That floor and textile combo is on point.

Anyone ever watched the narrated Manifesto DVD? Ryan says that there was a bunch of footage he had of him and his friends "being all goofy" that he decided not to use, as although he found it funny, not everyone may share the same sentiment. I find the same to be true of this. That Red Bull can segment wasn't executed that well, not as well as Danny going OTB in Ashton's Fort William DH run video. Its Euro Trash. Good riding but I think more effort could have been made to make it look less like a vlog episode. Take April 09 for example. The 360 stair drop through the tunnel and the double drop at the end, the boys made sure there wasn't anyone standing watching as they filmed the shot, which I think really works. In addition to that I think it was a good addition to have people running to the edge to check out what had just went down. Stacks of people standing with mobiles shot in portrait as he does a line...Meh. Maybe there's been a shift in the way of thinking? Lots of people looking at his bike, his Sick T-shirt, his Red Bull helmet, its all "exposure"? I'm sure the kids lap it up. They seem to in Ali's vlogs!

Yea man, should be! Send me a PM/DM and we can sort something out!

Oooh, I wonder if this will address the egging tyre issue folk seem to have?

Enjoyed that. Would like to see more.

Nice. Seems vaping, wrecking foliage, pissing in letter boxes and TGS goes hand in hand.

Few snaps from yesterday

Not leaving too much to the imagination there Good vid boys. Looking forward to the next!

Just enjoy the joke Ger-man.

S'what he gets for buying 2nd hand off TF.

I agree! If I had more time, everyone of those shots would have zero unnecessary hops!

Thanks for the kind comments guys. Its such a fun place to roll around! I hope that comes across. The Line @Rusevelt mentions I must have tried about 20 times before I got it well enough to use the shot. Hey, @benruddock89 yea, it must have been! Good times man. Would you fancy it again? @Stu R and I are planning another trip up before the end of the year.

New bike, Go Pro, amazing location.

On-off, don't count.

Never seen any of the Desmicables. Am I missing out? Might go see Baby Driver next.

Liking the lack of noise from the green hexs brake.

Got out riding some rocks at the weekend. Much happier with this set up too.

Depends on the state of the components on the PX. Like Matt, Id go for the PX, for the reasons he mentioned and also because I believe you, coming from a mtb back ground, would maybe be more suited to the larger 26" wheels. Old bikes like the PX appeal to me more than the new super generic 24s you see everywhere these days. The PX will have much more character! Although may be dripping with issues, like, a shit pick up on the hub, sticky magura pistons, tubing on the verge of cracking, narrow tyre-folding rims, begging to be snapped 25.4 BAAAARS AHHHHHHH! For sure, the 24 will feel more solid, more confidence inspiring with regards to the drive train and brakes but the geometry difference between the two wont be wildly different, after all, 24s were designed around streety 26s! Infact, after Edd Tongue tried 24" wheels on his Pashley, the Ashton Edd tongue frame was born!

I've always found that when grinding a rim, its better to do with the tyre and tube still on. All the white talc shit you get off a tube and rubber from the tyre bead gets into a grind and can make it useless!

Still boring A F.

Paint with sand mixed in on the box top surfaces and hazard marking non slip tape wrapped round the poles. Ridable in any conditions.
