maybe because its clips reshot or reused from a fantastic video, that seem pretty poor quality, with animations plastered all over them for no real reason, for an advert ?

evolve spot....

Or real world where you don't wash your car every day, or even every week?

Or do a bunnyhop? (Sayywhaaaa......)

Yeah I get that, but for me - it's what riding is about.

Word

I haven't watched them all yet, but the Aaron Browne vid is my favourite of all by some way so far. Just a great watch, great style, good riding and simple edit. Loved it. Congrats to all who entered and made vids - good effort.

If trials events were set differently then bikes with seats would still exist in the compy arena?

In a weird twist Gilles just added me on fb.

my new iPhone got replaced immediately - no waiting for another new one. Had a dust or something under the glass. Was lucky they had a gold one to replace from the genius bit - oos downstairs in the shop while I'm here the fingerprint scanner makes me happy every time i use it ! beautiful technology.

exactly...

ugh - having the van for two plus years not earning ncb and dissolving my old stuff means Im paying more than you for a 1.2 fabia... gay. Im old n shit - I should be paying tuppence and enjoying shaking my fist at you youngsters whilst wearing a flat cap, driving at 25 in a 50 zone.

I give it a month

You came to bristol and I missed out again So good.

Good work. As Dave says, if you contact your provider it's on them to help you find a way to keep afloat. Through dropping to interest only or payment holidays or whatever - they have to do everything they can to make it work for you.

Im gonna sound like a douchebag (especially as I know shit all about the situation ), but to me, the only reason he doesn't/didn't have a better option is because of the way he seems to conduct himself and the way he approaches his career/riding/media approach. He is immensely talented and a world champ, but he doesn't really seem to offer a potential big time sponsor anything. I guess its his choice.

hey Mark, would it be too rude to ask what sort of money you were looking for, and how long? Oh and when do you want to move? I have a few friends around here who may have a room to spare? Its also pretty f**kin handy for the motorway too ! with 3 manoeuvres I am in central london.... and not too bad for riding in to the centre, you wont get stabbed and probably not even robbed! I left my trials bike on the doorstep one night by accident and it wasnt nicked! In other news my new partner at work is f**kING RETARDED AAARRARHAHAHHRHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH (smash smash crash bang (throwing things in rage)) I may never have time to ride a bike again. It has been over a month and probably nearer to two since I last got out there. My life feels pretty empty without it.

I loved dannys first orange skye - probably the best 24 that Ive ridden, but then I love a low bb! Cant remember if Ive ridden the arcades in current form, Ive had a go on a couple of the different prototypes I think. They were nice too, but Id take a skye.

sell sell sell

ok so I forgot to update this. I went up to see him last week, ended up staying 2-8pm, just chatting, talking video, bikes, life, tv... he also gave me a little info on what happened and what the process is to rehab (wrong word probably, I just cant think of the right one) http://www.bikebiz.com/news/read/martyn-ashton-s-injuries-are-life-changing/015379 this seems to sum up the situation best. He is in a 6 week run of flat out bed rest where they are essentially evaluating the injury to the spine and i guess starting to heal the fractures. Then the physio stuff starts for another 6 weeks or so - I think the first goal is getting out of the hospital in time for christmas. Incredibly positive and keeping busy with RBP2 stuff as always. Once again - he is proving to be a massive inspiration for people wanting to send stuff to wish him well, he is staying at the RJ&AH Hospital, Oswestry, on the Wrekin ward.

I loved every bit of that.

Lol

totes emosh landing does not count but thats still pretty ballsy !

Im going up to see him on thursday...

Good point.
