Don't tell me to shut up, unlike you I don't beg mummy and daddy for the latest most expensive bit of technology. I made that mistake with the Xbox one (even though some of us have to work, and I bought it myself) and won't make the same mistake with this one. Like you (maybe not actually) I've spent the last year, especially the last six months reading all I can about next gen consoles. If you bothered to read anything about the PS3 then you'd know that 90% of Xbox 360 games are also on the PS3. Also decent games DO NOT EXIST on the 360 - YET! By the time they do the PS3 will just be around the corner, but being impatient you can't wait long enough to see, are there any decent games worth spending nearly £50 a go on? Has the hardware been uprated in the 360? Is the PS3 worth waiting for? So instead you'll save up all your paperound money and rush out like a sheep and buy one. Then in a year or two (or hour or two) you'll be having problems with the Hardware and you'll be thinking to yourself, shit maybe I should have waited a month or two - even though I didn't want the PS3 at least I'd have the 360 made from better components. And yes I did nearly preorder one, and no I didn't in the end and yes I could have bought one from game four days before Xmas. And NO - I didn't buy one, I've decided to wait. So don't tell me to shut up

Do McDonald's deliver? What occurs once in every minute, twice in every moment, yet never in a thousand years? Why can't a man living in the USA be buried in Canada? Do you agree there appear to be many sexually frustrated kids on this forum?

1) No decent games 2) Overheating problems 3) When decent games come out the 360 games will also be on PS3 4) PS3 not that far away (about the same time as decent 360 games) 5) Last Xbox's soon had uprated hardware (HD/DVD) that stopped the early "teething problems" - expect the same. Wait for a PS3 - that way you'll be able to make a better decision. I've ALWAYS been an Xbox fan but have been so disillusioned with the big M. My moneys moving over to Sony me thinks!

Seems no one has brought rim width and tyre into the equation it's a pretty useless topic. I run 47mm rear with Maxis and am about 25psi on the rear, but I am an F.B.

I use em on the rear, seem OK gut they're the only trials tyre I've ever had (only been riding trials 5mths). There are two compounds, although I think the ones with the orange bindings are the slightly harder ones. Go for em.

About 4hrs in one go over the weekend and maybe another one evening in the week, maybe another 2-4 hrs. No more than 8-9 Hrs split twice. Crap!

Yea sometimes I forget that lots of people on here are kids....."who's getting what bought for them for Xmas?" Etc NOTHING, I have to buy my own parts/frames/bikes. Calling your dad an asshole, even if a step dad, bites dude. Hell I get pretty pissed off with mine sometimes but wouldn't publicly humiliate him. A £500 loan from college? In my day (lol sounds sad) we went to college to learn so we could get a decent job, not casue they pay more than the doll. Lucky sod.

So SEVEN pages and only two birds riding a bike (apart from the promo biatch from Zoo) that kinda means two things; 1) Women DON'T do trials (good I hate being shown up by a bird) 2) Lots of people "come" or should that be cum on here looking for some bit of stuff to wank over.

Stop moaning, my brakes are much worse than yours and have never touched them - and they sit an uneven distance from the rim!

Thought we're meant to have a good scene around here?! All everyone seems to do is try to arrange a place to meet and ride. LETS JUST GET OUT THERE AND DO IT Few of us ride over in New Brighton, no hassle from knobb publics and good rocks walls etc. Rampworks is pants

Chocolate fire guard, some elbow grease and a long stand.

The top 18 ways to confuse Santa Claus 1. Instead of milk and cookies, leave him a salad, and a note explaining that you think he could stand to lose a few pounds. 2. While he's in the house, go find his sleigh and write him a speeding ticket. 3. Leave him a note, explaining that you've gone away for the holidays. Ask if he would mind watering your plants. 4. While he's in the house, replace all his reindeer with exact replicas. Then wait and see what happens when he tries to get them to fly. 5. Keep an angry bull in your living room. If you think a bull goes crazy when he sees a little red cape, wait until he sees that big, red Santa suit! 6. Build an army of mean-looking snowmen on the roof, holding signs that say "We hate Christmas," and "Go away Santa" 7. Leave a note by the telephone, telling Santa that Mrs. Claus called and wanted to remind him to pick up some milk and a loaf of bread on his way home. 8. Throw a surprise party for Santa when he comes down the chimney. Refuse to let him leave until the strippers arrive. 9. While he's in the house, find the sleigh and sit in it. As soon as he comes back and sees you, tell him that he shouldn't have missed that last payment, and take off. 10. Leave a plate filled with cookies and a glass of milk out, with a note that says, "For The Tooth Fairy." Leave another plate out with half a stale cookie and a few drops of skim milk in a dirty glass with a note that says, "For Santa" 11. Take everything out of your house as if it's just been robbed. When Santa arrives, show up dressed like a policeman and say, "Well, well. They always return to the scene of the crime." 12. Leave out a copy of your Christmas list with last-minute changes and corrections. 13. While he's in the house, cover the top of the chimney with barbed wire. 14. Leave lots of hunting trophies and guns out where Santa's sure to see them. Go outside, yell, "Ooh! Look! A deer! And he's got a red nose!" and fire a gun. 15. Leave Santa a note, explaining that you've moved. Include a map with unclear and hard-to-read directions to your new house. 16. Leave out a Santa suit, with a dry-cleaning bill. 17. Paint "hoof-prints" all over your face and clothes. While he's in the house, go out on the roof. When he comes back up, act like you've been "trampled." Threaten to sue. 18. Dress up like the Easter Bunny. Wait for Santa to come and then say, "This neighborhood ain't big enough for the both of us."

Is There a Santa Clause? 1. No known species of reindeer that can fly. BUT there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these are insects and germs, this does not completely rule out flying reindeer (which only Santa has ever seen.) 2. There are 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world. BUT since Santa doesn't (appear) to handle the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and Buddhist children, that reduces the workload to 15% of the total-378 million according to Population Reference Bureau. At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that's 91.8 million homes. One presumes there's at least one good child in each. 3. Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west (which seems logical). This works out to 822.6 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with good children, Santa has 1/1000th of a second to park, hop out of the sleigh, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left, get back up the chimney, get back into the sleigh and move on to the next house. Assuming that each of these 91.8 million stops are evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false but for the purposes of our calculations we will accept),we are now talking about .78 miles per household, a total trip of 75-1/2 million miles, not counting stops to do what most of us must do at least once every 31 hours, plus feeding and etc. This means that Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second, 3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man-made vehicle on earth, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second-a conventional reindeer can run, tops, 15 miles per hour. 4. The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium-sized lego set (2 pounds), the sleigh is carrying 321,300 tons, not counting Santa, who is invariably described as overweight. On land, conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that "flying reindeer" (see point #1) could pull TEN TIMES the normal amount, we cannot do the job with eight, or even nine. We need 214,200 reindeer. This increases the payload-not even counting the weight of the sleigh-to 353,430 tons. Again, for comparison-this is four times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth. 5. 353,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance-this will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as spacecrafts re-entering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer will absorb 14.3 QUINTILLION joules of energy. Per second. Each. In short, they will burst into flame almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them, and create deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team will be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second. Santa, meanwhile, will be subjected to centrifugal forces 17,500.06 times greater than gravity. A 250-pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force. In conclusion: If Santa ever DID deliver presents on Christmas Eve, he's dead now.

I wish I wore shin pads whilst learning. I don't regret much, how do you learn from your f**k ups otherwise? Having regrets and things, it just takes your time away. It's the path to the Dark Side I tell you! Oohh Betty Of course after a stomper of hangover I always regret drinking so much the night before!

Happy Christmas fella trials nuts...have a good one, try to get out on you bikes and try not to spue that turkey over the pavements of the UK! Have a beer for me!

DeeZee always entertains....ha!

DeeZee and I have to ride home in a car with all that stinky carp. I remember that rat, weird as it was perfectly preserved just no fur (even had eyes in tact). Burghhhh

Also.....don't tell him, but that was MY poo he rode over, I was dying for a turd and the grass just looked so....NICE. And it was cool and slightly damp.

I've ridden over human poo.....went to hop over DeeZee and he shat himself, on the 180o pivot I accidentally went trough the pile he left.

Dog shit pisses me off so much it makes me want to shove a firework up their owners ass! f**king disgusting it is. Can't blame the bloody poor dog but the tossers who let their dogs crap wherever should be shot. They're the first to moan at me for wrecking a PUBLIC bench (yea right rubber low psi tyres do that - maybe it's your fat pie eating whore arse that wrecks it). There's my two sense. New Brighton is bad.....very bad. (but has worse) Rob

Same problem, one cylinder is always further away than the other, seems to slip out once adjusted and tightened to near shearing. Are the sleves crap? Any better if so? How tight do you guys tighten them? P.S. Try a grind instead of that black crap LOL

Guys........I've only been riding about 5mths and as such am still learning all the time. This "newness" keeps me motivated, we ride with some guys who are totally amazing and they too seem to be "bored". However they always ride the same place and perform the same moves, in contrast to us newbs who are trying new stuff all the time. My suggestion is to try learning some new stuff...add some flair into moves, if you're not able to do it at first then you'd probably want to stick to what you know and can do. Once you get it though you'll feel that enjoyment again and it might bring back some motivation etc.
