    No he doesn't Chris. Thats your bike. Fred is just talented enough to have good sessions on all bikes, with no disability.
  2. I truly hope your being sarcastic. Otherwise god help us all who come across a northern comedian. IF your north of the M4 i'm afraid your northern!! Sorry lads
  3. had to be a northern rider
  4. Hobbsie is a legend in his own right. You'd have to have ridden with him in the old days to understand, Ash gets what i mean.
  5. Southampton is a big no, with a huge ride, lol. Portsmouth is great for riding small or big. London doesn't get completly ridden only the known spots, but still overall london does get boring, just like bristol. NEED SOMEWHERE FRESH! Ideas?
  6. I love your huge power moves, always gets me up for riding. other than that, just a bit of everything, natural street, mod, stock and plenty of technical lines please Looking forward to it.
  7. yes i have Bongo, but in plymouth they dont use it very often, lol. Seriously though, i don't think he was being sarcastic.
  8. Do u know how far Plymouth is from the north west, its a proper mission for a day ride. It's a good 3 hrs from bournemouth for me, thats bad enough, given Birmingham is the same driving time. Hoew bout you go up north. The north is amazing to ride, they all a right laugh.
  9. he said NORTH WEST ISH PLYMOUTH is in the south west
  10. Hey adam, i know dave from warrington (forum name - davetrials) wants to ride tomorrow but knowone he knows is riding, maybe you could sort something with him.
  11. I said maybe, still unsure. thinking bout maybe going to kent and riding with the thinkbikes guys.
  12. currently run: Hayes MX2 160mm rotor Avid lever Performance: Extremely powerful. Normally run: Hope mono trial 160mm rotor Performance: Diabolical Soon to be running: Hope mono trial 180mm rotor Performance: perfect, not too powerful, but has enough bite.
  13. thats all good, just make sure none of the videos show any footage of materials being damaged, i.e: walls and benches. Council wont be impressed if they see a video with there property being damaged. They can't use it to do you for damage, but they still aint gonna wanna help you out. So just be careful with what you say and show them.
  14. Firstly, i suggest getting a petition going, that way you can show the council that there is huge interest in the idea, and that it would be worthwhile them building the park. Secondly, you need to show them that what we do is a world wide sport with its huge competition side and show them what it offers people. I.e: a hobby than kids/adults can get into, meet new people and generally create a good community within the sport. Thirdly, you'll need to find a good location that is out of the public eye so it doesn't give the council a bad image and is safe for the users to use. Fourthly, you'll need to come up with some ideas for funding, like getting local companies to sponsor the park, by supplying pallets and other obstacle that can be used, in return company banners could be put up. Maybe do demo's for the council to promote a park being built and therefore creating bigger interest for the local community. Good luck! We've tried it down here, aint got very far, but there's no harm in trying. Sooner or later the countries council's will realise they got to do something and will give in.
  15. Dave i work 5 days a week, uptil april i was going out with a girl from glasgow, so i had to juggle work riding and going up and seeing her as often as possible, that was hard, thats why we split. so now its just working 5 days a week and riding, my new gf comes round mine most the time so i aint gotta worry bout that, but in sept i too am going to college on a 2 yr course, so im gonna have to juggle that with a part time job and riding. It'll be worth it in the end, cos once ive finished my course im gonna move to glasgow and get back together with my ex and go to uni in glasgow or get a job up there. sorted! Work your ass off now and it'll pay off later
  16. that was flipping quick jonny, lol. fair play. il purchase one soon. cheers mate
  17. I would have said that Hayes MX2 cable disc's would be crap, but i am currently running one with an Avid lever and its insane, it's only a 160mm rotor, but it is flipping powerful.
  18. Ash i've never heard you say any of those words, lol. mine favourite word is sweet
  19. I just watched it, it loaded for me Rich. SO who's gonna bring the bottles on the next big ride and give it ago
