  1. Good to see the edit up. Next year ill try to make it to the Manchester ride as well. That kid dropping off that ledge nose down at stoke is class should of heard the noise those forks were making!! He seemed quite happy with it though!
  2. Cheers lads. Will have a play with the booster tonight then may fit a new cable as well as I don't think it's always been as hard to pull. Suppose that's the advantage of disc brakes.
  3. cheers pal. It's ready for a new rim then really as the ground 1 has a couple of dents in it now so I'm guessing its getting pretty thin. Any idea if the TNN pads will work well with a smooth/new rim? Thanks.
  4. Hi all. Looking for some advice from more experienced riders than myself. I've got an inspired element with the standard rear vee brake an unknown make brake booster, TNN lgm green metal backed pads and a grind on the rim. The brake lever feels quite hard and there's pretty much no modulation with the brake it's either on or off. I'd like a bit of modulation on the brake really for manuals etc but still plenty of bite for hopping up on to a wall/rail etc. Has anybody any suggestions what I could try or change to make it less aggressive? Or is that just the nature of rim brakes? Thanks Ben.

    Ah so your the bearded lunatic who jumped off the shelter at stoke plaza! Did you ever make an edit from your 24tour? Nice video btw.
  6. Yh It's high but hardly worth crying about.
  7. Good video nice riding great landscapes. Where he catches the skateboard is cool. But I can't help but see the skateboard n think of Sean Watson. The vision of the kid growing up and riding is very much the same as Danny's imaginate in my eyes. The way I got in to trials is through seeing the april 2009 Danny mac video and I suppose I do try to ride like him and do alot of similar (but not quite as good) tricks! but if I was going to film a video especially as fabio is a team rider I'd try to do something slightly different. I did love the line where he knocks over the other picnic table. On the whole a great video.
  8. Cool little beginners bike! My lads 5 now and I'm looking forward to getting him on a trials bike soon. My mates got a Onza tee vee sat there doing nothing so maybe with a shorter stem on and some different bars it would do him. The Onza mini master is a cool little bike but a lot of money if he rarely uses it.
  9. Why not ride a bike with brakes but don't use them when u want to ride brake less?
  10. Can't find it on Facebook. Just keep us update on here if you can mate.
  11. Ha ha I've been eyeing up that wall on antrobus street every time I drive past.
  12. Being fairly new to the trials scene and the forum.. What's that video about? The story behind this video?
  13. Cool video. His ridings unbelievable.
  14. No ability to film or edit the video. Me and technology just don't get on. Ha ha.
  15. Would love to have a go at this. Got so many funny/creative lines, ideas and a sound track to go with it. I just have no ability to film or edit a video. Maybe next year ay?!
  16. Hello there. I'm the Ben that Dez refers to, I was off work for 13 weeks and off the bike for probably the same amount of time. It's near enough exactly a year from breaking my heel and it still aches now and again I don't think it'll ever be 100% to be honest. My mothers well into all the herbal medicine and cures, she got me some comfrey cream from the local natural and health shop and I'd say it helped a lot! when I went for my physio the guy was really surprised with the movement I had in it considering it was a Nasty break, I broke the part of my heal inside where it meets the leg bone (the ball joint part for ease of trying to explain) Hope everything heels up for you buddy I was so gutted when I broke mine I was supposed to of been going on holiday the following week but couldn't, couldn't go to work, drive, ride my bike or muck around playing football etc with my lad. So immobile with a leg injury! Hope everything goes well for you mate.
  17. ^^ lmao! Is there ever any real answers about this forum anywhere? lol
  18. Pretty much every zoot I've known of has snapped. Mine broke the where the top tube meets under the seat. Was a good little bike other than that happening.
