Haha, I did hope for something a little closer to his actual name! Great effort though mate, good on you for getting it done I bet he's stoked

7 new photos up and 2 videos from this month. Knock yourselves out ladies.

And you haven't posted up a hilariously awful touchscreen+stylus Martyn Ashton signature yet?!

Did Martyn sign for it?

I couldn't look directly at any of them for fear of permanent retina damage.

I had an awesome time Rode some cool spots, met some cool people, made new friends, caught up with old ones. Great day (and night).

People choose not to use mineral oil because it's not as good as a water bleed. Water is also (practically) free. It's not often in life that better performance comes from the cheapest method!

That was suprisingly cool! Sometimes the gimmicky storyline style videos can be annoying but this was pretty cool! I was a little confused at the start because, being that I've never heard of Rick Koekoek before, he said about trials then blasted out on a motocross bike.. I didn't know what was going on until I saw him reach for a bicycle helmet! Anyway the dutch rule, I could sit here for hours just listening to the dude talk. Love it.

Awwwwww You suck, Swales.

Not sure who you're referring to here but I don't recall seeing anyone hating on the Triboulat's in this topic. I made a joke about them offering it to us for free and that was about it. I'll be there getting my photo taken with Yohan :bow:

Except for that one!

http://eightypsi.com/ Filmed in a couple of hours after some shows, crap lighting unfortunately. You should also watch Twenty Six if you haven't yet seen it.

I assume that's because he used the editing package that comes with the GoPro.

Really?! You know you can just make a topic on here and organise a ride!

It's strange really, this type of riding is preeeetty much all I've ever done and a lot of the other guys that feature in my videos are the same. It's just that as trials has been more popular, the newer generations of riders kinda have a choice of path they can take: pure or street. There doesn't seem to be a middle ground really. I think in many ways the oldschool style is proving to be very popular because it's far more accessible than pure trials. The bikes are less daunting and more practical, a lot of the moves can be perfected faster than learning to do trials moves, it's generally regarded as 'cooler'. That kind of thing. I still think newer riders would be much better off learning to ride trials before they learn to do footjam whips, but that's always the way.. You go to any skatepark and there will be a kid who can footjam whip a bmx but can hardly bunnyhop. These photos were taken the year Inspired came out I think haha It's weird seeing myself on a bike with no seat...

Some cool lines in there, nice one. Looked pretty smooth too! Last shot was nice

We do recruit occasionally, drop me a PM if you'd like an application form. We'll keep your details on file and drop you a line if/when we'd like to interview you.

Cheers, Joe! The Arcade loves it, just keeps screaming for more! As always it's the Hope branded parts that keep wimping out on me! Merci! Did we even get a photo of the fiver-vagina?! I'll try my best dude... Time is running out for me though.

Can we just get back on topic please? I'm asking people how they think hoverboards are going to change the world.

It wouldn't be very stable. The ones in the HUVr board are also, obviously, much more powerful. I was just showing what's already available for a price of £35. I expect the first HUVr boards will probably be upwards of a grand because the technology in them is much more advanced than in the one I linked you to. Obviously in time the price will fall though.

Did you not click on my link?

*revolutionary What makes you think the military aren't already using this technology? Is it because it hasn't been on the news? http://www.rapidonline.com/Education/Strength-of-Electromagnet-06-0592/?source=googleps&utm_source=googleps&gclid=CIuv2cGj-7wCFYQfwwodgm4AEg That's a battery operated electromagnet that runs off a 9V battery and can lift 150kgs

What proof? So far all you have is the fact that there are no wide shots? You're basing your dismissal of the HUVr board purely on the video editors choice of shots? As far as I can tell there is far more evidence supporting it that disputing it. If they were going to go to all this effort for a hoax, why wouldn't they just wait a month and do it on April 1st?
