I would say - get a stock, I cant think of any reason these days to start out on a mod (unless you are very young and couldnt handle a stock) I would look at the new Phase full bikes from MAD as they look pretty much perfect as a step into trials - good spec and geo for little money... RJ

PRO - NESS

I believe it is this ... easyweld just something my mate had lying around... he used it when he was fitting throttlebodies to his kit car .... if its totally innapropriate it doesnt really matter

N64 + mega drive = win

old skool Astra Morris minor - 52 = the most satisfying Volvo s40 1.6i skoda fabia estate - actually loads of fun fiat panda (new) 4x4 left hand drive some other old dodgy fiat diesel left hand drive = worst ever ... seat Ibiza Mini cooper (new) Freelander 306 - couple of years old corsa 1.9d dirty .... audi TT fastest....

there really are some sad twats out there ... who gives a shit if you have to wait afew months .... what a tosser who paid that much anyone who pays more than it would cost in march is a total deadhead in my view

Is the shell centre open again yet ?

yes .. it opened up abit before i did the welding ....

Im taking my bike and ill be at central at 10:30 am - riding only for a couple of hours (weather dependant) so Prolly best if you go bristol - as im really just testing out the hand / frame situation... RJ

Temporary desperation measure ... take 1 cooker, 1 blowtorch some ally and some weird weldy stuff = proper bodge ... originally the plan was to put plates both sides but we found it difficult to heat up the inside sufficiently ... If it breaks - never mind - but if it holds Ill be a happy man again .. It looks crap now as it needs to be tidied up with the angle grinder and a file ... but for now i need to ride

Tis working now ... I was too quick on the draw... Nice work ...

Repost but good ...

I dont want to change anyones plans - as Im not certain I can ride yet ... Ill know by about 9 tonight .... so i would say - If you are going to brissle then go to brissle ...

Probably gonna take my bike to cardiff on saturday .... just wondered if anyone was gonna be out riding there and if they wanted to show me the sights ? this isnt for definate - as it depends on me fixing the thing so if you are riding and wouldnt mind me meeting up with you can you pm me your number and ill ring you when i get in ? (around 10:30 /11 ) cheers RJ

ha that was funny

not sure what im supposed to be downloading ? trailer1 or the big long random stream of letters ? Im guessing the stream but does that mean its not finished uploading ?...

surely shrews stylee is new ? I mean its sort of come about due to the 24 " influence ? and thats pretty new - going big is as old as it gets - people have been trying to go higher since day one ... anyway out of the three its him... Damons a beast, but its too much for me.... dont like to think about the danger ... to be honest my ultimate rider for style / inventiveness / Pretty big moves = ASHTON.

hold on there is nought wrong with selectbikes ... theyve been good to james in the past too so why not ? anyway It would be nice to know why mr porter has left the team, but until then i dont think anyone can comment ? anyway - nice little cruiser ?

who was that ? its different some love it some hate it - To me it seems that most people look stupid riding them but some manage... I personally cant go near them .... bessels MBK feels ok (ish) but thats about it they are just for mod riders who want big wheels ....

best trials frame ever .... nice vid ... still got it ? haha

is that a benito replica ?

it sucks how much better bmx is to watch than trials...

nothing right now as i removed the skin off the palm of my right left hand .... silly billy... pain ....

I dont know where to put this or if im allowed to put this here but a while ago someone said something about adobe premier now coming with a plugin to remove camera shake from video .... Now I got hold of said tool and it turns out you need a new 64 bit processor to use it (and the new premier) so i thought it would be nice if you could do it on an older pc .... turns out there is an easy peasy extra for virtualdub .... here is the webpage for deshaker... and here is the link to a short clip that i used it on .. I used pretty much the standard settings - as it takes hardly any processing time - and the results are pretty good - it looks a little strange but hey ... i need to work out which setting work best for the type of clips i take .... videos - before and after RJ EDIT : I forgot to say that the sound is out of sync on the second one (due to using previous frames to get rid of borders ..)as i couldnt be arsed to correct it - its pretty easy though ... just put delay audio by 1200 ms in virtualdub before you do save as AVI

You stay in .... oh and you break easily ...
