  1. Surely its easier to just stick said video in the post as a full quality video than have one or the other travel to meet the other one just to prove a point?
  2. Me To be fair, this thread is just going to turn into a bitching fest. I think if i was sponsoring someone and their video was called up as a fake i'd want to see the full DV quality version of it so i could put the matter to rest. If i sponsored someone using a video that isn't them riding i wouldn't want to look like fool if it ever came to light.
  3. Make yourself a high jump pole and start clearing it. You'll notice you get to a point where you HAVE to tuck and you do it naturally. Obviously you aren't faking it because you can't tuck after landing I can't sidehop on walls to save my life, but i can happily tuck a 42-43" sidehop over my plastic poles on my lawn.
  4. I do know one thing... ben can't measure stem sizes to save his life
  5. Well this is childish on everyones part. Take it up on msn, not here.
  6. Okay, its all been drilled now.... after lots of hard work and many snapped drill bits. Here's some pics of it Built together before i got the metal neatened up. Some tidying Attached to the bike Seems to do the job so far. I can kick it really hard and it just pushes up and returns to place as soon as my foot comes off it. Just need to neaten it up, trim the bolts and sray paint the end sections black.
  7. Your home isn't IN town I'll be going for my full course, though havn't sorted accomadation yet. I'm have a word tomorrow see about what halls places are available and if theres nothing i fancy i'll look for a house somewhere.
  8. Quick and sneaky, like a ninja
  9. Tartybikes, who happen to be viewing the thread now At a guess i'd say it will be fine
  10. That place is kids-30's. There were groups of kids who were 14-15 there, staying in caravans
  11. Spokes and a rim. Its called lime green, you didn't expect that to be the same green as standard green surely?
  12. Someone stayed at smugglers haven
  13. At a guess, benjo was so excited about being able to help he didn't realise it was so long ago
  14. I wanted a big fat screw that was 5mm same as all my other allen key bolts
  15. What?! Almost exactly a year ago that i did that bodge... and its still going strong today Though i am now building a new tensioner :$
  16. yeah as soon as bigman got his shimano booster on his brake was silent. Should be the same with yours.
  17. Ha ha, good one mark Yes, i can tell a house spider when i see one. Besides, it lives under the fireplace.. not in the corner, and theres only one not 10.
  18. Theres loads of us already here Me, boumsong, nozmeister, ben, petrum and patt donnovan will all be here so count on a few good riding sessions. You applied for halls? I left my halls application and loan applications very late and so its 50-50as to whether i'm in halls or stopping at home.
  19. I'm glad so many people liked the video... its been a while in the making To be fair, jonny has nailed some gaps on his new A2 that he just couldn't physically do on the mod despite trying his damndest... expect a new video soon
  20. Bosch CSB 500 RLE. 0-3000rpm's I'll give it a go tomorrow, see if b&Q/machine mart have any drill bits designed for cutting hardened steel, should do the job i reckon. I'll give your way a go too before i go have a look though. Cheers dude, Lovin the B-tension based tensioner

    Pretty cool mate. I hand painted this.
  22. At a complete guess i'd say its to bring back some resemblance of a triangular shaped frame to retain a certain amount of strength for moves like hooks and taps that would be reduced if the top and down tubes were joined together like they would be if both tube continued on their angles from the seat tube to the head tube. EDIT: Or it could be completely the opposite case and the two tubes being together would be much stiffer so any flex from moves like hooks and taps would be absorbed mostly by the headtube... and seeing as theres a giant hole in the headtube its probably not going to be strong enough to withstand that. So there we go, its either to add strength or to add a point of flex. Glad i cleared that up
  23. Heres a very small selection of the ones from leicester. Only took photo's as i had the camera handy at the time. From where boumsongs standing to the bench... bit of a distance. Then from the same bench your landing on to the floor. Its bigger in real life than it looks in that picture. From wall to bench again! All sorts of sizes on this. Take off on the big thing on the left, land on the blue container on the right
