very nice work guys, some very nice flowy lines, we need to ride together more!

they sound quite snazzy then

yes but not as well as nitromorse

I had some coust pads, I found them the opposite to what you said...good bite, crap hold. Never used the Heatsinks, so can't and wont comment, but I have been using the LGM pads all year (yep, the same pad the whole year to those skeptics who say they don't last long) and they have been pretty awesome, good in the wet, good hold and reasonable bite (my setup is aimed at hold as the most important aspect, sacrificing bite)

I would like one, but I can't justify spending that much on one. If I am having to carry something around in a bag rather than in my pocket, I want it to do more than be good for watching videos and going online. I would want to be able to edit videos, write documents, print from it and play proper pc games. If it can do those however, one would be much more tempting.

people are getting their facts mixed up. If your parts are PAINTED, use Nitromorse. This DOESN'T damage the metal. If your parts are annodised use CAUSTIC SODA, This WILL damage aluminium if left on for too long as it actually dissolves it but if used sparingly it gives great results.

you don't need a world ranking to be one of the worlds best riders, but I agree that he isn't up there with them.

I have held back a little because I thought it would be a bit harsh to slate him, but Joe has pretty much said exactly what I was thinking. Watching him ride is like watching tourretes on a bike, god know where he is going to land on some of those hops! Now I am not normally one to slag riding, I am not the best rider in the world but I was also really crap for a long time but Jeremy has and AWFUL style! Do don't need to be a rider to tell someone is stylish, if they are hopping about with no apparent control rather than being confident on a bike with controlled hops and riding, which would the public prefer? Not to be big headed but I have had members of the public as well as parents at comps say I am nice to watch. They have never been shown riding before let alone know when it's good or not. But yeah, I was embarrassed when watching him and suprised he got as far.

plus a year of development and testing prototypes to make sure it's spot on.

That makes no sence. to do bigger hops, its easiest (note I didn't say better) to go to the side of your back foot, that IS the normal way to do it. If you are wanting to ride bmxy with spins and shiz, the it may be best to sidehop towards your front foot as it will help with the natural direction in spins depending on what moves you are doing.

I approve

It's been a while since I have seen riding progress quite as quick as yours. keep it up!

27??? PAH! I aint that wrinkly yet. I am 26 years young.

The Clan were hoping to do a show there but Unfortunately I think that's not happening now. BTW, this bike is wickid!

News to me

I was wondering if anyone saw us

good riding, can't be doing with that edit though!

you many want to purchase some reactions next time you get something from Tartybikes

Love your riding Dan, so big yet so smooth, keep it up!

hell no!

It doesn't, unless you have badly set up brakes and have the tpa all the way in, otherwise it just pushes the pads onto the rim, it's happened to me many times! Plonk the bike in the house/car with the heating on and the brake is fine again. Or just add antifreeze for winter and enjoy the quicker reacting brake over oil

I now ride bikes for a living...weird!

It will have been cracked, but sometimes they are not easy to see, also it could have cracked that morning and with that (bad) frame design it would take much for that crack to rapidly grow

you guys are gonna hate me, though to be fair it wasn't all my fault. I set off at 7ish this morning only to get stuck in traffic on the motorway I was there for just about an hour and was going to miss the session. I decided to turn around, I have a feeling the park would be full of rt kids this time of year. Apologies again!

water is fine, take that from a rider of 13 years.
