    Giant STP, bit of a crap build needing some new forks and brakes but does for bmx tracks and stuff.

    Marin Quake AL7 looking funny with the shock removed, had to be sent off to MOJO for repair. Thinking of selling the frame, frame and forks or whole bike if anyone's interested (Y)

  2. Thermal balaclava might be a good idea at those temperatures haha.

    My only advice would be layers layers layers! Take loads of t-shirts and long sleeves. I'd definately invest in 2 pairs of long johns and thermal top layers. You'll want a scarf to stop any cold/wind chill from getting round your neck (Y) ermmmm i think they're called Buff scarfs or something, but they fit over your head round your neck and will tuck nicely into your goggles.

  3. Most of the natural trials was at Hathersage as Ben said, and some from Buthiers in France.

    Yeah the first 4 or so clips with me in the green t shirt are from Wharncliffe :)

    Bars are Funn Fatboys Ross (Y)

  4. The first half of this video was made around the start of this year with the intention to finish it, but i then got into mountain biking and haven't touched my trials bike in months. I tried to make a transition between the two to show the end of something and beginning of something else.

    I hope you enjoy, and let me know what you think :)

  5. I found the faster the better (Y) Can be fun when learning haha. Of course don't start by running as fast as you can and jumping on.... And yeah depends what's works for you but i found it best to jump on the board from behind but also slighlty to the side. Have fun :D Makes we want to go to the beach now!!

  6. He's fookin' fast until he crashes though.

    That's what i mean, he's riding so so fast then seems to push it too far....like he did in the World Champs being 8 secs up or something :blink:

    Dirt mag always have decent coverage, just watching it now.

  8. Not tgs at all! Although i've always said i prefered you on stock blah blah, stuff like the 360 up the ramp, manuals, bunnyhops etc. make me realise that mod really suits you.

    Really enjoyed the vid, your style is awesome now! Makes you unique :P

    I see you've got a sunny hunny riding spot on the seafront lol. Come to Koxx Days Joe (Y)

  9. I would say yes, but i don't fully trust our justice system.

    Like someone has already said, let them rot away in jail. When someone is sentenced to life in jail, give them no luxuries whatsoever. Give them a few slices of scummy bread, non clean water, no bed, no decent toilet etc.

    ...But for this to be effective though our justice system needs to be reinvented. If you can convince the judge that you didn't do blah de blah they you will get away with much less, but in countries like France i believe it is a much different system where the defendent has less chance to speak and the court is held in order to find out the truth, rather than who comes up with the best story (inquisitional v pastoral or something i believe).

  10. Luckily I get to spend a lot of time out my office, so the things still annoy me...

    1,2,3.....40

    Your avatar pic now makes haha.

    I hate people who copy others to try and be cool and fit in.....whether it's fashion, what they do, how they act etc. An example would be guys who all wear trackie bottoms, flip flop/plimsol(sp?) things and a stupid oversized beanie half on their head. Fair enough alot of people started this and it suits them, but half of the people started wearing those things as soon as it became popular and they just look stupid. I just feel like shouting 'Be your f**king self you tool!'

    I also hate chavs for many reasons.

  11. Take it there is a camping area? camper vans aloud? where in france is it held? and is there a fee?

    Need abit of info as there is a few of us that want to go!

    Cheers guys.

    I think you can camp throughout most of the forest, but there are certain areas for camping with buildings with toilets, showers, kitchen type sinks etc.

    Google map 'Rue De Roches, Buthiers' (Y) Pretty sure camper vans are allowed as quite a few people slept in their vans last year, not sure on how much it'd cost though.
