  1. He's sponsored by Devon County Council which may have something to do with why they used him in particular, but why they used trials I'm not sure.
  2. Whats the biggest wall you can get up bunnyhopping/tapping/pedalhopping?

    Dob Rims

    Dob front, try-all/whatever on the rear would be my preference. If you're concerned about strength, the rear dob rims are lighter than a front try-all anyways.
  4. Its like MBUK all over again.
  5. Thats a sweet rolldown actually, go to Bonehill if you want to try it.
  6. A better advert would be a giant picture of his beard with students emerging from it.
  7. Its a shame they still kick us out when we try to ride the uni
  8. Exactly, you seem very clued up on the subject which is good to see! I dunno if any one knows how hard it is to find oil now the obvious places have been exploited (i.e a huge anticline in a shale parasequence {a big hill in a [predominantly shale area}), but seismic techniques are getting better and better by the day, the resolution has improved massively over the past 3 or so years i've been 'interested' in oil. As that technology gets better, the risk decreases as you have a better idea of whether you'll get a dry hole ( ) or not. Increased certainty decreases costs which makes previously uneconomically viable sources viable. This = 'more' oil (or a reserve as we call it, money in the bank if you will) which is good for everyone. The majority of North America and Canada is made up of oil shale, which has yet to be exploited and is estimated to yield over 6 trillion barrels of oil. Aaaaaaaaaannnnyways, whats this thread about again?
  9. I presume those sources are from within the media? As you well know, even the least biast media sources are skewed somewhat by various factors. I'm a 3rd year Applied Geology student (so i learnt about oil production/prospecting etc last year) and my lecturers are or have been heavily involved with the oil industry. In my eyes, thats the least biast source, as its totally independant from the government/media and is 'straight from the horses mouth' so to speak. They have all said the media and government is blowing the whole deal up, and there are huge resource bases yet to be exploited.
  10. We're really not. Oil production has not peaked yet.
  11. As I said on OTN, those sections look damn scary... Would love to do a comp like that though, looks alot of fun.
  12. I'm a lvl 63 nighthawk
  13. No thats pretty poor.
  14. My mums parents didn't like the dvd player we got them as they couldn't understand it. My dads father has every gadget going PC wise, along with about £20g worth of camera equipment he uses to take pictures of birds and flowers.
  15. Well as long as you don't get in anyones way and make an effort to join in, theres no problems at all. Don't let lack of skill put you off either, we were all there once.

    You did the right thing, they ride much better
  17. Its cool I know what you're on about, I didn't say compress your front tyre, you want that to be in mid air. Back in the day when this move was cool, I found it harder if my front wheel was actually touching something.
  18. Just ride your bike more, it'll come with practise.
