the song used in the Natural video is indeed called Youngers, which was written and performed by a guy called misty dubs of True Tiger, and urban/underground group in West London one of my mates at Uni knows. If you have a look on their website (www.truetiger.co.uk), you may be able to find some more info, but they're a very small yet talented group so you may have some difficulties finding their music on the web. Add me to MSN and I can send you some of their stuff if you like. Karsonlevoret@hotmail.com Cheers Rich

61 rajis's James. Tight and elasticy, super comfortable, and they're pretty good at keeping your hands warm; was riding dartmoor the other which was about 1 degrees celcius early in the morning, and as soon as I put the Raji's on my hands warmed up a treat. Rich

We've been through it all before mate, 203 all the way. :S And yeah, CRC seem like the men to deal with, good prices and fantastic customer service. Rich

Not kidding, but that actually brought a tear to my eye. I'm so happy people liked this vid. I don't know about the past 11 minutes, I think tv.isg.si is having a few problems, but hopefully in a few days it'll sort itself out. Rob, we will definately be riding together soon. Havn't ridden barney in nearly four years... Thanks again. Rich

Hello! Just got back in from College...erm... thanks everyone! Didn't think the vid would take off so well. I was expecting it to just crash and burn, but then I have watched it about thousand times myself... Dave, cheers for the reply, the doney's video wouldn't have been half as good without all the stuff I filmed of you. :S At the last comp Ol' Man Graves was talking about doing another charity ride thing at Doney's, this time for the Pakistan earthquake, and he said it would be sometime early in December... If I can make it I will, but just riding this time, I spent too much time filming last time... Just checked out the situation with tv.isg.si and it appears that the whole sites down, as I can't get onto it from anywhere, not just my own pages. Whether this has something to do with Volume 2 or not I don't know and honestly can't do anything about it as I can't even get at my account! Erm, someone help! Thanks again for the comments guys, glad everyone's enjoyed it. Rich

Hey all, I’ve been banging on about this video for a while now and here it finally is. Volume2 Tv.isg.si links, 38minutes in total. This film was shot and edited by Rich Pearson (me) and Alex Pavlou (Ashton_Rider in new members [validate? :( ]) The video features footage from all of the last year, from street sessions in Taunton to the Bikeshow in Coventry. Hope everyone enjoys the vid, its taken a year to make so I hope its worth it. Big thanks to everyone who helped make this video happen, and especially to those people who have been up with me the last few nights via MSN helping me get it all sorted. You know who you are. Any comments, good or bad are welcome. :S ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As some people may have guessed by now, SWTC Volume 2 is quite large, so we’ve decided to give someone the chance to just outright win a copy of Volume 2, on VHS, for absolutely free. (The pretty looking face in the pic is me by the way, after being awake for something like 20hours rendering this damn video…) Anyway… All that people have to do in order to have a chance of winning this is to have a look at the still shot below of Bens lady friend Theresa having a go at trials, a shot which was taken from the film, then post on here with a caption they think would suit the pic. We’ll say closing date for entries is November 30th, on which day all of you lot can judge who's caption is the best. Whoever gets the most votes, wins. Simple. Note: This video is NOT for sale in any way or form. Just thought I’d get that out the way before the legal team behind A Perfect Circle throw me in the deepest, darkest hole they can find… Enjoy, Rich Pearson and the South West Trials Crew.

Video 18? :D :P Rich

Having a few probs with 11 mate, keeps saying the files corrupt... Other than that, good work! (Y) Rich

That was awesome. Tony's tap to clean over the wall was mental! Also, if there was a prize for most stupid, unstable thing to gap to, Tony's got a winner with that wooden fence... (Y) (Y) Nice one lads, now get a proper length vid out. :P (Y) Rich

Its rendered as an ISO MPEG-4 Video V1 file and runs as a .wmv, so in theory it should just work with Media Player (Y) (Y) Rich

The idiot didn't remember his gloves, he just nicked mine! (Y) Thanks for the replies people, glad y'all liked it. (Y) rich

Hey, Just finished the video from last weekends Bone Hill Ride. Armastice tv.isg.si link, video name Armastice. 42Mbs, about 3 minutes long. Featured riders; Rich Pearson (Me) - Leeson Clear 660 D15C Steve Sanger - Echo Hifi Andrei Burton - Gu 26" (possibly for sale by now...) Joe Seddon - Monty 221 ti (I think...) Music: Queens of the Stone Age - You think I ain't worth a dollar but I feel like a millionaire. Enjoy :lol: Rich

Loving it Fred. I can almost see the nervous look on Steve Atterbury's face now :lol: . Seriously, all round nice vid, looks way better than on the 20". You coming to Doneys again in December? (another hampshire playday...) See you soon buddy. :lol: Rich

Well I'll just sit down and read the encyclopedia britannica whilst this downloads... Rich

Well, for those people WHO ACTUALLY SHOWED UP TODAY, t'was f**king amazing. Got there as the sun rose, left as it was setting, rode so much stuff and just found so many amazing lines. And as for the weather: 90% of the sky was blue and clear for the whole day (Y) . Best day of riding I've had in about a year. Next time, everyone else needs to show up! Look forward to doing it again soon. Rich

Someone's got X-ups dialled :( (Y) I'm sorry to put it like this steve, but I really do enjoy watching you crash. :P Ace editing and camera shots, and that 180 spin to 180 sidehop to front wheel adn off again at 1.33... :o Keep 'em coming man. Rich P.S. Oh, and I also enjoyed the invisible bike clips at 2.32. :P

If you're his better half steve, I'd hate to see his worse half... :( OK, so by the sound of things I'll be riding dartmoor on saturday, and probably/possibly bringing alex ben tom and/or jack. Should be getting there at around ten. (Y) See y'all there. Rich

The trialskings are just simply about 90% of the reason I ride how I do today. There really should be an award for people who have given so much to the sport and still are. Glad to hear you're all still alive. (Y) Rich

The general problem I found that was the combination of grit, mud and water coating the discs, combined with having to drag the discs quite a lot when rolling down steep drops left my rotors coated with worn aluminium residue from the rotors and took a lot out of the pads. In wet street conditons like when we rode plymouth the other day, the discs locked like a prison door, but the mud and grit which built up inside the calipers at the hampshire comp left the brakes feeling a little on the spongy side and there was a lack of bite. In defense however, I was so cold I was having difficulty pulling on the levers because my fingers would be reluctant to move as much! I've got a few ideas as to how to deal with it next time I'm in those conditions, but we'll just wait and see. Scott was running the mono trials which adjust themselves (basically) so he had less problems than me, but I think I've got that problem sorted now. Rich

Just a note before you try this, although the discs do work well and I love mine, in the pouring rain and mud yesterday, both me and scott wilson were having trouble keeping control of ours (I've got avids and scott runs Mono Trials). But I ran a louise disc on an ES2 for about a year before it snapped so I should imagine it'd last you a while. Rich

I didn't actually make the up to ninty that time, becasue at the moment of taking the picture I was blinded by the damn flash whiteboy was using... Good pics none the less whiteboy, keep it up. :) Rich

Which train station can you get to Fletch? Might be able to make a minor detour... Rich EDIT: Will be going through Salisbury at around 9 tomorrow morning. Catch me on MSN later today if you need a lift and can get a train to Salisbury. (Y)

There is a very good reason why Dave's known as Action Man. And thats why... :blink: Rich

Exactly what I've just heard from Leeson, should be ready for Xmas. Would also put sufficient amount of money on it. Rich

I should be there. But I'm about to go and have some physion manipulation on my ankle so won't be riding too good on sunday. (Y) But will be worth it just to see a few old faces again. :lol: See you all there. Rich
