  1. but no, still havent found a reason that it moves. dont want to buy something just for something like this lol
  2. I’ve not been taken, but I feel like when I look at it, it looks back.
  3. i thought so, but the times are inconsistent.... happened again last night. was around 11. just came in from riding now, will report back tomorrow now im looking out for it.
  4. For the past few months, every day, without fail, hours after putting it there, my bike will roll forwards a couple centimetres. I’ll be in bed, it’s by my window- and sometime around 9/10pm, I’ll hear the very distinctive hope hub ratchet around 2/3 clicks. With no exceptions. It’s leant against my wall a different way every time, it’s been used that day at a different time each day, and yet it still does it. Genuinely freaks me out a little bit. Anyone ever have something similar?
  5. alex rides a jealousy, so id guess its the 12mm bolt through...
  6. I was going for a “the one that got away” vibe. Didn’t want to end up seeing people posting pictures of their own bikes, going “this was my dream bike, so I got one!”
  7. theres this rider who very, VERY occasionally rides with me who has one of these, with dual Vee brakes. id never seen one until then its cool
  8. i came onto the scene well after the boxx, but as simon would say, its a yes from me.
  9. I’m talking more about iconic bikes from videos that you desperately yearned for, despite the fact they could’ve been garbage, and also not the type of bike you’d ever want to ride, but something about them made you want to chuck your bike in the nearest bin and go get one. I’m expecting some oldies on here. top three for me I’d say: 1. Ali’s golden rim’d arcade. I’m not known to be the biggest ali fan, but the inspired arcade video this was in is one of my all time favourite videos, when it came out I had it on repeat.when I went to tartydays for the first time, this bike was also in the video from the year before and I would watch it all the time, all nervous to go meet real riders. 2: Flipp’s Marino from his welcome to tartybikes video and clean2. If I remember right, the geo was all wrong and it wasn’t particularly nice, but the welcome to tartybikes Video is the reason I went brakeless. 3: TRA’s Echo 24”, in particular with the short stem on it. f**k me he could throw that thing about. Made me want one so bad- still kinda do. funny how none of these are remotely similar to the style of bike I ended up sticking with (mostly)
  10. Thank you to whoever put that online.
  11. as above, i live in coventry centre so theres loads of street spots for me. some fairly random rocks littered about too
  12. found these going through the computer of things i filmed/were on my camera, felt like making a video. featuring Mistawong™ Zach, and myself. some good rides in here. (think matt held the camera for some of my clips) fun times. roll on 2019.
  13. Rode again after a weekend of not due to a broken bike. I was sitting in bed about two hours ago, wasted day, watched too many trials videos, and had to get out. Boy am I glad I did. Re-did some lines I haven’t done in yonks- And some new ones. In the dark. Was in complete send it mode. I really, really love it when that happens. Oh and the bike looks rad. Still slightly bitter about my disc brake dying on me though.
  14. its not obscene- its kriss kyle. we know what he's capable of, this video looks like he's holiding back, which puts a meh atmosphere on it..
  15. Flipp came down to ride the weekend gone, we rode Cov saturday and oxford sunday- couldnt be arsed lugging my camera around, so its just random phone clips 'twas a fun one. wasnt expecting the 20/30 turning up for the oxford stunts. shame we got kicked off pretty much everything. credit to John Shrewsbury for that rad second dropgap angle.
  16. i feel it needs white rims. looks good
  17. I found the key is constantly having a riding goal, no matter how good (or not) you may get- then everytime I see the bike I’m hyped to go try it
  18. Just walking into the shed and seeing my bike makes me tier 1 happy at the minute.
  19. been in and out of hospital over christmas. been able to ride since a couple days ago. waking up knowing i can ride my bike is making me f-ing hyped again. love it.
  20. Yes dude. Always good to hear, especially with ankles. That fear before the first ride is real.
