  1. If i could be arsed i would crack out my PSX and take a look on the memory card as i wouldn't be surprised if i did. I played that a lot and remember doing the same tracks over and over. I do remember Crash Bandicoot 2 gave me some serious shit though. Did that like 97%. How uncool isit that i own 6 variants of Final Fantasy soundtracks on CD?
  2. Looking pretty good. 24" does require a bit of adaptation with the shortness and harder gear, i only lost a few inches on my normal stuff, just requires 10x more effort.
  3. So it's true. Truly saddening. English spots closing down left, right and centre. f**kING BULLSHIT
  4. That's some crazy news. Echo while having some definite questionable products, the frames have always been a positive. Loved the ones i had in the past. His name will definitely not be forgotten. RIP Deng

    Yeah, that was awesome. Hook to over was definitely cool, think that's a new one in the trials world? Best check your forks on that sweet ass bail though!
  6. Beasting the gaps as always, that sidehop was, erm, interesting/ lucky?
  7. I thanked Will on his Vimeo, also big thanks to you John! Great location and i look forward to another day on the trials bike with everyone.
  8. Major sub fail, ouch! Awesome edit, flowly and smooth! Both riding really well. Not a fan of the black and white though, sorry dudes.
  9. Beaten to the X-tort. Though when i was a kid it was damn sexy, glad i turned out straight in the end. The Vario i disagree with. In person it's cool, but it has been a few years since i've seen one in person. There should be two still kicking around my town still. One of them "fancy" 24"ers in super luminous are pretty horrendous.
  10. Hate to say it, but as above. Generic mtb video, is generic.
  11. That was actually quite enjoyable to an extent. The problem is, you're good riders, you just don't have the eyes of a street trials rider which makes your riding rather cringe worthy upon execution of several moves. I don't think i've ever seen a single European (non-UK i mean) trials rider who actually has an eye for street trials. It's like some box ticking exercise where you think you can do a trick with another trick and simply put them together thinking it's working an multiple, when really it isn't. Pedal kicking, hopping, braking and in your case moreso is change of speed, either slower or faster. The internet is a place where people can't handle constructive criticism and others can't put forward constructive criticism. ie. fanboys versus haters if you feel a generic shitty label needs be used.
  12. You have a few options really which come down to if you give a shit or not. 1. freeze and do your job 2. wrap up with a scarf, hat, thermal boots and wait till your manager questions it. If he does in public eye, a stern voice of "i'm cold and you have not provided with ppe". 3. go stand in a warm place and/ or get a tea every 30mins for 5 mins at a time. But inform someone you are doing so as to cover your back. It's health & safety requirement. 4. invest in thermal under clothes. 5. refuse to work under the conditions due to health and safety and you not feeling safe to do so, but are happy to if the company provides adequate measures for you to complete the job, ie. regular tea breaks or clothing. All but option 1 & 4 will result in illegal disciplinary actions being taken against you. But no one will give a shit though. Least of all the retards who write the health and safety legistration.
  13. +another. Can't fault it at all. Riding looks progressed compared to your older vids, more flowy on the tricks side

    Short 24" Ride

    Sweet manuals, no pedal kickers in sight Nice tune selection too, of the preferable style.
  15. Thought i'd be the only one voicing the opinions, but i echo what everyone has said. Camera work was shoddy and took away what lines i really liked. It was clearly a box ticking red bull brand x clothing filmed in the urban derelict of the hobbits shire, so just turned into a chore of a watch. If Fabio reads this, i'd love to see a real video from you doing what you do well, that's three minutes long without the bullshit. But if this gets you free trips then that's cool, just don't come to TF to see the responses, you'll not like it. As i continue to say, 24" videos really do suck balls these days.
  16. I don't care too much for xmass, when your family is around most of the time anyway it's no special occassion. I don't mind the present shopping. I don't find buying stuff for the one time of year i have to make mild effort that challenging. The large crowds just remind me of how unaware people are of others, darting about with their trollies. I had some 4x4 bmw swerve into an overtake causing me to swerve too, people are nuts. Hopefully they hit a tree and the whole family died too. Today i will ride as it's blue skies, maybe play some halo and do some modelling stuff. The food doesn't interest me as it's just OTT. Xmass should be 3 days at least. Anyone see the more than normal waste at the supermarket? "give just £3 to this starving child this xmass" adverts. Well done society. Enjoy your xmass time guys regardless, we're not at work and that's all that matters :D I will.
  17. Not really, there's a few. Saw one in Bristol last night, randomly. I ride trials once every 6 months. Scene has died again for a bit it seems of pure trials, most of those who do still ride have gotten a 24" or bmx. PM me your email address and i'll add you to the FB group. It's pretty dead and needs sorting.
  18. Good watching Akrigg, but do prefer him tearing up the full suss bikes.
  19. I went to asda an hour ago, i unfortunately didn't get to see people fighting over shit tvs. I am however browsing the internet for some deals.
  20. I think price has now gone up on them. They've been doing major AKG and Sennheiser discounts for a while, fluctuating in price through the weeks too. The 550s are tempting but i really don't need any more closed phones. I do wonder if Sennheiser are getting/ going to get some serious shit from the shops about amazon and their pricing.
  21. Dunno about that fitment, but they will improve bass wise if you can find a firmer fit. I've also read them mentioned positively a few times before, but then at the low end range of the scale Sennheiser often do well. I would try and get some Sony's typically if you wanted more bass though, i got some kicking around i've never really used and they were freebies with an mp3 from years back, and tbf they good for what they are, until you hear vocals. Alternately get that EQ out If you want to demo stuff, buy from Amazon, then use for a month and send back as 'unsatisfactory quality'. I did this with multiple times with on the head audio.
  22. Last clip. Thought the nose to rail was fine to be honest. The last clip the endo drop could have had the wide angle further to the left.
