  1. Awesome title Joe Well i got my name in it so meh I suppose you could say the riding was alright Edited pretty well, but please change the title for my sake
  2. Quite good video there. The song made it nice and relaxed Sidehops are big and all the riding is very good

    f**k Bmx!

    I couldn't stop laughing to that, as it just looks so funny as this full grown guy turning up to a skatepark on a little scooter But some of the tricks looked pretty good and impresive
  4. Yep, same as mine. 2004 Echo Control long 1085mm, with 22t up front and 18t on the rear with a KMC Kool, with no tensioner Thanks for the replies so far
  5. Hello, and welcome to the forum By your pictures you seem to be a very good rider. Your English is actually quite good
  6. It's an Echo 48mm rear rim, and a Mavic 519 on the front. The stem's a Echo HiFi 130mm x 15 degrees. I've ran it with this stem for a while now, think it best suites it Thanks for the replies so far. I'm lucky with having the chain the right length to run it without a tensioner, and it's tight enough this way without being too tight so it's really good I'm gonna saw the bottom of my mech hanger off, to get it lookin a bit neater
  7. These are the first pictures i have posted of my bike. All pictures have been cropped slightly to reduce the size of them. [attachmentid=3743] [attachmentid=3745] [attachmentid=3744] I'm pretty happy with the spec of it now, and think it rides really well So let me know what you think of it.
  8. Really good video. Not too keen on the music but hey. All big riding, especially gapping which is really big
  9. Yeah i was spotting him as the rail was well slippy, so he wanted to to catch him. Nice pictures benny
  10. Some pretty good pictures there Good riding aswell. I quite liked the last picture because of the little effect that's been done to it. So nice pictures
  11. We've had ducks and chickens before. But my favourite chicken we had, which i called Elvis, used to chase anyone round the garden, he was savage i tell you. Since the fox had him it's boring without a mean/angry/savage chicken. The only way he would stop chasing you was to get onto the trampoline although a few times he felt like having a bounce aswell
  12. A fresh new bleed should sort that out. A friend of mine had this problem so he bled the brake and it was all good after that. I hope i've helped Jon
  13. Damn that's big. Landed pretty smooth aswell
  14. Wow one of those pictures was a screenshot taken off my camera filmed in my shed When am i gonna feature on the site I'm in the middle of making Cooper's first video, so i will post it in the 'Sites, Vids and Pics' section once i get some more footage. Jon
  15. I came down in the summer holidays on a Giant Acid when i was just getting into trials, with two other mates. I snapped my chain and had to come to Knight Riders to get it sorted (to great hassle). I ride an Echo Control now Jon
  16. I will try and make it to Sheringham for that day as i've heard it's not bad for trials with the boulders on the sea front. I get to stay in Cromer overnight for a few odd weekends and sometimes in the holidays, so as the weather's getting better i'll try to get down there with my bike more. BTW are you Adrian who works in Knight Riders in Cromer?
  17. They ride really nice. Before i went on my mates i just thought they would ride alright but they ride really well on the backwheel and seem like an awesome 20"frame
  18. Fair sized gap drop there But that bail just looked funny
  19. That looked truely big to say the least, although you couldn't clearly see the landing. Gotta love the Koxx parts in fluorecent yellow
  20. I live on a farm, and there's a farm shed/warehouse that we've got so there's about 30 pallets in there nice and dry. Mainly ride on my own with music blasting, but try to get mates down as much as possible. I do ride in the wet sometimes when out and about cause it's a bit of a challenge, and really helps.
  21. I'm 15 and work in Halfords Bikehut, the pays around £4.20 an hour. In many people's opinions with Halfords, you can get the ones where the workers couldn't give a f**k, and you get the other stores where you get the experienced workers who care about the customers bike etc. Got a bit of both where i'm working. So yeah you can be 15 to work in Halfords Bikehut, not too sure about age related sales though. Hope this helped, Jon
  22. Basically i'm gonna be getting my new Chris King, built onto the new '06 Echo rim, soon and need to know the best way to run/wear them in? So far i've heard a few different ways to run/wear them in, by cleaning them first then riding road on them and then cleaning them again, or riding road on them, or just even riding trials on them straight away. So what is THE BEST/MOST POPULAR AND EFFECTIVE way to run a Chris King hub in? Would be good to know what everyone says. Thanks alot as any advice is appreciated. Jon EDIT: Just realised i posted this in the wrong forum (oops) So if anyone would move it into 'Trials Chat' that would be brilliant
  23. Nice video, really good riding and it went well with the music. Going big on the sidehops and everything really How long have you been riding? Jon
  24. Some pretty damn good riding for 5 months, definately good at those sidehops mate so good on you, getting on for bar height. Would be good to see how much better you are in your next vid, seeing how good you are having only been riding 5 months. Jon
  25. Worst injury has to be what i did to myself last night....... Learnt how to gap to front wheel on Wednesday night and found myself progressing well with them. Front wheel hit the pallet i was gapping onto, over the handlebars i went to see loads of blood pourin out my mouth. Went to a & e to get cleaned up and have 6 stiches put in the most awkward place in my mouth. Got fat lips at the moment, lol, knocked a tooth out of place as well as general cuts and bruises. At least i had my helmet on else it would of been alot worse.
