Tom Rigg

hey dan!, you got any of us? i know you have somewhere in that tape! bring some of those out, might be best looking on the tape when it was raining! you must have been on the camera then

Well, i loved the megamo and control riding! much better on stock! also made me get an 06 control back again, i do miss the low bb bikes. Tom

you could probably just pm him on here, his user is philking, im sure he will be delighted to send a few vids

Was a beast ride! wish i was fitter though =[ will have to gym it up, nice pics ad's thanks!

I agree, signed.

Very nice dan!, the skills are mounting

ohh noes monty.... ooohhhhhh noes!

I had this very same problem with my vario styx, they kept on moving because of the offset on the mounts, i found filing down the edges on the top piece helped clamp the slave further, be careful you dont take too much off, the mounts wont like too much stress!

That was V nice guys! awesome moves from all of you, ive not been there before! will have to make a trip down sometime. ive missed riding recently!

Buy a volvo!

V nice dan, lol at that puncture, deflation on take off! ride soon

Nice vid Dan, nows the time to get making MORE hehe keep it up

oh my god this is the best topic ive seen on TF yet! (within reason) I remember the day when tarty made a visit to kendal, and had the lightest bike in the world, latex innertubes, 519 rear 517 front, cannondale frame i think, michelin hot s! oh my god Also remember Mike Bentham? he was pro.. i remember shimano deore hubs where good! you could hear them click a few times on rotation! Fatty forks were the only uber trials forks for 26" in the world.. using a road cassette for the first time still got a merlin in my garage! less than 2.0 tyre clearence on it! leaving my pc for an hour to download a 1539kb clip of mike bentham doing a bunny hop onto a rail when vincent was riding junior at the worlds.. caisso owning the world champs on his megamo and never failed to have the same coloured one piece lycra suit! danny comas using double disc on his megamo! riding it with style JJ gregorowicz using a brisa b26d with a 160 rear rotor... LOL

Well i had a bunch of mates who liked biking, we all decided we liked to jump about so we searched martin ashton on the web from seeing him in mbuk, they had like 4 clips on the site "how to endo 180" "how to bunny hop" " how to wheely" "how to back hop", we learnt them all loved it all got tricks and stunts.. copied some of that. We got to a stage where we all had a sort of trials bike (merlins!!) and thought... now what do we do? everything is easy.. so we thought! we searched the internet for world trials, at the time video quality was SHIT on the web so we didnt watch much videos, we found on vtcz.ch a video cd of the 2000 world champs, so we got it, my god we watched it 2138019830 times went out and practiced more. So for me i didnt have much of a problem when learning to ride, i had mates who enjoyed the same thing, and a source for new moves to try.. the internet! its still the same now, the internet is the only main source for people to read and learn about trials, take the web out of the picture and what do you have? MBUK 2 page spread? so i think like other "minority" sports the internet is the key. Bringing people together from all over the world in the sport we love so much!

For me these videos wont loose any watchability, and most of these were the ones i used to watch and think to myself... one day, thats going to be me, right there.. arnoldgiaco.avi le_arnold_fou.avi MarcCaisso.wmv orres2002.avi les_gets_marc_caisso.mpg mondial2003.avi and_all_that_could_have_been_lite.avi koxxdays2004_lite.avi I also loved and still have all the videos from - Cologne, Graz, Itadori, Lausanne, Les Gets, Livigno, Lugano, Polen, Kluisbergen, Pra Loup and Saarbruecken. Also anyone remember the video cd from www.vtcz.ch? from 2000 with the world champs on, vincent riding the juniors!

YAY, cant wait to return to buthiers next year!!! find some new bits! Video is ace as usual, wish i had the money to be at all these events.

Woo! got the vid, Ben you beast nice street! keep it up

WOO! yay for Tom, excellent video guys, well worth everyone downloading. Makes you wish you all started riding at that age, getting over those initial fears of riding early! good luck Tom in the last british round! we are all behind you all the way. Tom..
