Haha - that's a very good point!

The Koxx Skies have arrived! - K-124 have taken delivery of a new shipment of their flagship bikes, which should be available soon! Joe Brewer double Australian Champion - The 2010 Australian Championships took place last weekend in Adelaide. Joe Brewer took the win in both 20" and 26" Pro categories!

Here's a couple of blogs that I check daily when I'm bored at work: Silent Koala - Start at the bottom of the March 2009 page and work your way up to today, it's hee-i-larious! Speak You're Branes - another funny one, with plenty to keep you going!

Yeah - I'm getting round to it! I've read the article and it's pretty interesting! Looks like he's done a good job: Ulysse Fontenay riding for Interzones - Ullyse is the first rider to join the newly formed Interzones team, here's a quick article about the shop and the rider. The Yaabaa 20" bikes have arrived - The new range of 20" bikes from Yaabaa has arrived at K-124 HQ. Kenny Belaey indoor training - Some super-tech indoor riding from King Kenny!

Innit. I can't believe anyone is nominating anyone other than him in the "Best rider of the 00's" thread! Best of Orban B Gabor - A video of Orban's 2009 season. Orban is talented a young Romanian rider who rides for Koxx, for those of you who didn't know (like me!) Kenny Belaey in Turkey - The Vice-World Champion and World Cup winner is currently on holiday in Turkey, but he did take his Kamel XXV with him!

The Best of Benito Ros - Pretty self explanatory really, a video of the best clips from Benito's 2009 season. Wesley Belaey in training Some big and technical riding from Belaey the younger at their indoor winter training spot. Trials-Riders.es 2009 Video - The three winning videos (Guillem Mauri, CostaEste Crew and Alberto Muñoz) from the 2009 Trials-Riders.es video competition that took place in December.

There's an article on Tribal Zine that explains a bit about this: You can read the rest of the Tribal Zine article here. He's a pretty cool guy (once you get past the hair and the tattoos) and has always been an active promoter of the sport - kudos for getting it onto Italian national TV, especially in a show about 'politics'!

The Speed Race "Super Me" - An exclusive look at the new hybrid 24"/26" street frame from Speed Race, the "Super Me" Dani Comas on a Gas Gas - A series of photos of Dani in training, this time on his motor bike!

New Carbon Handlebar from Mist - A look at the new Crabon handlebar that has appeared on the market, developed by previoulsy unknown brand Mist. Ben Savage's Slate 2 - A look at Ben's new ride for 2010, a one-off silver version of the new Slate 2! Morgan Driessens in training - An impressive video of young Australian rider Morgan Driessens in training for the Australian nationals. Ben Savage on his Slate 2 - The first photos of Ben on his new Rockman Slate 2, taken by Matt Morgan. Ben Savage & Sam Oliver Indoor - A short video by Sam Oliver of his recent Indoor training session with Ben Savage.

Yeah, what I like about this video is that you can see how much the sport has progressed over the last ten years or so, and also that the top riders back then are still among the top riders today.

Hi Adam, I've just translated an article for Tribal Zine about the arrival of all of the 26" Skies. It has the geo and spec of each model and apparently they'll be available to buy in the next week or so. Hope that helps! The Koxx Sky 26"s are on their way!

The Koxx Sky 26"s are on their way! - After a bit of a wait, the Koxx Sky 26" bikes are on their way to K-124 House! They should be available to buy in a week or so!

Very nice! I'd love to ride a comp like that! Good find Heath

Didn't Joe Rothwell buy/make one of these a while ago?

I remember in an old issue of MBUK Rich Johnson and a few other riders made studded tires to ride on an ice rink with. They used nuts and bolts for theirs, which are a lot sturdier than drawing pins I reckon the snow'll be gone by the time you've finished making your tyres though

Good point. Good old Duke videos! The commentary can be a bit iffy at times, on my 2005 outdoor championship DVD he sees someone in a white pac-a-mac and says "...a member of the klu klux klan there!". They PROBABLY weren't in the klu klux klan...

Nikita Misyulya - street - A very impressive video from the Russian Elite Champion, with a mixture of UK and Euro styles! Best of Supermance by Sergio - Another best-of video from the PBS crew, this time its 2007 World Champion Vincent Hermance! English version of Focus Trial - An English language version of the trials media webzine Focus Trial is now available. Check it out! Pool by Zeri Captivi Pictures - A 15 minute HD video of the Italian National Champion. Enjoy!

If it's not too cheeky, would someone who has Eurosport fancy recording it and uploading it to Vimeo or similar?

Best of Toni Bou by Sergio - Here's a moto vid for you for a change. The master of moto trials by the master of trials media! Pierre-Charles by Mister Limelight - Another video from Björn Henrici, this time of Tribal street rider Pierre-Charles Thomas in Cologne. Bernat and Marc Seuba in training - A video report on two young Spanish prodigies, already with a few important titles under their belts, coached by none other than Cesar Cañas!

Looking forward to it!

I thought about mentioning 'lines', but Peter seemed to be asking about individual obstacles. Peter - a line usually comprises several objects ridden one after the other, just to be clear

Obstacle is one way of referring to individual items in a section. Most of the time people just tend to refer to it by its actual name; "I got up that wall by the seafront yesterday", "I managed that gap up from the rock to the log" etc. Hope that helps.

Yeah, I couldn't believe Fajardo went out despite only scoring 1 the whole evening! Same for Fujinami too...
