Just because more people ride street now doesn't mean it's a new fad or indeed some kind of weird type of riding that was invented by Inspired. It just means that slowly more and more people are getting excited about pushing the boundaries on what they can do on their bike. I'm certain that everyone in this topic started out learning how to gap and sidehop. They probably spent a long time learning these moves and perfecting them. They probably spent a long time only doing these moves too. But then not everyone decided to leave it there at those few moves, they wanted to experiment and get creative with their riding. My first proper bike was a 26" seatless revell and I rode it pretty much the same way I ride my Skye now. Gap.. Gap... OH MY f**kING CHRIST, A WALLRIDE - GET A BMX!!

I don't think that's what a city bike is designed for...

This is from Sunday, it's not the most stylish hop ever but I quite like the fact that it's got my old bike in the background and I'm loving the way my bike looks and rides too. It was a pretty sweet day all round. Brakeless wise it's definitely going to take me a while to get to grips with it all, but I am loving the challenge. I also think it's pretty hilarious that there's an OTN topic slating the f**k out of me for giving brakeless a go. Some people.. Oh yeah, one other thing.. Despite how weird the perspective is on this, I definitely did make it and I'm not actually balancing on the top of that stick!

Just FYI, if you're requesting a name change to 'Koxx Kid' in line with your new bike then you'll be waiting forever. You're going to be wanting to choose a 'proper' name.

Don't even rise to it guys, let's not turn Joel's topic into an argument. Absolutely loved it, Joel. My favourite clip is definitely the Ali & Mark slide combo. Brilliant! In X years time this video will be the one that I look back on and reminisce about the best days of my life.

Sucker! Did you get excited? :-P

No update as such, but we're all big time and shit now with a .com www.eightypsi.com

Pimp!!

I imagine you must have to have your helmets custom made?

Thanks for sharing your views, perhaps you could start a topic of your own telling us about your thoughts on Christmas. This topic was made to see if anyone has any good Christmas present suggestions.

Turn the gravel over..

So when you said 'why don't you lot just not bother' what you were actually trying to say was that I should give up on my career, leave my girlfriend, move to Thailand, buy a big house and rent a Thai girl? Why is my excitement to get back home and see my loved ones anything to be looked down upon? We all know that we don't HAVE to give gifts, but a lot of people get joy from giving gifts. What's wrong with that? I know nothing of your circumstances and why you're in Thailand (I assume that's where you are..) so it's hard to know whether you are there 'travelling' or there for work or what, but it's important to remember that if everyone just moved to somewhere like Thailand and did what you're doing, the world would be pretty f**ked.

Dual disc is awesome, I've never run cable discs though. If you're after some cheapish hope tech brakes and don't mind a bit of bleeding then I might be able to strike a deal with you

Oh man!

I'll agree that spending a ridiculous amount of money isn't smart and the people who get themselves into debt buying Christmas presents need to have a re-think. But I genuinely feel sorry for you if you don't partake in Christmas. I just think it's terribly sad.

Am I the only person who can't see the geo anywhere?!

I can barely be bothered to reply to this drivel. My 'witty retort' was spawned from the fact you essentially said that you're not going to bother buying her a present and all she'll be getting on Christmas day is you lying there hanging out of your ass stinking of booze. We obviously come from different walks of life because to me that makes you sound like an absolute bellend. My comparison to the Essex stereotype was based on the post you made and the irony that your location is set to Essex. Your hilarious Norfolk skit isn't based on a single thing that I said. Of course I'm going to assume you live in Essex if that's what it says under your name. 2,000 posts over about 9 years.. I clearly don't get out enough. Wow, I can't believe what I'm reading here. I should dump my girlfriend because I'm asking for some Christmas present ideas.. What the actual f**k? Do you honestly not bother buying loved ones gifts at Christmas? 'Tomy P' and Tony, do you guys not even buy your parents gifts? Are you Jehovah's or just miserable bastards? You're both talking as though I'm super stressed out and panicking about Christmas gifts.. I'm really not; I'm just looking for ideas. Jeez. To everyone else thanks for the ideas, keep them coming!

Just because I find it strange that you actually seem to fit the shitty reputation that Essex guys have got. Which is weird, 'cause you're the first Essex person I've had 'contact' with who actually is as much of a tool as those plebs on 'The Only Way Is Essex'.

Location: Essex

If the first time you had sex was the best sex you've ever had; you're doing sex wrong.

@the guy with the weird username; I don't think snapping one pair of forks makes someone a good product tester, many people snap bike parts all the time.. If you don't, you should probably try harder. Anyways, congratulations Andre! I'm jealous :-P

You were supposed to hook a nigga up but you never came through with the goods

I wouldn't know what to do with a Monty M5

Sadly it's that time of year again.. So does anyone have any awesome ideas for presents for the lady in my life? I suck so bad at presents so any help would be greatly appreciated. Anyone that comes up with an idea that gets me sexual gratification will win a mars bar.

Nice one, next step is get a video filmed on it!
