And a forth option... http://www.trustedreviews.com/article.aspx?art=3312

I think you can get hubs like that for tandom bikes?

I struggled to watch all of that, it was making feel a little queezy (sp?). But that was nasty. I face planted the other day, off the top of a ford fiesta. Luckily the ground was fairly soft. But my helmet definetely helped there. The helmet stopped my nose and face hitting the ground. Instead, my helmet did, followed by my chin. My chin then hit my lower teeth in to my upper teeth (dentist appt. on Wednesday). I was wearing a piss-pot. I was really unlucky that I couldn't get my hands out in time, so I just ended up rolling along my arms. I'll post a video once I've edited it up - it's funny! This is the first injury I've ever had where a helmet would help in the slightest. When I'm doing something, I'm more worried about breaking my legs, crushing my rib cage etc. than I am hitting my head.

I'll try and come, but I don't know if Spode can make it.

I love you Chai!! Rob,Spode and I will be making an apperance, with the sole aim of reducing you and Matt to histerics with our near borderline homosexual activities, that will always make you wonder - "Are they gay?" Seriously though, we're up for it. We're be arriving at about 4 ish or so, so we'll have to meet u there? I'll PM you my Mob number By the way Im using Spode's Member name as Im at his now Darren

I really enjoyed that. A lot better than most of the videos I see nowadays

Close! You were lucky.

Oh, I'm just telling half the story. I've been billed for other people, other phone numbers, contracts I never had. The list goes on. It angers me so much I don't want to even remember the full details. But I spent on several occasions in a queue for an HOUR waiting for customer service. Yet you can get straight though to sales every time. I'm glad they've pulled out of the retail segment, but I wish they'd compensate me.

In theory - yes.

Wasn't that ME she rung?? I'm not sure I can make this. It's quite a way out of my way to do for an evening. And I'd like to give my hand a little more time to heal. It's really sore

I seem to be getting in to quite a bit of flack for my comments here, but equally I get the impression a few agree. But I'm gonna stand by my guns anyway. I think the big difference between your point number 1 and this scenario, really is the fact that trials DVDs are such a niche market that the damage done by people pirating it is considerably more noticable. As stated, it's not expensive and we owe it to riders like Ryan Leech to keep producing decent DVDs.

It can be just as much hassle to switch. I've switched from Bulldog and they are STILL trying to bill me...

I'm in pain.

Okay. The scum comment was a bit harsh, sorry about that - just hit a bit of a raw nerve. But quite amusing/ironic that you spelt Intellect wrong - it's two L's. And thou shalt not judge? How about thou shalt not steal... Although technically all piracy is illegal, it's also a bit of a grey area, but I don't want to go in to that right now. The reason I took this particuarly thread to mention this, is because this isn't some multi-millionare we're talking about. Professional mountain bikers don't get paid a lot and Manifesto took a lot of effort to create and he's an incredibly skilled rider. It's well worthy of your money. If you want to go around to a mates house and watch it, fair enough - you can do that for free. But on a trials forum, openly offering out free copies online (and putting yourself in to a position of BEING judged) is going to have a serious impact on what is quite a niche market for selling DVDs. It's not as if there aren't hundreds of other free downloadable videos online.

Stav's right. But a firmware upgrade can't hurt. It'll start high and slowly work it's way down.

Guys.. If you want Manefesto, go and BUY IT. Pirating scum. Or if you're not going to buy it, don't talk about it on an open forum.

Sounds like they've upgraded you to ADSL Max. Current Router should be fine and should connect at your new speed. Tried a flash upgrade?

I'll be there.

Why can't it be evening? Some of us work...

I'm up for it. I'll see if I can drag some more peeps along. Still not seen the video of the last time I came up to London though! (Where is it Mr Staples??)

Had a great ride last night, good to meet you lads Definetely up for it again. GOOD GOD MY HANDS HURT. All my calssuses(sp?) have blistered up.

I'm up for Either. Somebody get in touch with me! spode@spunkyspode.com is my MSN/E-Mail.

Works a dream.

I've never seen an Akrigg video, so that was a first for me. Very impressive stuff. I know very little about him (country, if he's released DVDs etc.) but I'd like to see more of that.

That's awesome.
