  1. So tap from a wheelie.
  2. I guess nobody's going to moan if your front wheel touches an obstacle for 0.1 of a second?
  3. Is that the theme? If so, I like it.
  4. It's always the simplest solutions that are the least obvious. Nice one Mike! I'm not a masochist so the maximum I can do is 1 minute.
  5. If those forks are 221 PR's then they're actually really good. Bike looks great
  6. I'd go to a club for lesbians and sort myself out with a hottie for the night. Then I'd treat myself to some homosexual intercourse proceeded by heterosexual intercourse once I become a man again.
  7. An indestructible furry cold blooded animal which can dive, swim, fly and run. It's pretty obvious so I'm not going to name it.
  8. Pretty much. Good modulation means that you can easily choose how much braking power you want at a given moment. A brake with no modulation will either be on or off.
  9. That's a brilliant idea! Might just give it a try the next time I feel like riding. Thanks
  10. That is genuinely incredible. You'd have thought that the last video was amazing but it just keeps getting better. After your first video I tried riding with my eyes closed once and found even a small pigeon impossible. True inspiration
  11. Thanks guys. The camera work is indeed excellent and makes all the difference in a vid. Most of the clips were shot for the TF travel video competition and the idea was that trials can be a way of commuting. It was intended to look like 1 big line but we never got down to finishing it after finding that the transitions between different spots were difficult to make. I'm not quitting literally since that's just like giving up on something, just loosing all interest. Unless I can figure out something new in trials then this is the last video, hence the name. The bike stays though in case I still want to ride it. Selling it would be silly.
  12. Vimeo Video -> Original Video Possibly my last video made up of clips I shot a few months ago but lost my steam in the process. So it's pretty short. Enjoy none the less.
  13. No problem, always glad to help. The wheelbase is 1105mm, reach is around 700mm. BB height from ground is 360mm. It's a very stiff frame to ride though my only comparison is the Triton which is rather springy. Actually I didn't expect it to be this long (only just measured it) but it doesn't feel that long to ride. Everything is in the right place if you get me, it doesn't feel like the wheels are miles apart - there's just quite a lot of space to move your body around in. edit: Pedals are Echo SL, from Echo.
  14. DAMON WATSON WOULD WIPE THE FLOOR WITH THIS SO CALLED VINCENT HERMANCE OF PARISSHIRE.
  15. The bash is ok, could be a bit more down though. But it does it's job. Agree with the tyres, need to change them. They're so worn that they've got pinch-happy.
  16. Here are some pics of my 2009 Pure, built it up out of interest and found it to be a rather nice alternative to the Triton which I've been riding for the last 2 years. It's actually a brilliant all round frame, though ridiculously long it's good for almost everything. The brake is rock solid, no need for a booster either. Gear ratio is 18:15 and surprisingly doesn't need any tensioning. Chain stretch taken into account. Using Plazmatics on the front now which are hands down the best pads I've ever had and a combination of CRM and Bluberry on the rear. Found that to be the best combination due to the CRM's soft compound. Bike weighs around 8,7kgs.
  17. Well yes, that's why I used the words "over here".
  18. Now that's much more sensible, over here the consequences are slightly more serious. You go to court, have your license taken away and aren't allowed to ride/drive any form of transport involving wheels (literally - roller skates, skateboard etc). My mate got done for it and had to sell his trials bike because legally he was no longer allowed to ride it. If he got caught, he'd have to go to jail for a year or something like that.
  19. Wow, a Zhi frame which isn't a blatant rip off. How on earth did they come up with a design entirely by themselves? Video was pretty impressive but really boring, no lines at all.
  20. You must have been living in bubblewrap all your life if this is the biggest load of shit you've ever heard.
  21. Brilliant thread. Still pretty young comparing to you guys so I won't put myself down but just wondering, do you ever have episodes with the police walking up to you thinking you're just kids and getting a slight shock when they see your faces?
  22. I don't think there was a long and a short. Just like there was only 1 Control. Pures and Teams came in short and long though.
  23. Nope, Pythons came in different lengths in 2005.
  24. I'm not sure those who work in the industry would want to talk about their job and it's details in front of all their customers.
