Evening!
Aside from this being a rather awesome video, can anyone lend any tips on how to do the trick of rotating the bike around the headtube, whilst you balance on the front wheel? There's a perfect example at 2:40 ...

It's such a cool move! I'm not expecting to be able to multiple spins, but I'd love to have just one dialled by the end of this Summer!
Cheers!

Perhaps, but I certainly wouldn't ... My mate mentioned that he really liked this t-shirt, but I can't find it on sale anywhere. I'm thinking it would make a pretty good Christmas present! Otherwise, I'm not bothered about anything else DM wears

Afternoon all!
Super quick question ... Does anyone know where I can buy the 'Balanced' t-shirt that Danny MacAskill wears in his new film 'Imaginate'? I've attached a screenshot, just in case you haven't seen it yet!
Cheers!

Awesome! Thanks for the advice and thanks to Adam @ TartyBikes for the additional information ... I've ordered some Gusset tugs from TB and I'll set about sorting the axle bolts as soon as the tugs arrive
Now the weather is improving, I just want to get out and ride ... and improve my very limited skills!

My first post here!
As a bit of background, mountain biking used to be my life. I regularly rode cross country, downhill and a bit of street every now and again with a couple of mates. Unfortunately as I entered my twenties, other things in life took precedence and my bikes remained tucked up in the garage ... until now!A mate and I have decided to get fit again and we've rediscovered mountain biking ... I had forgotten how addictive it is! Anyway, he has been busy upgrading his ride and as he rides mainly trials/street, I thought I'd invest in an Onza Zoot. It's a lot lighter than my 24 Le Toy III, is chuckable and has 24" rims, which I prefer
Now I'm not the lightest of people, weighing in at 16 stone, albeit I'm hoping to lose quite a bit by riding. However I noticed that whilst out on one ride, the rear wheel slipped in the horizontal drops out, making the chain rather slack. Long story short, I fixed it ready for the next ride. During the next ride, when I went to pedal it slipped again, although this time causing some damage ...
Has anyone seen this or done similar themselves? Is it something I've done wrong, or am I just too heavy?
My mate and I are thinking of making up some aluminium plates and drilling them into the drop out area, effectively making a fixed drop out, similar to my unmodified 24 below ... Should do the trick! 
Anyway, I'll check out the rest of these boards soon ... I'm starting out with trials and can do a few basic tricks n' stuff, although wheelie hopping still evades me!
Cheers!
Chris
