  1. quite right. i´d feel silly if i said that i´d taken inspiration from alan for that post, since it was just an idle post, but you know what i mean.
  2. shouldn´t it be ford foci if it´s plural?
  3. let me know when you get to madrid, i´m living there at the moment and am taking my bike back out tomorrow so i´ll be able to take you round and introduce you to some local riders. there´s usually a few people staying in my flat at any given time, but if there´s space you´d be more than welcome to crash there for a couple of nights aswell. good luck!
  4. i´m going back to Madrid on Monday after a couple of weeks at home for christmas, and i´m finally taking my bike out with me. So I was wondering if anyone on the forum is from or knows someone from Madrid who i could meet up with to go riding, or of there are any spanish forums on which i could try and get in touch with other riders?
  5. bose do a good one - my mrs got one off her mum for her birthday. i was a bit dubious, it´s quite small, but the sound quality´s amazing and it goes super loud!! it is about 200 quid though i think...there´ll probably be cheaper, comparable ones out there...
  6. cheers guys, i realised that the music was a bit out of sync to how i´d originally edited in after i saved it to my computer, but it doesn´t seem to matter. it´s a short echo lite, not sure what year.
  7. had this video on my computer for a while - i made it over a week or so during the summer while i was getting used to riding a mod, the beginnings a bit cheesy, was just playing with movie maker as i´ve not really edited a video before. i´ve moved to madrid now and haven´t really ridden since. be bringing it out after the new year though!!

  8. very nice indeed. is it not just a fish eye lense making it look like there's not much tension in that picture?
  9. chees mate! tried all the online BMX places i knew of and had come up empty. nice one
  10. does anyone know where i can get a lockring for a profile mini cassette hub? tarty's ran out and i need one by tuesday if possible! cheers guys
  11. you went to Herne Bay and didn't ride any rocks??
  12. fair do's. although i do have quicktime and it wasn't streaming for me, and the 'click here' bit didn't come us as 'clickable'
  13. Technical Science there you go you lazy arses!! edit: the link to download your promo mix isn't working
  14. surely those are the wrong way round? In Kent there is a sign which points in one driection to a village called Ham and in the other to a town called Sandwich (where i went to school).
  15. i'd love to "tarrange" a ride with you joey m'lad! london'd be ok, or you could come down to kent for a couple of days perhaps? stay at mine, ride the local hotspots, meet up with Fred/Pete and all those gays. MSN me and we'll try and "tarrange" something
  16. WHAT is that? I usually get called Benji, Benj, Benito, Swaler, Swale-o...nothing that exciting.
  17. emule is a good'n. i didn't tell you that though
  18. it does look much nicer without the amourdillo, you're right, but I'm really quite bad at trials, and would rather keep it on. at least until i'm used to it anyway!
  19. So, I've let down myself, my friends and my family...I've got a mod. Needed a change to get me back into riding after tearing some ligaments in my ankle, and htis is it. The pictures aren't great, but as Joe Baxter will tell you, "I can't take a still picture for shit"... Echo Lite frame Echo Lite forks Echo Headset stem Zoo Bars HS33 rear with echo lever and koxx browns hope mono trial front Profile/Hog Rear wheel Tryall Front Wheel Maxxis Tyres Echo CranksOnza DMR V12 Pedals blah blah blah... it's the first mod I've had, and I'm getting on well with it so far.

  22. nice bike - want to swap it for a mod?
  23. haha - i missed that! i'l have to listen to it again (such a chore) and listen out for it!
  24. haha - bet that sounds well funny! not sure how it'd work if you released it though - might send a few people's heads... gonna try and get down to hastings that weekend, if i can change my shifts, could do with a good dance!
  25. Just got in from visiting Darren in hospital - He's surprisingly chipper, even got up and had a crutch round with me for a bit! He's grateful for all the messages, and can't wait to get out of the hospital. I'm surprised how well he seems to be taking it - seems dead focussed in the future nd getting better again which can only be a good thing!! get well soon mate - we'll go for an XC ride in a year or so's time!!
