thats the way I do it except I hold the grinder in my right hand, and the handle in my left, thats normal for a right handed person isnt it? I tend to hold things a bit weird sometimes I use a metal grinding disk, loosk pretty much the same as the one pictures above

if waynes still going, you can add me to that list (Y)

some good riding Lee, some big stuff, youv'e improved loads, one or two niggles though (not just of this vid, sorry to use you as an example Lee) It seems that people (mostly young mod riders) are just completley sacrifising their style just to go big (or bigger) and always put on crap loud music. I wanna see peoples style, their little quirks and so on. Drop gaps are good'n all, but unless its a unique looking one or somthing the're just plain boring, going from a wall to a pallet might show you can gap, but it doesnt make for a good vid. again sorry to use you as an example Lee

cant wait to see your drop gap mike :blink:

the way I always remeber to turn them is the spanner pushes towardes the back wheel from above for both pedals

I watched the origional "charlie and the chocolate factoy" The other day and I must say its one of my fave films. I just love Willi Wonka in it, he is so random and funny. The songs are ace too and who can hate the umpa lumpas?

I am wanting a 24" to mess about on, but seeing though I have little money, I have set my self a task of building one for under £100 if possible (using some of my old parts, bars, stem etc) I am gonna make my own frame (well, get Iolo to actually weld it for me the jammy git!) I think the local dump is going to become my fave place to get stuff (Y)

it was ok, not the best I have seen. Those dirt trails combined with the little park area was mint though.

whoops, didnt notice that, I think he sells normal ones as well possibly maybe perhaps

someone selling on ebay, from america though

stupid thing doesnt even have my first OR second name :shifty: at least I aint still called ziggy like my brother named me :D

I'll tell you what, I couldnt even ride like that after 4 years of riding let alone 2. I think you should ride stock again, mod is good an'all but I didnt find it very satisfying. Stock is just way more fun to ride.

I ride maybe twice a week, usually on my own but sometimes I'll ride with my two riding friends if they are up for it

they are bad, stay clear

yeah lets make a room!!

what is ping? I have wanted to know for ages ps, I am trials-ali-C

waaay, I wanna go, it sounds ace. Now I just need to persuade Iolo to go :(

I wanna go......is the trials event uci? I hope it is

wooooooo! What an ace event! I still havnt recovered from it yet, I dont have any energy :ermm: That was such an ace event, the sections were ace even if the mods got the rocks and we got whats left (as is always the case) but as long as theres sections to ride I am happy. On friday I got to see vince, cesar canas and dani comas all ride on local rocks, they were a bit good! On the way to the event on sat we almost crashed into ot pi's car, but it was all good. I was one of the first riders off on sunday which meant I got the bad weather, but that didnt affect me too much. My first lap was just crap, fell off on loads of things, my 2nd lap was better, but still got two to many 5s, I blame my arm pump :(" Ended up 10th, I would have liked better, but whatcha gonna do? I was beaten fair and square. I tried to go and watch some other riders, but I never found who I was looking for. I met Martyn as I was waiting for a section, he was as sorted as ever. Shame I filled in my entry forms wrong, otherwise I would be riding most of the rounds this year.

yeah he does, but he only does it backhoping down the road (which is piss easy). I do them mid 6-7ft gaps :) I wanna get a full rotation gap, but I can only do that from small gaps

I try and ride in all weather, but I dont see the point in getting soaked, as long as the ground is wet, then thats good enough practise.

right foot forward here, I sometimes try things left footed, I can do basic things but nothing anywhere near like normal. My party trick is to swap feet mid gap, so I take off right footed and land left.....shame no one tends to notice :)

I have had a go on all those frames, most of my friends have had them so I have had a fair few goes........... I thought they all ride like complete tripe apart from the Monty, which was really REALLY nice. All the others just felt wrong. The monty just felt soooo good, I stole joe oakly's spare bike and I almost gapped nearly 9ft static straight away, the thing just flies! Also sidehops are just soo easy on it. It feels like it requires no effort to put it where you want. I also really approve of having a rear disk on a mod.

saying "swimwear" instead of somwhere is popular on planet Ali.

because your chain is less likley to snap with bigger cogs, so its a peace of mind thing.
