My god, make fun of them. Enter false data etc, take the piss out of them. I was asked for an accurate scan of my ID from the largest auction websites in Poland. This was a scam. I sent them the scan, but photoshopped it, added a photo of a dog instead of me, changed my birthday date to 2010 etc. No reaction to that, although they threatened that if I didn't send it, they'd block my accout. Idiots But yeah, it probably works - I'm certain that among all the e-mails they've sent out trying to acquire peoples pin number, card number etc. there will be a few idiots who treat them seriously and fill the form in. Thank god trials riders are very intelligent people with big heavy brains.

Really enjoyed that! Your pedalkicks are very strange though And my god, that chap on the Toxsin is ace...

Thanks dude, some useful information there Cheers!

Got an exam tomorrow, need to know the correct answer and explanation for the following task: (excuse me, for my technical english is shit) The bank has a private ( A ) and public ( B ) key. John has a private ( P ) and public ( Q ) key. A certifying organization has a private ( C ) and public ( D ) key. John wants to send a message to the bank. What will he send and how? IMO this is how it goes: John publishes his public key and the certificate which includes his public key to certify that he is the holder of it. He sends the message to the bank, enciphering it with his private key. The bank then de-cyphers his message using his public key. However there is one problem. This message can be intercepted and viewed by an unauthorized person. Therefore John should encipher the message he is sending with the bank's public key, but then the bank won't know it's John who has sent the message because there is no certificate. Can one encipher a message twice using your own key to certify that you are who you are, and then encipher it with another key? If not, what's the correct answer?

This might not be too helpful but maybe you should try sidehopping from two wheels instead of the rear? It allows you to concentrate on fewer moves at once. You might just want to spend more time doing sidehops, from past experience (when I mastered doing it to my bad side) I can tell that one will practice a move for days on end with no progress, and then one day you get on your bike and can nail it perfectly. This is probably the most useless piece of advice but just practice.

Sorry for the mix up folks, thought the geometry was somewhat self explanatory and didn't write that it's meant for a mod bike. Sounds good, need to think this over. In what way do you find you loose power when hopping on a high rise stem? It's great for gaps because you can get the front wheel lower without being in an awkward position, taps are easier too. They have their downsides of course. I'm trying to to "tweak" the GU Typhoon geometry which I absolutely loved. Had that bike for a while and then swapped with Gaz because I wanted an even shorter frame. However taking into account that this would be an experiment and I'd keep the current frame, I might as well go a bit extreme. If something goes wrong, I'm sure there'll be somebody out there wanting to buy a short titanium "Monsterboy". The GU had a 1010 wheelbase, 60mm bb rise, that's why I want to give it a higher bb rise (which I loved about that bike) and make it slightly longer for it not to feel silly - hence the +5mm wheelbase. Hope it doesn't dude That frame is total shit. Do you find the GU short though? Don't think so either, +60 was great, I don't think an extra +15 will spoil the way it rides especially that I now have about +35 and it's also fine. IMO bb rise is something which doesn't significantly change the behaviour of the bike, it just helps in certain moves or completely spoils taps Loving the Ti, not selling it

Not bad for 5 months of riding. Now get the camera out, make a longer video and show it to us
-
sure is. wonder how it rides?

Don't attack me for what I'm going to write, but I think your videos are no longer as "uncanny" as in the past. Now you release like 1-2 of them per month and thus they lose their uniqueness. Obviously the riding is very good and so on, but in the past, most of all I liked the impatience when downloading your vids. Until now, you released movies pretty rarely and so we saw a flabbergasting improvement in your riding each time something new was released. Now the improvement is steady and frankly speaking, I can't see the difference between your skills today and a month ago. The legendary vids I'm talking about are i.e. the May 2005 series, or the August18 (which was just insane and is among the best trials movies I've ever seen), or the old Echo videos. I would never, in my wildest dreams, expect to see that huge sidehop or hook at the beginning of August18, but today I know that your next video will be fairly similar to what I have seen today - unless it's some kind of roadtrip, which of course is different. Hope you get what I mean. Of course this is just my opinion and I need not share it with you. But as this is a forum I might just as well do so. Despite all this I still enjoy them, just wanted to point something out. Cheers!

Made many adaptors for non-disc frames but all of them were for mods which kind of made the setup much more rigid as the adaptor was fairly short. All I can say is that it works very well but it's got to be done properly and from the right materials. If you're after a lightweight bike, ditch the idea. Going rear disc added over 600g to my bike (partly due to the adaptor) that's why I decided to change to a frame with a disc mount. Edit: IMHO the A2Z adaptor won't last. The forces in trials are too great for a small thing like that to work properly. After all when you're braking in a normal bike, an adaptor like that is "pushed" into the frame, whereas in trials it is pulled out. Won't work, won't work...

I think they'd need a 100fps camera to film this properly

Editing was ok, could have been a bit better. Good riding and a good sound track but I was the first to use it Liked it
-
Oops, forgot to deinterlace Other than that, the video was incredibly good. Not quite sure what I liked most, maybe the smoothness of your riding and the big moves looking so effortless. Nice choice of riding spots, I also liked the small walls you were playing on. Ace.

Nope, I'm not a freak edit: Siders, is his mobile #...943? or is that his home number or whatever you call it? Might as well text him

what the hell is wrong with ginger ?

Nevertheless it's good to hear your ribs are intact. You should be fine within a week or two which wouldn't have been the case if you broke your ribs. Well, you know how it is anyway Hope you have some pretty nurses attending to all your heart's desires.

Having hot and cold water in two taps is by far the stupidest thing I have ever heard in my life. It's possible we had taps like that when still living in England but then I don't remember that

Was expecting something very nasty, good he didn't hurt himself. Quite funny as well
-
How can you possibly assess a hub which has only just been released? Give them at least a year and then you can call them good. At the moment they SEEM good.

Bad day today, Anzo broke his ribs

I'm ordering a custom frame fairly soon, and would like to hear your comments about it's geometry. Basically, this bike is going to be built up for UCI riding. No bashplate, just a 16T bashring. Wheelbase: 1015mm Chainstays: 363mm (but I'm thinking about 375 due to the bb rise, however I hated the Python for the long CS) BB rise: 70-80mm, but probably 75mm Head tube angle: 72-74 edit: The remaining setup: 375mm forks, a high rise stem and narrow 680mm Monty bars. And before you ask, I do like high BB's. Cheers

That's what I mean, sorry :$ I'm a bit tired lately

Most of the time you're pedaling fowards, so that kind of counterbalances pedaling backwards.
-
Even if these items are ok, it's good to keep in mind that there are lots of forged Chris King headsets around. I read about them recently and they're almost identical in looks to the original ones, yet fall apart very quickly. Just a remark on my side
-
You can probably observe the changes if you find a track which you absolutely love, and listen to it over and over again for a few days. In the end you'll hate it. First note what you love about the song, then when you hate it, note what you hate about it. Might be interesting.
