    Stolen Bike

    Can someone take [a] screenshot/s of all the comments please? I don't do bebo/myspace/whatever, so I can't see them. Really want to see what you've done to him though...
  2. Is this what you did with the £180 you owe me?

    Tomm's New Video

    I didn't get fooled... ...Mainly 'cause I only just came online. Was very funny reading through all of it, knowing it wasn't for real
  5. Holy cack. I'd never seen that.... Not the one posted just above me... THIS I think that must be the one the thread was about - came up when I toobed it.

    Vee Pads...

    Already had 'em. Wear too quick, 'cause my setup's stiffer than a lot. Got some off Kris a while back, but Kris also decided to turn my rim into and minute copy of the Andes. (...Very harsh grind)

    Vee Pads...

    Jonny MC tells me Plazzies. What do you lot reckon?
  8. :$ I took it to mean World Catagory - ie. it's good enough to be ridden on in't World's.

    Vee Pads...

    Zoot frame (stiff already) with a Carbon Vee booster (even more stiff...) on a new-ish grind. Being such a stiff set-up, they'll want to be pretty hard-wearing - I'd imagine. Price isn't TOO much of an issue, nor is the colour Coust's? Heard they're pretty good... I've got backings, so if they don't come with Vee backings, that's Ok. EDIT: It's on the rear.
  10. Good lad. I'd never though about that before... How the different teeth on front and rear would effect EP's. Clever, that.
  11. ...Someone's rich? (Big ol' flashy TV, MacBook and a 360... Pooooooof!) EDIT: Just realised it's NOT a Mac :$ Sorry, I take it back.
  12. I've been having it for a coupl'a weeks now. I'm on Firefox though. IE any better for it?
  13. I would rather 2 videos. The one that is - and one with very basic camera work, so we could work out how the hell he can even THINK of this stuff - and see what it looks like when he does it
  14. Youtube, or rapidshare. I'm used to seeing higher level parkour - if you class this as parkour or not, I'm not interested - but this one made me wet the bed. Even if you don't like parkour usually, don't worry - for isn't usual parkour. I'm stuck for words, but "beautiful" comes to mind. First two minutes or so are just REALLY good editting, and the rest is REALLY good editting along with the most amazing series of movements you'll EVER see. I just wish it was me EDIT: The intro is very long - but it's WELL worth sticking it out, if you're not impressed with camera work/editting skills.
  15. I can't think of any decent words to put, but you must already know what I'm thinking... I guess this post is just to boost the count, and your ego Good going.

    Side-hops?

    Side-hops?

    Thought it might be something along those lines Cheers.

    Side-hops?

    Yeah - gravity keeps the bike down. You jump up. If you didn't grip the bars, you'd just come RIGHT off - so that must play a major role. But if you have the front end low down, why doesn't your body mass just pivot around your hands?
  20. Drive-train on the wrong side? ...Just me?

    Side-hops?

    I was talking to a guy at work, he knows a fair bit about bikes - rides a lot of XC. He'd never heard of trials before (he's oooooold, compared to most of us.... late 40's), but when I told him about it, he'd seen some clips. He raised an interesting point - one that I'd never thought about before. He said: "When you do that hop to the side, and especially the ones where you keep it at quite a vertical angle on just the back wheel - how do your feet not come off the pedals?" This got me thinking... How the hell DO we not come off the pedals? Is it purely the hold on the bars, and pulling it up with us? Surely that'd only work on quite steep angled hops... What about low down ones, where you don't raise the front wheel too much? A combo of friction between pedals and feet, pulling on the bars, and just general momentum? I'm sure one of the physicists on here is about to make me feel very silly indeed, but I'd rather feel silly and know the answer, than not Any ideas?
