Post a few images as examples of what you mean? Sounds like Surreal Photomanipulation.

That's something that's been in my mind fora very long time. Lots of people refer to God in different lights. On the one hand religion dictates that God resides over all of us, and in science there is a constant search for a single higher reason of being (don't take that too literally, mind.) Taking the definitions out of the picture puts the two opposite spectrums right next to each other hand-in-hand looking for the same thing, what is essentially "the answer."

I was just about to ask if Davey actually read my post. But monkeyseemonkeydo to the rescue!

Looking pretty good! Looks very versatile too with little compromise, something you rarely see these days.

While I do believe the Earth is an oblate spheroid, I believe that there ARE a lot of things that humans simply cannot prove and can only estimate to the nearest degree of accuracy or probability. For example, we don't know why we exist or (now the contraversy) how we came to be. Sure we can say we evolved from single cell organisms over billions of years, but in all truth this is just a probability of occurance. Albeit a very high probability based on our findings as humans. For all we know we could have materialised from dark matter in a flash of random brilliance in the universe, sure the probability is extremely low of such a thing happening but it is a possibility. We simply just don't know, we can only estimate based on probablity. Now here's the interesting part. Quantum probability waveforms. There are (technically) an infinite number of reasons for any given occurance, as mentioned above some are highly probable whilst others are downright near impossible. I say "near" as nothing is impossible, just the probability of it occuring tapers off exponentially. While the probabilty waveform exists containing all possibilites and outcomes, we simply cannot measure it and find it's true value, as to measure it would change it and thus the probability waveform collapses. We're still in the dark. So our best bet is to examine and theorise the most likely of the outcomes of a probability waveform and then make educated guesses as to the most likely based on our experiences as humans. For example we can predict that certain systems will behave in certain ways... Thanks to our development of physical theories. Whilst they may hold true for the most part, there is no way we can prove them 100% true for all occurances up to infinity. I guess whay I'm saying is that people can believe what they want. Anything is possible, we can just guess on what is most probable.

I have ages ago: Try and beat 27.246 seconds.

Neither. IoW.

Yeah, those P1 frames do have low BB heights, even with 26" and 130mm forks. Good choice on keeping the cable disc up front, but the whole point in that would be to run the cable through the steerer for barspins! Sort it!

Anyone else find it funny that "The Stig" is doing his driving test?

You can get new sets of ADS dropouts for running 24" wheels in their 26" frames can't you? They pop the wheel forward by about an extra inch from the shortest position so that they actually ride like true 24" steeds. I can imagine a Jekyll with those fitted would ride pretty nicely. And yah they are Xeno forks, they ride pretty nice actually and are the forks set of forks I've ever had where the bushings haven't worn loose causing the damn things to flutter about. Very stiff. You gotta keep a bit of air pressure in them just so they rebound properly regardless of the damping setup,l despite the main shock absorbtion being from the coil leg. And they don't weigh a f*cktonne. The 20mm/QR conversion thing that they have works really well too, I've ran both setups up front and even with a really crap QR hub they still keep everything nice and stiff and straight up front. For £180, you could do a lot, lot worse.

It's similar to the Jekyll, strangely. The front triangle on this one is basically a modified Jekyll, with just an extra inch lopped off the length and something special done with the internal butting of the tubes. The rear triangle is pure Krisis though. I got it as I do a lot of photos for Ison and always chatting to Matt about stuff. One day last year I mentioned I was after a Dr Jekyll as I'd had one before and loved it, and he said "Hang on, I've got something extra special you can have..." and the next thing I knew this frame had arrived in the post free of charge!

Right, so after waaaaay too long of getting this built up, it's finally finished. Sort of. The frame is 1 of only 2 made of this version, the other one is ridden by team manager, Matt. It's essentially a Krisis with less racey geometry, the top tube is a staggeringly short 19.5" centre to centre, and I've now got the rear wheel sat in position for the shortest possible chainstay setup (in the photo it's at it's longest) so it rides super-responsively. I love riding technical street (although I still need to get me front brake sorted for that one) and so love my play bike to be light and stiff as well as strong... So that's kinda how this was born. Weighs about 29lbs or so, which ain't too bad at all for a play bike. Also gonna change the pedals for a set of Slim Jim's in white. Purely aesthetic, although I have had those pedals some 8 years... Still tight and smooth though. Yeah, I'm happy with it. Also... Those of you who know me will know that I've not really ridden much trials in the last few years, I've just scooted around on any rides and spent a lot of time behind the lens. Well that's changing this year, I've promised my self a new stock sized trials steed some time in the next few months as I really want to get back into it. Watch this space.

One from the weekend. 100% naturally lit.

Shit, I went down with him and was camping with him... But left before he did that on Sunday afternoon as I had to get to London. That video looks nasty. Just speaking to him, he still can't walk.

My credit card has been a constant pain in the arse... Just 'cause it's there. It has been a big help in emergencies though. Tough call.

I have a money making idea! 1. Bike 2. Camera 3. ??? 4. Profit!

Yeah, but I like image quality. Futurama's smooooth lines are not to be f**ked with!

Bender's Big Score is the first of four feature length episodes that they're launching... Collectively they make up Season 5. The second one, is due in the UK within the next few weeks.

It's just thanks to perspective. Look through a 10-20mm lens at it's widest and you'll see what I mean.

5/4 people don't understand fractions.

Oh man I completely missed getting any photos of him jumping in... I was just stood slack-jawwed and gawping until it hit me, then I got snapping as he was in the sea.

Word.
