if i can get andrei to go im there:p
-
there a rider list yet????
-
i will be there at like 6 andrei and tim said they might come aswell
-
from what i have heard hes not riding cause he fell off and hurt him self quite badly.
-
i did know about andrei, i ride with him pretty much all the time now i live down the road, thus my..."yes there are a handful of riders that get given a small amount of money but it still isnt enough to live on"

there is only one uk rider who rides for a living now... ashton. does that make him the uks best at the moment... no, true he used to be and he deserves what he has now, dont get me wrong im not slagging mart in ANY way, hes one of the soundest people i know and still is a very VERY good rider. BUT... ...we all know ben savage IS the uk's best at the moment, now i dont know what sort of deal he has got, its obvious he gets bikes, and i dont wanna go into what else i THINK he might get cause it might cause trouble. but the last i heard he wasnt able to live off riding, but who can? as we all know trials isnt big enough for companies to bother with, yes its growing, but it is still going to be years and years before it is any where near the size of dh or xc and this is where the big sponsorship is. what im saying is, real sponsorship in trials can only be free bikes, cause there isnt really a wage we can get out of it... yes there are a handful of riders that get given a small amount of money but it still isnt enough to live on. this is why im saying proper sponsorship is where you get a full bike, the company wants to help you as much as they can, aswell as you promoting them by making internet videos or what ever. im not trying to say people who "ride" for who ever are crap just cause they only get 35% off AT ALL. its just you arent sponsored (in my opinion) if you have to pay and advertise a companies name. thats why i said in my other post there are still only a hand full of riders who actually have propper sponsorship deals.
-
there are still only a handful of riders that have actual PROPPER sponsorship deals though. i bet 90% of riders that say they are sponsored just get money off, whether its 5% or 95%... this isnt sponsorship imo...

heatsink reds are amazing in the wet... heatsink cousts are mint aswell. im on koxx bloxx at the moment and they dont perform any better than heatsinks really, so you may as well spend less.

went and had a chilled ride today at a place near me new house... took camera and mum did some filming and that. the riding isnt anything amazing at all so dont expect anything, just had a relaxed one and got some footage from it so thought i would put it up cause there isnt anything worth using in a propper vid and im bored. just wack a tune on you like to go with it and block out me mums squeeling. new place.

my dad told me tonight... that the car mr hammond was driving was the car that my dads friend raced against, he (my dads friend) crashed and died during that race... the day hammond crashed, that was TO THE DAY exactly 20 years after my dads friend died racing that car. if you get that... pretty freaky.

if your in another country then you can do what you like... thats my view on that. if you are 100miles or more away from g.f just be sure your mates arent toss and tell or what ever. but if its your g/f's mate... i couldnt, just imagin if it was the other way around... just imagin how pissed you would be. although if it is a girl that you REALLY like then you wont wanna cheat anyways... i havent met anyone i feel like that with so maybe im wrong... but im pretty sure i wouldnt if i was in that situation.
