  1. Told you it was fine for the money!
  2. Crikey! f**king oolllld skool, should do fine for getting back into thing's and i bet it was cheap enough
  3. Is it the seriously old one that has a mini seat?
  4. Erm, link me to the bike page, instead of the large pic link, it don't want to load up for me T-pros are amasing little bikes! You wont regret the purchase, i had one that i didn't wanna use got over the fact it was a t-pro and loved the bike and wouldn't hesitate at another! If its standard your going to want to change the forks bars & stem because they are quite heavy if i remember correctly. Get some riser bars, new freewheel and rear hub and your away!
  5. Could have rode today, but nooo JB say's the sign must be done by today, so he can get his dinner for free! Proper wounded, 9th day having not ridden starting to get the shakes :P

  6. it is, but if you have only ever ridden trials bikes there will be other stuff you could over look.. And Cap sort your life out
  7. But that's a blatant lie.. Do i not recall semi recent pictures of you side hopping your xc bike? Ok, you were riding proper trials on it. But you must have done some trials that day. And don't you own a bmx?
  8. Totally with this! I think it was Luke Rainbird who commented on a video "Yay for having fun on bikes!". And it's stuck with me for some reason! It's what its all about, i didn't pick up a bike thinking i want to get up this wall! I started trials because it looked fun! And i don't just ride trials between me and my other half we have 8 bike's that are all for different types of riding, street trials, comp style, park bike, cruise bike, go fast bikes, and all round FR MTB's. We may be out on the Xc bike's spot a cool rock and see what we can do with it, i mean i learnt the basics of trials on the longest jump bike it the world, so i don't think anything is impossible. Hence i have a 24 with peg's i love the idea that one day I'll find an upto back on a wall or ledge then hopping to a grind or something. Although i think i am super weird because of my short attention span, i can't stay at the same spot for any longer than 30mins or i just want to go to sleep or not ride. Might also be because Blackpool has alot to ride, and i appreciate that a lot of trials rider's hometowns only have a wall that progressively gets bigger! If i didn't have a lot to ride and just a wall i would have never even got into trials let alone stuck at it! So i do have a lot of respect for riders that have had to do it. And they might arrive somewhere like the moonrocks and without a marked out route would not have a clue where to go on them. The main thing i really don't understand is the people who ONLY RIDE TRIALS! Fair enough not having the money or space for 8 bike's, but i couldn't imagine just riding trials. I ride the bmx track and park on my 24 (taught me a lot!! especially when on the moonrocks, made me spot little lines with kickers verts etc) Xc & FR it's just fun and therapeutic, me and my other half also have time trials going on, on the way to work. We started with 14min times and have both been slowly getting the time down, just a bit of fun competition that you could do on your own. And obviously trials as it's my favourite, as it's rewarding, challenging, a great fitness regime and it pushes me to want to better myself at it. When i go in a sk8 park i'm quite happy to mill about not doing massive thing's. But with trials it doesn't have to be a massive side hop or gap, nor be stupidly dangerous to be rewarding. LOL! Sorry for the rant just read it back through and i chat shit at times!
  9. ordered myself a new lid today, hopefully this means I'll finally get a lap round the carpark on the Hyabusa! Or at least a go on the back of it! :D

  10. Its that time of year again! Competition time, here at Blackpool Bike Trials we're trying to think of ways to give back to the trials community as you guys deserve it. So with quite a bit of thought and finalising logos etc we've managed to get a very small clothing range going. The first ever t-shirt to be made is up for grabs on our Facebook page, all you have to do is like the picture and share it (publicly) to your news feed. There will be another competition to win a street trials version of the t-shirt once this competition ends on the 31st of august 2013. The main thing we'd like to ask is what would you change about them? They will be available to buy for just 14.99 posted in black and white colours will be 15.99 and will be available with or without quotes! Let us know what you think and get to our Facebook page to enter the competition: www.facebook.com/blackpoolbiketrials
  11. I used to like looking for a new pair of glove's.. With it being my 4th set this year it's kinda pissing me off..

      I'm on my second EVER pair of gloves. (Fox ones both times) I can definitely recommend them.

      My revs started falling apart within the first month of having them and I'm not exactly a regular rider. Had a pair of Fox ones before that as well which did last a year but spent most of that year with holes at the end of the fingers. Old skool Mechanix gloves are where it's at!

      Fox were the first gloves i bought, and they were too big so jim has them. And still no hole's, so fox are good! But he don't fall off as much as me :P

  12. Same, spent up my paypal last night. Will chuck a donation over asap Thank yoooo
  13. Looks like were on a roll mine arrived this morning too! Going to put the orange one on the marino without Jim noticing. Lets see how long it stays there for! Any recommended spots on the bike for maximum stealth?

    Here's a question, since cap uses a front magura set-up, like a less smooth costellier. Is someone needed who uses their front brake excessively to test some rotor bolt's. Jim's a fine candidate for it!
  15. *hand* I also can't belive Dan didn't get revolvers comment... LOL!
  16. Ok so starting your own business isn't as easy as i thought. 10:40 and my heads already fried

  17. Use illustrator most cutters have software that has a plug in for it.. Bit late replying i know
  18. Went to Birmingham today, damn that place has changed the only spot i could remember was this one.. And here's a fail sequence from today! Would put it up as a video, but that would be giving too much away http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.226061914186405.52051.194356334023630&type=1 Cba copying all the link's yes i'm a lazy bitch! Thanks guys
  19. Sure you hadn't tried it on the other side and strained too much with that expression? Good stuff though!
  20. Good question! Spoke to someone who was watching me ride the moonrocks a week or two back. They are one of the main people on the council for event's in blackpool and they want me to have a meeting about setting up a demo/event in blackpool. Anyone got any thought's i'm damn sure me and jim can obtain the sound and media equipment needed. All we need is stuff to ride we can set up in the town square!
  21. Yeah, i did think it wasn't one of my best idea's. I do have super spazzy feet aswell, i'm forever adjusting my feet through being a mong! Conclusion, if i wanted them black, maybe. White will be awkward, and probably fall off. So i'll just buy some once i've killed these or feeling rich! Thanks guys
  22. Virgin do suck! Someone mentioned the cycle carriages, they work for us Instance: Can fit loads more in there too!
  23. Been wondering why my headset wont pre-load, and my top cap keeps coming loose, leaving playing in the front end. I had put the top cage in upside down and bent it. Duuuur Anyone have a spare FSA Pig top bearing cage spare? :P

    1. Cap

      Cap

      Just use lose bearings

  24. Looking at the price of white 3 piece cranks it don't seem worth the spend when the cranks i have are fine. Has anyone tried painting a set of cranks or is it the worst idea i've ever had?
