  9. Student Loans

    To be honest, the cost of living aint going to go down much for students, however, tuition fees, thats where the scandal is!! £3200 for a years tuition, what the f**k do they do with it all? You can see why all these new uni building are going up all over the place for bragging rights. Labour f**king government and Tony Blair, wanting 50% of all young people to go to uni, thats ridculous!! There just aren't the jobs for all of these qualifications! It certainly doesn't set you up for life, quite the opposite in fact. How many students actually come out of uni and know exactly what they want to do and go straight into the field of work in which they studied?

    One other fact that really grinds my gears are foreign students, or more accurately, the university's favor of them. Without meaning to sound old fashioned and un-diverse, how can it be that a foreign student is worth 4 times as much I am? Fair enough, make some money out of the rich kids from China, but dont treat them as 4 times as special when they dont get off their arse and dont do any work in their first 3 years of studies cos they've been spoon fed all of their life. i.e turn a blind eye when they get caught cheeting on coursework. They're not even british citizens, but they get preferential treatment! Maybe the government should use the extorsionate fees that they pay to fund the educations of the people who belong to this country, so that there isnt a whole generation still paying off student loads well into their 30s and stuggling to pay their mortgage!

  10. A 2010 Trials Festival

    The June dates look the most likely choice at the moment.

    This is sounding really promising. As Jack Meek prooved last year, its possible to get huge interest just from this forum along. I would certainly be up for it. I think a big arena typre trial course could keep everyone happy. But if theres one thing you do do, please, please make it SPEEDTRIALS!!

    All levels are catered for. So I would suggest that the best thing to do is come along in plenty of time for the stat so you can have a look at some of the sections first. Then decide what you think suits you best. If you find it is either too easy or too hard then you can always change routes providing you haven't ridden more than 3 sections.

    Hope this helps :)

    I wont lie, it isn't ever going to be as good as a long bike for static gapping, but its easy to control on the back wheel and I seem to be able to gap quite well on it. It's a bit more suited to rolling gaps though. Im gonna have to give it some bunnyhop action!

    It was a fun little ride, we only got the camera when steve realised his left pedal was pointing towards his handlebars, Atomz CNC cranks for the lose!!

    Thanks for posting it up Steeeeve-O

    Oh, and I'm running the silver Rockbar on a Hope CNC 110 stem
