  1. Bang on there. Danny just has the funding to get into the public eye, whereas Ali doesn't which is a real shame.
  2. Yep. Ali is in my opinion a better, more stylish rider, but he hasn't been picked up by red bull (or any big sponsor) so can't make these massive videos that danny does, so is therefore lesser known.
  3. This video is wierdly emotional for a bike video Seeing Martyn ride was both awe inspiring and depressing. If he only recovers to a fraction of his full potential at least he can get out on a bike again, even if he isn't doing massive drop gaps to rails It's like Eddie Kidd all over again
  4. Is your oven big enough to fit the wheel in? I guess grinding is your only option, although it's a messy one so you need to be extra careful not to go too deep and muck up the hub threads, which might be difficult in a cloud of sparks
  5. I had the same problem a while ago, I used a blowtorch and then popped it in the vice while still hot and it came off without putting too much of a fight. The threads on the hub are okay too. If a blowtorch isn't available a grinder should be okay. Edit: When trying to get it off initially I couldn't get it off with me, my fairly beefy dad and our rather large, manly mechanic friend. We snapped a tooth on the sprocket, snapped two chains and bent a sprocket removal tool before we took the blowtorch to it.
  6. I agree that it is probably easier for people to learn that first, but I never did. I found it harder to roll than to hop. Personal preferance I guess, like a lot of things in trials.
  7. It's all timing. Start hopping then when on the floor (I.e. not in the air as it tends to end badly if you are, normally flicking the back up and going over the bars ) lower the front, quickly release the brake and give a small kick of the pedals, dominant foot forward. This will send you forward, then catch it with the back brake. Now you can bring the front down, back to two wheels and just do the single hop forwards (generally what happens when you are learning) or try to do another and chain them. Trying to go up and down the road, although amusing, is pointless. In comps you use power moves a lot so short burst kicks are the thing to practice and getting power in to your pedal kicks instead on trying to just hop aimlessly down the road is the thing to do in my opinion. Hope it helps, but I'm not much of a teacher as I'm nooby myself Edit: Actually, go to trash-zen. They do a better job explaining than I do
  8. Search for Ali C, Flipp, Fabio Wibmer, Sean Watson and Damon Watson. Sorted.
  9. Can't inhibit what you never had I'm surprised nobody said that before me
  10. I might be interested in a couple blacks and whites too
  11. I agree but people that are new to trials won't necessarily know that inspireds are bombproof and maybe couldn't afford to spend 800 odd pounds on a bike that their child might not use or give up on. I second a mini zoot. Much more affordable and a small child isn't going to snap a zoot.
  12. Why yes, I am the proud owner of a motorbike. I am only 14, as I seem to have said a lot lately, so I have no idea about the functionality of engines except for the basic "suck, squeeze, bang, blow" idea. All I could think of is something silly like having the choke on
  13. Yeah yeah, laugh it off, but your daddy is going down... be prepared
  14. You meanie! I'm gonna get my daddy to beat up your daddy
  15. Dang it. I'm 15 in a couple of months "I may be young, but I'm ready" would've been a good reply. That day I learnt something about girls; if they're wrong it is apparently you who's wrong.
  16. *me having a civilised conversation with my friend about genital warts* "oh my god you're so hench! Can I have your autograph? How old are you?" says random woman, about 69. "I'm 14" I replied, getting my muscles out. "WTF? How can you be so ripped at 14? I've been at the grocery store and my melons are so heavy, would you mind carrying them? ;)" Then I say "What a great offer but not today." She was so sad, her heavy melons drooping loosely around her knees. Okay, I know the resemblance between me and Johnny Depp is uncanny but I didn't expect to be hit on by a pensioner. It was wierd because I never get asked to touch ladies melons, EVER. I regret turning her offer down now. Oh how I miss Edna. Hopefully our paths will cross again one day and I can caress her beautiful melons. Happy now?
  17. Two of my friends have a Jotagas, on 300 and one 250. Being 14 I ride a 2011 beta evo 125 but I they've let me loose on their bikes and they are beautiful! At no point did I feel out of my depth, it was such controllable power.

  18. Using things I've made in GCSE engineering. All of my class are dumb-dumbs who can't draw an isometric cube, let alone get a GCSE, so my products generally look and work nice compared to their's and that makes me happy Fitting new bits/general tinkering with my bike, Fiddling with my multitool, Guessing the outcome of random events and thinking I'm a psychic ninja if I get it right, Sleeping on the cold side of my pillow.
  19. My God, Doctor who was amazing.
  20. I was thinking of doing that on my bike but I run a rear maggie so I'd have to let down my tyre each time I want to swap sprockets, then reinflate it which is more hassle than just having a low ratio.
  21. Dang it, you beat me to it. I'll post it anyway Roses are red, Violets are blue, Get in the f***ing van, Or I will axe-murder you.
  22. Swap the saddle off of the green one to the silver then get some black stackers instead of the current ones. That would look mint.
