  1. Avid bb7... For trials after feeling dan6061's tis fooking awesome!
  2. Haha oh i am....but just like you i work for hellfrauds. Doesnt help much. Plus the fact i dont really wanna sponser atm, like i say...i like the idea of beating sponsord riders.
  3. I dont actually own a trials bike... But my others are pretty expensive.... DH bike...Around £4000 Jump bike....Aound £1600 Xc bike.... Around £1600 (old skool bike!! ) Singspeed jump bike was free...swapped for a bike i won! Free ride/ light DH bike is made from spaires but probs about £1800-2k
  4. I admit, when i i first started riding DH i was like "oh god i wanna be sponsord" blar blar blar. Now im loving being not sponsord. I not rubbish, but im not the best. i usally finnish in the top 12 and sometimes even a top 10 (in juniour). But i love the fact im beating a few sponsord riders. Its brilliant. And if something turns up it will be quality. But if sponsorship is really something you really really want turn upto every comp turn up with clean kit, make sure your bike is 100% and get popular. If your good, and they can see you take your riding really seriously they will sometimes come upto you. Sponsors dont always look for the best riders. They look for the popular riders aswell. They want their gear to be seen! It also doesnt do any harm handing a CV of all your compition results to some companys. And what kind of person you are. They can only say no. Go to your local bikeshop, ask them if you compete with their name so in exchange they do you some deals in their shop. And go from there.... But for now, ride your bicycle and have a shit load of fun! Thats whats its all about!
  5. I asked if i could do downhilling and my teacher really took an intrest and was well up for me doing it. He thought it was a brilliant idea, after showing him pictures of me and some DH vids he thought it was a brilliant sport, so he looked into it for me. But then he left and the teacher that took over said 'NO its not a sport' I told him about the previous teacher he didnt care so i had to do rugby!! Pants!!
  6. EGG BUTTIES!!!! Fry an egg and put it bread, cant go wrong, best food there is!! I dont actually have a meal in the evening, i just snack....its great...or if im bored, i will order me a dominos mighty meaty dominator!!!
  7. By that time the bike has gone! Im thinking we should go down again, with a few people, show him your pics and reciepts and say to him, 'can you explain this?' Have guildford in the car and tell him 'i have a weard animal in the car and im not afraid to let him out! Or do what i did and pay someone to nick it back for you
  8. Sounds good to me, hopfully he will leave his garage and front door open again, im sure we could think of something comical to do! Should have been all sorted last night but thats police for you. What time you going to pick it up mate?
  9. If you go on your parenst insurance then you wont pay as much, but also you wont build up any no claims bonus! So when you do go on your own insurance you will pay shit loads even though you have experance driving. Its best to go on your own insurance straight away, yes you will be paying over a grand (cars im looking at gonna cost me £1500-£2000) but you will build your no claims up (if you dont claim obviously) and the next year you insurance will drop alot! And keep dropping every year! So go on your own insurance, it will be better in the long run!
  10. If you take it to a phone shop you can see if they can do it for you. Or even your local market, should be someone there who can do it for you. There are a few websites aswell that will give you a code. The best one is called Dr unlock apprently! Search it on google!!
  11. My bike decided to fall over landing a 23 foot doubble ginning 30 at a race once. It also decited to try a front flip off a little kicker aswell. When i was using quick reliese forks, the front wheel got bored and decided to go on a trip on its own on aston hills black run. On my old bike the swing arm and front triangle must have had an arguement or something and decided to split up whilst lading a jump, the shock didnt know who to go with so it decided to go with both and split in half. All restulting in amusing crashes, slightly painful ones too. Also i once my mates bike didnt take a liking to me, and whilst i was wheelieng it, it decided to fall over aswell and also smash my finger But apart from the usuall brakes failing ever now and again and things like that, all in all my bikes have been kind to me.
  12. Gutted, well mine are coming up to their second birthday
  13. Oh please dont make me choose At the moment im watching alit of family guy (after getting box set for christmas) i love the randomness of it! Also the simpsons i will always love, its absolute classic!!! DAMIT!! Cant choose both as good as each other!!
