    Haha, I guess he'd get the most stoned award, yeah.

    Doing it every minute though is really hard to do even though it seems dead easy. You get drunk before you know it.

    Ash - I'm sure you can if you just lean back loads into a manual and then hop out of that. It's not impossible but it'd be a pointless thing to try and do and certainly doesn't help this guy. If you've got forks, you might as well use them to your advantage slightly - although use them to start your jump, don't rely on them completely.
  4. I don't get the point in room inspections. What are they for? I never had them, and my bike went under my bed

    Tf Awards

    Why does it have to be "sexiest female"? Why not funniest female member or best female rider? Pairs? Either way, quite impressive.

    That one was pretty bad
  7. Woo, united win. Kinda funny that Anelka lost it for Chelsea
  8. I can see Chelsea grabbing a winner.

    Tf Awards

    I'm going to edit all the posts until the truth comes out Resistance is futile I tell you.
  10. Tom has said that he's cool with people starting up new businesses via TF. If a company becomes big, they can pay for advertising banners. So it helps everyone in the long run (users, the company, and TF who stand to get advertising revenue). Look at the current banners - Heatsink, Inspired, Trials-UK, Tarty etc - None of those guys would be around if it wasn't for trials-forum, and now they pay the server bills Whether or not this particular business will make any money is another matter. Good luck with that.

    Tf Awards

    Well according to the member list, members 1 and 2 are Danny and Tom, and there isn't a member 3 (space reserved for future?). 4 and 5 are Munki and Sameer (but they're not on here any more), and next up is Grantham who does still post. But that's only since the last proper server crash - TF was around before that but I don't know who was on it first. We need a history lesson from Tom or Danny

    It sounds like you don't need to worry unless you're gonna exceed that £1700 limit - and it doesn't sound like you will. It'll just be an automated email just so if you HAD just started a business you'd be aware of the rules. Don't worry about it.

    Onza T-pro

    I guess because some (stupid) people will just click buy and pay without even reading it, then moan when it doesn't arrive.
  14. My imaginary TF bet is United 1-0. P.S. Is it on normal tele? Time?

    Injury Advice

    Rest it I think I know what you mean - most people have had that at some point riding trials? Particularly in the first year or so. How long have you been riding? Pretty sure it's just a tweaked muscle in your back and there's not a whole lot you can do. Painkillers (Ibuprofen) will help in the short term but probably aren't a great idea in the long-run. You can try adjusting your bar/stem position too.

    Like I said in the other thread somewhere - it's not about manualling and crouching, then jumping. It's about throwing all your weight upwards, taking first the front wheel with you, then the rear wheel. "Move your weight and the bike will follow" as someone used to say (JJ Gregorowicz I think).
  17. Ah, it all makes sense. Cheers Dave
  18. I'm pretty sure you won't have a leg to stand on I'm afraid. Landlords are bastards like that. Plus if they've already paid for a cleaner they're going to be reluctant to give you the money back. In my experience you always lose a few quid from deposits - a ball ache but that's how it is. Good luck with Citizens' Advice though.
  19. Totally. I remember when everyone started to learn taps 4-5 years ago, and TRA was basically the only person actually properly jumping at the same time as tapping. And he was getting 6" over what everyone else was doing.
  20. Vince was running a slick on the front the other day: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....howtopic=119366 Pretty mental. But like people have said, it probably depends on the conditions (I'd like to see Hermance session Buthiers in the rain with slicks on...).

    I remember seeing the trailer for this 3-4 years ago, was very impressive. But I've never seen that, so thanks for posting. Stupidly good section, amazing skills.
  22. Two things I thought of after looking at Dave Marshall's ride: 1) That grey rim around the back of the seat - could that be black? Or white even?! I think that would look better. 2) There's a bit of a lump in the middle of the seat where that logo is (not the Inspired one, the other one). P.S. What is that logo?
  23. Haha, there are no half measures here, are there? Sweet ride. Good to see he's riding again
