Nick Manning

im coming now. coming up in the morning on the 27th gotta get the 5:44am from bournemouth and i arrive at leeds 13:03. its about 7hrs. shall be gd ps: can someone send me there no, so i give them a ring when i get there otherwise i wont know where you lot will be. cheers.

im quite happy with my '04 control geometry WB: 1110 BB: +20 HA: 71 RE:375 but my new geometry as of tomorrow should be: WB: 1125 BB: +60 HA: 71 RE: 375

im up for it, just wanna know if its sunday or tommorow? if its sunday il come obviously weatehr depending (Y)

alright nick i'm nick manning. i live a 2min ride from b'mth high street, i personnaly find b'mth pretty gd, aswell poole. poole can be ridden day or night, but b'mth can only really be ridden at night. both towns are similar in the sense that they've got similar walls but they are both two very different places to ride. sandbanks is what we would call our natural spot as it offers a small amount of rocks to ride, our other decent spot for natural is the almighty portland bill. In the bournemouth and poole area in all there are about 11 riders.

im still on the same pair of viz rims since about june, and ive seen plenty of people go through other branded rims since to now, i agree on the koxx rims, they do seem to dent quite easily. havent tried any rims, but too be fair the best rims about have to mavic EX721 but there just not wide enough for modern trials frames.

do bristol saturday, and somewhere south sunday, im prob riding poole sunday, hopefully be building my new bike sunday morning :(

i may be there with a couple riders from bmth and poole, but we'll be in for about 10am

i wanna come to this ride, but unfortunately, im working this weekend, im thinking of going to portsmouth next weekend prob on the sunday, prob put a post up bext week. (Y)

il be in tomorrow, but not till bout 1/2pm, gotta take my sis to get a belly button pierced first, lol see yall tomorrow :P

Alex - Yes Nick is still at my house, one more night er at mine then he goes to Bristol uber early tomrorw. Yeah it's beasty, after ridding all day it knock you out a bit. Dude if you read the posts it says Coust!!! I had it powdercoated thats all

Pete ''Random'' on Nicks username. Matt my front disc is a Hope Xc4, mini 4 pot with a 150mm disc on a pro leaver, now very powerfull. Wanting to get soemthing differnt now. What kids?? We had lots of people looking at us yeah and going ''wow''. Use to it, like it, fact love it. Been rididng on and off from 1998, so thats erm yeah a long time. I'm still at a beginers level i'd say but i'm now pushing my self. It's all good. Jules, get down er on a sunny day and you bike and ride, man thers loads of stuff and sweet lines at uni. Oh and yeah i like the Coust but i might be getting soemthing differnt, swapping it. Cheers boys. Pete :-

i should be getting in for 10:25, train leaves plymouth at 8:25, looking forward to the ride. bit of advice to all that come, dont go to subway with porter and wheeler, they'll make a right mess (literally) :-

Welll today was a hell of a lot nicer than yesterdays ride which i stuck out for but didn't get any pics of me. Rob has em i think. I've had Nick Manning staying at mine so he's infuenced me loads and shown me how to do things right and not wrong and some wicked lines. Hope you like..soz if there poor you have to get use to using me camera. Checky & ''have it'' ^really didn't think i'd make it a si did it totaly static and my king slipped as it's service time but hey i still did it. Please post what you think. Hope to get more pics and a vid out soon. Pete

i may come along, depending on weather but i prob wont be in till 12 if i come. maybe se you all there.

sorry mate, i wotn be coming to this ride as i cant stay round my mates, so im going to the plymouth ride instead, but next time im up il let you know and come out on a ride :lol:

im upfor this, ive wanted to ride plymouth for so long now. i can come down for the day and go home in the evening, but i would like to go on the tuesday ride aswell, and as im riding bristol on wednesday, would it be possible for somone to put me up for monday and tuesday night, as this would make it a hell of a lot easier to go on the 3 rides. here's my contact details if anyone can help me out e-mail: bournemouth_trials@hotmail.com mobile: 07854503274 any help will be greatly appreciated, cheers.

i reckon i may come along if its cool, see if i can some others out too

it doesnt say about trials course just says about the public access course for bikes and boards, and ur right, if its indoors it wont have the same atmosphere as in shepton, it'll just feel like the bike show, plus it dont look like theres camping so it'll be crap. i reckon trals forumshould go to nass but find a campsite near that we can all stay in, then we can have our own nass campsite, lol :)

ive just had a news letter from nass, and thought i should share it with everyone that didn't sign up for the news letter. the venue is now gonna be birmingham nec, here's their website http://www.nass2006.com/

im up for bristol wednesday, hopefully im staying at paulys in tamworth for the week from tomorrow, so il bring him too.

sounds like a great plan, might come, depends where i am, as its 3.5 hrs from bournemouth, but i may be i cheltenham or tamworth.

i may make an apperance if i can get there, there's no trains between bournemouth and southampton this weekend :ermm:

riding poole tomorrow afternoon, from bout 12. will be riding portlnad from about 12 aswell on sunday. hopefully see some riders out :P

im running a viz hub and viz rim, light, but hubs awkward for building onto, cos the flanges are to completly different sizes. for the disc i got a magura marta sl this week and within an hour i was amazed at its performance, i also hate hope disc, ive had 2 mono trials and a mono mini all brand new and all were appauling, ive also had a hayes hfx 9, didnt do anything really. the marta isn't the cheapest (£184.99 trials shop) but i reckon its the best for modulation and bite and reliability.

i think up for the challenge of riding the 20 miles each way, if i ride this to come to bristol, that means that the bath lot have to come cos to ride bath to bristol is no way as far as bournemouth to brockenhurst. so i best see you all there! :rolleyes:
