    Lolz Looks like there is already a rediculous amount down out there...
  2. Leave the computer and just go do it.
  3. Last time I rode bristoI with Martyn he was trying to teach me. I just about managed one to two wheels. He was busting it out perfect every time with some variations too. Was one of those surreal moments you get by being star struck by a friend.

    If you truly believe an apology is going to change anything, you are mental. Unless there is a serious penalty imposed by either the fia or Mercedes I see a massive incident next time they are close on track.

    Wolff has now backtracked so the fia don't take action and merc lose points
  7. Is trials boring? I think the current comp format has become very stale. The courses are all pretty dull looking, and the riding required to win seems to have been locked in with a few techniques being standard for all obstacles. The bikes have become so far from something you could just nip to the shops on, it's totally unrelatable. It also doesn't help when the world champ puts up videos like this Which was the first video in my search. Not exactly inspiring! Couple that to to the Coust notts(?) vid, and it certainly looks like a backward step On the street front things are more interesting, but the DM copy cats that are flooding "street trials" seem to miss the fact that the base of Danny's riding is an epic pure trials ability. And some of those videos are equally dull. Personally my favourite moments in trials have come from people on 26" bikes riding over unexpected obstacles in a stylish way (or the other way around!). Parts of crux at the beach, akrigg on the barca blocks, lenosky, Martyn in chainspotting, Kenny at some of the old World Cup comps. Then you have trials kings, boon, Porter, Goddard, Phil Williams, tunni, cls, Ali C and a long list of others who have pushed things along in riding innovation and capturing occasional perfection on film. They all made trials look incredible. It still happens, but it's rarer it seems. The completely polarised bike choice doesn't help, but there needs to be a change to the top level comp scene before this will ever change. Meh I don't know where I'm going with this and Jedi is on...
  8. Genuinely, this. I got this signed a long time before I joined Martyn's team. It just reminds me of 15years of incredible bike riding memories! Sorry for rotation fail...
  9. Take the cash for the s3 - Porsche >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> golf
  10. Modern technique: shout "BOX", then ignore everyone else and push off on your super awesome scooter into the park and aim for any object you like, even though it probably isn't a box. Land on your feet (or head), then loiter in the way until you feel ready to repeat. Feel and look awesome.
  11. Start small build up. Fear is part of the experience!
  12. I always wondered about chopped springs. Aren't they going to sit funny in their mounts? And I also wondered if any car springs were wound progressively ?
  13. I don't get it, you can now? If you turned up to your office in a dress similar to a female member of staff I doubt there would be anything anyone could do about it.

    The mclaren weather system...
  15. A racing series on those would be hilarious.
  16. Funny, your ghetto rig possibly cost as much as a dslr.
  17. don't bother with a 4k tv. 4k projector on a huge wall maybe though.... just some tannoy V1's and a wee onkyo networked mini for music, and a cheap onkyo 5.1 with cambridge audio satellites/sub for the tv/film machine. sounds good enough vs dollar spent.
  18. As previous thread, first person to post THAT giant wins.

    World Cup 2014

    gotta love Uruguay laying into everyone who isn't Suarez in defence. Also his excuse is - meh these things happen in football sometimes. Yeah, to you, you racist, biting, cheating b*****d. LIFE BAN FROM ENGLISH FOOTBALL / ENGLAND
  21. Ultimate levers are disappointing. Having said that - anyone who wats to swap a rh ultimate for a rh xtr .....
  22. I also didn't get it. Why?
  23. Wouldn't go with the parallel push - pretty sure they develop play. Xtr lever Ultimate arms Good cable.
  24. This. So has it not arrived at the other end and no sign of a sorry you were out card? and is the recipient friend or foe. If friend you can get them to go into the delivery office and ask very nicely if they can check for it. If foe - you are f**ked.
