  1. I have a nice circle scar just below my rib cage were I dropped the front wheel and landed on handle bar. It was not a tickle I can tell you that much I will try and get a picture for you. Jack.
  2. I keep mine in a garage and I live in a quiet little dead end road anyway so i'm pretty safe. Jack.
  3. Its £3 I think you can stay from 10 untill 4 and there are rules like no riding on grass or distubing scouts just stuff like that. Jack.

    Police...

    I have yet to have my name taken down always being moved on by owners of propertys but always seem to avoid police. I don't get it though I often ride this library in southend and on the same road the is a police station and officers are always passing on foot and in cars. They give us evils but never take any action one of the funniest time's I have had there is a bunch of skaters were hanging around there and the police came over and started having ago at them and moved them on and then walked straight past us it was great. The skater were just sitting there and we were bouncing about and still they said nothing. There is some justice in the world haha. Jack.
  5. Yes its a really fun setup I tend to just play around on the pallet section theres cotton reals and bins and loads of stuff to play on but one of those pictures is in comp. Jack.
  6. My t-pro Sorry not the best picture but its the only one I have of just the bike. I have upgraded to: zoo bars echo stem echo wheels wellgo pedals acs welded freewheel To me it rides really nice. Jack.
  7. Haha yeah TRA doesn't ride small its no surprise. Jack.
  8. It looks like its going to be echo team forks then they are really growing on me. Thanks for the help Jack.
  9. Yea good topic it will save a lot of pointless topics i'm sure it will workout very well. Jack.
  10. I have just got new echo 06 wheels for my onza t-pro and I have a disk hub on the front and i'm fed up with magura. So I want to get a Avid bb-7 disk on the front but of course I don't have the mount on the forks. So I was wondering what forks you would recommend I like koxx/try-all forks but i'm told they snap easy in street. Is this true and what other forks would you recommend something with a disk mount but I want to keep it light and strong if posable. Thanks. Jack.
  11. At the moment I have a onza t-pro and they are brilliant bikes for the money rides very nice. But I have always had a thing for koxx they tend to be very expensive but seem to be worth every penny I'm saving up for a koxx now. In my opinion I prefer koxx but some people don't like the leghth or bottom bracket rise in some case's of them but if your after a cheap and unbeatable for the money bike then onza is the way to go. Jack.
  12. Space bar to hop and directions to hop in those direcctions and forward and space is a pedal hop but to front hop tap the up arrow like three times i think that would be a good idear for the controls side of it. jack.
  13. Wow finally a trials game should be really cool you will have to let me no how it works out. What software are you using. Jack.
  14. I want that frame please tell me that is coming out in september I love that more than the monster boy now that is a beast. Dose anyone know when its out and how much it is going to be. Thanks very much for that. jack.
  15. I know and respect DJ and realise that he is a icon of respect on the forum and i can really respect that due to the terrible conditions in which he died - makes you realise how important it is to live the moment and enjoy the times you get riding and the moments with your friends. I think its a really constructive thing but i think when people start saying "get rid of chavs" e.t.c. it kind of ruins the thread DJ was an inspiration...
  16. i had this problem but that was only becuase i fooked up my hanger and hammered it back in and it just wasnt happening anyway your best bet would be to wait for your new hanger before you start worrying too much if its in the post?
  17. Maybe just another tip how to do more is someone gave me a tip which is when looking at your front wheel you should always aim to hop backwards and if you keep backwards it keeps your rear end up helping you to consistantly re adjust the balence point
  18. GT85 underneath your grips thats a new one its just like wd40 which is a lubricant so surley it makes your grips slip all over the place? what i found was even when my grips were stuck solid in place they had a tendancy to move towards my brake levers particually on the right handed side. To solve it i cut up a spare grip which i put so it touched the lever at 1 end and the grip at the other so effectivly my bar was 1 long grip from the end to my brake
  19. tighten up your cones maybe if it is that your wheel is moving perpendicular to the direction of the sidewall?? i dont quite understand completly what you mean
  20. Hey i ride with Simpson - yea he manages to fix his bike everytime quickly but somehow finds a major cheap way of doing it each time. meaninig parts of friends arse licking shop workers and just not going to tarty or select with a mass of an order to just fix one simple thing
  21. Well typically bikes run a rear freewheel / engagment system but as far as i understand front freewheels are more trials specific. Me myself run a rear Hope hub just because that was what was availiable for me at the time but looking back on it, it is a lot more cost effective to maybe weld up my rear hub of my hope or standard shitty thing and look at running a front freewheel. i looked at maybe running a Eno originally but tensile have been roumored to be bringing out a tensile freewheel in a mid range price bracket of £40 with 72 engagments APPARENTLY but thats always
  22. Orginally the same as you basically i ran a deore on the front for a while but found the cable was getting stiff and tightened up too much so recently i looked to get a new front disk brake. I purchased a 203mm Avid BB7 off my friend and i wasnt dissapointed. its dead powerfull with good lock unsure about too much modulation havent had it long enough to find out!!! Bu disk brakes dont take a lot to bed in anyway! just dragg it going down a huge hill and pour icy water on to it afterwards is soon sorts itself out! (havent had to do this yet on mine as it was bedded in) Unless you need the modulation of the hope save your money an get an avid!
