    That was well done, nice length and focusing on the riding was a good move - this is the kind of video I think Jack Carthy should be making.

    Thanks dude :)

    I imagine the disc rotor issue is probably a big one - that's the main stumbling block for them being introduced in the roadie world more.  The UCI were going back and forth with making them illegal for use in road races because of the 'risk' of a rider falling in the peloton and somehow being sawn to pieces by some disc rotors.  

    In fairness to them they kind of do have a point in terms of rotors vs. pegs - I've fallen onto a BMX before and hit the peg and it wasn't really too bad, whereas I've seen photos of people who've just brushed their finger against a moving rotor and lost chunks of their finger.  I know it's super unlikely to happen and I don't agree with it (because realistically it's not like having a chainring is safe either if people are falling and sticking their fingers into things) but it's possible to see where they're coming from.

    Yh, I get that there is a risk especially with younger kids or new riders that there is chance they could crash and potentially cut themselves on a rotor. hopefully if the UCI make discs legal then maybe the skatepark will :).

    Doesn't seem to make any sense.

    Although, they could just be trying to keep MTB's and trials riders out.  We tend to go against the normal flow.

    They let MTB bikes in as long as they're single speed which I can see why. However if I rode brakeless theyd have no problem letting me in. 

  5. My local indoor skatepark (Transition Extreme, Aberdeen), doesn't allow bikes with disc brakes in for health and safety reasons. Every other indoor skatepark though in Scotland seems to have no problem with them. 

    I was wondering what the policy with local skateparks near you is, do they allow bikes with disc brakes in ? if they don't what reasons have they given you ?

    Any Trialtech ones and you're onto a wiener. What set up are you going for? 18t or 22t? A 22t cog on Isis could hit the frame. 

    Its fine ive got it sorted, I've changed the crankset, for one with a more suitable BB.

    Cheers anyway dude

    The Sony is growing on me, turns out my computer media player was at fault for the audio and once in the editor it sounds great, my phone connects to the camera too which is good, gives me a touch screen if I really need one but the actual manual button controls aren't as bad as I thought.

    I'm looking to see if I can find a small 3" hdmi screen to attach to my sony but I can't find any that small :( I'd like a screen with no lag ideally.

    Sony make this cool handheld grip, for some of its other action cams

    Unfortunately, I don't think its compatible with your model, but they might release an updated version in the future.

  8. Played the game for a few hours, now and once you get used to the controls, its an enjoyable little game. 

    Noticed on problem with the steering, sometimes when turning the bike, it has a tendency to move around without actually wanting to move. 

     

    Keep up the good work dude :)
