try flying down a hill dragging the brake and then chuck water all over it. Its a dead basic one, but saves you having to take the caliper apart and faffing arround, and it could just work!

£70 per person sounds a bit steep :S:S

Go mad dogs you spanner, local to you an dead entertaining.

I will get there over summer...

No.... one bloke pretends to know EVERYTHING about my life, which just pisses me off and is clearly gay despite him saying he has a wife every other sentace. And the other bloke is a dick. Funnyest hair cut ever was in a barbers down here called maddogs, the blokes a nutter, some woman poked her head round the door and asked to change up £2, he flew out the shop, sissors still in hand shouting at her all the way down the road that he worked for his money, and wasnt going to give it away to some slag lol Half way through the cut he started blazing and the cutting got a bit uneven, so although it was funny as f**k wasn't worth going back

Recently I've cut down massivly because i really realised how much it was affecting my studying... but as soon as my exams are over im back on it. Its just so good going out with mates all the time and having classic nights out, i dont see the issue I've quit drinking (well i say that i have a pint a night but only as a hey ho thing, got a bow in my hand now (maybe i am an alchie)) and during the long summer i will go mental, nass and the 24 tour being 2 examples, of days which i plan to not remember. The only adverse thing ive found is when things go downhill they rapidly fall down, other night in a club some kid was starring at me, so i just stood there and starred back, he punched me 3 times, and i flew over a table, i got back up so drunk that i walked up to him because he was still starring at me, to ask him what he was doing, next thing i know i got punched another 4 times before the bouncers pulled him off. Things were fine as it was but just really shook me up and made me reconsider getting that drunk again. But the next week... sure enough, i was walking round the club in my pants... stripped of my clothes i was so drunk... good times.

Seeing as your a local boy the best person to ask is "LEON" on here, he used to have a collection of em, and has recently brought a new frame.

not on main tv??

Getting drunk and getting with a girl = no problem. Planning to get drunk and get with someone BIG PROBLEMO

I can only speak from experience but all the free parks are fairly wank, they have to be made from materials which are weather durable and rain proof, which just makes them slippery un reliable "lego" parks as i call them, and on BMX even when cutting your front wheel can slip out and end in face plants. I think the main reason is not the shops but just the fact that the UK is a large urban area, with a really dense population, so across the UK there is plently of sick street riding to be done.

Haha its my mates Dobs that we got the flames on, was well awsome, only thing was i was having so much fun i cut them wrong. oh well, it was fun while it lasted!

yes. yes. no

- Downhill - We don't have a lot of good tracks and there all miles apart, plus the bikes cost a tonne. - Dirt jumping is very underground in this area, theres plently of spots but they are all kept on the down low for local and reputable riders, becasue the goverment will try to ban them and demolish them for H&S reasons apparently, on the only good set of ramps we have down here was destroyed mostly by the mini moto craze. Because it gets very wet very often here the ramps take a lot of TLC to keep them in good nick, but idiot ride them when its wet which makes all the landing gnarly and messes up the lips of the ramps, instead of being made in the wet to be ridden in the dry. - BMX'ing is a massive sport but mostly for people who want to ride them to the shops not ride them propperly, our local government doesnt invest in skate parks so its very expensive to go to private place eg. i rode a park the other day and cost me £5 for a 2 hour session, i dont know about others on here but i can ride for 10-11 hours a day and can ride upto 5 times a week, so it gets very expensive and are often packed with skaters and gays. Trials is very much a cult sport here, because there are relitivly few of us who take the sport seriously we make the most of organising group rides mostly through here where we can meet up and act as a community, its totally free to participate in and the UK has some sick spots for urban street riding. Everyone trys to get involved and we all share videos which insires us and more people to ride. Also acess to parts is so easy due to companys such as Tarty bikes. Most citys in the UK have a trials crowd who meet up, here in Southend we regularly have 10-15 people out on a sunday seshin it up and its awsome, and growing all the time, i would guess there are arround 30-40 riders in the area now. OH and as for your rain theory, were all hard british lads, hows a lil bit of rain going to stop us?

Yes

Cutting steerers using an angle grinder = win, on some alloys you can get flames coming out the bottom of the fork

I want one hahaha

oh shit. ditto.

On it electronic.

nice 2 year bump.

oh... dear.

Yar har, I had exactly the same problem 4-5 years ago on my Saracen Mad 2 Six and a new chainring sorted it out fine, so why haven't Phase / Mad / Saracen / Whatever, realised this problem and upgraded the chainring to be more durable / better machined to avoid chain suck?

Because a wheel is a wheel as long as its round and spins a £300 wheel will do the same as onza own wheel. (assuming its fixed) . Sharp brakes will help you to improve 10X faster than round wheels, which you already have.

Best taking it to a cycle shop or a mates whos more technically minded than you. Knocking headsets in and out is easy but I would definatly get someone else to do it / show you so you know how to do it in the future.
