  1. How Many Tricks On One Ramp? - please Note Bmx

    in Videos

    Posted

    Hi Guys;

    Came across this little beauty, was just nice to watch how many variations of moves the riders could pull on one ramp.

    I try to use the same basis when I ride - I can happily spend hours at one bench thinking of ways up and down, across and over......

    Be nice to see a trials video produced in this way......

    I shall begin the filming :)

    Regards

    I love it! is that the long or short?

    Looking at the price, I think I might be getting one of these fairly soon :)

    It's the short model. Can't be done with long frames, too unresponsive.

    Darren's got normal sized hands, but for some reason (and I've argued with him about this on numerous occasions), he only holds the bars with half of his hand! I've never been able to ride his bikes because of how close to the end of the bar his brakes are...

    EDIT: Happy Birthday by the way Dazzler!

    Thank you muchly fella. I've ridden like it for years, and doesnt really bother me :)

    Ben - you still in Sheffield??

    Old People Moaning;

    Another little tanget I'm off on here......

    Every argument with an old person refers back to the war!! And you don't pay taxes to repair that wall . . And you probably don't work . . etc

    I never get angry when I'm being had a go at - Staying calm often makes them worse! And it's funny to see them boil :)

    I try to explain I'm 28, have been working since 16, and I probably pay more tax than them! So yes I do pay for repairs to wall. I help my parents shopping, give friends lifts, give way at zebra crossings, hold doors open.....

    BUT OH NO.........

    Mr Old Man can't and won't accept this... He's right and Im wrong.

    That's when I generally get bored and turned around and say to him...... or her.....

    "I'm sorry, I don't speak a word of English"

    Yep Echo Pure 09

    It's from the batch Tarty recieved on Friday. They haven't had the chance to put any photo's up on their website yet.

    My only grumble is it has no mounts for cables, but besides that it's lovely.

    Afternoon All;

    I invite you to view my 2nd Girlfriend, 2009 Echo Pure Short.

    It is displaying a find selection of parts, Magura's, Try All Coco, Echo Urbans, Echo Cranks, DMR Pedals, Trial Tech Bars and Bashplate, 74 Kingz, Maxxis and Continental Tyres.

    When she's ridden, she is flicky and responsive, and it's fun having magura's again. Weighs next to nothing, but strong as a mother in law.

    Thanks to Adam and Stan at Tarty for fantastic customer service.

    This is the bike I will be competing for Think Bikes on in 2009, so I'll see you all on the comp circuit.

    Afternoon all.....

    Right I know this is me getting on a pedestal so to speak, but it's been bugging me more and more recently, that I feel I have to say something to see if I'm on my own on this........

    I spend up to 4 hours a day driving for my work, and there's not one, but 2 main things about drivers on the raods that really grinds my gears

    1) 40 MPH DRIVERS - NO matter what the speed limit - 20,30,40,50,60,70mph, the only speed these drivers know (Normally old couples in Fiat Panda's, Vauxhall Corsa's,etc) is 40 mph. They never speed up on a long straight to the national limtit, even though there are no obstructions, nor do they slow down in school zone's,etc. They brake about 7 years before any corner, causing a ripple effect with cars laging behind into 2027, and then they have the nerve to flash or beep you if you overtake!! I'm sorry but it's people like this that cause accidents, cause they wind other drivers up - If it's safe to do 60, then bloody do it!!

    2) MIDDLE LANE HOGGERS - I spend a hell of a lot of time on the motorway for work, and even more annoying than the 40'ers are these people. Normally going slower than the slow lane, nothing will ever move these people from the middle lane! - This is even if the left hand lane is empty!! The rules of the road clearly state that middle and right hand lanes are for overtaking only!! Whatis with these people??? God forbid if you flash them to tell them to move!!!!!

    Pedestal movement over and done with! It justreally grinds my gears!!!

    Anyone else feel the way I do??

    Maybe we could start a " You know what really grinds my gears?" thread???

    Regards

    Darren
