  1. heinz tinned macarroni cheese , now thats discusting!!! it smelled just like cat food, and tasted even worse!
  2. I think they are horrible, so I wont be signing anything
  3. its a pogo stick because if you get that thing all you will ever be doing is back hopping everywhere, you may as well take the front wheel off as it will be just added weight. seriously though, that geo is just AWEFULL!! you wont be able to gap, it will be too good on the back wheel (yes, TOO good!!) and your body postition if you ever have the front wheel on the floor will be like superman flying, farrrrr too streched. the bt raven is much nicer to ride, but there is another frame thats even nicer!!
  4. I loved it, I REALLY like kelly farm, I always have so much fun there. I thought the sections were cool, the red rout looked a little easy, but I thought the yellow was just right. I have a pretty crap first lap and dropped 23 (4 fives!!) but my secong lap was better and I dropped 9 for a totoal of 32. That was good enough for me to get third (to my amazment) and I beat Akkers!!! WHOOOOO BABY I have always wanted to beat him!! shame the trohpys are so small though doesnt really represent how much of an acheivment it was for me.
  5. why why why why why would ANYONE want a ninja???? if you want a pogostick I am sure argos sell some cheaper ones
  6. I like anything radiohead, coldplay, super furry animals, supergrass, blur, the flaming lips, muse etc

    Hope Factory

    yeah it was my falt the bearing went, I was hammering a cassette cog from the otherside of the wheel and the freehub came off, when I put it back on I didnt get the lip seal in place and the freehub wasnt al the way in, meaning the bearing wasnt where it was meant to be. oh yeah, I wouldnt go running there expecting free service, I took money with me as I thought I might have to pay, but they let me off.

    Hope Factory

    I LIKE hope!! went there today, they wern't officially open but they bent over backwards to help me out, they were buisy with other stuff but put that aside and fixed my hub! Well actually, they didnt fix it, they just replaced everything except the shell!! I cant praise them enough!!
  9. I have vids tooooooooo bases crack if you dont use a proper seat tube, but are good cheap frames.......BUT if you want a nicer riding frame, then the ashton is the one to go for!

    my falt for not putting the hub back together right , but even with bits of bearing in the system and sounding like an anglegrinder attacking a rat it still didnt skip.

    hey guys, I NEED to know if hope is open tomorrw (good friday), a bearing has blown in my hub and blasted shrapnel all in my pawls and ratchet causeing all kinds of greif! I am setting off to devon on sat for the british champ round 2 and neew to get the parts replaced. I am about 20 mins away from the factory, so its no bother driving there. cheers guys
  13. my parents are very supportave, my mum took me to trials and would observe for years, my dad doesnt like all the hanging around at comp stuff, but he will drive me places and always asks me how I did at comps and how I could do better next time.
  14. looks harsh, hows the frame done? I recken it will be fine, they are tuff as houses! what chain was it? it wasnt a cirten chain that you got given was it? all I know is I like my kmc chains. (ps, the ashton team bikes have a gold hope theme, thats why mine and porters bikes have bling bling gold whatsits)

    noooooo!!!!! please say it doesnt clash with the euro champs that sucks if it does, guess I wont be goind
  16. the good thing about the hope lever is that the resovoir spins in the body so you can have the lever either side
  17. I used exactly the same hope lever on my maggie and had bad results. I found the 10mm piston just too small, you had to set your pads soooo close to the rim that even the slightest buckle would make it rub, plus the fact that it was spongyer than a chocolate cake even with a booster or two. I would either get a longer bolt with a nut on the end or (prefrebly) get an 04 maggie lever

Anyway, the officer was pleasent and understood why we do it, but said we shouldnt do it in his town it was late anyway and the ride was near its end so we left
