  1. I just don't understand that you do like 36 hour shifts in the sweltering heat yet you maintain such long hair! I think I'd die haha

    haha I wish they were 36hr weeks, more like 50+, it was so unbelievably hot then, ive never had sweat run off me from just sitting down haha! Yeah the long hair didnt help, but oh well haha

  2. That feeling of accomplishing something, the feeling when someone better than you tells you that you did well!

    When your boss says thankyou and he's impressed

    That first sip of an ice cold cider after a days riding on a hot day with mates.

    Thats feeling of meeting a new girl and it feeling like you have know them ages, being all relaxed around each other.

    Watching a real nice sunset or sunrise, or just seeing a view thay stops you in your tracks for a slight second and makes you forget everything

    When a song that you forgot about but used to love comes on and makes you smile! Or a song that comes on and has relation to a current situation, always makes my hairs stand on end that!

  3. There is just very little video footage of Joe riding so not a great deal of people know much about him.

    We're hoping to sort that out a little this year, and Joe's mentioned he'd like to get 1 little edit out each month.

    Also, his riding is most impressive on technical natural - something which is often lost in videos

    that would be awesome, basically a lot better put of what i was trying to say by underrated, his technique and style is amazing and not many people know because of limited footage, his last proper video was what 09? be cool to see some more new videos of him!

  4. I've never noticed any higher resistance (ON the bike) when back pedaling and I always tighten the chain as much as I can.

    don't do that, you will f*ck your freewheel up in no time, caused by putting to much strain on the bearings, trust me.. my mate used to do it super tight, got told loads of times to slacken it, went through 3 freewheels in a couple months before he listened, as said you want it so it doesn't sag when looking at it, the freewheel spins freely when turned back wards and that the bottom side of the chain will touch the chain stay without much force.. so around an inch of play

  5. Maxxis minions are good.. lighter than a standard try all tyre while being gripper and lighter than the conti's.. cheaper than a der kaiser.. good wear rate and the nobbles are massive so it really wraps to stuff! I cut every other side nobble off mine which looks good to. Highly recommend

  6. HOW desperate?

    From the description, I guess fairly, but are you desperate enough?

    My old red one's just gathering dust. It's a quite beaten up, and I think the back end is a little splayed out, but at least it's in one piece :P

    I say you need to be desperate as due to it being one of the very earliest Jafs made, it's made from plain-gauge tubing and comes in at 2.8kg.

    If you just want something to ride and can hack the weight, it's yours. The geometry is a little off (a touch shorter front end), but it's pretty close.

    I know we discussed it before and you ended up not having it, but it's still there if you want it.

    I know this is nothing to do with me but its generosity like this that makes me love trials and this forum. Everybody is willing to help each other out to keep them riding
