  1. noooo you wear tights now? I always new dave was gay but you disappoint me ozzy. Good riding though youre getting good quick
  2. ahahhaah literally laughing out loud at benito's gurns! Maybe I should change this to the knees in armpits thread?
  3. just found this on facebook by one of those people who adds all trials riders. Thats a bit flexible...
  4. haha I used to have lead climbing fall dreams really bad. Used to wake me up lol
  5. I think the point Matt is trying to get at is not simply "why £850" more like "why £850 when 5 years ago it was £400?" I remember the XTP being the top of the line frame, and that was £500. Lots of competition winners won on the levelboss that was £400. Now it seems the manufacturers have realised at how competitive the market is to a] Have your company name on a podium finish b] Charge high prices to spoilt kids who think the top of the range frame will make them good straight away c] How riders who are training hard to win will pay any sort of money to have an upper hand in a comp Dont get me wrong, I love watching the comps and seeing how awesome the elite level riders are, but its just a shame that people would rather be the best at trials rather than have a decent old school laugh and not worrying about denting a frame if you fall off.
  6. im not in swansea for this year, but I'll attend next year. rip Gav
  7. Hrmmm I didn't realise hook woods was this weekend.... Thats a mental offer and one Id dibs on, but Im seeing the missus this weekend in london village. I might see if I can get her to take me hook woods though....
  8. 3:14 = eetsaa keeta! 4:20 when kenny does those two logs... wtf.... great video that...thanks for bringing it back
  9. (Y) He means because most newbs expect to start learning how to sidehop and think thats it... Looked good, but it seemed like your front wheel was a little low on the balance? If you balance with it high, THEN preload-hop and drop it, you get so much swing out of it. I know you said it wasn't your heighest, but I think its kinder to tell you how to get it higher, before you go and practice a 'wrong' technique Good though. Your brake is too noisy.
  10. As above, the reason behind TV license is there ^^ The TV thing btw doesn't matter about your intentions, they can still do you for having an aerial socket in your tv, even if you dont want to watch it. My housemate got a verbal warning for refusing to let the TV licensing guy into the house when he asked him about this. They can argue if they inspect it that how do they know youve not shoved an aerial in a cupboard and stuff like that... TBF if youre moving into halls I wouldn't worry too much. No one is allowed to let the TV license people into your halls as its a private dwelling so just dont open your door to them lol. Also you'll be told to leave your bike in a communal bike shed. Don't do it.
  11. use a better editor or try eovideo
  12. maybe watch it again? Its the same clip looped? Nuts stuff. want to see the triple back pedal though....
  13. what? a couple of weeks? Unless you were skidding the entire time I cant see how you can do that. I used to ride pretty aggressive rocks with tryalls when I had a mod, and stikys would last me atleast 3 months with decent wear shay (mods on here) and simon have recently bought these new kenda jobbies for the front, and they seem a good budget choice. I give another vote to Try-alls, but only because I never used the creepy crawlers so I can't compare. The tryalls did everything I wanted to be honest...
