We had the opportunity to go to Paris, so we did. Thanks to Shaun Hook for putting us up (or rather - putting up with us ). Unfortunately, it rained a lot of the time. When it stopped, riding was still pretty sparse thanks to the floor still being wet and smooth, and not particularly good-conditioned tyres. Got a few clips, and thought it better to have a not very good video than none at all

I wish this didn't so perfectly describe every issue I ever seem to have

They're just more agile in general. Assuming you ride a trialsy stock, and not something oldschool/Hex etc. it'll feel like going from a driving a bus to driving a Corsa, or something of the sort. Trialsy stocks are very barge-like, from my experience, and can't really change direction unless you're on the back wheel and hopping 'round. A mod - particularly short ones - are much more nimble or twitchy, which I find makes them a lot more flicky and "chuckable"

I can't even bring myself to care. To me, an OS is a tool. 7 does everything I want/need it to. Before that, XP did, and I only changed because when I started a fresh installation it was easier to get hold of 7 than XP. I'd consider 8 if there were things that I didn't like about 7, but I can't think of anything I'd want an OS to do that it doesn't. I'll probably try it out when I next start afresh, depending on it's reviews up until then

Some seriously large lines in there. How many frames per second is that filmed at? The slow-motion is reeeeeally smooth. Or is it a normal-ish framerate with some much-better-than-normal-Twixtoring?

Awesome The brake on your BMX sounds absolutely savage! Can't believe how high you can bunny hop (MK pond thing and 0:37!). I have only one complaint, and that's the song. I know for a fact it's in a video somewhere - think it's a Benito Ros/Diego Barrio, or something along those lines - and I absolutely cannot figure out which Edit: Found it. No complaints at all now! Pure wicked.

I'm such a n00b Recognize worryingly few of those names. (20, I think.)

Another vote for SD7s. I like the Ultimates. Never owned one, but used other peoples'. They're nice, but I think I prefer the SD7, and the pricing certainly accentuates the fact

You just listed half the features I love about my bike.

Pain is your body telling your mind that what you're doing/just did is a bad idea. I know it's really hard, but you should stop riding until you're better. If you don't, it'll just get worse and worse. I have a friend who developed tennis elbow. He kept riding for a while after it started which made the recovery time much longer than it would've been if he'd let it heal when it first became a problem. It was a nice video though!

Does Monster/Relentless/Rockstar count?

What does this feel like? Kinda curious since way back in the day people would run them with, say, 110x5* stems. Does it just ride like a modern 24 with that bar/stem, or is there a hint of the old-school feel about it? (And what's the geo, if you know it?) Did people only run those stems because there wasn't any short high ones about? I know I had a 120x10* on my Leeson and it was nice. Edit: It LOOKS absolutely lovely though

Personally, I can't bear anything other than +70 now Go on some +55 mods and they feel obscure. Go on some +90 and they feel spastic. Maybe it's because they're not my bike and I'm a geo-nazi, or maybe +70 is just the best BB height for a mod

I know, 0* backsweep will be bloody rank, but it's pretty novel! [Edit: Shit link fixed ]

Really? When I've ridden his bike it's both worked more effectively, AND felt almost infinitely nicer than any front mag I've ever used. What about the Triton, Nick? Please don't leave us

To be fair - I hope it hasn't. A 1090/+90 stock would ride far less horrendously than a 1090/+90 mod (...Not at all saying I'd like a stock like that.)

Maybe not my most, but my clip in this was pretty humiliating: :$

Seriously mental stuff man. Granted, I've seen very few videos, but I've never seen rails on a unicycle before! Why was the last clip reversed?

I had a Flak for four years. Really really good. Took a lot of hits. Covers a lot more of the head than others. It finally died a few weeks ago. Replaced it with the £25 661 one, and it feels like it doesn't come down the back of the head nearly enough. Can't fault the Flak. Cheap, good coverage, long lasting, keeps you alive. Haha.

I love his riding, but I love even more how much of a shit his dogs just don't give about nearly getting run over They must've nearly died so many times that they just take a "if it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen" mindset! Haha. Jealous of his nose-manuals, too

Just found this... Not seen it posted here yet - sorry if it has.

A friend of mine runs a 2.4 Fat Albert, and it seems to grip ridiculously well from the goes I've had on it. 700 grams is pretty nice, too Edit: It's not particularly prone to punctures, either. Only seen him get two or three over about three months.

That's what I go by. But then... it's not all about size. It should surely be from remote to central, which would put the PC as the absolute centre, meaning phone-to-PC would be a download. But that feels wrong.
