  1. I know a couple of lads in the Glasgow Evans stores and they always go on about their store doing reeeallly well..
  2. Its set up to fool you into trying.
  3. Vee’s dont freeze. Neither do mechanical TRP brakes. Heard anything good about them? Not the conventional BB7.
  4. Looking gooooood! Lets see another side on shot with those stickers on. You lucky bas
  5. On compliments. That endo drop pic is class. Face within legs within bike railing.
  6. Don't even get me started on your feet position on the roll out of the fakie at 0.28. Glad Mark put that extra funny clip in after it because I was still laughing.
  7. Firstly, that wheelie drop thing at 0.17 and the ET further on. Get in the sea. Honestly the worst thing anyone can do. Liked the balance and lack of hops on the 180 at 1.43. Also liked the wedge on the brick wall/bench at 2.03. There was something strangely satisfying about the way the bike dropped down the stairs at 2.42. Ender line, hook 90 with the monstrous 360 at the end. Only other bigger 360 I've seen (other than Danny Macs) was Ashton's in Trial Noir. Bike looks awesome. Best colour yet.

    Brakeless, chainless. Before you know it your hairs down your back and you're free running. Liked the simple things like the drop down into wall ride and the back wheel wall ride. Really liked the nozzer off the stump shot. Executed perfectly. Another 28? Random number?
  9. Where did you say Kenny B's demo rig was set up, Andrei?
  10. Nice one boys. Karls 180 up at the sea side was cool and I liked the rolling line over the concrete benches too. Cockys bike/trainers noises in the last clip
  11. Mummy, look at that boys bars. Stop it, its not nice to stare.
  12. Aye, I see, you like the easy way out! Slacker! The only time the Ben Travis Technique looks good is if you, after the hop, catch the engagement of your hub and roll back slightly. The reason for catching the engagement of your hub is to control the speed of the roll back with the pressure on the pedals. I'd try to catch the engagement (right foot forward) with my crank at around 120 degrees, roll back till my crank is at 45 degrees, then kick up to back wheel...Then i'm goin away!
  13. Create a new TF account? When you do an up to front. You land on your front wheel, swing the back end up and round then lift both wheels and land them both 90 ((reminds me of the way Ben Travis does it) reminds me of a correction hop). Is this something you aim to do or does it just happen? I always try to plant the front wheel, swing the back end round, creep the back tyre over the edge and place it as smoothly as I can, as close to the edge as my front wheel is. The only time I would use Bens technique, that's what its called now, is if I was pushing my hop limit and having to use the corner of the wall as a pivot point, where my front wheel would struggle to twist that 90 degrees.
  14. What a nail biting end to the season! It's never been so close! I was on course for the Hatrick but it wasn't to be. Gives me an excuse to come back fighting next year.... Many thanks for your involvement in the scene @kevind. Like you said on the day, many have come and gone but you stuck it out. A few controversial moments over the years for sure as well as funny times. Insert @rab3481 quote here. From the has been's to the have yet to be's, thank you for all your hard work.
  15. The one thing that made me click on Mikes video was me wondering how the hell he rode in those moon boots.
  16. Well, Google says... "Clickbait is a pejorative term describing web content that is aimed at generating online advertising revenue, especially at the expense of quality or accuracy, relying on sensationalist headlines to attract click-throughs and to encourage forwarding of the material over online social networks" Try to end your videos on a high Mike. As in, a move that you had been trying in the video which you actually land. Or any other high note for that matter. For example. Golf gloves.
  17. Looking good! Like the flashy start clip. One thing ill say for 1 or 2 of the clips though. When hopping to the edge of a drop, you rolled forwards then immediately hopped back again. Almost makes it look like you don't trust your brake or something.
  18. I was going to say exactly that!
  19. Can a trials brake ever be overkill? I think not. Overkill me right up when it comes to my brakes!
