    I think the obvious interest would be trials biking yus? Well it is ha. Recently became attached to the sport and don't intend on stopping. I also do Mountain Biking, Downhill Freestyle MTB'ing, a bit of BMX'ing ... Pretty much anything on a bike :) Wait... No road bikes with the funny handles! They go fast and its a comfy ride yes, but its not as fun as leaping off things!

  1. Got to have a bit of everything when riding, either put my phone on shuffle or flick through the best songs. Love listening to DnB and Dubstep when riding, for some reason just makes everything better Also love a bit of rock when riding, nickelback, Green Day, Blink 182, Nirvana etc

    What an amazing picture! The sunset adds so much affect to the pic. Good job mate ;)
  3. One of the vital things to learn is balance.. If you already have a good sense of balance then just step it up a level. If you don't have a good sense of balance then doing any hopping on the back wheel could seem impossible at first. Personally my sense of balance was atrocious and still isn't amazing, but what I did to battle this was jumping the front wheel onto a curb (either one step or two), holding on the back brakes and just keeping the bike upright with you balanced on this. Then move onto moving the front wheel about and eventually bring the front of the bike up so your balancing on the back wheel. Don't think you will be able to do loads of tricks straight away, learnt the hard way annoyingly... ended up in a tree on many occasions.. ahem. And yes get Ryan Leeches DVD. I bought it and put it on my iPod so I can look at it as many times as necessary when I'm out and it helped LOADS
  4. Well like people have already said Danny Mac has managed to do it. Giving up his job so that he could ride his bike for a living. In one of his videos he explained that he gets to do what he loves as a job now. But I think with Danny he managed to do it with luck, when he put his first video up he didn't expect it to take off like it did and from there it gained a lot of attention from the large sponsors. First of all sponsored with Tarty Bikes and now with Red Bull and Dig Deep clothing. The money he gets from the sponsors and shows is good enough for him to live but I'm guessing that things are limited. He does live in his camper after all I suppose it isn't impossible but it is hard and you have to be VERY good or unique at it and have luck on your side Also if you want to ride as a living then you probably won't be able to afford luxuries (big house, loads of tv's etc) But if your like me and riding is all your interested in then just give it your best shot!
  5. Nice pictures Should be going up to bristol in the summer for a week purely for some trialing.. Apparently its good up there
  6. Hmmm.. Driving test in May... Trial Fest in July.. Looks like I'm going to have to get me a van, shove the bike in the back and come up to that.. Hopefully theres still tickets
