  1. Bump New season started a few days ago. Thought it was one of the best episodes ever. Had a bit of everything, both informative and funny but without the silly poorly staged stuff you sometimes get on TG.
  2. I run them on the rear, they're very good indeed. Got the soft compound, on a light grind they've still got a lot of pad left and I've had them for a few months. They certainly outperform all the HSB pads I've tried so far. edit: apart from the old Coustsinks
  3. Definitely not a Rubber Queen in case you were wondering, the roll on natural is just insane. Definitely something with thicker sidewalls like the dual ply Maxxis is a good choice.
  4. Legit or not, you'll be paying a massive tax once it arrives in Europe. edit: Also that website uses Escrow to protect buyers.
  5. Hard to say. I found the 1st part to be much more scary because of the whole idea of humans fighting an unstoppable machine. Part 2 where there were essentially 2 terminators fighting against each other became more of an action film than a thriller to me. Although both parts were absolutely brilliant. Didn't much care for 3 and 4 although I liked how the story all came together.

    Trial 24 Videos

    I'm pretty sure he just wants to watch some genuine 24" trials riding (which isn't easy to come by) as opposed to the usual street-trials done on frames like the Inspired which there is plenty of on the Internet.

    Rain

    Get dressed for riding. Go under the shower. Go out riding. The rain won't bother you that much.
  8. Definitely one of the above. But which is it?
  9. If you've got a GU ST then this bb will not fit your frame. Best go for a Trialtech Sport if you're looking for a threaded bb.
  10. Krav Maga and drifting.
  11. I think a skill widely known as drawing could have come rather handy when conceiving this painting Pretty impressive.
  12. It's about time I went too. Don't really know what's stopping me, I've been wanting to take part for years now. Going to see if I can rally up some mates.
  13. That massive sidehop on the Fourplay is probably the coolest sidehop since Damon released his Kot MS2 video and stunned the world. The rest of the vid made me laugh
  14. Genuinely pissed off at how short that was. Absolutely loved it.
  15. It's up to you to have fun like that. Every year me and a lot of riding buddies from around the country go up into the mountains for anywhere between 5-10 days to ride natural spots. We usually only see each other once every year but that period is something we look forward to all year. Somewhat resembles that video.
  16. Finally a solution which allows me to observe this without moving from my chair.
  17. I love how your bikes always seem to be around 6-8 years out of date Not so long a go you still had a seat if I remember correctly She's a beaut!
  18. I like how the 2nd vid is 2 minutes long, it's shot at one very simple location and yet the video manages to stun over and over again.
  19. I've recently been running a Minion DHF 70a single ply tyre on the rear and found the thread to be really grippy compared to the RQ. However when it came to pinching, I found the DHF to be a lot worse. It's probably worth mentioning that both tyres weigh almost exactly the same. The difference is that where the DHF's weight comes from the metal wire, the RQ's weight comes from it having a lot more rubber which forms a protective layer. So although it's not difficult to pinch a RQ, I'd say it's pretty good for such a light tyre. I agree with there being a lot of roll but the bounce is insanely good. Also recently after installing a Maxxis Freeride tube (300g) I've had no pinches at all on the RQ. Personally I think you'll get more protection from using a Rubber Queen and a thick inner tube then from a 200g heavier tyre but 200g lighter tube. About the front tyre, I'm having more issues with it recently whereas if I do a big gap to front, the tyre will push into the rim. The only way to pull it out is to deflate.
  20. That was incredible. Typical Spanish riding style. Got to love that bouncey sidehop techique, haven't seen them done that way for ages.
  21. Going to rear wheel is a lot easier if your front wheel is positioned higher than the rear. So depending on the obstacle try to keep the front wheel vaguely on the obstacle while the rear can just hang off it. Compress your hands a lot before jumping upwards, almost to the point of actually hitting your chest against the bars. Jump upwards not forwards and when you've got enough height pull the bike so it lands under you on the rear wheel.
