  1. lol definitely wear one if the gf says so, im surprised mine was still with me after i dinged me face and lost some teeth (granted helmet did nothing for that)
  2. some pretty sweet riding there, big side hops and some nice sections. 3:21 awesome bin gap! have to say the music did suck, but thats my opinion. camera angles were good, but as u said in the vid ur cam isnt the best quality. final point and i do make this a lot is wear a helmet, there are times when there is a lid in shot eg 1:49. wear it!! no matter how good u are it only takes one little slip, or a topping stone to come off and off u go to hospital! anyway, considering uve been riding not too long uve progressed a fair bit. keep it up. :turned:
  3. know exactly what u mean, i used to be able to do over handlebar height on my zero but have only just got back to that level on me 26ghz after a year of trying, dunno how high that is, im thinking of using spds to keep my flippin feet on (this is a joke for those who may think im serious)
  4. younger riders get better quicker if you ask me, im 21 now and really am slowly progressing trials. anyway the vid, good riding, a bit samey, and terrible song, but then again music taste varies, i am a bit past it now a days
  5. that wall manual was crazy!! some good riding there too, also it was good to see clips of those guys in your group who are just starting out, itll give them confidence. music was a bit dodgy but spice girls did make me laugh (Y)
  6. before i start this is slightly (Y) but it made me laugh/burn with anger at the same time. yesterday as a break from essay writing and revision i went out on the street infront of my house sidehopping up my front wall, gapping to the curbs etc when a police car pulled up and said "should you be doing that??" i explained that i was only riding on my house wall and the curbs not on anyone elses property. they went on to say that they had complaints about the noise, which i can only assume was my brake (plaz pads on a fresh grind - mmmmm nice noise). so i said ok fair enough, nothing i can do about that but if someone had have come out and told me they were being irritated i would have stopped. i told them i thought it was a waste of resources sending a car out for this. here comes the funny bit, they said it was a quiet time of the day and, in not such simple terms, that they had nothing better to do. i had two bikes stolen last year, they could go look for them!! rant over :)
  7. apparently, but please dont quote me on this, but some bloke i work with is into all the cruise malarky and so thinks he knows the all the traffic laws. anyway, he says if u get issued with a producer thingy get straight to the police station before they have chance to hand in their own report, this allegedly, causes them all kinds paperwork problems dont know if this is actually true as ive never been pulled, but if some one gets the chance to test it out let me know (Y)
  8. oh dear oh dear, at least they arent into happy slapping :S
  9. flipping heck what is the world coming to?!?! found this the other day sucker punch looks like the US to me i think (dunno though) so sad, but filmin it really does prove how stupid they are, if they get caught its not really leaving much of an excuse now is it? dumbasses. its like tamagotchis though, theyll get bored of it soon i hope!
  10. dont reckon its photoshop just a common place to miss the fake tan! living with 4 girls u learn these things :)"
  11. proper street stylee, me likes a lot everytime i see one of these type of vids of smoth 24" riding makes me wanna swap me 26ghz. (N)
  12. for £40 u can have my full XTR set up with cable, good condition good pad life left, let me know if ur interested and i can sort out pics
  13. sweet! that was pretty huge and a metre cubed of water weighs a tonne, which is about the same as a car
  14. liking all the bikes, the leeson is so sweet and ive got a thing for steel bikes! the vinco looks so strange, how long did it take kev to get used to the geometry??
  15. right ive been trying this for a while and cant seem to get it done, also im not very good at explaining the move so ive included a video link here if u want to have a see where im goin wrong for those who havent seen the vid im riding up to curb perpendicular to it, 180 spin to back wheel and then attempting to spin another 180 up the curb, so making it a full 360 spin. if anyone can see/has any tips on how to do this that would be great cheers
  16. good riding and a quality song, reminds me of the old trialskings sheffield video. but seriously though where's the helmet? some big stuff goin on there if u screw it up its goin to hurt! Edit: see uve got it on most of the time, :("
  17. 20:16 was on 22:16 until friday so i guess its the same as 22:18 now???
  18. no point really if u ask me, THE (i think) made one mainly for use on DH bikes and it never took off. as for trials protection its not going to be worth it, i run a front disc, yes i have landed on it, but very rarely. plus they are easy to straighten just get a big adjustable an bend it back its either sidehop left and bend ur rotor, or sidehop right and smash ur mech
  19. probs when i was 17 attempting to ride proper trials, so ive been attempting to ride for 41/2 yrs now wouldnt guess seeing me ride lol
  20. great vids, the sound track on both of them (i downloaded the painted vid too) was excellent any way jim_26twenty if u want to download my vid (topic in this section) there is some sections with woody in, thought u might be interested
  21. ive got it, so if all else fails i could be last resort lol
