Yesss. "I thought I'd clear it no problem."

He doesn't mess about does he. That wallride over the door was big man.

That's a crescent under the bianchi paint job though. I remember seeing that and trying to get our bianchi agent to hook me up! I also remember wanting a crescent when JJ had one, that was a mint looking bike.

When I started riding bmx I wanted my brake to work as good as my trials bike. Stick with the crap brake, eventually you'll see you don't need plaz pads! Just takes a bit of getting used to.

Haha. Mate I'm talking about resurrecting a VCR. Internet forums are a few years down the line.

Who on here remembers Evolve? Today I was amazed to find crfilms.com is still online and even more amazed to discover that you can still buy Evolve! Have a look on dukevideo.com and you can own a copy for £14.99. Sadly it is only available on VHS but to be honest it is almost worth buying a video player or at least trying to resurrect the one in the attic to watch it. My friend Matt had a copy which he got as a throw out from Peter Kraus at bike '99, mint. We watched it so many times it wore out completely, the day it stopped working was frankly a sad day. Reed Merchant's films were brilliant and filmed with the same flair as many BMX videos, no dodgy French techno and no front wheel tapping. Just lots of cool riding with some good camera work and editing. Seriously if you haven't seen this film buy it. Watch it with your friends until the tape wears out then go and do some big bunnyhops. If you're new to trials or not. Right I'm off to fix the VCR.

Quite right, there's no reason why you can't tap the lockring off with a hammer and punch whilst holding your crank arm in a vice with a cloth wrapped round it. Just be careful, it's easy enough.

Hi there, Your local bike shop should have the tool because it's the same pattern as a shimano item used on older cranks before 2pc and even before octalink. If you're mates with them pop in and I'm sure they'll lend it you or hook you up. peace

Just chill as your headed to the wall. Practice touching your front wheel a little if you want to get the feel then smooth it in with your normal backwheeling. I reckon a medium height but near the top of what your comfortable getting up. Practice and that!
