Dumbass people saying,
He's got no seat
How much is your bike worth?
Can I have a go? I won't knick it!!
You'll break those rocks!!
Can you do a wheelie?
Other things that are funny are general pissing around and people falling off!! You always laugh, then go see if there still alive.

Hey Everyone,
Just a quick post to say hi.
At last im on the net again. So any photos etc you guys want from the summer to now, get on msn and ill send them over, (mainly portsmouth and the IOW crew, the odd southampton)
I will start posting stuff again soon and maybe the odd ride, all part of my quest to find the love again.
A new frame may help when I have the cash.
Laters, H

Just had two cool days of riding at the Fresher's Fayre doing some trials demos on our own little rig and on stage. Was pretty good but very hard work, but riding to dance tracks is ace.
Signed up some more riders so they should be out on sunday too. Just hope the weather stays good so fingers crossed!!
H

Wernt you the person saying that you love rim jams and would NEVER go back to using plaz, heatsink, koxx bloxx? lol
This has learnt you a lesson (Y)
Thats nice man, everyone else says get well soon, there always one!! (N)
Well if your gonna try and take the piss at least get your facts right, I have only ever had normal pads before my rim jams, oh and at the point I bought them they had good reviews, they had not had a problem.
And if anything it would have taught me a lesson, not learnt!! (Y)
Good one!! (Y)

Thats mental, ill give you a hardcore 9/10!!
Unlucky man.

Ouch, that sucks, sorry to hear it :lol:
If one pad snaps/comes off the backing on Maggies, doesnt the other half of the brake still work on the rim, ie: half of the power?
~Gaz
Nah all it does is just push the wheel over a little because the fuild goes to the side with no pad and just pushes it out further than the side with the pad. Think about when you spin the wheel, try stopping it with your finger on one side only and all it does is slow down, but if you grab the whole tyre on both side in your hand you can stop it dead.
It with one it just felt like the brakes werent connected.
Daft question, whos wally?
H :$
-
Yeah its slowly getting better so either way ill be out, just see how goes about actual riding?
Cheers

Were all friends, but nothing like a bit of friendy competition!!
I think i'll be watching mainly, but will rest lots to get my back fixed up!!
H
-
Yeah its a real shame actually because my brakes have been feeling real nice, just the way I like them for them last few months and generally other than snapping I really like the Rim Jams. They have worked way better than normal blocks.
Are there some that work/feel similar when braking but dont have 2 parts?
Thanks
H
-
Yeah thats cool, you may have some competition, we got some new riders and there pretty good.
:S

Yesterday I was riding in portsmouth, I was just trying to backhop up about 3-4 steps, I pulled the front wheel up ready to coil before springing up. I went for the back brake and nothing happened as if it was disconnected ie un bolted or some one had taken the blocks out ?
I went down flat on my back from about 3-4 ft up, the back end went right up in the air and did a tailwhip over my head missing my face by inches cos I still had hold of the bars.
I was completely winded and stunned, I couldn't feel anything for about 30 seconds and barely breathe, so I just lay whilst all my mates went "Did you see that?" "Wow his bike just did a tailwhip" "f ing hell man, you alright?"
Eventually I got up, mainly cos the ground was cold. But now it hurts all down the left side from my knee to my ribs. And now I can't ride at all :S
I have heard of the Rim Jam Block clips snapping before but not the whole backing snapping in half and falling out? Has this happened to you?
H
-
Yeah I wear gloves always.
Reasons?
My grips are really slippery cos my hands sweat and slip off.
It stops my hands hurting so much.
Keeps them warm in winter.
And hurts less when you fall off.

Hey man,
Welcome, well its cool, without photos we wouldnt be advertising the sport as much. Im all for it man, keep up the good work.

Basically there a bit strange when on two wheels cos you lean so far forward, kinda feels as if your going to fall over the bars at first. But get them on the back wheel and there real sweet. The balence point is spot on with the zoo pitbull. And for gapping the have a really nice flick out which makes it feel easier or needs less effort because you have more leverage.

Not a bad video man, Just practise and try and smooth it out a bit, but good effort.
