Nick Manning

I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed that Ross.

Thanks Nick. Yea Tom Kent created this track along with others for this purpose so people can use them providing they credit him. Interesting about the slow-mo and appreciate the comment, I wasn't sure if it was too much or not. I still don't really know what i'm doing with editing, lol.

Cheers Dave, are you back into riding? If so pop into Bournemouth/Poole soon and have a play.

Will do, I'll see if I can get a few clips from the weekends shows. I don't see why it's brave, stupid or a gamble. The down tube has been welded back in place and then carbon wrapped to improve strength and prevent it from cracking on the weld. The carbon top tube has been bonded inside the remaining top tube at either end and then carbon wrapped over the top, again to improve strength. The complete head tube has aslo been carbon wrapped to stiffen up that whole area linked with the top and down tube repairs. So overall it is stiffer than before and also stronger than before. It appears he doesn't.

That's no problem Josh, I appreciate you being able to give it ago as I much prefer this frame to my Zoo. I'd Luke to say ill be taking it easy to start with but my first ride on it will be at the weekend for demos. I took it to work last night to show my colleagues, I managed to have a little play on it. I can't say it feels much different to before which is good, so it's just down to strength. Cheers, I like it quite a lot, particularly as its a unique Echo Pure. I have had a little play on it at work (so only flatland riding), and it feels no different. It may respond differently when actually riding trials and doing things such as gaps to front and taps, we shall see. I live in a 1 bedroom flat with my wife with no garden, so the bikes had to go somewhere inside, so I had to designate somewhere to be my bike area :-D

You just don't want the competition from a younger rider I thought this video was brilliant. Matty is a very talented rider and if he continues the way he is it can only lead to good things in the future. I enjoyed the edit and filming by Rossy G too, but as I said on Facebook I found it ended to soon, as I wanted to see more. Hopefully Matty will have another video out in the not too distant future.

I didn't think Andrew Dickey's video was an entry. Glad it is though, deserves to be in and to be a good contender.

I'll be honest I wasn't charged for this as Josh wanted to do it as a project, but I did have my Yaabbaa 1499 repaired. It had cracked at the end of the gusset on the top of the down tube, this cost £28 at the time.

Some of you may remember I snapped my Echo Pure in two back in February this year. Well I gave it to Josh Leech from Jaf Bikes to see what he could do and this is the result. Top tube cut out. Downtube positioned back into place. Carbon top tube bonded in. The finished repair. The top tube has been replaced with a carbon fiber tube which has been inserted inside the aluminium frame tubing and bonded into place. The down tube has been welded together and smoothed over, with a foam gusset used between the top tube and down tube. Then as you can see from the pictures it has all been carbon wrapped. The original plan was to replace both top tube and down tube with carbon tubes, but Josh wasn't happy about doing it without fully testing it to see how a frame would perform like this, so he decided to do the above and is very happy with it. I've not yet ridden the bike, but I am keen to see if it feels any difference.

I thought the idea behind it was great with going to random places and hoping to find lines. The music wasn't to my taste, but it's never going to please everyone, and the video itself seemed weird to start with but when the riding came in, I quite liked the look of it, and clearly you are very happy with the outcome.

It was all very impressive, I loved all the lines, but what I found to be the craziest line was 3:03, just how he commits to two wheels over a large gap. The guy has some serious balls.

Decided I couldn't wait any longer, so submitted my video.

It is Joe 'Britain's Got Talent' Oakley.

Thanks, I'm still not sure. But it was fun to do, so I'm happy.

Huge thanks to Ian Johnstone from Phoenix Riders Co organising this private session with John from Terminal 1 Park. There was a few people taking pictures and filming, and here is a video of the night filmed and edited by John (Terminal 1 owner). http://mpora.com/videos/AAd9qfan9i2s Here is also a short timelapse vid of the night. Filmed and edited by Ian Johnstone using a GoPro. You'll have to excuse the bad lighting, still worth a watch. Ian would be interested to hear peoples thoughts.

I have had a video filmed and edited for a couple weeks, but nothing in it is creative, it's pretty much like all my previous videos so I'm not happy with it for this competition. I can't see myself getting any time to actually do anything creative, so it's looking like the video I have done will be my entry.
