but the video templates that he tells you to download don't work anymore so the settings can't be used, i get annoying white lines following anymovementwhen i do everything else but use these templates.

Maybe you should have used the actual song instead of the remixy demo track style version of it, the actual song is so so so much better. I thought some of the moves pulled off in this vid were pretty damn awesome so good job in that respect guys, keep it up!

Riding levels in this vid are better than the last one and the editing has gone up in the world as well. :- heres the link to the folder Link and heres the link to the video Link (you need to right click and "save target as" this link) let me know what u think then... please :P

So Your friend owes someone money. The person that is owed the money said he'd forget about the £125 if ur mate swapped his profile wheel for a crappy onza one. Now your mate wants to know how much the bike would be worth with the crappy onza wheel? Bit crazy (Y) but i understand now I have voted my answer as well

I live in syston which is only a few minutes away from leicester. I can easily get a train to loughborough and nottingham, and i know of several other people who could join us as well.

The names of things definately do vary depending on where you come from.. some kid moved near me and he calls pedal hops "skippy's" which gets very annoying, plus he's an arrogant cock so i won't be going riding with him again. To actually name some tricks: X-ups... X-up Drop Offs Barspins manuals 180's 360's front wheel hops abubaca's & fufanu's (bmx names here vecause i don't know what they're called in mountain biking) Some techniques are: Sidehops peddlehops static gapping rolling gapping gapping to front wheel wheel swaps wheel repleacements I can't actually think of any others... :turned:

cheers. it wasn't a direct link but i got to the page you meant. this disc looks awesome, like something off aliens vs predator. There is just one other question.How much and where from? I wouldn't want to get in a fight with chavs down your end wayne, If they can have rims for bling rings they must be absolutely huge! (Y) :lol:
-
I think they kinda look alright with the blue frame but i don't think i'd dare ride a pair of them around my area, there just asking for chavs to try and rob them... or try and take the wheel out undo all the spokes and wear the rims around they're waist. (Y) P.S. sorry to be a bit off topic here but does anyone know if that front rotor can be bought seperately in 180mm size?

I bought my hope xc off of someone on t-f and when i got it and looked inside the springs were broken and the axle looked like it had received a mawling from a file and had little notches on the freehub from the single speed kit, so i sent it off to tartybikes and they built my rim up onto it for me and they sent it straight to hope for me so that hope could put a new ratchet in as well. when i got it back they had replaced everything except the hubshell... and by everything i mean even the little coloured end cap that covers the bearings and the silver one on the drive side. They even used blue grease to match my blue hubshell. (N) And of course it was all done for free, with a little thank you note in the box. :lol: I certainly think i will be sticking with my hope for a long time, or at least until i have some spare cash after the new hope pro II t comes out. (Y) (Y)

Oh My Gosh! <_< That was the first video i've enjoyed watching for ages, actually it might be the first video i've enjoyed watching. Nice one dude, i love your riding style... it looks like you and the bike are completely joined together instead of being two seperate things, your riding just flows!

my mates computer did this when i gave him a copy of MAGIX Music Maker 2005 silver. Both drives seemed invisible to the computer but opened and closed when you pressed the eject button. He never managed to fix it and threw the computer in the bin. It was given to him for free anyway. How old is the computer and did it come with any driver installation c.d's when you first got it? There may be a set of drivers on c.d. inside the packet with your xp installation disc (presuming you bought it as a prebuilt computer) if it did try borrowing another cd drive from someone you know and plug that in and use the driver c.d's off of that? If it's less than a year old i would recommend taking it back to where you bought it from they should be able to sort it out for you, and i would not tell them it happened as a result of installing a game either unless they ask you if you installed anything. (it might mean you having to pay for repairs instead of it being under warranty) Don't lie to them just neglect to tell them, something along the lines of I went to use a c.d. in the drive and for some reason the drives weren't there anymore. maybe investing in something like norton goback might be a help in future, if your computer f**ks up you can just restart it and press the spacebar on the norton goback screen before windows starts and it will restore the computer back to a previous date, for example when you last turned it on before it f**ked up. Actually thats reminded me of another option, have you tried using the system restore function thats built into xp, i don't know if it'll work for sure but it might be worth a try. To access it you have to click Start> Control Panel> performance and maintenance> then click the system restore button in the "see also" menu on the left side of the window. this will open the system restore wizard. If you can't manage to make your way through this yourself which i really think you will be able to then choose "restore my computer to an earlier time" and click next. choose the latest date that you have a restore on there BEFORE your c.d drives disappeared and click next. sorry about it being a really long post but i hope it helps, and i hope you get it sorted soon mate.

my mate has one of these and cracked it at the chainstay which may be his own fault as he does have a tendancy to land quite heavy at times (front wheel landings off 5 foot drops etc.) I had a go on it and i really do hate the thing because its so hard to ride. try going for something that you will progress on easier. basebikes TA26 frames would would be a better choice for a beginnner.

i personally thought the bit with the needles was pretty bad, i know the last thing i would be doing in there would be sweeping huge armfulls of them out of the way to find the key. just imagine all them needles poking into your body and why she seems to have very little blood all over her hands from searching through them. I did enjoy it though, seems weird going to the cinema and actually seeing a decent film.

its very plain... there aren't many pictures on there maybe put some interesting pictures at the top of the page or underneath the navigation area. and click here to enter screen are gay... just get rid of it.

Theres actually an article in one of the computer magazines that have come out this month and they make a gaming pc for under £500 and i think it was a pretty decent computer as well. they even tell you the cheapest places to get all the parts from as well. It would definately be worth a look at as it should be in any decent newsagents. And you can always got to somewhere like whsmith and find the magazine, read the article then write down the names and prices of the shops they list. people always do that in my local whsmith and no-one gives a shit, one of my mates works there and she says that people will easily spend 30 minutes reading and walk out with nothing.

I'm also another vote for a streety styled base TA26 purely magical to ride. everyone tells me to get a longer bike but i just love this one so i'm gonna stick with it till it breaks, which now i've said that will probably be next week.

From the album: My beastly base

thats how my bike is looking at the minute. (Y) it now has blue hope QR skewers as well

a lot of it is in the head movement as well. i couldn't do it at all then i was told to start on a wall about 2 feet high then get my front wheel on. i use both brakes to do them and i have my front foot nearest the wall (i know its wrong but i can't help it). The basic thing i was missing was "the head flick" as you get used to them you don't do it as much but when i first tried the head flick i did it straight away everytime. when your front wheel is on the wall you need to crouch down and get your head really far down near your front wheel, when your ready flick your head up really fast and jump straight upwards pulling the bars up then pushing them out in front of you. apparantly its something to do with the added momentum that the head flick gives you, try it you'll see what i mean. it might really give you neck ache if you go over the top with them and keep doing them over and over again, i sure got neckache but after a while your body will find it easier and you won't get neckache anymore. hope it helps

yeah you can thats no problem. if you want all your gears to work then i would suggest you change into the biggest rear cog (gear 1) then push your mech arm upwards so the chain goes slack and just have a look at how many links you need to take out. i'll get a pic of mine for you in a minute Edit: heres the picture of how close mine runs another idea if you don't mind not having full functionality of your gears is to lock your rear mech out. I never used gears 1,2 or 3 so i shortend the chain so it was nice and short in my riding gear and my chain always slipped off from my biggest gear because the chainline was so far out so i only had gears 4-7 working anyway. I locked my rear mech out and it doesn't clank rattle or bounce on my frame anymore and i can still use all of my working gears. if you want to lock your mech out you'll need to do the following undo the rear mech from the mech hanger spin the C clip round (the little c shaped clip around the threaded bit of you mech, where it screws into the hanger) then get a screw driver an pop it off lift off the little bit with your b-tension adjustment screw in it and your spring should boing out (it might not make a boing noise but just fly out) replace the metal bit (with the b-tension screw attached to it) with a washer or 2 depending on how many you need for your mech to correctly tighten to the hanger place washers over the mech axle and start screwing back into the frame just before it is fully tightened you'll need to work out what position your mech needs to be in, just keep trying until you find the right place for it to be able to shift through the gears properly (you'll need to put it in place and tighten it then try shifting gears and undo and adjust it accordingly) once its in the right place do it up fairly tight and your sorted if you decide you want the spring back in the mech it is VERY hard to put back in as its so fiddly. i personally will buy a new mech if for some daft reason i don't want it locked out anymore, but i love it so i can't see it happening. also as a point of reference the mech in my picture above is locked out and the space between the mech and my chainstay is about 2 & 1/2 - 3 cm

yeah i e-mailed them in spetember and they said just after christmas.. most likely late january. so it looks like this should be it then.... hopefully. an actual release date!

Was Wondering When I'm Ever Going To Get Validated...
Krisboats replied to maggins's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
No it doesn't I was validated in a week, admittedly it wasn't as busy back then. Just make sure that you only post things WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. Its quite easy to notice when you don't have a clue about what your saying but you thought you would post anyway. just hang in there, if your good enough to be in the validated group you will be picked.. eventually. -
i would change the frame first. one of the lads in my villiage has bought one, but he doesn't really ride trials on it (weird i know!) i don't quiete know how but he's managed to put a hole in his fram on his right chainstay near his bb. he said his chain slipped off but it looks more like it slipped off then he held it and tried using it to saw through the frame. its basically big enough to fit the end of my finger into. i wouldn't buy it because of how thin the metal is around there. looks mega feeble. plus i don't really like the way it rides.
-
i don't really like it mate sorry. the frame doesn't look right the way the front triangle is super large and the rear chainstay triangle has really thin tubing. it makes it look super weak. I also don't like the forks or the short stem, and the red bash ring looks kind of out of place. but i can tell your happy with it and thats all that counts really isn't it? :P i hope this one has a less attractive look to theives!
