Yes sponsership is great, but its alot of hard work. You dont just get given a bike and kit, and told to ride. Your an Ambasdor of the sport, and are out representing alot of companies. Check bellow for my list of sponsers. They all expect alot from me, and it can be hard work. But if you play it right its alot of fun. When your out, even if its just a ride near home, your reprsenting these companies, and advertising them. You cant go out wrecking stuff, shouting abuse, getting wasted ect as it sends the wrong image. You will be expected to ride events from massive festivals and TV shows, to schools and fun fairs, and each one needs the same amount of riding skill, and representation. Just because its a small event, doesnt mean people arent watching. I have riden a few shows where someone will ask some questions, and see how you respond, then tell you they are the MD of one of your sponsers. If you act like a dick they will just tell you to piss off and drop you. The most important thing to remember with sponsership is that no one owes you anything. Just because a manufacturer sponsers you, they dont owe you anything. You cannot demand the best of their products and a massive wage. You should be pleased that somone belives that you can create a good advertisment for their company and is willing to help you by suporting you. This may mean that you ride components you normaly wouldnt, but then a good rider will just get on with it. If a company then sees you as a good investment they will work with you to develop parts as you would like them. If you really want to be sponsered get out and practise, get confident on your bike and with your abilities. You dont have to be the best rider in toe world, but if you can make it look good, and dont kep falling off there is a good chance for you. And most importantly make sure you have the right attitude. You have to look at it from the companies point of veiw. Let them know what you can do for them, not what you want.

Looking to Upgrade some Pedals to Ti Axles, but havent been able to find the axles on their own. Are the Ti Axles for the Wellgo Mag pedals the same as the DMR axles? If not where can I buy just some Wellgo ones?

Im sure they ride very nicely, but the arent Half Bland. Would be nice to see some colour

You can make a chain whip from an old drive side crank arm. I made one from an FSA Power Pro. Simply get an old peice of chain, about 10" long, and join on of the links through the outer chainring bolt hole. Mine worked well for years, was even using it over my proper chain whip.

I did have a problem with an Item not showing up, but Phill was great about it and sent another out straight away.

Yea. That way you can choose what gear you like by riding them. Then you can either leave them on, or convert to single speed.

http://www.jejamescycles.co.uk/mad-phase-1...ke-id41334.html I would recamend you get a Phase. JE James have them on offer aswell. They are the Exact same bikes as the team Use, and ride very well. Depending on your budget, http://www.jejamescycles.co.uk/index.html?action=search, you could get one of the 3 bikes. Frames are the same on all 3, just component quality differs.

Some Good Riding there. I would have enjoyed it more if it wasnt filmed on a Phone.

Thank f**k hes Not Speeding, then he'd have the whole police force after him.

Be Carefull. Dont take the Lock With you. If you do they can Persue it as theft (belive me, im in that situation). And if they find it with you they can then add damages to the bill. Wear Gloves, a hat, be swift, and dont make a show if it. Im on your side, theres too many people out there exploiting situations just for a fast buck. Technicaly what they are doing is theft, as they are preventing you from using your property. If you steal you own bike back, and cause no accountable damage/trespass then its a civil matter, and the police wont be interested.

I would have thought its not so much a chain wrap issue, but more of a somethings worn issue. Is the rear Cog new? Im Running 20/17 and my Tensioner pushes the chain down, and I get no chain skip at all. By the looks of it your using a cut up cassette at the rear. Do you know the pitch of your chain? I would advise buying a new rear cog, something like the Surley ones which have longer teeth to help keep the chain on. You might find that the pitch of your chain is causing this, as BMX pitch chains dont really work well on MTB cogs.

What Gear Ratio are you running? a 74 Kings would need Modifying to push the chain up, its not hard to do. Rolof would be a better Choise, or the Trialtech/Gusset Bachelor will do nicely. I would allway change the Chain and front and rear cogs at the same time, so they all wear together.

Surley though if its just full of music videos and photos they will not look into how you got the files, just that they are your personal files and you would like to save them Unless its full of child porn, Beatiality or gang rape you should be ok.

or just say "I want to take you somewhere before you go back to uni, where do you want to go?" Works on alot of levels. Shes gets to go where she wants, Shows you care blah blah blah

have seen that before, and it doesnt help. Its based on the old xbox dashboard, you cant see NAT status when perfoming a network test on the new Xbox dashboard. And My router doesnt Have any DMZ settings. (02/Thompson)

what the hell is NAT settings?

They arent Broken. Some of My friends can use everything fine, some are the same as me. Example: Cannot conect to 1 friend in any way, but his brother can start a party, and invite me in and we can play, but if his brother leaves the party shuts down. Its not just between us 2, seems to be everyone on my list, and he has similar problems. There must be something that can be done.

this stated this week. I can log on fine, play online games fine and search through all xbox content ect fine. But I cannot conect to anyone on my friends list, cant join parties, games or privite chats. Also people cant connect to my games, parties or chats Can send messages fine. Google has been no help, neither has microsoft. Anyone else had this problem??

it all depends on the Frames Geomatry. My old GU Physicly couldnt touch the rock ring due to the high BB and Short chain stays, but My Phase can. Ive riden bikes where you could get thin walls wedged between the rock ring and the rear wheel. Also depend on the bash gaurd, and how big it is

Hot Damn

MAD website has been fully re-done. All new sections, loads of information and Pictures. take a look. www.m-a-d.co.uk

Components Im Thoroughly Pleased With: Middleburn RS7 Cranks Hope ProII Trials Hub Phase Frame Plazmatic CRM Pads Diamond Back Longneck Grips Canondale Fatty Forks Im pleased with all those products because of how well they have lasted me over the years, how they have withstood abuse, and How the feel. Most of the products ive been using for well over 5 years (fattys 9 years, Middleburns 8, DB grips 6ect) and they have never failed me, broken or stopped functioning 100% of the time.

Im also on the look out for a set. Ive cracked mine after 9 years of Service. Theres just no other forks out there that can match fattys im my opinion.

Yep done that for the whole folder. Still the same, cant edit any information in iTunes.

haven changed file settings, but its still the same.
