i'm probably being thick, but what days is the trials comp on? il only be able to come up on 15th or 16th, cos i got work thurs and fri, but im gonna see if i can get in as trade through work :P

bournemouth isn't crap, u just cant ride untill the shops have shut, ive just got from riding it tonight. if ur coming down for the weekend, then i reckon ride poole sat day and bournemouth sat night, then ride sandbanks sat or sun. if ur interested me and dan jones might be going to portland this sunday. sum up of portland, would be rocks, rocks, rocks, rocks and more rocks, lol :( heres my mob no if u wanna get in touch 07854503274

this is a new post for the re-scheduled paris ride. it'll be taking place between the 23rd october - the 28 october. ( school half-term) so far there are 5 rider's coming, i have found a hostel at a cost of approx £56 for the 5 nights with a total cost of £59 rtn on eurostar from waterloo international, for bikes from what im aware, it's gonna cost each person £20 each way for there bike, which will have to be boxed or packaged in some sort of way. so foraccomodation of 5 nights plus travel from london to paris it'll cost approx £155 anyone interested please let me know asap, as the sooner its booked the more likely it is that we'll get the prices ive found. im putting a closing date for this trip as the 5th september, then all people that are definates will need to sort money to get their train tickets and deposit for hostel sorted within the following weeks to that. hope some of the guys that wanted to come before will be up for it this time Look forward to hearing from people (Y)

gd gd chai, all u gotta do is get down here now, lol (Y)

the ride was minto, and at the end at temple meads was good too, although id did miss my last train home and had to crash at my grandads in reading so i could go back to bournemoutht he next morning. Reason for missing my train was porter, wheeler, goddard, jones, pedrosa, adrian, kenny and his group had me lined up for some 13ft drop. if an yone ever needs peer pressure, see these guy's lol. Still a phat day though, well worth me getting my day off changed :P

cant say much fairer than tah dan, i agree that vid was pretty damn knarly, lol :P

i think il be attending all 3 :P

il be in at 10:48, see you all then (Y)

im gonna be riding poole this tuesday, just seeing if any other rider's might wanna come down for a lil ride (N) should be riding from about 12pm.

so is there a specific date for this, as i would like to know so i can get it booked off at work (N)

im up for it if its the weekend after, lol :P

james is 16 and he's nutter! there's a few rider's in wiltshire, there's a few in salisbury, swindon and i think some in some of the smaller places in between, if your up for travelling, then there's lots around southampton and portsmouth area (hampshire) myself am from dorset, there's plenty of rides in bristol and southampton and portsmouth, just get to know some rider's and ul be fine :P

il be up for it just gimme enough time to get it booked off :P

ride is postponed see next thread for info cheers guys

to sum it all up: NASS 05 was amazing for camping, but you had to be in the trials-forum campsite with the Worthing x Youth x Crew to have the best experience. i think the expert comp was funny, cos a part from the few ( staples, wheeler, nicky g unit) who did well, the rest of us rode badly and just pretty much pissed about ( porters swearing and damage count, lee's dancing and bail and the rest of us for screwing up on the simplist bits). next yr, reckon all expert rider's should enter on a shitty old school trials bike ( 16"frame cantilever's 1inch steerer front sus, 1.95 tyres, 32th chainring etc) :)

right ok, so thats 2 gone. can someone let me know if shaun is now out aswell as ben and saracen m.a.d assuming shaun isnt coming that leaves 7 rider's so im now gonna go check the prices and availabilty for 7 people, should be easier. il post up once i got some info. so far for 7 of us, its gonna cost about £143, unfortunaltey cos the number's odd, we'll be paying for an extra person in the hotel, so if someone else wants to come, then there more than welcome, as i think lee and brendan may not be coming. train tickets will need to be paid in full, and will be delivered to me, u will get ur ticket when we meet up at waterloo on the day of the trip. as for the hostel its gonna cost about £380 for all 7 people, per person it's gonna be about £55 for the 3 nights, which includes everyone chipping in for the extra space. and the deposit for the hostel is gonna be about £5 pp with the rest being paid once we get to the hostel. in total it's gonna cost each person approx £145, that's just for return ticket from waterloo international and 3 nights accomodation this should now clear things up for everyone, and so if we can get the definates getting in contact with me then, we can sort out paying the deposit for the hostel. as for the eurostar ticket, you can either arrange to send me the money so i can pay for your ticket or u can buy ur own ticket from eurostar, its up to you, just let me know, what you are wanting to do. i need to stress how soon we need to get our train tickets booked and deposit on the hostel, so we can get all this for these approx prices. any queries then please get in touch asap. cheer's nick :)

just home from nass. was pretty sweet. the trials course was much better than last yr, but overall i think last yr's nass was much better.

i know dan jones and steve maultby will be doing the comp. dunnob out anyone else.

il be well up for it providing its on my day off and not between the 12-15th august b(Y) lol
