I know everyone has seen it, but this is an awesome pic of Ali C, it would be great to get it with no-one in the background, like really early on a summer morning

Not a good idea to run the disk protector with titanium bolts though!

Yeah, there were water baloons and oranges hurled at anyone caught walking down!

I competed in the University Mtb champs this last weekend and this is the reaults of mixing a load of XC riders with a downhill course, much fun!
I appear at 1.49 when my team mate decides to crash into me!

Awesome-ness, looks great from a non-rider point of view (I recon!). Phatmike is doing some crazy lines as always! Certainly took its tole on that 1.1!

I think these pics have just made trials more homsexual than UFC mit Bruno. I think i'm gonna take up ballet.

All I can say is that it's the best video I've ever seen, and probably will be for sometime. The bar has been raised even further, I'm struggling to see how it could be beaten.
It's really good to see that Dave was directing; theres equal talent in the directing as there is in the riding. The locations are awesome and it just shows how good shots can be with the right equipment!
As for the riding, all I can call it is extreme biking, it can't be labelled as just trials, but it's certainly not bmx either. But it's f**king brilliant, absolutely emmense!

They certainly are different, but they seem a bit over engineered. The tabs on the side seemingly have no use other than as a guide for the slave cylinder pad guides (which I have never managed to break off).
Ashima disk brakes have had poor write ups all round, they like trying different things, and credit to them for trying, but their designs seem detrimental to performance more often than not.
Somebody try them and see.
is there any point on the "wings" considering there is no additional pad material until the last bit of the brake pad?
its worth trying i suppose, however making re-fills for them would be ridiculous.
Exactly, they've just gone and made their pad insert 50% wider, it might not be such an issue if they're injection moulded, but it still uses a greater amount of material and increases tooling costs.

As Nick M said, I'm definitely up for going, but unless its in the Easter holidays I'm going to be pretty busy at uni as it's my final year. So either mid April (before that is gonna be cold) or end of June for me. Would love to come, this year did feel a bit empty without it.
It would be awesome if we could all go in convoy together and go stright to Paris for a street ride, then head on down to Buthiers after that.

Sounds good, farms rock!

Tractor tyres are quite soft, so the best thing to do is fil them with hardcore, though they will become semi permanent. Otherwise the best thing is to get construction tyres instead as they are bloody solid. But they also weigh loads, you'll probably need a sizeable van! and some strong people/ a forklift!
-
Yeah, I'm a farmer and they are a pain in the ass to get rid of, hope its not too far to roll it home, otherwise you may need a sizable pickup

Mark stop being so negative fool!
Very nice site, professional and some of the best names around onboard!

I Have a brand new heatsink booster that will just fit, a small amount of filing and it will fit well, want me to bring it next time i see you?

Surely the daylight was a bit limited 5 months ago, they only get about 6 hours of light a day in the middle of winter, ...on a good day!

A week or so ago the M.A.D. team went all the way up to sunny Orkney to perform the M.A.D. show. We managed to grab a few spare hours to hit the largest town on the island, Kirkwall and bash out some lines!
Riders are Tim Stedman, Nick Manning and me, thanks to Tim for the photos (he's currently in Guernsey on another tour!)

Making the gap without realising there was a big heavy chain at the far side, made for an interesting jump off!

R.I.P Andy, such tragic news.
Just reading through the blog it really hits home, it's well written but so sad to read, life is brutal.
