I dunno how you guys wear tyres out so quick (Y) I have slow reezay front and rear, had them for a good few months now and they are only really showing wear now
-
You do realise straight blade forks have the same rake as curved ones? I really reccomend pashleys, I think the curved fork really suits 24" and they are as strong as an ox

I LOVE my 661 duallies, I really rccomend them. Best ankle protection out, ace sole and they do up nice and tight! I really want some five 10 shoes though, when my duallies wear out I will get some

I did indeed do it. I removed the inner walls and got them welded, Fatmike kept the walls inplace and ran bolts though it, solves all the problems of heat, but is heavier. I dont think its really worth doing, not when the new echo rim is comming out, 48mm wide and supost to be as hard as alex rims, so should hold grinds better than current wide rims. I also used a sun doublewide, they are pretty decent, holds grinds really well, but the angled braking suface can be a pain for setting pads up with, I also flat spotted mine really easily, but it did have big holes in it.

I find scales much easier to weigh stuff with than toilets :)

26lbs for my bike, it would way a lot less if I was riding street instead of comps, oh the ironing

My Brother is a doctor in chemestry. at his first job he was earning 27K. Its VERY hard though, the stuff is soo complex I dont understand anything he says about it B)

WTF!! Totally random topic :) I actually think I look like a young shaun connery, very shexshy. There is a possiblitiy me and monkey were seperated at birth, but when questioned, my mum went out to water the plants......in the rain.......in the dark :D

I wasnt sure wether to put the clothes thing, but I never said they were bad clothes, just looks like they are too small (you can see his ankles and stuff). I cant really talk though, all my clothes are knackered and non fashionable :)

my dad was a great runner in his day, he used to run 20 miles every other day before work and then again after. He could do a marathon in 2hours 20ish (I think) I tried running, but I dont enjoy it, I would much rather go for an xc or road ride.

I had one, I got it as a 2nd fun street bike. I got the frame off ebay for £11 (Y) I have cut it all up now as I am modifying it to be a smaller 24" rig.

Advantages / Disadvantages Of 8mm Bolts For King Rear Hubs
Ali C replied to Ingram's topic in Trials Chat
I love mine, I snapped 2 normal axles then got the heavy duty ones, not had a problem yet. There are a couple of disadvantages though: I have to completley unbolt my rear mech every time I take my wheel out as the bolt heads wont clear it. I had to modify my control to actually get the rear wheel in. needs an 8mm allen key to get wheel out -
that particular stem never came in 31.8mm clamp, but the newer model does. Titec also do the size you want, as well as hope.

I dont know what to think of this vid..... I liked some of it, but there are some VERY petty things I dont like. I like your riding, very bmxy but you still go and ride natual, good on you! Quite a lot of the things in the vid is stuff that I wanna do but my bike isnt suitable. I wanna do all the spinny suff, manuals, fufanus etc. The stuff I dont like is just me being petty, but it just annoys me. I HATE it when riders have their hands inboard of the bar ends, so you can see the bar sticking out. That aggrivates me highly. Also your clothes, have you grown out of them or somthing? They look waaay too small for you. (I told you I was being petty) Finally, the video quality was poor, it was hard to get a clear picture of what you were doing, it was mainly the jerkiness that did it.

Call of duty, what a crap game! I completed it in a day, I was shocked and amazed when the credits came up, I thought I was only about half way through. Splinter cell, the game was alright I guess, but again it was far too short, I cant even remember what happens. Half life 2, pretty crap game, although the gravity gun is awesome, wish you could get the powerful virsion all the way though instead of right at the end. crap ending too, the first game was waaay better when you went into a different dimention, and it had better levels and puzzels. THUG was also one of the crappest games I have played, no decent secret characters, crap levels, crap graphics crap story. This is skating, it doesnt need a story! give me some decent games like Far Cry any day

there arnt many shops up on the moors where all the rock are, so I have to take a bag with water in. I did have a camel back, but it got a leak, that was about a year ago and I havnt been bothered to do anything with it, they are too much hassle.

dmr alloy wing bars have a simular shape to azonics and you can pick them up on ebay for about £12 new

hmmm, I am gonna be different and say I didnt like it that much. The riding was pretty good, but it didnt blow me away (although I did like the uphill tap, gaps across the thin bollards and big tap to manual at the end) The main thing that spoilt it for me was the music, you may have wanted to put it on for cheesyness, but I just think it just ruined it for me. thanks for putting the effort in and making it though

this is a toughy, both bikes are ugly (though I have seen some pretty nice pitbulls) I have had a go on both but I only did basic stuff so I cant comment on how they rode. If I had to choose one I would go for the pitbull. I like a little bit of bb rise, the bt either has no rise, or super high rise (which I hate with a passion!). The pitbull has 20cm of rise I think, purfect.

What Is Better Stock Or Mod For A Beginner?
Ali C replied to earsy104's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
go stock!!! they ride, look nicer and are just plain awesome I dont understand why a light, easy bike is a good beginners bike? I would want a heavier bike, not only will it be stronger, but it will build your technique and strength more than a mod will, really helping for the future. -
wayne, I might need a lift, Iolo doesnt know wether he's going or not. I'll try and find out tonight. I could meet you at have again like last time.

no indoor stuff up here, anyway, us northeners are tough enough to ride in the winter, snow an all :)
