I know exactly how you feel, having sifted through over thirty 90minute tapes in the last six months, usually trying to find just one damn clip or another. No objections to DivX, as far as I know the codec works the same on Media Player and Quicktime. Rich

The other day we were cruising around an industrial estate in Taunton looking for pallets, and the easiest thing is when you see a great big stack, go and ask whoever owns them. About half the people we asked were more than happy to give us a dozen or so, some for reasons like they couldn't use EU standard pallets, or a few had the odd broken slat which they needed to get rid of. One guy said for every broken and buggered one we took, we could have two good condition blue pallets. Its just a case of, "see massive stack, go ask bloke with clipboard and hardhat." :bunny: Rich

Leeson and Curtis; continued inginuity and originallity coupled with masterful frame building techniques and real passion. Rich

May have to join you on that one, never ridden swindon before. :wink2: Rich

Looks like a pretty cool ride, will have to come down next time. (Y) A bit off topic, but are people generally going to the DJ comp or the NBR comp, both of which being on the same day? :wink2: Rich

I'm filling out my entry form now. Count me in. :wink2: Rich

As always, amazing stuff Andy, your looking damn good on that python. (Y) And can someone please pull out a few of the pistons, wires and circuit boards holding Dave Marshall together. :wink2: (Y) Rich

ditto what he said (Y) Rich

I remember Jenn took a lot of weird pictures; like Em stroking my beard and Carl giving me a love-bite on my stomach. It was quite a surreal day really... :wink2: (Y) Rich

I could have sworn it was nick. :wink2: Lookin' good on the 24" fred, get a video out... Rich

That was f**king nuts. (Y) Seriously, how come you aren't chasing massive sponsorship from Koxx or something?! One of the best videos I've seen in a while. :wink2: Rich

Clive won't even tell me what its going to look like... Pics up as soon as I get it. :( Rich

Anyone? :(

I got what you were saying, just thought it'd be worth pointing it out to anyone who actually thinks its worth putting all their effort into trying to ride with a differnt foot forwards because its what most people do. Anyhow... :( Oh and for me the whole sidehopping onto the mech thing makes no differnce, I run discs, so I'm screwed either way. :) Rich

Just spoke to Clive yesterday; Look out in the next couple of issues of MBUK for the 609 with crazy special headtube design. Apparently its the same kind of model which he started to think about after James (Porter) snapped his frame from doing front taps, and now its finally been finished. Can't remeber whose got it but I'm sure you'll see it round soon. Plus my somewhat different double disc machine should be finished within a week/10 days... Its gonna be good... :( Rich

Hey sue, Dan Campbell from Salisbury was taking a whole load of pics at the abingdon ride, which were up here a while ago. I'll see if I can find them. From what I understand, as soon as Jonny finds an alternative hosting site to Trials-Shack. :( Rich

And Neil tunnicliffe, TRA and Chris Akrigg are all left foot forwards. It's six of one and half a dozen of the other. I'm left foot forwards, but can get myself out of a tricky situation with my right foot forwards if I need to. Rich

Have read most but not all of the thread, so I don't know if this ones been asked yet; first song from the nopogo koxx days vid, 'kd-lo'? Rich

I understand, and have adequately bitch-slapped Tuppers for moving the dates. If I can be there Andy, I will, most likely doing red 26". Rich

Could you not just get and extra long bolt, push it all the way through the mount until it comes out the other side and then put a bolt on and tighten it up? Would work just as well as having normal threads. Rich

I really REALLY want to come to this but its on the same day as the DJ round in devon. Do you think you and Matt (Xdream) can try and shift dates around a little, as I know there will be a load of us from down here who'd love to enter, but if the comps are on the same day most of us will just go the DJ round as its so much closer. Rich

you wish. I may be regarded as a half decent pesron/rider, but you put some of that old sour mash in front of me and I'll have it under the table. B) Just kidding :P , looking forward to meeting a fellow conisseur of the art of sevear boozing. :lol: :o Rich

A much as arguing over the teminology of tricks gets me off, I think we can agree that whatever either of those tricks were they are, absolutely, unbelieveble, almost inconceiveable and we should be so lucky to see something so amazing for only 23pounds for a day ticket? Just a thought. Rich

Jonny and Nick were both filming as was I. The footage I filmed will be released in SWTC Volume II, coming in a couple of months, but definately look out for Jonny and Nicks stuff, they're just a little bit better than me at this kind of thing... :lol: Rich

Nice to see Nicky G-Unit kicking some ass, and very almost and observers face... What frame was Vincent Hermance riding? Was it just a blue XTP? Very cool stuff, nice one. Rich
