    Bt Raven 8.0

    dont like it at all I hate mega bent top tubes, straight would look far nicer.
  2. it was an exiting draw. I hope the winner enjoys his bike.
  3. I know what the winning number is, I feel so importants. Adam will let you know in due course
  4. well, mine was the tarty communal bike, I will get my own personal one built up when the next batch is in...will have that seat on it though!
  5. VERY nice bike. As for seats. I have a Simtra dirt jump one on mine (ask adam or dave) and I would rather have it than any other seat right now! its a PERFECT size, nice weight and pretty comfy. Well worth getting. see it here
  6. for comp riding its either a grind or a disk, theres no alternatives.
  7. welding up a tarty shopping trolley just for the winner will be like super market sweep almost I am looking forward to seeing who wins and helping build the bike when they come.
  8. good stuff! cant wait!

    Mbuk....

    Not sure how interesting that would be though, theres plenty of rides going down where photos are taken, put on here with people explaining what went down. I cant think an artical would be much different and I dont think any non trials riders would be that interested. I always found one on one articals or a couple of riders in an interesting place makes the best reading. could be Damon on a boat, Danny mac in a church, Danny butler and slinger on some scenic rocks on a beach (with the tide comming in). I would think those would be more interesting to trials riders and non trials riders alike. PS, MBUK pissed me off big time with its coverage of the world champs in fort bill! According to them trials doesnt even exist!, no results, no comments and just one tiiiiiiny pic.

    Does anyone who rides trials read MORE than just the trials section? Yeah, I quite like all types of riding having done dh and dirt jumping in the past. I often read every artical. What do you expect to see in the mag? Good gossip, plenty of parts reviews, photos that impress me (dirt I feel has the better pics though) articals about interesting bikes, people and places. Who do you expect to see in the mag? and WHY? Its cool having the old faces in the mag, they have done a lot for the sport and deserve what they get, BUT I also feel a lot of riders who put in as much effort and dedication into their riding (not just trials btw) dont get any coverage. Its almost like they are being ignored and it does get frustrating.
  11. haha, iolo never got any mention when he went on a brakless stint on more than one bike, doing streety stuff. I look forward to seeing what akkers comes out with though (colours gash!)
  12. higher front ends make the bike easier to bunnyhop and manual plus with a 24" wheel being smaller you need a higher stem/stackers to bring the bars back up to a ridable position.
  13. oh yes! Awesome bike, looks so nice dave!
  14. yep, was my number from a comp, I always forget to take them off. Cheers for the comments guys!
  15. I have one, its pretty cool, can put it up/take it down in seconds and it can take a lot of weight. It only fits one door in my house though (all the others were too deep) fortunatly the only door it fits is my bedroom door where I do my weights anyway.

    Tyke Trial

    wont be there, ankles still too bad to ride
  17. got my weights the other week 140 kg worth! I weigh 10.5 stone last I checked and am 5ft 10 Bench presses I do about 55kg 5 reps and 5 sets (last push is dam hard! also incline the bench so my head is lower and do more sets) squats I do 75kg although I only do it till my knees are parralel, I dont get how people can go down and sit on their heels, I can barly do that with my own body weight and I fall over anyway. Bicep curls, 35kg 5 reps 2 sets if I am lucky Calf raises, 50 reps x 3 sets with 10kg on my back (BUUURNS!) Dumbbel curls, 15kg 15 reps 3 sets pull ups, not many, 10 reps 3 times or so dead lift, 110kg (with belt on, haaaard!) arm dips with feet on another bench, 20 reps 3 sets I do some other moves but I dont know the names. Seems to be helping, I am sure my arms and legs look bigger.
  18. cheers, I just feel that the ridings pretty harsh, I would like to do the moves again but smoother. that 360 endo is sketchy too lol, need to film a 540 next time
  19. tis a czar, not long justices in the country for me to ride I never put this vid on here as I dont think the riding and camera angles were worth using, but I am pleasantly suprised by the feedback, thanks!
  20. started with 4 riders here, then 3 stopped. Gained another 2 riders and then 4 or 5 more, then 4 stopped and now there seem to be about 7 new riders.
  21. yes I would, but only fish and chips as I dont like any other take aways
  22. I love disks, couldnt use anything else. I would rather have a front vee than a maggie, but it depends what mounts you have really.
  23. but now waddys got motorbikes on my brain! Which would help with trials more, a mtb or mototrials bike? a Friend might be selling his gas gas 125 for £800ish or someone else is selling a beta rev 3 2004 for £1300ish. maybe I should just get a really exspensive haircut.
