So at least trials isn't dead! It's funny how it's changed though.

It’s crazy because I personally saw trials as the first “internet” sport. Virtually everyone who rode was on here and there was a sense of comuinity. Big rides all over the country got arranged and everyone seemed to get on “in person” haha I know I ruffled plenty of feathers online but I was never met with hostility on actual rides and I’d like to say I was never nasty to anyone too!

What’s happened to trials? This sport has done so much for me. I’ve had amazing times made life long friends and learnt countless new skills on and off the bike. i just wanted to see what people had to say about trials. Is it still popular? Has social media spread it too thin? This was the place to go back in the day with hundreds of memebers online daily and so much to talk about. It just seems to be really quiet here now.

I'm thinking of flying to Mars and setting up a colony who's up for it?

It's easy to see where your chain is joined! haha

I saw Phil Williams do a decent sized drop gap at Lee Quarry with these spokes in his back wheel and his hub touched the rock he was landing on haha. His wheel completely folded. Not one spoke snapped which I thought was pretty weird. I wouldn't recommend them for trials personally.

Anyone fancy it? Me and Flipp are riding (weather permitting) Probably meet at the docks by the wakeboard place about 11-12ish?

Beauty! Ali C is a Super Stud.

Just seen this on Facebook. Got pretty emotional :'(

Bisping Belfort happened!

Old school excellence! I really enjoyed that, it reminded me of being young and excited to ride every day.

Why not just stick with the magura?

Even back in the old days it wasn't often V brakes ripped off frames. I think its a pretty tried and tested design.

That looks rough as arse holes! Dodgy looking welds, crappy paint job. How much did you pay for that frame?

LED's are mega bright but the beam of light is much more focused. There's hardly any spread from them at all. A single 150Watt bulb hanging from a pendant would brighten the place up a lot in my opinion.

Great video! I had such a good weekend. I can't wait for the next one!

Matt Brown is one of my favourite fighters! He's never in a boring fight!

Those gaps on the racking scared the shit out of me! Some beasty riding!

Pro! Your ups to front always freak me out though haha.

I can see why you did it and I'm sure you and everyone that knew about it had a great laugh about it all. I found some of it quite funny and it was a good effort to be fair.

And black logos on the FSA headset. DFS Dave does not mess about when it comes to details!

The only thing I'd change for next year is not letting Cap have any of my Jack Daniels hahaha.

Oh yeah! I've never been able to ride but I can stand round talk like a f**king pro! I'm excited now!

There's songs I probably should be ashamed of but I actually don't give a shit. I'm not a music snob that only likes a certain type of music. I like anything I like the sound of. At the moment I love Miley Cyrus' new song and I like The Wanted haha.

I'm with you there. I'm pretty sure the tolerances for headset/fork/stem set ups don't have to be too tight! Another alternative is you could shave off 1mm off the top of your headtube, or 1mm off the bottom of your stem. or 0.5mm of the top and bottom of your headtube, or 0.25 off the bottom headset cup, 0.25 off the bottom of the steerer, 0.25mm off the top of your headset cup and 0.25 off the top of your headtube! Saying that though you'd effect your riding position by 1mm and that could be a total nightmare!!!!!!
