use the term microscooterist now! haha Like the bike though James

I was the one to ask on facebook Ben, so I'm pretty sure 'd be the only one... unless Mark Westlake or Ali are riding in which case I am guarantee'd last place! Thanks James
