  1. You'll better off riding Poole, if your gonna be riding in the day. Then Bournemouth in the evening. I'm home sunday, but not too sure what I'm doing, maybe come out.
  2. Plymouth is an amazing place to ride. Whats the dates people are looking at. I'm all up for atleast 1 day, depending on when this ride is gonna happen.
  3. Loving the riding from all in that video. Dan you didn't seem to want to stop, you look like you were constantly flowing. Well done
  4. I'm trying my best, it got dirty today during a demo ride's nice though, pretty sweet alround.
  5. No, the red is a slightly faded shade, like cranks, so won't reduce my height. What the hell you on about, "How regal is your dining table?????" Not a clue what that's supposed to mean Mitch
  6. OH MY F****** GOD! Thats how you make a great video!!!! Where the hell did all that come from? We gotta stop riding together, seriously! I think you've picked all this up since you've been with nbr and trials-uk. Combination of the two, has produced thus. Nice one Rich, seriously sick.
  7. My gf uses nail polish remover, works a treat, and certainly cheaper than petrol, and is obtainable in most households.
  8. Brings back so many memories. I had forgotten about my bail in that 4th one. I loved that Leeson, good 'ol 1010 wheel base. Look at Rowlands skillz then, adn saunder's. Miles ahead of the game Fred doesn't look any older now than he did in that video
  9. The forks don't feel bent, though it would explain the bike being an 1100 wheel base, lol. never mind. I love low front ends and stems that are around 100-120mm in length, perfect for taps and hooks. I'm thinking about riding Bmth with Nathan this thursday evening, as it's the only time I'm free this week. Cheer's for the positive comments guy's.
  10. I find the best way to remove stickers is my girlfriend.
  11. Yes I've gone and got another new bike, I'm probably well in to my 20's now for the amount of bikes I've owned. Still think I'm ahead of you Andy, lol. Here she is: Spec: Frame: ZHI Z1 Forks: Echo Urbans Bar/stem: Zoo Headset: Cane Creek S2 Wheels: Both Try all rims on pro 2 hubs Front brake: Hope mono trial 180 Rear brake: Magura HS33 Cranks: Echo CNC BB: SKF BFR-300 Pedals: Try all double cage Tyres: Try all Bashring: 74 kingz Brake booster: 74 kingz Tensioner: 74 kingz

    Beau

    I've just heard about this, and like alot of rider's found it hard to believe. I met him on a ride a few years ago in Bristol. A very talented rider, with very little fear. Real nice guy, such a shame that this has happened. RIP Beau
  13. Would love too, but gotta spend the day with the gf. Shame Pat, would be a laugh to ride street with you instead of just demo's. Nevermind
  14. Will see if I'm available Dave, ifso should be able to attend. Will call you to enter.
  15. + 1 Nath, your natural riding ability is so much better than that. I'm sure you could have found a better spot to have filmed at. Thought the song wasn't that bad.
  16. Found this on the Goodwood Festival of Speed site. Dougie ripping it up!!
  17. I should be there Rich, coming with Andy G. Never ridden here before but looks phat.
  18. The idea of calling it TUK has no relation to the manouver when you sidehop. It relates to the sport as in Trials UK. But BTUK ( Bike Trials UK) is much better.
  19. Nice pics. It was a great day, loads to ride. Thanks to Dave and his wife (sorry I've forgotten your name) for putting me up on saturday night. Thanks to Dave and Stuart and everyone that helped organise and build the sections. I really enjoyed myself, and look forward to seeing the locals at some of the EBTC comps in the future.
  20. No not yet, been looking at hostels in London, but no luck Would try a hotel , but there doesn't seem to be much in Brentwood. Plus I have my bike with me, which makes it awkward.
  21. Anyone know what time this event starts, or what time things are gonna start getting built? I've tried ringing Stuart but has gone straight to answer phone, so I'm gonna try him again tomorrow.
  22. Cheers Dave I'l give a call in a bit. If I can ride, Is there anyone that might be able to put me up for the night on saturday? I'm gonna be in Kent tomorrow, so it's alot easier and cheaper to get to essex from there than bournemouth, would really appreaciate it. Cheers Nick
  23. Hey buddy, so this is what you've been upto. Was wandering why you've been quiet, lol. I think it's a great idea Ian, fair play to you. I think this would be really good for rider's of all levels. It would be a good read, but could also inspire rider's that have just started, aswell as old timer's such as yourself and others. Unless you can get rider's to send in media coverage of different places to ride, I don't think that would work to well, as it would be alot of hassle for yourself, though it would be a really good feature. It would allow people to see what places are like to ride, and if its appropriate for them without having to go there. Other than, I'd say the usual stuff, comp info/results, big organised events (DJ ride). If possible, what about a product review 9 maybe reviews from rider's testing new products), or new products info for upcoming products shortly due out. In all honesty, I would think laying out alot similar to mbuk, but just trials orientated. Just because if your anything but a trials rider MBUK is probably the best mag out for that, with reviews, product info, different ride locations. Just a few suggestions there for you mate.
  24. Any chance of being able to ride in the demo? May come along ifso.
