if it works with that above it should work with a 400d. it has a direct print button (pictbridge or something) which i assume is the way the pictures are sent to the ipod

he just bought a 400d, i doubt hes gonna go spend 800quid on a lens...

how is the leeson then? lol

not really lol

bit late now but pick up a 50mm F1.8 for bout 50 quid, shoot wide open and high iso. if you are allowed to use flash then do and shoot manual, bout 100th and higher aperture like 5.6 for sharpness ( your flash will do the exposing for you assuming you have a flash gun)

frank the welder... seriously though, nice original design

Dont get me wrong matt, i think you have a good style of riding and your one of the best in that field. I just feel that your making out that trials cant go anywhere unless it adopts that style in someway. I supose Rowan jones basically has one of the best styles on the scene and he goes big too and if trials went towards that direction it wouldnt be a bad thing( danny mac too), but from a competion orientated view and the view of a person who enjoy all aspects of trials and bike riding in general I still think that trials is a sport in itself and doesnt need to cross over or mix with bmx just to suceed in being popular. trials is hard for the public to appreciate because its so technical and looks impossible balancing on backwheel on a rail 4 foot in the air then jumping to another without falling off or hooking a 6 foot wall but thats not a downside to the sport and we shouldnt try to be more mainstreem as a sport to attract publicity. Martyn Ashton is doing well with his demos and he has a streety/bmx'y style and it works because the crowd instantly can recognise it which is whats needed but i still dont think the whole sport should change just because its easier to take in for the public. I hate when people put this cliche but, Ride how you want to ride, if you want to be able to sidehop or tap higher than anyone else then go for it and people like damon and tunni are amazing atheltes. and riders like yourself are awesome with your creativity and linking of moves. The sport can progress in many ways but i still see comp based technique as the core of trials and i guess that means that practicing sidehops and taps is still important. (have you seen the size of the obstacles at UCI worlds rounds) Sorry to use examples in there ( although non where negative ) and it helped me explain myself.

wtf is a 'sidehop'. your missing the 'ehop' after it not being funny but its boring that people keep trying to make trials more 'interesting' and like bmx. its not suprising that the people who start these topics ride their trials bike like a bmx (not being disrespectful as i personally like that style of riding and when its done well its great) but trials is not bmx. you cant get through a worlds section being all flowy and bunnyhopping everything. trials is what people like vincent and kenny beleay ride, big taps, sidehops, tricky off camber technical stuff. its not overly exciting for the general public but why should we try and change the sport for that, and to be fair ive done big taps and gaps before and random people in the street have walked over in amazement as they have never seen it before and dont understand how i can ride a bike on to a railing etc. I agree that the tuck thing is beyond gay and that the lining up for taps is also lame but its competitive and counting inchs makes you progress when your pushed by the person riding next to you, i know for me my riding improved drastically riding with someone a better than me and always trying the same things after each other. bmx is so fashion based these days, all that matters ( on the non pro end of the scale) is the look of your bike or the clothes you wear, actual riding means very little. it would be a shame if trials when the same way

lol thats like the same spec as waddys bike looks nice though. bit of a posh bike for a beginner

why did you pm asking me to watch your video?

glad your getting it sorted now mat. whatever happened with postage or whatever, its undeniable that contact should have been made sooner. however this forum has some of the strangest and aggressive repliers than any other forum ive been on, and attitudes that just wouldnt cut it in the 'real' world. i think people need to use their heads before they post.

pics all look really good. nice one

cool video. that gap to front of the bench was huge. liked the editing and the song too.

lol

lol nick im like you, well skint, turn to drinking cheap vodka before you go and stop having take aways. if i dont drink i spend like 15 quid a week on food. if i go out like 3 nite o spend near 200. so get pissed beforehand and you ll be ok. glad i dont have insurance to pay for though

otn off topic is the weirdest place on the net.

ill try and make it, will be there with cameras and a bike, hopefully i can still ride after 2 month off lol
