great riding from Marco, felix bored the pants off me though, and the monty koxx battle in the middle o dear, I agree with dave, it's so bad lol. but decent video suppose.

They too serious, they can't see the dam funy side of it, my god it's so funny, angles, that myspace movie is a monster.

Yer, it's down his pants. poor guy, we love the hairy spaniard though, I hope he doesnt come on here and read this

haha, good stuff sir

Do it on your bike, ride around like an escaped mental patient would with your brake rubbing for ages until it's basically glowing red and get a hose pipe on it straight away and cool it down, you can even play games with the steam if you get bored. phil.

the 20" frame is 1790 g and the 26" is 1920 g.

lol, more like if only he had a frame made of anything with horizontal dropouts.

They havn't been put into production yet, but I'm sure we will see them some day. Phil.

The gear rule has absolutely nothing to do with weight, if weight was the case there would be regulations on each riders bike about the weight of it like having a minimum weight, the gear rule is there to keep the 26" bikes more towards a regular mountain bike rather than a mod bike, but then it's still demined by the lack of seats these days. I just wanted to ride the dam trial and have a good time, I didnt want to mess about with my bike putting gears on it and that's why the tupmans where realy cool about it, they just said to ride the trial don't worry about it and everything will get sorted out and just have fun. Phil.

Yep, so people will moan if they are too easy and will moan if they are too hard because the level your making the sections should be the level they are intended to be not too hard or too easy, and dangerous sections has always been the case that's why sections have been changed half way through in the past and why you don't put a 7ft drop to a pointy rock in a blue route class as that would be classed as rather dangerous just as you wouldn't put a 20ft drop to a pointy rock in master. And it's funny because of the other bit I put below that. And you haven't quite grasped why people would moan about the £20, because last year it was £12 and this year an increase of £8 along with extra rounds, where is the extra money going, nothing is different. I can see you don't like "moaning" not exactly moaning but more of a discussion, if you don't want to discuss in a FORUM don't say anything instead of crying and telling me to shut up. Phil.

I wouldn't put a topic up asking about peoples opinions of the trial and expect positive feedback, but maybe I'd take the bad feedback and maybe use that for next events to improve them, also this about at back cown and making the sections to sort the men out from the boys, well what are you going to do? Make the sections harder than the route is intended to be making it quite dangerous for the riders level, or are the sections going to be at a consistent national level. The entry fee being £20, people probably don't like it because it's quite a lot more than last year, more rounds have been added. What you are saying about the how much it should cost is quite funny because your not paying the observers anything or anybody else involved so that leaves: QUOTE: "section tape and misc items=£50 trophies (even cheap ones)=£100" Total = £150 60 entries at £20 = £1200 Where does the £1050 go? That's a lot of money. Ofcourse I'm sure there are more huge huge costs like punch cards, toilets, a few pens, maybe some paper, maybe rent for land, refunding riders who provide an observer, but i'm still sceptical about the rise in entry costs. That is basically what i thought about the trial, If there are any positive notes, somebody let me use some toilet roll from the tupnall van, the venue is great, everybody seemed to have fun atleast, there was a butty van this year, only short of one observer was it, which is great and the grass was pretty well cut for the cars too. Phil.

The red route was rather too easy, the section marking/directions/positioning was awfull, Every rider I spoke to said they got lost all the time, The trophies where quite bad really, as where addingham trophies, and at a £20 entry fee it's quite ridiculous, obviously the loaners are wanting their loan back, kelly farm is awsome, the organisers, Tupmins was it where nice at the start with all the gear stuff. Phil.

Those zoo forks are well old, I had them for ages and so has porter, the chain thing, get a new link extractor, get someone else to link it next time just incase, get 18t cog, i'll see you on the weekend about it anyway.

That's about 66" that, wait till you al see what him and benito where backwheeling, O my, I'm sure it'll be on a video or pics, basically it must have been 58" backwheeling. O my.

He's been away to Paris / koxx days doing photo shoots. Phil.

Bingo.

1943.1mm I am.

Is that me on Slingers road bike haha, shhh, nah he saw it. Phil.

I thought the gear rule was to keep 26" trials bikes more of a mountain bike rather than letting it go towards a mod bike with a favoured gear. As for Andrei he clearly had a mech and cassette cogs and he could change gears with his hand, there is no advantage, and I can't understand why it wasn't mentioned at the start of the trial instead of at the end when the results where made hmm, that's very strange . Phil.

Me and Nick had a slight problem today, the company who done all the copying and case work, sent a load of cases without dvd's in them , so we are down quite a lot, good job I was checking each one anyway, so I think there are about four people who ordered dvds will go out tomorrow when Nick sends me the Dvds which are on there way, so they will be a day late for four people. Phil.

In another post, I think it was in the other topic in trials chat, Fred Savage said it incuded a trip to Paris on a coach, have a check.

Eyup Matt, haha Friday wow, yer, shouldnt be a problem there

I sent an e-mail to Swize about the last letter of the postcode thing, it's just a problem with the postcode line on the website, it leaves it off with some people and not with others, it's not a problem as I will just check the address and find the postcode, thanks anyway though for any e-mails. Phil.

Sorry doesn't seem to have gone through, try again, maybe your connection went slightly or the security on the website didn't like something, if you don't get any confirmation e-mails it's likely the order has not gone through, then you can do it on the phone if you like or any time. Tom, very close on the website but not quite

What's your name, I'll let you know if it went through, If not, call us tommorrow if you have any problems and you can order by phone if you like. Phil.
