  1. dam, I was saving those dacade things for my next vid Good rider, not quite as acomplished as danny mac, but the filming and editing was sweet too. (PS, why does everyone footjam whip the wrong way?)
  2. Ali C

    Czar 24"

    I like the colours, but the wheels are still too small
  3. I think it has character, I rode it recently and it was pretty sweet! Good for bunnys and manuals
  4. That was ACE, a really good vid of the week. I really enjoyed the week, I completely forgot my crank fell off lol, the bands were ace, the people were ace, more people need to go next year!
  5. narr, a booster stops the actual pivot posts flexing out thus making the holding power a million times better
  6. I got my first car when I was 21, it was a daihatsu hijet (small van shaped like a loaf of bread). it was only 1000cc, but I could fit 2 people and two bikes and stll sleep in it with the seats folded flat. shame the engine went after 6 days
  7. not if I want to roll stuff though I love front vee for a lot of stuff, but its just too loud for general riding. I plan to plonk it on for selected comps though
  8. sd7 lever = win. the xt has some crappy speedial equivalent that involves romoving spavers with a screw driver, this makes the brake have a "staged" feel and is plain inconvenient
  9. I like the normal looks, I have stopped wearing my skins as I feel like I should be in the circus or something
  10. you want to have your weight back while running up to the wall finally transfering your weight forward in the final stroke
  11. what he said I am running a salsa booster from 5 years ago, it would be nice to have a decent booster available now
  12. When I do an up to front, I prefer to do it from pedaling straight to front rather than hopping off the rear wheel. Basicly, as your front wheel comes up, just before you put the main hop in, start moving your body weight forwards, you want to have your chest over the stem with your arms bent (like your trying to kiss the front wheel. Land with your wheel just above the edge and let the rear wheel come up....just before the wheel is at its highest, let go of the front brake and push the bars forwards, your wheel should land where the front was.
  13. Ching Plenty of info on their site, this was just a brief intro!
  14. cheers for the comments lads Ben is amazing at editing, it took me a few views to notice all the little details, big thanks to the guy! Looking back, there are some things I am pretty happy with in there, but there are also things that make me cringe.
  15. I can both confirm and deny that rumour. We have a set of screw on cranks here BUT they do not have enough threads to be strong enough for trials, the shape of the forging doesn't allow any more to be machined either.
  16. Same as Ads, although they look totally different! Eagle Claw rear and Try-All front, aka the best tyre setup it's possible to run on a mod*. *Fact.
  17. Before TNN pads came out I used to run random pads. I rather liked one plaz (good in the dry, ace bite but lacking hold) and one koxx brown (good in the wet, good hold but not as bitey as the plaz). On my inspired I had one black pad set up close to the rim for modulaton and an Atomz pad further away for power when I needed it.
