  1. Yes Seriously though - I've never practiced it, because it's so hard... and I think most others are the same? Can't believe how competent you are with your wrong foot!
  2. Nice little slide at the end of that video Nick, was a perfect FWD corner entry from the looks of it, just needed to bury the throttle once you had started getting the opposite lock on what tyres did you have on? Looked to have plenty of grip
  3. That was bloody impressive! Nobody seriously hurt Alex, but some pretty sore muscles etc.
  4. Was really lucky to miss this crash... I'd only overtaken this chap the corner before: 7 involved, 5 cars needing new chassis
  5. And a photo from the weekend...
  6. Me Because most people immediately think 'wheelbase' when anyone uses the word 'long' or 'short' in the same sentence as 'bike'. From memory the BB to bars dimension on the Arcade is longer, but the wheelbase on the Skye is longer. So which bike is longer?
  7. Well they are and they aren't. The wheelbase is short, but the cockpit is pretty long (steep head angle and short back end) - which is the important bit IMO, you don't hang onto your wheel axles when riding
  8. Before. Everything Mark has said was a joke, by the way
  9. Lots of fun First time I've seen a GoPro used 'well' in a trials vid too, nice work!
  10. I'd get it looked at under warranty, definitely. Skipping is a sign something's not right, and the skipping will be damaging it.
  11. Haha http://www.willitblend.com/
  12. A rumour has come back round to us that Mark was sacked from TartyBikes for selling parts to a rider 'on the cheap' during a weekend where they rode together. I'd like to make it clear that this is completely fabricated - Mark parted with TartyBikes on very good terms and we still work with him, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, on various media-related projects. I don't understand why anyone would make this sort of stuff up, but wanted to set the record straight in case anyone has got the wrong idea. Cheers all, Adam

    2014 Echo?

    They haven't really - it's just a slight modification from the 2013 ones, so we needed to name them differently to make sure customers get the right stuff. Trials companies don't tend to bring out yearly models, they tend to make rolling changes when it suits.
  14. To be fair, they look awesome for 1999-2000. They'd have been pretty advanced in comparison to the shit we were riding at the time!
  15. Hopefully you won't manage to get all the way down to the rear tyre, or that will hurt Cheers for coming down, was good to meet you! I have a feeling, if you carry on riding in the rain, you'll be after a grind or some grinds soon... Enjoy and thanks again!
  16. That was really cool - bike swapping mid-line for the next video
  17. Is the top jockey wheel pushing the chain into the rear sprocket? Pics might help.
  18. First move of brakeless sidehop to chain, whaaaa?
  19. This may sound stupid - but - does it have a separate clutch reservoir or does it use the same one as the brake circuit? On my MX-5 it's a separate one and I once tried to use the brake reservoir to bleed the clutch (fail) which gave exactly the same symptoms you've just described!
  20. I've been looking into stuff like this recently, from what I can tell it would be impossible... But don't rely on that!
