Hi, Last year the video comp was abit rushed and people only had about two week to get filming and stuff. I was just having a chat with some mates and though, "ooh its near the vid comp time" and though that I would start a topic about it. Be helpful if we had abit more time to make a video IMO. So erm post any comments in here .

Which issue of BTM I have all of them somewhere in my room.

Hi I am doing my English Oral on biketrials and need to know a few things. 1.When did it start, how and by who. 2.What majour turning points where there in the sport (eg long frames etc) Thanks Nick

Oki thanks just woundered if you could buy it serperatly.

Hi my keyboard is set-up American style and the buttons are wrong for what im used to, how do I change it to English Settings? Sorry I know its a noob question Ive forgotten how to cahnge it. :">

Where can I buy Counter Strike Souce on its own, if its possible?

I do and I dont know why as its made from Titanium so its not likly to break to be honest.

Ive got P4 3.06ghz HT 512mb pc2100 ram GeForce Mx440 128mb card (pretty pants, 275/350) I can run it on full settings and get 53 fps which I think is pretty good. Your machine will run it fine.

Hey Anyone fancy a game tonight, if someone would be able to host it or whatever as I only have 300k and I dont think it would work to well.] Counter Strike Source

Would anyone be so kind and send me the .rar file with aston installation and the crack in please, if you could e-mail it to nickgarland@gmail.com. I have found the patch online but it says it doesnt match my version of aston. Thanks

Frames 2 and 3 are the nicest imo. Frame 2 is quite original never seen the wild tube in the middle of the frame between headtube and seat stay area. Frame 3 has a very nice CnC element to it, abit like the XTP with all the CNC parts but very nice. Are they planning on doing any prototype frames like those for the stock bikes because I would buy a stock version of the 3rd frame if it was for normal headsets and not the internal ones. :( for Onza trying new designs and finding out which is prefered first before building them, thats what a company should do. Ask the riders what they want, not guess.

Ive uninstalled it thinking it would work normally but it doesnt. My parents accounts who done use aston also get the same message.

Hi I was using the Add/Remove function to remove a game that I wasnt playing anymore. It crashed so I turned the pc off and back on again to be greeted with this. I was running aston at the time so I swapped back to normal explore.exe and it worked fine. Get back from school and the message I thought I had got rid of re-apopeared. So I have checked everything in services.msc and its all ok (checked against the original settings) Anyone got any ideas how to resolve this as I have to start Windows by getting the task manager up and selecting explore.exe through the new task menu. Thanks for any help Nick

I was skeptical about getting the 2005 mag but when I put it and and used it I was very impressed. My mate who has sworn by his Tomacs has thought about buying a pair. Go for it you'll love it.

Happy Birthday :blink:

Copied from what exactly? Looks like a new design to me.

I was thinking about getting one of these as my next frame, after reading your review it is very encouraging but I am only 173cm tall and would be worried if I would find it too long. Also do you just use a mod stem with the bike or is it a special high rise stock stem? I wounder if Koxx have started off another trials design era of high bb's for stocks and super long bikes, not just long but super long?

When I said legal I meant it wasnt downloaded it was purchased from a shop.

Hi I borrowed HL2 off my mate to try it out and see what its like. I have got the DVD infront of me before anyone says its not a legal copy. When I go to activate it I use the CD key inside the DVD case and it says duplicate copy. Which is believeable as its my mates copy. He cant remember his login so I can use that to try and play it. Does anyone know where I can get a key-gene or the offline activation patch. If so e-mail me : nickgarland@gmail.com I repeat this is a LEGAL copy borrowed off my friend and I can get a piccy of me with the DVD if required to prove it. Thanks for any help. Nick

Halo 2 its pants IMO. Halo 1 was a great game and there was alot they could have built on to create a great sequel to it but they failed. If you look at it, all they have done in the 3/4 year different between the game is slightly modify the game engine (which didnt work amazingly after the re-vamp, textures sometimes are missing) add about 3 new guns, modify some vehicles and create some new levels. The biggest difference was being able to play online. Halo 2 is more of an Online game, the story is abit all over the place and sucks to be honest. They could have done alot more, like discovering all the other halo's and more technology with more weapons. If you think back to games like Goldeneye and Perfect Dark you see how the single player helped the multiplayer element. You would unlock extras to the game by completing levels in a certain time on a difficulty. There were lots of secrets in those games that were put there purposly to be found. In Halo 2 there arnt really any secrets in the game, you dont unlock stuff etc. This is why most modern games fail to be playable 3 maybe 4 years on from the release. When companies spend time improving games they come out and are amazing. Pefect Dark Zero (or Perfect Dark 2) has been in development from 1999 they have had to re-build the engine to work with the Xbox two now as they decided to skip putting it on the Xbox, and the original Perfect Dark game came out on the N64 which would be 2 console generations ago. This game will be good as the story line has been thought through well, they would delay the game if required to make it perfect and they will bring back the secrets to games. Alot of games have become to life like and forgotten the point to gaming which is to escape reality. Sorry about the essay I could type more but I have stuff to do, me and my mates often have this conversation at school.

Pads: Rim Jam Blues Time used: 3 Rides (18 hours ish) Rim used: Planet-X Grind: Yes (its dead though) Ceraminc: No Brake used: Magura 2005 What is your opinion of a working brake: A brake that has enough modulation when required but will hold in all conditions. How do they compare to previous pads you have used: They grip amazingly and have decent modulation for manuals etc. They are better than CRM's imo but dont beat the squeek of a monty pad. Review: Theres pads are very good. When they first arrived I was very impressed with the quality of them. After fitting they didnt move around in the cylinder like some people have said. They worked amazing from the first pull, no need to bed them in they held so well, I didnt need to put the lever hard to get them to hold it takes very little effort. They havnt shown any signs on severe wear bu have worn about 0.1mm as there is some blueness on my rim but very minute wear. They dont have the squeek when braking but they do when you drag the brake which annoyed me abit as they are supposed to have an amazing squeek. Overall very impressed with the pads 9/10 deffinatly worth £10. (not 10/10 as they are not perfect, nothing is)

Im not saying they wont but I personally would buy a Pitbull because it would be cheaper for me to build up. Others might find the Onza cheaper to build up. If you read my original post it says something like "most people would buy which frame would be cheaper to build". Think of it differently, youve got a king rear wheel and its got a 12mm bolt through axle, you want to buy a new frame and the frame only takes QR. You wouldnt go and but a whole new king wheel to fit into the frame you would buy a frame with 12mm dropouts. I wouldnt go and buy a new headset, wider bb etc to save £100 odd on a frame by buying an Onza over the Zoo. If you see what Im saying, (confiused myself abit)

It might have slightly different geo but it was originally based on the Coust and its like £100 cheaper. The geo is different in all fairness but I wouldnt want to spend £515 on a coust frame when you can get something with very similar geo and looks very similar as well (until they bought out the 2005 version) for £100 less.

Ive got RimJam Blues and they work amazing, dont move around in the cylinder at all. Had them for 2 weeks now and theres no sign of wear. Why would you want to pay twice the price for a set of pads that will do the same job?
