  1. His names simon, he seems an alright chap to talk to and is always helpful, he's helped several people on here with their ankles and gave me loads of excercises to do when i did mine in and its loads better now. I did have to try and take photo's of my feet though but you seem to have already done that. I also remember him saying his first consultation with trials riders is free because we're crazy Seriously, free first consultation... you can't say no if its free.

    My Ride

    I think its a very very special person that built his frame up. All i can say is i know i couldn't do anything even remotely like that, do you sometimes wonder whether you've made it strong enough though? I mean, is there ever a point where you think "s**t, i don't think i've made it strong enough to do that? Looks damn nice todge, you're gonna have to come riding with us so i can have a go on it. And i'll promise to make sure youre not behind me if i 180 off anywalls :$
  3. It looks very nice indeed, For a dirt jumpy style picture get a shot from the rear of the bike... i dunno why they just look soooo much more like jump bikes from that angle. Get a monster of a disc on the rear... like this one It does look like a monster of a bike though, and i love your neat looking chain line.
  4. They freeze on mine too, then the file stopped responding. Then it caused a problem with media player and then windows had to recover itself from a serious error. Then i tried to play it again and the same thing happened... managed to get it working using nero showtime... but even then it was a bit touch and go. My friends computer was the same.
  5. Is the footage jerky once you've exported the video as an avi file or in premiere's little preview window thing? If its the preview window then the most likely thing i can think of is that you haven't gotten premiere to run through it properly. i think clicking on the video preview area and hitting the enter button on the keyuboard should make premiere run through it qand give you a better quality vdeo. If its jerky once you exported it then i don't know what you're doing wrong, maybe the export settings are a tad off? Is it not possible for your mate to whack them onto another cd in an uncompressed avi format? You'll have no problems with it then. EDIT: I forgot to say that the divx converter is available to download for free off the divx website. At least thats where i got mine from anyway.
  6. Looks like you've put a fair bit of hard work into that, the instructions are clear and easy to follow and the pictures are helpful additions to the instructions. I like it a lot and i'm sure its going to be very much appreciated. For a bit of extra help you might want to place a link to the following site as their guides are pretty good as well but theirs are a lot more specialist.
  7. Funny then how its the chain that the majority or riders use isn't it? £30 for a chain is a joke, i payed £25 for a shadow conspiracy half link chain, which i subsequently never even used, and felt aweful that i'd spent so much on a chain. For single speed... KMC Kool k710 For running gears, or mountain bike cassette rear sprockets.... KMC Kool k810 Nothin else is neccessary.
  8. Yeah ali's right. There will be a point when you suddenly manage to understand something a lot better and it just works despite the maybe the day before you were nowhere near being able to do it. I got manuals the other day and for some reason they seem fine now, i can do nearly four times my previous days ability. You can always force progression, this is harder and will seem like its taking longer but it works. What i mean is go and do something you didn't think youd possibly be able to do and keep trying it. For gapping get some crates and put them in two little stacks. move the stacks so the gap between is what you can just do now but find it a bit of a challenge still. Then move the crate stack a foot away from each other, and keep trying it... this might take hours, days or even weeks but eventually you'll get closer and closer to it and thats when you manage it, ergo you've improved. Try and do the same for different aspects of your riding to see a good overall improvement.
  9. Measured with a tape measure mate. I kick your arse plenty good enough and you can do 50" apparantly!
  10. My tapping method is pedal like a madman, coast for a minute or two and then bunnyhop and hit the wheel at exactly the right time to get me up higher. I can also manual into walls to tap and bunnyhop with a tap as i'm in the air, though these are harder. Despite being able to do it in those different ways my biggest ever tap was 46 inches verticle and i've only ever done it one time and using the pedal coast hit and jump method. In fairness though i havent done a tap for a long time now and i can't get my headaround the pedalling malarky so thats not gonna happen.
  11. Well your the only person so far thats managed to round the bolts, your allenkey and to have the grips come loose. That might not be the grips fault, but maybe a bad mechanic blaming his tools? I have used the odi ruffian lock ons with no problem at all and am currently using some lizard skins ones on my jump bike, there is no real difference in quality between the 2 and i would have to say i preferred the lizard skins ones. My original ODI ruffian lock ons wore out ages ago but i'm currently using the same lock on clamp collars to hold my current grips in place a mere 2 years later.. and my bolts still aren't rounded. Positives: Clamp well and are easy to remove/fitBolts are strong and clamps can take a beatingyoure grips wont move in the wet like other non-lock ons i've had.Negatives: Feel very thick, which some people dont like about grips in trialsmine used to creak if they were loose, but you know what to do if they creak... tighten them up
  12. iot is if u wanna plauy doom on high setting.. that thing uses 300mb ish of ram on full settings. turn off some unecesary programs to free up sapce, like quicktime and realpplayer and rubbish like that.
  13. Drunkenedsness is upon me agains. i think i ight have an alochohoilics problem maybe i dunoo, but i didntm think alcoholics could admit it.. therefore i have no prolem or soe shiity like that. Sorru for me swearin or being obscene in this post i am unde rtheinfluence so can get away with it and smaile sweetly at the mods. I dont mean mod riderss i menat the green named people on here, the so calledese increddibley hulks ofd rthe forum. this is one fo the longests sposts i've made all week and its seemifnlt wuite fun. night all of trials-forum... i luuve you all
  14. Okay well dispiute being slightly pissed, a regular occurance for me these days, i've managed to start uploading it to trials shack so all the fans of mr hinchcliffe wont be left without a video. I also hereby apologize for any lack of finger controld wjhilst wrighting this post as i've had way to many beers for me to know whet i'm doing.. god only know how i managed to get an ftp transfer running to trials shack.lol I just hope the damn thing wiorks. I can't weaiat to edit this int the morning to make it mroe comprehensibley. I will edit in a minute once i figur out how tio find my trialds shck folsdert. God i muyst love u guys too much if im trying to eidt this whilst being so drunk my main concern is srwasberryies bon bons. EDIT: Linkaage
  15. A bullet made of ice, it'd hit them and explode into little pieces inside them and then melt away leaving no trace of anything to tie it back to you. For added security you could use volvic to reduce chances of feds narrowing down the water like they could if you used water out of a tap. Failing that a large icicle used as a knife would work i guess. Or throwing them into a pit of molten steel like in the terminator, though thats not really a weapon. There's always things like a chainsaw for the fun factor or a tommy gun to make it a true gangster style murder.
  16. So long as the "few games" you're wanting to play on it are like pinball and minesweeper, maybe the trials construction yard style games at a push. It would most likely do the rest of the things you wanted it to do but that sempron processor is an old one. You might be better off looking at something newer and faster for all the work in like dreamweaver and stuff, though the ram should be alright for you to be chatting to multiple people on msn while using dreamweaver and listening to music. I personally think you should maybe put a little more towards it if you can and look at building it up yourself, failing that maybe a dell pc, but i've always been a little wary of dells for soem reason.
  17. Yeah but on a unicycle the crank is attached in the middle of the wheel not on a bottom bracket which is in front of the rear wheel on a bike
  18. I can vouch for him here. I've seen him make this gap to back wheel and it is huge and its going to be featured in his next video so everyone can see it.
  19. Well i'm with everyone else, a bike not only ways more but is so much harder to sidehop with and if we're going to make this fair you can't count using a front wheel to help with the sidehoppage.. strictly to rear wheel only. Side hops are easier on unicylces you dont have to worry about the seat being in the way because you can push it forwards like this guy has and then you just tuck like normal. Theres no bars to get leverage on, theres no right or wrong way to sidehop you just jump straight upwards. I personally can't even blance on a unicycle for more than 10 yeards or so but theres no way that sidehopping one of those is harder than sidehopping a bike
  20. You, my friend, have obviously never been to nottingham. Paintballs are lethal if you get hit in the eye at 100ft, an air rifle... if mines anything to go on will kill you if your hit in the eye at something like 400feet. If it happens again drop to the floor, crawl to cover and whip out your mobile which already has the local police stations number in it.. give the old bill a ring and say someones shooting at you in a public park. You'll almost certainly get help almost instantly, i guarantee it.
  21. Oops, had a party and kind of got caught in a relationship crisis at about 9.00 this morning. Needless to say i didn't end up going. I wouldn't have had a good time anyway because i've not had any sleep since wednesday night due to coursework cramming and partyage. There's always next time i suppose :$
  22. You're thinking of the wrong kind of naughty stuff. Try more along the lines of something like azureus, bittorrent or limewire etc. illegal download programs. I think if you look at the reply partz left he said it was a "not a p2p sharing program" with a hint of sarcastic wit to it.
  23. Is it the crazy rubber wrap that looks like it goes around your downtube as a bashplate shock absorber?
  24. i have magix music maker 2005 on my pc and it seems alright.. i havn't tried many others though but it seems very much like a windows movie maker style editor but if u want it has extra functions so its not as poor as movie maker.
  25. download one of the brico pack things that were mentioned earlier on in the topic.. like oage 2 or something. Its a windows theme that changes all the folders and menu's etc. when you're bored uninststall it and it'll be exactly as it was before.
