  1. You can "think" all you want Pete, but I can vouch for the fact that the welding on mine is spot on? There's nothing out of place at all, it's all really clean. Zona is owned by Supercycles, who also own Onza. "Zona" is "Section" in Spanish, and a bloody stupid name for a frame.
  2. Why don't those tits actually get photos of their products up when they're "launching" them? It'd make *way* more sense. Having built in cogs is a bit of a shitty idea too, in that it's just crap 'cos you can't alter the ratios precisely, or replace worn parts... 14t rear sprocket for the stock one? Built in? Not sure that'll sell so well. Sounds like they realised single pawl engagement ideas are shite, so there's a plus point there at least...
  3. Italian BMT. "Hearty" foot-long sub. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
  4. CafeMet Choccolatte. I'm a fag, and what of it?

    That vid was f**king awesome :D Really, really nice to see 'lines' (like outside that place where you did the gaps, phonebox thing, then rail-ride) as opposed to just "backwheel, gap, drop, sidehop, backwheel", etc. Amazing style, amazing riding - all good shit :'( Colourful too ;)
  6. It's even better when you download the Kung fu pack so you can get all kick-ass on people too. Means you can do better wall-runs and flips too. Thoroughly good shit :'(
  7. Jeez, Half Life Blue Shift had a wank ending, just 'cos it was pretty much "Start game. Go on train. End." We set ourselves a challenge once to get through it without shooting, and got crazily far... Max Payne and Max Payne 2 have really good endings though :'(
  8. Mine waited 'til I landed on the wooden rail, then just went "TING!" (same noise my last T-Pro made when it cracked...) and tore itself open. Fortunately, it all stayed together...
  9. The Fallguys are pretty long. I really, really like mine. Gives you a reasonably high front end (bars are about 38"-ish - Fallguys, T-Master/Team stem, CF risers), which means manualling, bunnyhopping and backwheeling is all a little easier. /\ Those bad boys there. Mine are rusty as f**k 'cos they're the proto ones so they're over 2 years old. They're not exactly light, but seriously, due to the higher front end they 'ride light'. You don't notice the extra weight at all.
  10. Yeah, it's funny really. I mean, surely his sponsors would've prefered him to have a video out? 'cos if you look at, say, Hermance - someone does a video of him, it goes up, and people are all over it. People start buying the stuff that he uses and start riding the way he does. It's obviously going to have a knock-on effect for the sales of Koxx/Try-All stuff, so they seem to keep getting videos of him out on the net. But aside from the Gate8 ones, it's been well quiet on the Akrigg front. He's an amazing rider, so it would've made sense to have got him to put a vid out. Is Feebal still going?
  11. But if you ignite him he burns for days? :'(
  12. Is that rolling or static? Pretty hefty either way :'(
  13. Sorted your's. Just have to delete the gap between the /] and the start of the text. Guessing there's just like a break tag in the code or whatever the f**k it is...
  14. Believe in it so much you can't spell it? :'( Well, here's hoping: 1. It's not shit. 2. It doesn't dent like crap. 3. It'll take a grind well. 4. They'll make a mod version.
  15. Andrei did pretty well at the Worlds this year, I thought?
  16. Click Edit once, and it'll say "quick edit" or "full edit" or something. Not being able to reply in NMC or send PMs is annoying the shit out of me...
  17. Alex, I can't PM so I'll reply here. The 5-page long, stickied topic at the top of Trials Chat: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....showtopic=41481
  18. That's 'cos I don't often buy shit. I get Beringer bars, I say they're good. You try them - they ARE good. I get those CF risers 2 years ago. I said they're good. Now loadsa people run 'em (not saying it's a direct result, just that it proves it's not just me :D). Renthal grips are good. I said they're good. People have them and like them. And so on... It's just the way it is. I'm lucky enough to have bought parts I really like, and other people happen to have bought them too and really like them. But yeah, I'm 'interested' to see how it'll turn out strengthwise. I just hope it's not going to suddenly die or anything. No reason to suggest it would, but it's just like when we were testing the T-Bones and you're never quite sure what's gonna happen 'cos it's all unproven...
  19. They have to take it back within 7 days, no reason necessary, as long as it's still boxed/in a saleable condition.
  20. Bloody hell, wouldn't want those bastards any bigger, would you? :D Went out for a real ride today, and it's performing really well. Sidehops are just loads better. 4" higher sidehopping to back wheel, and to two wheels, over night. Not bad :'( The extra standover height from my T-Pro is super good, you can really lean the bike into the hop more (if you get me), so it means you kinda place it down there better. It's just good ;)
  21. Well, there's the thing. Chainstay lengths are the same (as I've got it set up, I could eek a few more mil out if I wanted) as the T-Pro, right? So the back end's the same. The BB rise is greater than the T-Pro, as is the wheelbase. However, the higher BB makes the bike "Feel" shorter, hence the Vinco feels a lot shorter than it is. It doesn't feel much different to just stand over than the T-Pro, but as soon as you actually ride it you feel the difference. It's just a really good frame, and it does all the fancy shit you'd expect a really good frame to do :( If you can, get a go on one. Hell, even just go out and buy one. They're super nice, and at £199 for the painted one it's not bad...
  22. I would, it's just taht to be honest, my time's pretty scarce now due to working loads, so I'd rather just be out riding it. When I'm riding my bike, I can't really notice the stickers anyway, so it's no big deal really. I'd rather they weren't there, but not so much that I'd rather not ride as much and sit breathing in fumes as I sprayed it...
  23. After telling me on MSN what you had put; yes - yes you are.
  24. HE'Z KULE because HE IZ SITTING IN A CAR WITH THE HANDBRAKE ON PRESSING the ACKSELLERATOR
