Actually that wall in the picture is 56" and that was the closet i got, to left of that wall where the tops missing, that was 54". The highest ive had to back wheel is 58" but i have never held it, all ive done is blunt out of it, but all that was on my 1110 control '04 with +20bb, now im running a czar ivan with +75bb with 1125 wb, so im struggling to tap it at the moment.

its worth it, all the northen lot are right laugh, and its a great scene aswell

the NEC is Birmingham NEC which is next to Birmingham international airport. dunno bout the comp and entry fee, i asked earlier, so hopefully they'll be a reply soon.

how far south you after, me and my mate are coming possibly 2 mates, were getting the coach up from bournemouth, were gonna be a bit early though, we'll be there for 7am, and we gotta leave at 11:30pm long day but only costing £18 each See everyone then!

i agree with porter, tapered bb's are pretty wank, but at work i had a guy bring a gt i-drive comp back after 2 weeks use cos the FSA ISIS bb axle had snapped. but isis are still much stronger and stiffer than tapered.

are we gonna be able to ride on the trials course and is there going to be the traditional nass comp?

i was the ony one to turn up, but i learnt how to pedal kick into hook's, so all in all it was a good day for me, it did rain but i carried on riding it was more fun.

i'm still coming and im bringing 2 magura clear bleed hoses, so if anyone reads this, this morning can they tell fredrico that im bringing some. so there's no excuse for him not coming now, lol

i just checked bbc weather and at the moment its expected to be white clouds and thats all.

i think i may come along aswell, aint ridden london in ages.

internet screwed up so my post came up twice, nice one for the internet

i know that there was an nbr video with some sections at portland, not all videos are gaps and drops and taps, there are some street videos that have sections on street. i do stuff like that quite alot, i find it a good laugh if ur with some mates and make out a section in the street. especially if everyhting is soaking wet

il come for the trials and the park session, il see if i can bring some locals along with me

i wanna know too, as if its any good, i might come up aswell. scratch that, il hve to get a bus from stevenage, so i wont be coming but im curious about if its any good for riding though.

sweet vid tim

i've noticed there are no rides for this weekend, and was just wandering if anyone wants to ride anywhere this weekend?

i've just recently got a czar ivan, there's no pics as yet, but will put some up asap. i'm running a mixture of parts from: viz tensile magura maxxis shimano white industries czar ivan frame: wheelbase 1120 BB rise +70

Hey, im there, and this time i'l join in and get pissed too. 2 miles will be a breeze for me considering im riding to london from bournemouth for the British Heart Foundation london to brighton ride in june (on a xc bike) its about 100 miles.

ive been running a 2004 control, 1085. and its the best bike ive ridden for trials and at skate parks top dog for christmas

i build my own wheels

check national rail i know my trains running lol

check national rail, but id imagine the stations would only be down at weekends not during the week

im all good for coming cos its my day off work, but being that its xmas, dont u think that southampton is gonna be pretty damn packed, surely somewhere like portsmouth would be better?

im up for it, but i would have to crash at someones for a few days.

yeah that was february this year i should be coming up on my new frame, czar ivan 1125 wheel base with a lil bit more than +60 bb rise
