  2. Wasn't there a post on here about 2 days ago asking about slick cables? Damn it, it's all the way on page 2! http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....howtopic=110282
  3. Yeah I get where you're coming from, and it is common knowledge that Christmas is the celebration of Jesus' birth, but when I say and get a reply such as it's a bit rude not to apologise. Also saying this and then not coming in to apologise for the error, or to attempt to stand his ground, which is what most people do in an argument. It's not common knowledge, it's a common misconception. I guess he just doesn't want to swallow his pride and apologise for being wrong. (Edited because of excessive line breaks) PLUS, it's my thread and I'm allowed to be an idiot in it... at least, that's what a lot of people do, so I assumed that was okay?
  4. Okay cool, I don't suppose you have any idea of price? April sounds good to me as my last student loan payment is in May
  5. I don't wish to bring negativity to this post but it seems to me like the "UK National Championship" isn't actually National at all, it seems to just be set pretty much in the northern part of England. I'd love to go to a date to spectate, but April/May is when my university degree work has to be in, and although I could take one weekend off to come and view a trial, it would be quite a lot of hassle for me, due to the fact that my other friends who ride and would be willing to drive live in my home town of Weston-super-Mare, so I'd much rather come to one of the later dates, especially the final, as I imagine thats when some of the most competitive riding happens. But when these are the locations of the so called National championship, I don't think I'll be able to come to any. Please excuse me if any of the arrows are in the wrong place, I used google maps as best as I could but I thought they looked alright to me. Now I live in Weston-super-Mare, near Bristol, so the closest date to me I would imagine is Hook Woods, as I've said before, because of university and other reasons, I wouldn't be able to come along to it. The last date, Shipley Glen, is at least 4 hours drive from me, and to be honest thats a bit too far for me to come just to watch a ride. If I did wish to attend a trial, to spectate, or maybe to ride, it would be at least a 4 hour drive there and back, excluding Hook Woods which is only 2.5, so that would lead me to believe it would be easier to stay in a B&B or something similar to make sure I get a good nights rest for the competition in the morning, so that would mean travelling up the night before, staying in the B&B, watching/competing, then either driving home in the evening, or staying another night and driving home in the morning, to prevent the chances of falling asleep at the wheel due to tiredness, or something similar. However if I had to work on the weekend, which many people my age do as it's their only source of income, this would probably be impossible. I would also have to take into account the fact I'm losing two days of work, which is the only money I earn, to come up to this trial. Plus the cost of petrol and staying in a B&B, it makes it very expensive considering I have lost 2 days of income. I'm unsure of the running times of a trial but say its 10am-4pm, if I wanted to arrive at the start of the trial and not stay overnight, I would have to leave my house at 6am at the latest, and I would then get home at 8pm at the earliest, this seems a bit unfair to me, as I would definitely not be at the peak of my riding having been up for at least 4 hours before the start of the trial, unless I slept uncomfortably in a car, and I don't see that happening to be honest. As I said I don't wish to bring negativity to the post but it seems to me unless I live in West Yorkshire, I won't be able to attend any of the dates. Maybe you should consider competitors who live in the South of England when planning your National Championship. Another thing, I thought the UK comprised of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, I understand why you might not want an event in NI, purely because of travel and costs and things like that, but thats no excuse to completely ignore Wales. Porthcawl has this huge reputation as far as I'm aware of being an awesome place to ride, and I'm sure there are places all around the coast of Wales, and in mid wales, that have excellent opportunity for natural, yet you completely ignore that area of the United Kingdom. I don't know if I'm the only person to ever bring this to your attention, but there are actually trials riders all over the country, not just in Yorkshire. I apologise if it's incoherent or hard to read, but I would appreciate if you could read anyway to understand my point.
  6. I thought this part of the reply was obviously aimed at you... Joe, any idea when the new mod frames you spoke about will be released, I'm looking to buy a new frame in the new year but I don't wanna rush into a decision and then regret it if you come out with a superior product.

  12. Hmm... "According to the best information I can find, Jesus was born on the 14th of May in 6 BC. Therefore His 2,000 birthday was on 14 May 1995. Regardless of which date you choose for the birthday of Jesus it was not on December 25th or January 6th and God never intended that it would be observed and celebrated. " Google + Jesus Birthday = http://www.abetterhope.com/hope/birthday.html EDIT: 2nd result "JESUS' REAL BIRTHDAY. Most biblical scholars and preachers readily admit that they know Christ was not born on December 25th" It's the birth of Jesus we celebrate, it's not his birthday.
  13. I thought Jesus wasn't even born in Christmas day?
