  1. Best vid I've seen in months. The editing was fantastic as was the tune. As for the riding, all the riders have a really nice style and so much power, especially that guy on the Czar.
  2. I spoke to Dan 2 weeks ago and he said yes, but the design will be different. Don't remember the details but in essence he can't legally make the rims he wanted to so he's going to try and think of something else which will make KO rims stand out.
  3. Loved it. Great lines Danny and some huge taps there. Lol I'm envious Brilliant riding spots too, hope I get to ride them one day.
  4. I'm starting to worry about this as well - not about petrol running out which is highly unlikely but by the prices going up so high you'll need to be very well off to run even a small a car. Hydrogen fuel cells are the answer but what will happen to sports cars? I mean can you imagine production cars with 300KW engines? Such a thing will probably use up more current in one hour of driving on a track than an average house does in a week. At the moment, thanks to how weak the dollar is, the petrol prices aren't that bad. Over here they've risen only by 8p in the last 2 years. But 2 years ago, the dollar was worth 50% more than it is now. So that's a bit worrying. I've always wanted a very powerful car like an Evo, M5 or RS4 but have been putting off buying one until I'm say 26. However with the projected petrol prices in a few years time being as they are, running a car like that will be harder on the wallet than actually buying one. So I guess it's now or never, if you want to get something which gobbles up petrol, get it now or be prepared to buy a Prius in the future

    Janson, could you also upload MTT3 ?
  7. That was the first video of Vincent I ever saw, was simply amazed. Brings back good memories
  8. Yeah got the Supas at home as well but Deng says they're identical. Dunno how true that is.
  9. The brake is actually really stiff. My Triton is heavier than yours so maybe they've used different, stiffer tubes. Either way I don't use a booster and the brake is just fine.
  10. Echo super trial tyres - the current echo tyres are exactly the same, just without the stripe 04 and 05 pythons - geometry is the same on the new ones? 06 Control - as above? What you probably mean is the design. Yes, the old parts looked nicer but I think that's just because we like things we can't buy and that remind us of when we started riding.
  11. I've seen lots of bodges but nothing will ever beat that :lol:
  12. Monty's Department For Crank Design must be the busiest place on earth.
  13. Definitely Rage/Montys. They feel perfect. You'll need a low rise stem for these bars, preferably 160x25, unless you like your bars high. As for the forks, anything from Deng or Monty 221Pr's. Monty's have a steel steerer which is a big advantage and yet the forks weigh under 900g if I remember correctly.
  14. In German it's pronounced "shfalbe".
  15. DOB's have strongly offset spoke holes. This makes the wheel much much stiffer sideways. You wouldn't really benefit from much a rim in normal street use where all the obstacles are horizontal unless you do lots of spins.

    Education.

    Had a gap year in 2005-2006, just finished my 2nd year at uni at 22. Studying international logistics. It's a fairly interesting subject but they don't teach you anything practical. Hoping that the business I'm running will make my CV attractive if I ever want to get a normal job. So many people have a masters degree over here that it doesn't really mean anything any more, I mean it will help you get a job but not as much as high school + experience.
  17. What a beauty First bike with gold parts that I actually like. Great job!
  18. I don't think these are sold as Echos. Deng sells them as "other companies production", not under his brand. I'd go for a Truvativ, had quite a few in the past and they were always great.
  19. In the 90's it was "advised" to ride left foot forward if you rode a stock bike. The bashrings were so big that it was difficult to balance on them. Riding left foot forward made that a little easier and that was important especially with the popularity of BIU. This might explain why so many pros are left footed.
  20. Look at those welds :o :o Bloody hell, I can't say this frame is worth the price but they sure do make an effort do deliver a quality product.
  21. Nope, i just have no balance at all
  22. Manuals I've been trying to learn them for 7 years now without any success...

    This Sunday? Or the 22nd as stated in the topic? Pretty sure the Radical is the fastest street legal production car to lap the Nurburgring
  24. I use 18:17 and 158mm cranks, love it.
  25. Those wheelswaps are just ridiculous, I've never seen anybody do them with such ease and speed
