Wow, that looks great! I wonder if it's worth an 8 hour round trip... haha Fire up some pictures when you ride it on a nice day!!

I think I had a quick chat with you when you first turned up Mr. Zoot. Did you turn up early at the flat bank with the rails?

What pressure is he running on the front? Are lower pressures better for fakie toboggan tire slide thingies?

Yeah, I found the complete box set on Amazon for £50... I'm sooooo tempted! I just recently discovered that I love Columbo. :$

Both have drawn dead ends

Special exclusive trials forum 'rep' for anyone who can tell me where I can watch Columbo online?

Only 5 people?! Damn. You may as well quit. I thought I had it bad being the only rider.

I get up at 7:30am for London rides and sometimes don't get back home until 9pm ish, and that's only because my arms are about to fall off, I'd ride all night if I could. I've wound myself up a bit about this topic now. Just click on cleanzine, look at the pictures, read the words, then ask yourself if the problem is with trials or if the problem is with you and then quit being such a whiny bitch and go ride your bike. http://www.cleanzine.co.uk/

Anyone who thinks trials is dead or isn't about having fun any more should have been in Bristol on Saturday. Trials isn't dying, it's evolving.

You'll get used to it.

Inspired Pros look pretty slick too. I'm struggling to do much damage to mine too, even though I'm not the most gentle of riders!

What's the riding like around you? I'm up in Norwich so it's pennies for me to pop down. Many riders?

The whole car should be illegal IMO.

Just keep your name, it'll be hella funny when you're world champion one day.

aaaaaaaaaand that's why he won Section 001!

My private detective facebook skills are usually more lucrative than they have been with this particular mystery.

If I was you I wouldn't replace anything until it breaks, there's not a lot of point chopping and changing between parts until you've got the basics of trials locked down. Once you start improving and getting more experience you'll begin to notice parts that don't quite feel right for you, especially if you try out other peoples bikes. That's when you can start worrying about upgrades. The pedals on the Rip look fine anyway, only thing I'd consider investing in is some shin pads

Do you have a budget? What pedals are you running now?

I think I'll be doing this soon.

If you're on a budget then this seems like a bargain to me... You could always upgrade the frame to an Inspired later on, because lets face it, you know you're gonna want one eventually. Also I hope Mark reads this topic, I think this is exactly the kind of response he wanted to Clean.

The title infuriates me.

What a day, I seriously don't know where to start!! Mark, massive massive props for pulling it off, I don't think the day could have been more perfect. Weather was awesome, riding was mind blowing and the atmosphere was electric. Big thank you to Inspired and Tartybikes for sorting the prizes. Massive shout to Nick Cooke and Ben Rowlands for shutting Bristol down. I'm reading through all the comments on facebook and in here and trying to put names to faces! I wish I'd chatted to more people on the day but it was damn hard trying to juggle riding, socialising and watching in awe. There better be a Section 002!

I can't see how anybody can argue with that. Everybody is going to have a wicked time whether they win a prize or not, even if you're a non-sponsored rider who comes away with nothing, just be stoked that you were a part of something awesome.
