HELP,lol cheers

come on everyone!about 100 people have looked at this post an only a handfull are coming.the turn out at the last newcastle ride was really good. more people please!

terror you should get down to some.theyre so good.no matter how good you were everyone had some sort ass clenching moment in the sections.it was raining all day!

i was riding a black adamant with blue rims.....saying that though it was slippy out there today and my bike acted more like a sledge,lol.monty riders were totally out in force today.does anyone know what chris walker or waynio put on their tyres before the comp?tar?rubber solution?man they stuck to anything in that quarry anyone else?

yeah so true.you really had to push hard on some sections to make the 2 minute.i never went over the 2 minutes.......because i fell off before the clock stopped

dave i'll even warm the seat in the car for you lol.anyone else?i know mr savage and mr hyland train there sometimes so i'll give nse a buzz and find out.you clean bikes lot dont live too far away do you oh mr waaaalker,you might as well come,kind of like a warm down from the tyke trial.....just to prove you do actually fall off now and then,lol come on anyone else??

cheers ali awefully nice of you!there was loads of good stuff going down on the rock by the gate.nice hooks and an stuff.i wanted to kicker of the little bank to back wheel but only made it to both.you had a close call on section 9 or ten(the one that was on the top of the cliff).i heard some clatter,looked up and what do i see....ali c mid air,bike on its way somewhere else,lol.definately 10 solid style points for the dismount!

hey every one! just got in from todays tyketrial at back cowm quarry.first ever comp but i found it solid.tried to grit my teeth an get on with it but ended retiring,lol a massive thanks goes out to waynio who was spot on all day long!!if youre wandering who i am waynio its the daft geordie who took a closer look at the ground on section 7 on my adamant,lol.there was some spot on riding being done by all and a massive amount of talent being shown out there!so big props out to all the guys an gals who rode today! i entered in intermediate but ended getting four 5s in a row and one clean.first comp though an it can only get better.still enjoyed myself alot though. oh yeah,the little session with a load of riders at the gates before the comp was spot on to....bit of a low tap performed by mr ali c though sure that would of got the haert pumping a bit and cheers for mr stan shaw for saying hi....kinda!!! not sure what the result were in other categories but im sure mr brett"the beast" penfold was numero uno in my category.massive thank to brett too for babysitting me at the trial too.lol. cheers everybody

sounds fool proof.....then again i am a geordie.lol cheers buddy

hey everyone,as it says addingham on wednesday?if youve never been here before its amazing!its grippy all the time(i reckon) and its so scenic!! come on people lets have a good turn out!!

too right craig will be there!brett im there for sure!! COME ON LADS WHO ELSE

KING KING KING,i know dave and he's learning FAST.ive told him loads to get one an finally he has listened. PRAISE THE LORD. but on a serious note,i love my king.ive tried lx hubs,bulbs and xc's.every one let me down on too many occasions.ive tried the new hope one and it is solid as but ive lost my faith in most of hopes products.im not saying theyre crap,they just dont suit my riding style. GO DAVE ON THE KING......now hurry up and get you ass sorted for addingham on wednesday!!! thumbs up

hey peeps,just a quick one.what time have i gotta be at the comp on sunday an what happens when i get there? cheers for any replys. oh,any northern lads going ie further north than york?

just got an echo bottom bracket with the external bearings.its spot on but it just keeps unscrewing on the non drive side every other minute,lol.any advice peeps? cheers

lmfao DAB!yeah its true,people do argue especially when they want to be the best and are put in stressfull circumstances.thats totally justified.of course when sponsors are involved, they want the riders to be the best too,once again even more stress which leads to more confrontations.yeah it is bad watchin someone do a line you've tried a million times over just to prove that they are better.its childish.i ride with people who are 13-30 and i egg them on if its their first gap jump or a massive drop gap.i love to see people better themselves.if i manage a line i'll carry on doing it but anyone who wants to do it to i'll try and explain best i can how i managed it.i dont get into an arguement about im better and they arent.my only argument i get into is why cant I do something.my conflict is with myself,not with others.i would rather not waste my time squabbling with someone but rather egg them on to push their level of riding further.im not a new age hippy or anything like that but at some point in everyones riding past im sure you may of had a fair bit of competition with a pal and its turned into an ugly rift,i know i have.it did put me off but now its all about my sport,the people in it and the whole thing moving forward. cheers

im not just basing it on that alone.i know its old news.so are the other rifts (gilles etc).regardless how old they are the fact of the matter is they happen.like i said i cant change any of it.im sure theres only a miniscule amount of people who are like that. any views are great so long as they're positive cheers

i've just been flicking through the archives of tf and i came across a thread that clearly stated that the butlers had a rift with another group during competitions.i cant state how off putting this is to someone who wants to enter competitions.i know this sport can be really competitive and everyone wants to be the best but doesn't this just hinder the sports progression?if we cant progress the sport then how can we progress our own skills base.i class myself as getting on a bit and just want to get on with the sport i love.i don't want to see younger lads having a rift with other lads.yeah don't get me wrong,i can be competitive too but is this really good for the sport?rich johnson vs martin hawyes(old),gilles coustellier vs tibo(old) and now danny butler and......?i still have people i really look upto in the sport who are at the top of their game (stan,giacomo,hermance,cls)and they get on with it.thats how it should all be!! i know my words don't hold any power to change a sport that is still juvenile in age but i thought i would just have my say like everyone else. a massive thanks to everyone is acting sportsmanlike about the sport i love,hank you to everyone who reads this post and is influenced by my words and most of all thanks to all my friends(dave,ryans,bryce,brett,robby etc everyone from the stockton ride and northallerton ride) who push me to ride the best i can. what are your views? craig

that is spot on advice!!!i dont know if i shoud try novice,then if its too easy do intermediate at the next round.cheers ali!hope to see you there too.just look for a geordie on an adamant a1 swearing non stop,lol.any more advice people? cheers

hey guys an gals!im gonna ride the tyketrial on the 7th in intermediate class but it'll be my first ever comp.does anyone have any advice on this?what was your first ever trial like?im sure there are others like myself who are nervous about it too,so any advice will be happily taken on board,not only by me,but by other first time competition riders too. cheers everyone who posts!

brett penfold sucks......at riding smooth 2 cracking frames think i can agree with brett! you know im joking beast,lol hey.go to the latest northallerton ride to see a well nice gu an my adamant.

that looks awesome!looks a bit hard for me.i may come down an inspect this weekend.any parking close by?

are those the ones in the stan_arctic video?
