  1. They are soooo good! I wanna go back to school so I can have them in my lunch box! Any sandwich + salad cream = magic. But for me lately it has been toast and marmalade. Usually 6-8 slices in a day. The toaster in our halls kitchen stopped working this morning. I felt slightly guilty as it's not mine, and my best estimate is about 800 slices toasted since October...
  2. I'm not sure I have one... there's so much great music... But then again I think it might be The Who... they rock so much!
  3. Well that was pretty amazing! Lately I keep seeing topics that say moto trials and thinking it won't be that great, and then being blown away... Motorbike in skatepark was unexpected!
  4. Nice video, I enjoyed that. I was kind of expecting to see some spots I recognised as it was in Kent and then I realised I haven't actually ridden Dover or Whitstable! Have to sort that out...
  5. Just watched it - was my first time! It's so good! I think I'm going to go out and try some stupid bunny hop lines and hurt myself. Loads of quality riding though, on big old tank bikes, and plenty to make me laugh... Now where are these other vintage classics that people are talking about...
  6. I can't say it's my kind of riding but they are amazing pictures!
  7. I have humble broadband at home, but the uni broadband in halls is awesome! Trials videos just appear instantly... it comes up with like 4 mb a second or something I think images in signatures would be annoying...
  8. Yikes! I didn't know people did flairs (and all the other stuff) on mountain bikes... Cool!

    A Relaxed Video

    Yep looks like a fun afternoon! Kind of reminds me of... various afternoons from the past... they don't often seem to get made into videos though, nice one.
  10. Wow now that was good. Quite amazing stuff from guess who, but I liked all of it, trials riding how I think it should be.
  11. Haha very cool. What a hero! I don't know the reason behind him being in a wheelchair but surely that can't be doing what's left of his spine any good?!
  12. Cool, was enjoyed by me.

    Bristol Rinse

    Well, in general it's not really my kind of riding but it was still quite a good vid somehow. A few nice lines in there, nice skin...
  14. Ebay... I'm not sure how I failed to think of that! Thanks guys.
  15. Ok, new trials bike should be ready in a couple of weeks, need grips to finish it off. The best grips I've used are the Ritchey WCS Truegrips, I usually get them from Wiggle but they're out of stock and apparently will be until April. I've checked quite a few other online shops and everywhere is sold out, presumably not getting more till april. Anyone got any ideas where I could get hold of a pair? Or anyone happen to have an unused pair lying around (wishful thinking...) Alternatively, are there any other thick foam grips I could get instead? I don't want rubber grips because they get too sweaty and slippery in summer. The only other foam grips I have seen describe themselves as 'ultra thin' or something, I don't want that because they will rip, and I prefer the feel of fat grips anyway. So yeah where from, or what else? Thanks
  16. That was great! Loads of different good stuff in there (like everyone basically just said), and for once, I was loving the mod! EDIT: Wow, I just watched the rest of the videos on that site, they're all so good! How come I've never seen them before?! I remember 26twenty a few years ago when I was just getting into trials and finding vids and they were kinda cool then, but for ages until now I somehow never came across all these... There's great riding and just general atmosphere in all of them, and The Years is the best video I've ever seen for giving an impression of what riding trials is actually like. I'm a fan!
  17. I really liked that! Bit of a random combination of downhilly freeridey and mod trials, but good riding in all of it. I did laugh at the end too...
  18. Don't like wearing gloves. When it's really cold I do, but otherwise no gloves and foam grips to stop the slippy sweat.
  19. You haven't put the Giant on your profile bike spec! Stop revising and sort it out!

  20. I think I might come to the Southampton one and bring Gilly no doubt. (last exams on Thursday ) I don't actually have a trials bike at the mo (hopefully that doesn't exclude me!), but I've been riding my dirt/street bike a lot while I'm waiting for a frame, good fun it is! See yas there

    Tra Compilation

    He's the bounciest man in the world!
  22. Out curbing this afternoon, my friend does a 360 spinny trick on his curb of choice on his Giant Team Trials bike. Some passing unidentified little kid comes out with the slightly unexpected statement: "Oi, you should get one of them little bikes with no seat, then you could jump on that rail an' all" The number of times you've been asked where your seat's gone, and now this... are they never satisfied?! Not something I expected anyway...
  23. That is a CRIME. Even in terms of crime... Really hope you get it back. Wander the streets and see if you can... nah that's probably a bad idea. Asking around the local bike shops is a good plan though, they can take the details so if someone tries to sell is to them etc etc. Bad luck man, it hurts.
  24. Search, cos there are a few big topics on this... I run 40psi front and rear. Depends on your style, I like to spin, don't like the squishy feeling etc.
  25. I liked em. I'll probably have to check out all the other ones in the thread when I'm not meant to be revising for exams... A lot of music like this probably wouldn't really make good 'songs' but that's not necessarily the point, sometimes it's good just to watch someone really in control of their instrument and playing things you haven't seen before. (Well I hadn't seen some of that stuff anyway) and bass solos don't have to be gay...
