  1. Just saying a bad bone break, like a femur, or a head injury could seriously damage their careers, or end them completely.
  2. The thing I could use to put it into perspective for Matthew is something like Ali C's crash at Tartydays, when he badly damaged his foot. That was as a result of the wet log causing his tyre to slip. Yeah he knew it was dangerous, and he still did it, but he still had to live with the bad injury. If that happened to Kenny or Gilles, they would be swallowed up by the ranks of riders looking for glory, and might never return to the heights of their career. That would be extremely unfair, and I think it was the right thing to do, to abandon. Ali C is a great rider, and because his career came from his great street videos and unique riding, as well as comps, and that is why he still remains in the trial's worlds eye. When someone like Kenny or Gilles is injured, they don't have the fame from videos that Ali does, and comp riding doesn't leave room for different styles, only placing, so that could probably mean the end of their sponsorship, and potentially their income. That's only my opinion however. I still think his abandonment is because he can't win in mud with upside down handlebars, but still, the conditions were dangerous.
  3. Taking fashion advice from Gilles.... Not even once. Different colour shoes. Tut tut
  4. I don't think you realise that if you have no one to trade with its very difficult to make large amounts of money. Plus debt means that they are even more inclined to want to see America prevail, at least til they pay them back.
  5. To clarify, a sarcasm button is needed. I don't really want nuclear war. I've seen the destruction Chernobyl caused, and that was only an accident, so I can imagine if a nuke detonated in anger wed all be f**ked.
  6. I'd love to see a few nukes being launched. Dunno why, just want to see a proper nuclear war. Tubby c*nt won't do anything though, and America would just annihilate them. No one would help, not even China, because they need western trade and expertise. Also America spends more on their military then 3 of the BRIC countries combined.
  7. I'd go with the echo lite 09 linked in Calops post. Nice solid bike, good geo and nice parts
  8. f**k it, give him a BMX frame to ride trials on so.
  9. +70 on a mod is very normal actually, and a high handle bar setup will compensate for the raised position. Plus 1000mm isn't very short. Talk to Flipp about his high BB,short frame, doubt that's a comp bike.
  10. No it won't hinder him, it'll be unusual for about half a day, then it'll feel good. Why would he buy a beginners bike, when he could get a modern one at the start and progress on that.
  11. At your height, buy a 20" bike secondhand. Try and get something with plus 70 bottom bracket, and about 1000mm long. Buy something with a good drive train, and a nice wheel set and stem and handlebar setup(about 150mm × 30°) and a high rise bar.
  12. Jack and Gilles go to the gym. Direct quote from Jack"I'm were lifting some quite heavy weights". And Gilles thanked his personal trainer on his website for his help throughout the last season. Technique+gym=great riding. Power can also come from constantly performing the plyometric movement in sidehops though.
  13. I get abuse in school for being the weight I am, and all I have is less than 20% body fat. I exercise everyday(hard exercise, not doing squats with water bottles and all that bullshit), but being asked if I need a bra, or having someone pull their jumper out so they can impersonate me is actually really saddening, and if you think that abuse is alright then we have a problem. And if you hate my mother for the eating habits she has,you're going to be the one who ends up draining the NHS.
