Some pretty damn good stuff in there. For how old he is and how long he's been riding, there's definately a lot of potential there. Keep it up! (Y) Rich

...i think I just cracked a rib laughing when I saw that... Rich

Very swish, really good technique and all. (Y) Oh, and the bail was rather amusing... :P Keep it up Rich

After having extensive chats with the council unfortunately this really doesn't look as though its going to happen. It could if I had a lot more time to give to it but I really haven't. To get this kind of stuff done you just have to sit and talk someone through absolutely every step of the process before they even consider the notion of spending any kind of money. Theres just a whole lot of red tape and paper work surrounding the idea and I have neither the time nor patience to go through with it. Thanks for your support in the matter though, and if the idea does get off the ground again you'll know. Thanks again Rich

Nothing major, but for the last couple of days I havn't been able to see anyones avatar pics or any emoticons, only the URLs for the emoticons. I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this problem and if it was a general glitch in the forum or if its just my computer playing up... Not driving me nuts as its only a few pics and smily faces, but if anyone could shed some light would be nice to know whats happening. Cheers Rich EDIT: May sound very, very stupid, but everything appears to be working now. Please feel free to ingnore me...

The video of Tim rolling that out which I filmed should be out soon as part of a bigger video. Was absolutely sick... Rich

Will have to go against the flow and say Exeter. Has some of the coolest arcitecture, and I'm getting bored of bristol, although it has a lot of stuff. Rich

Fancy dress, trials riding and (I hope) alcohol? Hell yeah... Rich

Best bits of the day: Racing Tim through the fountains. Wiping out IN the fountains. Denying all responsibility in Subway. Watching Tim roll out the brick arch by the waterfront. Seeing some of the most confident trials riders in the UK completely lost for words, after the phrase, "We're all 15..." Worst bits: Having the urge to knock Hobbsie out everytime he started singing. Watching Phill cripple himself after riding for all of five minutes. Getting blamed for making a mess in subway... T'was a good day, will have to do it again soon. Rich

If someone feels like explaining how to use ftp to me then I'll put up a tv.isg.si link. I'm so bad with computers... Rich

Some form of Mavic disc rim I usually find works really nice, and I have to say an avid with XTR lever. They just run beautifully. Rich

Leeson 505D15C, possibly available late 2006, depends if I can rub Clive the right way... It's even better now the brakes bedded in with the M4 rotor. You coming to the indoor round? (if it ever happens...) You can have a proper go then... Oh, and you have no idea how many takes it took to get that tap to manual right. Rowan can do it every time. Me? Once every thirty or so... Rich

Pavlou you mean? Yeah, just been riding with him about half an hour ago. Heres some pics of the bike as it is now, i.e, beautiful. New rear rim (Rhyno Lite instead of D521) new pedals (club roost) michelin comp 24, M4 rotor instead of the standard avid, torsion bar's been taped up to match the rest of the frame, new leeson/pashley forks, anda few dents and scratches. Loving it. Rich

Thats how it looked when I got it, and if you give me a few minutes I'll get up a pic of how it looks now. Rich

Very cool stuff, how does it ride in comparison to the Levelboss? Is the fifth pic just chilling out or a couple of seconds post failed line? :) You should definately get a video out on that beast. Rich

Its weird, but a lot of people I've met seem far too ready to reject the idea that a disc can lock better and harder than a magura. My avid(s) perform better than any rim brake I've used and I just hate that honking noise most maguras have to make to acheive the same kind of power as a totally silent disc. Yep, just normal pashley 26Mhz forks with a heavy duty disc mount and brace done by clive (with Leeson graphics as well to match the frame). Best forks I've ever used. Thanks for all the comments, glad eveyone liked it. :) Rich

D15C = DISC in Kris Leeson Speak. Same as L335ON 81KES, Kris always used to play around with numbers and letters to make up names and stuff. My frame is a unique (to Leeson) disc frame with specially designed seat and chainstays. I just chose to call it the D15C, because thats what Kris called it. Rich

Just felt like showing off the new D15C frame from Leeson but havn't really had enough time to make a fully editied video. Eengoedidee Link About 3 and a half minutes, about 34megs, a little natural at a quarry near me and some street riding in bristol and taunton. Full editied video on its way in time (read: before Christmas...) Enjoy, all comments/questions welcome. Oh, and cheers to Alex (Ashton_Rider in new members) for filming me. Rich

Was thinking it was Mr. Hermance on a new Koxx frame of some discription... :angry: Cheers Felix Rich

Very cool stuff, seemed like such a relaxed atmosphere, nothing like the other world comps I've seen. And whose the guy at about 3:11 into the semi-finals video, sidehopping from the log ladder onto the platform? Rich

Are there 2 zoo video 25's? I've got one of Craig riding natural and another of Ben Trider, both called Zoo video 25... :huh: Rich

See if you can find an XTR booster and drill it for four-bolts. Easily one of the best boosters there is and look lovelly. Rich
