  1. echo hi-fi forks are lovely, goin strong for over a year now, and the disc tab is 9mm thick so u have no probs there can spot face perfectly and its super stiff. but i though you made your own forks/frames/wheels/pads/stories up about breaking things and sueing places? maybe im wrong????
  2. have to say i would not hurdle any of them no emo's in my town too many pregnant chavs, think i might move
  3. provided they have been serviced once a year for their life they will still be warrantied i think. get in touch with mojo suspension they are the fox service centre for the uk call them on 01633 601290 or email info@mojo.co.uk they will be delivered next day usually, or send ur forks back and they'll sort it for you. lower legs will cost you over £100 if they arent warranty as they are £92.50 trade. hope this helps
  4. obvious really nice machined one piece caliper very neat IMO slightly untidy IMO cables and various forged bits and dials on avid caliper see where im coming from?
  5. put some hope discs on it, neaten it up a bit (oh and they work better - this is in brackets so as not to spark some stupid arguement of hope v avid each to their own etc etc etc get off your high horse) massive rear disc too
  6. ali u fat mess i always wondered who did that, now when i walk to town from work i will know who to blame!! but come on its lancashire county council it'll be bent for the next 84 years
  7. that gap to rail outside tesco looks rather smooth josh but it does kinda look like u just back wheeled it, shame though. im particularly liking the foot plant photo for 3 reasons 1) clean as u like and rolled away 2) you managed it with stupid horrible try-all bars 3) amazing skills of the photographer
  8. quality benji! gotta love the bails. great to see you got some riding done over in sunny spain. nice edditing in the vid too, and random foreign english thrown in for good measure, i thought you went there to speak spanish! great stuff ben, shame the weather ruined this wkend's plan but i will see you in sheffield. keep it up and see you soon
  9. i've seen this guy out riding a few times in sheffield he is a very good park rider and a sound lad too, i always told him to wear a helmet (mainly to cover up his hair) but he said he never falls on his head! tough break i know for a fact helmets dont always stop you smashing your face in badly, my false teeth prove that think it stopped me fracturing my skull though and deflected blow onto my chin. how to take care of someone like that, its about 7 years since i did my bronze medallion and passed first aid bit so things have changed support his head, with a jumper or somert, dont move them too much but ensure he wont choke on his blood. try to stem the bloody flow by applying pressure around the wound (not sure if that would work on the head though if blood loss is severe or the person is goin into shock lift legs to let blood flow to vital organs. hope to god im not in a position where i have to do this for one of my mates!!!
  10. nope first person to do 360 backflip was brian deegan - best trick x games 9/10 i think, nicknamed the mulisha twist after his group the metal mulisha
  11. went to see a doc last night. he said i should really get some physio on it to reduce the swelling caused by the build up of blood, but i would have too long a wait unless i go privately, so i'll just rub it myself!! just an update for the concerned few
  12. didnt know where best to put this but i was quite impressed at the level of internal bleeding on this one (read as BIG bruise) hopping along a log nothing difficult, and i had a momentary lapse of concentration, hopped to the side and slipped off the log landing on the cut off edge squarely on my thigh. worst part of it was it happened right in front of the local chav wenches, who needless to say found it rather amusing. ten minutes of lying on the ground and i tried to walk/ride it off, couldnt so i drove home and felt sorry for myself. nearly a week since i did it and im still nursing a bit of a dead leg, couldnt walk the day after. this pic was taken on thursday after falling on tuesday, now the bruise seems bigger and expanding down me calf, not bad hey?
  13. awesome riding there, loved it. jim you should include more of yourself riding, get in front of the camera the video has made me want to ride, which is not a good thing when im severely battered right now, but what the hell! editting in places was a bit off but i think the techniques you used (ben) were very clever in places and worked really well. still you've made yet another cracking vid lads, hope your gettin some filming done in this rather unusal weather. nice one!
  14. demo's are great just dont fall off and knock ur teeth out like i did during one of mine! just commentate for other riders now nice set up u got there, rough and ready showing anything can be ridden on
  15. to quote homer simpson "sweet merciful crap!" that was unbelievable nothi9ng ive seen comes close to that, think i'll be buying me easrther 3 then sometime soon!!! tree line at shipley, stupid!
  16. steve, spd's scare me far too much, think i'll be sticking to flats for a while yet. you do lose pedalling efficiency but i've never been one to do things the easy way. i like the fact i can just bail when things get a bit sketchy, which is far too frequently for me and guess i'm used to flats from my trials bike. maybe i'll go full jeyboy one of these days
  17. couple of bikes for you here, nowt special.

  18. boring do a search get a pro2t
  19. thats one of the best videos i've seen in ages, amazing style and well editted, liked it a lot especially the line at the end!
  20. thanks for the comments guys please keep em coming jim, would be good to ride with you and ben again we will have to sort something out, can't believe ur tempted to ride rocks!! i think its difficult putting natural and street together, natural is much slower and longer clips than then pull trick land of street riding so much variety, glad people are enjoying it cheers
  21. agree with the better camera angles comment and perhaps song choice need another vid out soon, riding style is so refreshing. bunny hop over the waterfall pond thing, mental, loved it. so much variety in the video but it was difficult to appreciate just how good your riding is. i think we need an encore!!! probs see you at the glen sometime over the summer
  22. hi folks, been in sheffield now for 3 years and aside from gettin a degree i've managed a bit of riding. this video was filmed post exams (so no worries about breaking wrists) and pre last day drunken frollics!! as you know me and woody arent the of the TGS school of riding, so video has a bit of a different feel to it. natural sections and street lines mixed together to give an idea of the vareity of riding we like to do. and of course theres a nice selection of mishaps (bollards = exceptionally painful). comments always welcome, good or bad, i do intend to get a video editting programme that works better when i can afford. it ended up being two vids in one, but i think there is something for everyone, woody especially nailing some nice lines, and i add the comedy value! let me know what you think, and auf wiedersehen sheffield! last days of uni ps dont worry ben we'll be back next year (the last two clips just for you, wasnt the same without you mate!)
  23. photographic evidence that the world wide ban on whaling is being broken
  24. check the spelling of his name akrigg section is amazing, im tryin to do things with flow now, so much more difficult. is that section on the reservoir banks on road between cross hills and colne?
  25. good riding, throughout, hemmingway is mental one thing i was worried about was martin hawyes name in the credits, or is that just me
