    Forwards

    Brilliant mate - this is gonna be opened up again at start of summer for some serious inspiration! Nice work mate Thanks for posting it for free - more of the same please!
  3. 3 Piece, massive bars and a weak brake....gonna get abuse for this but......buy a bmx.
  4. Check the link! http://forums.xpowerforums.com/showthread.php?t=52163 Say below when you scroll down... Nope, Daddy has a Nice BMW 3 series. Mummy has a lush black Merc CLS. His rents own a Chinese restaurant. When Dan (thats his name) was at school for a business studies project he was set the task of setting up you own business. But where by most would just have to make it all up his dad gave him a few grand and told him to do it for real as the project. As a teen Dan was very good at mountin bike trials so that was his business. Building trials bikes. All started from the his garage to now having a small warehouse just to hold stock. Sells on average 5 a month and when you consider they go for £1000 a bike. Not a bad way to make a living Just wondering if they are on TF? Crash looks horrible!
  5. The paint job and gussets look abit tacky and cheap on this effect although thats not a problem if if the geometry is spot on. Just wondering if anybody has ridden one of these http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=70 i want to know if its small and short enough to pull the front end up to mannual or bunny hop with out having to pedal?
  6. sorry if that's come across as rage to you, it's more annoyance that companies that should know better, clearly don't give a damn about their customers. No excuse, if MA has time to put updates on Ashton bikes and facebook every week about how much they are enjoying riding their new bikes then it's not much to ask for him to say 'bikes are not set to land for abit but keep you posted on the progress' It would be nice for us to hear what the process is that bike manufacturers have to go through before a product gets released and if he doesn't want the target Market of people to be put off then just do a post on TF for the trials geeks who care about that stuff. Anyway no offence intended mate, just my opinion that people could be onside rather than out the loop and annoyed.
  7. Is that supposed to be 'get your facts right' sort of reply because I think the whole thing has been a complete farse. Building the hopes of your customers only to keep changing release dates shows a complete lack of respect. Given how expensive bike parts are people such as those on here know how much time and effort goes into researching a part before parting with your hard earned cash. As a result I know many people who on the good advice of the ashton website held back their purchase of an inspired this summer and waited in good faith to buy an effect instead. Given the initial prompts of a release date many thought they would still have summer and autumn to ride. Infact they were wrong and wasted their summer and great autumn, just because of people hyping up a product by giving false release dates. If it was the case of difficulties being encountered by the company, then fair play but at least tell your customers what's going on. That way they can sort another frame and get on with riding or just wait for the Ashton to land in the shops, happy in the knowledge they haven't been led on. As far as I'm concerned I could not care less about pics of riders sitting on their new setups, just because they have theirs doesn't make people happy. If you want to hype your product then say coming soon or TBC. It's not out until I can order one and have on my doorstep later that week. Until then I could not give a damn!
  8. i heard that the effects not being released anymore as it wasn't cost effective...
  9. So pleased he is pissed off at this! I do have to vent at BMX as a scene, for every time I've been into the skatepark or at the trails or even riding street and had a thousand dirty looks, or million comments on why I dont sell my bike and get a BMX designed for the job. Sorry mate but danny just got the job done 1 million times better than any of the 'pro' BMX scene who are too worried about matching the colour of their frame with their wheels, or wearing the right clothes and listening to the right music when making sure you fit seamlessly amongst the other million boring, same, mardy BMX crew! Massive well done to danny, perhaps BMX's might start smiling and allowing people who don't exactly resemble themselves to ride with them at the same spots. PS I ride a 24 inch street bike and loads of my close mates ride BMX but they all share the exact same sentiments about the scene as a whole...
  10. Is it still going to be release as a internet vid? Last post was 2007? Ibs Edit - Just saw it was yesterday lol Ok excited!!
  11. Some HUGE ol' riding there mate! Nice work - I live in leics so ive seen how big that stuff is in derby and that pretty huge in any state of mind let alone sleepy! Good work! Ibs
  12. I'll buy if you to sell it for a good price, I'll come collect as your close to leicester. That would be the quick fix, otherwise everything others have suggested should sort it. Ibs
  13. tilpasset dine ulike sider Translates according to google as... 'tailored to your various pages' guessing it means needs! Good on Danny - Bringing trials to the masses!! Ibs
  14. What is this GT??? Its pretty much the nicest dh bike ive ever seen!!!
  15. This seems awesome, but is there any chance of having reach adjustment so you could make both front and back brakes grab at them same point??
  16. Anything anyone?? Are they still set to be out at the end of the month?? Can I pre-order one?? Ibs
  17. If they finally do drop after sooo long at the end of this month it would surprise me bigtime!
  18. How long.......I want one before next year - any idea if this might happen? If not I may cry!
  19. How does it ride - is it like an inspired or an ET? Basically can you mannual and bunny hop it just by pulling up? Ibs
  20. How does it ride? As a 24 does it compare to the Ashton ET, Inspired etc or is it more sort of trialsy if you know what I mean? Can you mannual and bunny hop it in other words? Ibs
  21. Just a little clip I got at the end of the SKYride event - awesome day!! Btw Nick pulled the side hop straight after pretty sweet! Ibs
  22. Same - its really just a pisstake - just a date to expect its arrival would be nice, rather than just silence...
  23. Any ideas as to where I can get a mech hanger for an 06 Echo Pure frame and which hanger it is?? Thanks Ibs Also any idea on when the ashton effect will land? If its soon i'll not bother with the mech hanger and just buy one of those!
  24. Site teamashton doesnt work mate!
