  1. Either my PC tower or my backup drives (which are kept elsewhere in the house in the event of a fire to increase my chances of getting at least one of them out) - really should look at cloud backup.

    If I was using cloud backups (therefore making my pictures & other stuff safe), it'd be the storage box that we keep my Daughter's stuff in, things she has made & got as she has grown up and other important stuff, only 5 years old but still a full box, that or the box(es) of old family photos that aren't digitalised, including our wedding album

  2. I think you need to add a variable for user weight as this could affect the outcome of T, but on the basis of average user weight, with an accurary of 3.52% over or above, by my caculations the result is -65.2, you're forks are living on borrowed time.

  3. Recorded is not tracked, it will only provide a signature and proof of delivery, if it goes missing before then there is nothing you can do apart from claim for a missing parcel. Recorded is £50 cover I think so hopefully not worth more than that

  4. Big time lurker her, not sure how long been around but rode before I was ever on here so older skool than TF profile...married with kid and real job now, stilll try play out every so often

  5. That was ace. The only problem with filming natural is the fact that it doesn't show how big some of the stuff is there at Shipley Glen.

    Maybe some kind of different lens might change it? Don't ask me though I have noooooo idea haha

    It was all filmed using a basic kit lens but I am intending on purchasing a wider angle lens later this year which should improve the quality and also allow me to get better angles, should help with some of the size of things, so hopefully next video will be bigger and better.

  6. Snowflake, old school indeed. I used to have a hope Big Un laced like that, stiff as hell but spokes needed tightening every few rides as they came loose quicker


    Also , always a joy to see a Base TA 26 frame still rollin'

    Still got mine in my bedroom, keep meaning to do something with it

  7. Really? Nah, definitely different people. I used to ride with Wayne but he was never as good :wink2:

    EDIT: I still ride with him now and again, by used to I mean when I used to ride properly all those years ago

  8. In this situation I'd only consider a full format and reinstalling Windows from fresh.

    Do this without a question of a doubt.

    I've had someone try and do this to me but i'm IT aware/savvy so didn't fall for it. They use the fear to scare people into doing what they want them to, many people will do almost anything when they are told something bad will happen especially if it is an area they are not confident enough to dispute/investigate themselves, and once they have access to the pc/laptop to 'fix it', they can do pretty much anything they want. No idea what they actually do but wouldn't suprise me if they install something similar to the recent CryptoLocker virus that has been going round as this way they have a financial motivation for a later date.

  9. Took the kids to see Lego movie :) I thought was cool.

    Took daughter to watch that on Wednesday, quite enjoyed it. So many references to The Matrix, which happens one of my favourite films

    Got a few films lined up to watch next, Enders Game, All Is Lost and Only God Forgives which I'm really looking forward to. In a totally non gay way Ryan Gosling is awesome!

    Enders game is good, I can imagine it being a straight out you like it or dont like it, I really liked it

  10. and practice practice practice practice practice practice practice

    This is the key word, lots of it.

    I remember when I first started trials about 16 years ago, took me forever to learn to do this but the hardest thing to do before that was hold it on the back wheel without hopping backwards. Learn to find your balance point so that you can balance on the rear wheel and hop on the spot as this is key, if you can't do this then practice it first. Then as Hippy has said lower your front end a bit and start slowly kicking your pedal, I seem to remember I found it easier to roll a little bit, like a wheely from static but only a few inches, then eventually started adding the hops onto low kerbs .etc., over time get bigger and bigger
