Great vid Ad, nicely done indeed. Phil.

I have used try all shoes for a while, they have lasted quite well, but in the end they have died, but you cannot expect them to last forever, the Yik shoes are pretty much the same but with better soles and tread pattern, and loads of slight changes, the Monty shoes look ok, but I have no knowledge of them, they are also very expensive, the Yik shoe being the cheaper option followed by try-all would be close, I would say the Yik shoe due to the function and overall price. Phil.

the 5.6MB video is an MP4 Adam I think something has gone wrong with that, I'm getting the other one now though. Phil.

Team Briefing at 18:00 hours 10/07/05 in the warehouse pmt. atl, sfs, ntp, get there on time dave.

If you have a steel frame you can braze some 4-bolt mounts to your frame wherever you want, in the correct place preferably (Y) , if you need any just PM me and I'll send you some. Phil.

July 5th is the closing date: This means they must have got the entry in on time. Also, you cannot get 10 penalty points for spitting on the floor which is the only place he spat. Phil.

Also, I know you have a Orange Zero already, really, I did know :S" (Y) Phil.

It's not a zoo or an echo, neil rides for ZOO, the GU brand does have riders but they are in China, the website is being made, you should see it about soon, you can read all about the frame from shops which sell them I'm sure they will have info on the frames. The Gu frame has gone through the same testing and design as echo and zoo frames and is also the same material, you can trust it will be as well made as echo and zoo for them reasons. Phil.

Neil has always been on a short Pitbull. He doesn't find it hard to bunnyhop either, although you have to find a compromise between being able to bunnyhop and doing everything else, this is why a high BB can help give you a good bunnyhopping performance while keeping everything else sweet, where as if you where to have an orange zero 990 wheelbase bunnyhopping will be great but everything else will be BAD. if your after a great bike to bunnyhop a 1075 GU is perfect while still being able to keep a great geometry for sidehopping taps and whatever else. Phil.

Are Master riders not automaically selected anyway, Martyn Ashton has been selected although I gather it says "DNE" by his name. And even his results this year are by far good enough. I'm also slightly confused over the 10 Penalty points given to dan butler at addingham to prevent him from taking 1st spot, what is the exact reason for this so, as I'm sure a lot of people would like to know as you can't give penalty point out wherever. So can sombody explain? Phil.

As said above, the high BB with make bunnyhops a lot easier and psycologically making everything "feel" smaller. Phil.

Nope, I'm goin back to mine, and anyone else coming should go to there hotel or wherever they are staying. Phil.

People pretty much do know, but certain people don't want to put exactly why it's happened, it's just "political". Round 2 of the nationals explained. Danny was doing a section, I was second observer while I was waiting, danny was riding, the observer gave a 5 to him because he thought his front wheel went over a tape, but it was in the air (over tape not a flag) so it was not a five, I saw this and so did other people, the problem was the observer did not know the rules so danny had to suffer. Basically he put a request in to barbara to talk about the decision and take further action because it could have lost him the 1st place, danny said, if he still won he would not need to take it any further, and he did still win, all was well. Danny got letters through the post saying he has been docked 10 points from the trial for SPITTING, which is rather pathetic, so now danny has only got the points for 2nd place which is not fair, now if danny would have got that 5 taken off he would still have won with the 10 docked points, basically, the people in charge must have gathered this. It's quite obvious somebody up there has it in for the family, and it's so political now, it's a war of who has the most power, and danny can't do anything about it, a lot of people may not believe any of this because the people in charge are very nice people, which I agree they are, but I think something is wrong here and it;snot good, and no good for competitions, competitions are going down the pan anyway, and especially the nationals, and this doesn;t make it any better knowing the level of hierachy between certain people is affecting the sport and the fairness of how it is run. Get them in the team, and stop the bitterness whoever is resonsible. Phil.

that's fine you may think that, but people can't make decisions on things this serious because they don't like them, that would not be right. Phil.

Well, certainly barcelona was on the books, but then we thought to go somewhere With a good English area like Benidorm, but now we have no idea. What are the beaches like in Barcelona also the night life, riding, females (Y) , prices, and whatever else which will back your bid, lol. Thanks. Phil.

Haha, ye, good point.

Yep, they got there entries in with everything required, but it got sent back saying they where rejected or to the same description. I don;'t actually know how they can possibly even think about not letting these to into the world round, Danny is leading ELITE at the brits this year, his the best in the UK at the moment, he has more than enough experience, and has ridden for Great Britain before in other competitions pulling off some great results, and doing the UK proud, and he can do the same again in the worlds this year, there may be other reasons why they are not allowed to ride, but whatever who cares, it's petty with them not being allowed, VERY PETTY. This just adds to the way biketrials is at the moment in the UK, not allowing these two riders to enter.tut tut. It's like saying to Tim Henman, "no you cannot enter wimbledon this year" it's exactly the same deal, and it's pathetic. I hope the rest of the trials public can understand how important this is even if your basically not interested in competitions because the UK needs you and your support. Phil.

Dave, i have confirmation u will be ok, but only if you get a ticket in advance, basically, they not assed aslong as you have a ticket lol. Can we get some names together of who may be coming to either the ride or the evening. Cheers. Phil.

It doesnt matter because they both still have BIU licenses. If them 2 are not allowed to ride, that would be a big let down for Great Britain. Phil.

I don't understand why it goes higher where it needs to go lower, the old coustelliers were very low at the seatstays so they could get into the bike as much as possible, but this is a bit strange, I can't see why it would stay like it is, the colour sceme of the frame is awfull, and because it rises up at the seat stays it makes it look wrong so it doesn't look nice. Phil.

Just rub it down so the paint will stick. Phil.

Any 18's and over then. The ride is still going down if you just want to come for the ride ye. Phil.

I wouldnt go more than 122 on a mod otherwise the chain angle will be wrong. PHIL.

Yep, Harry Hall is ££££££££££ and pants. Phil.

oes that kid over the road have a gass mask on?? Phil.
