  1. Paypal has been very good for me. I had my paypal account "hacked" and someone spent about £300 over several credit cards / bank cards on virtual items such as money on warcraft etc. so the items didn't actually need a delivery address (only an online alias). I emailed paypal telling them that my account had been used fraudulently and they contacted all the relevent companies and stopped them from 'dispatching' the items and recieved a full refund from all of them. Infact, as most of the stuff was purchased from abroad, when i was redunded the conversion rates worked in my favour and i gained a whole £4. As for catching the b*****d, they traced the IP to europe....fantastic.... But yeah, keep at it and you'll probably get a result. Andy P
  2. No, just a pet hate. twat... Andy P
  3. I dont know what I've been doing differently to everyone else but I've never snapped a frame. My first "real" trials bike was an Echo ES3 which had a reputation of snapping easily. I bought it used when it was about 2 years old and rode it for another 2 years maybe before someone spotted the tinyest hairline crack where the seat stays met the seat/top tube. I then got a Planet X Zebdi, used it for about 6-7 months before getting my deal with MAD. Recently sold it to a friend of mine to fund my heroin addiction. I've been riding for MAD for almost a year now ( that year has gone a bit quick!!) and I've only put a small crack in the driveside chainstay (which was a common fault on the earlier ones) after a weekend at NASS. I got the newer frame which had a few extra welds / gussets and I never had any problems with it for quite some time. I then got given the newer 'Team Super Pro' and only swapped from my second frame because I prefered the colour of the new one . These ones are very light weight - much lighter then even the earlier ones I believe and I've been riding this one for quite a while now and it's been as safe as houses. Nobody mention Jack Meek....He seems to eat frames for breakfast... Am I the only one who doesn't 'expect' to snap a frame?? Andy P
  4. Stop watching american tv shows and go to an English lesson - MUM!! I'm scared of Dave Marshall's biceps and Jimmy Porters big ginger balls. Andy P
  5. Ok, for those that are still slightly too retarded to understand, here's an easy practical exercise you can try for yourself. All you need is - A marble (or any small ball / stone) A beach ball (or any large ball) A small static target (rail / post / sleeping dad's slaphead) Ok, now stand a few paces away for the target. Try and hit the target with each ball. Which sized ball is it easier with??? Now make like an emo and hang your head in shame and sit in a dark room. Andy P
  6. I'll be there, probably late - unless Adam does a better job of dragging me out of bed this time. Andy P
  7. Aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight, I'm there. Andy P Note: 21 on the 14th may
  8. Myself and a few of my mates will be hitting the streets of Portsmouth this Saturday (weather dependant - as always ) Just the usual Guildhall at 11 - 11:30 job. Andy P
  9. Ahhh, I knew it would happen one day - the looooong silver bubble would pop and every one will rush to get a shorter frame again...Long live short bikes My wheelbase ranges from 1035 to 1050 ish, depending on weather I've been hooking or tapping.... Andy P
  10. You think you dont have any time to ride??? Wait until you've entered the "real world" of a full time job and you'll come to realise how much spare time you really had back in the days of being a student. At the moment I go to work when its dark, come home when it's dark ten hours later and all I want to do when i get home is sleep. I wake up, go to work when its dark...etc etc... 5 days a week. Weekends I'm busy doing all those things that I've just not had time to do and I have to make time for Charlotte too. I'm lucky if I've actually got the time to ride. If you want to ride, you will - no matter how busy your life is. Andy P

  13. A friend of mine makes stickers / signs. Here's his website Mention my name and this forum (he's a trials rider as well) Andy P
  14. Not really sure these days... Did a 3.80m (12.5 ft) rolling with a 1.5 ft drop in bristol a year or so back. Static...no idea..I know I've done 8 ft+ before. Who measures anyway?? Does it matter?? Having fun doesn't always mean going big (I keep telling myself bigger is not better ) Andy P
  15. Class of '93 5th row down, far right Andy P
  16. It's your own fault though, it wouldn't happen if you didn't have such big bloody balls. You see; Me = small balls = no problems Andy P
  17. AHHHH, I really wanted to do reading this weekend because I've not ridden it properly before. It's all your fault - your damn video has given me the inspiration to ride again! I'm meant to be riding worthing tomorrow....but I'm sure they'd survive a ride without me. An indecisive Andy P....
  18. Is it the saturday the 14th or sunday the 15th? Unless you're talking about sunday the 14th of may, my birthday..... which i doubt. Andy P
