An Audi 80 estate.

I hope that logic works for you, but it seems to be rather twisted logic in my opinion!

I'd go for an Audi S4 estate in the older shape with the 2.7 twin turbo engine. You can pick them up for under £20k second hand. If all goes well in life, then I'd be looking at an RS6 estate.

Hopefully a home cooked meal.

Haha, those USE trials forks make me laugh. You can get the wheel to touch the downtube if you try hard enough

Which bike is that one Pete? Your 'Coust' had mags front and rear today?

Lol, Power Rangers. Anyways, most important thing in a helmet is fit. They all offer similar levels of protection due to the strict regulations. But if it doesn't fit, it'll be annoying and you'll be less likely to wear it. But more importantly, if it fits properly it'll offer you proper protection in the event of a crash. If your helmet falls off during a crash its useless having one.

I wish i understood german. German trials riders look cool, too. Soem nice riding, thanks for the veedyoo.

Victoria is your best bet dude. If you can get to Orpington/Bromley South you can get a fast train there.

All the experience I've had with them (a couple of drills and various cutting equipment) has been sound.

For the speed camara stuff, Torquenstein has just about everything under the sun that could help you out, and UKspeedtraps has loads of info and tests on the various jammers/scanners/etc. Seems to me the people who are saying stick to the limit are under 17 and therefore unable to comment!

'94 Audi 80 Avant (group 12) on parents insurance, came to £1100 for myself, mum and dad fully comp, and I'll get my own NCB out of it at the end. That was first year when i was 17. Not sure how much it'll come down by for my second year as I havn't been driving a year yet

As i said in the pad review thread, Koxx yellows are shite. Erm... Sorry! Plazmatic/Koxx Red/Blue/Green/Coustelliers are all good.

You're all gay, especially you Matt. Especially you.

They've always had 'Whats on the stereo this month' though? I guess an iPod is just a technological advance.

MBUK got me into mountain biking and trials, no denying that! Also, i recon the fact that 80% of the people on this forum are at a very high standard of riding and have been involved within the scene for ages means they've gained knowledge that 'allows' them to criticise. If you know nothing about trials, MBUK and the trials it contains is amazing. I remember being incredibly excited about MBUK arriving at my door, going to the Bike shows (as Chris explained in one of his posts) and getting out and riding, mainly because i was new to the sport and had so much to learn. I'm at a stage where i know pretty much all i need to know about trials and can make informed decisions about geometry on frames etc. I didn't even know what a chainstay was when i started reading MBUK, let alone an ideal length! So in my opinion it should keep its focus on introducing new riders to our sport rather than trying to cater for all levels of riders. Lets face it, many on this forum are in the top 10% of what Britain/the world has to offer in the world of trials. We know it all. XC'ers interested in trials have no idea, this is where MBUK comes in to introduce them to trials. As for Martyn's comment about trackie bottoms, haha! I wear them for trials because I'm more comfortable in them, but i see his point and thats his opinion which is all good. I want Hawyes back in the scene

Not a trials park, but Buthiers (sp?)/Fontain bleu i think it is. Paris looks good for street, as seen on the Koxx days '05/'06 vids.

48579859 videos/posts on OTN about this, whack it into their search function and you'll find loads. AndyT's one is best.

Herro, where are you from? It'll come up under your 'From: ' section in your profile. If you see someone from your area add 'em to msn or email them.

Do you ride street mainly or natural mainly? If you ride mainly street look at the maxxpro 60a compound, it'll last for ages. 2a difference doesn't make alot of difference, go for the Super Tacky.

Tartybikes. No forsale/wanted in NMC.

Looked at the Easton range?

We need a Mavic produced Maxtal alloy rim in widths between 38 and 47mm, with a ceramic coating. That'd be badass. Also, some improvements to Maguras to make them more trials specific would be good. Though the introduction of aftermarket levers is alleviating this problem. 1 brake compound that actually works awesomely. Rather than 100 that work ok. This would be all i needed

Kona Blast looks good - Personally I'd prefere decent, maintainance free (pretty much) Hayes disks than a more expensive groupset. From my experience the quality of the groupset is pretty unimportant unless you're worried about a few hundred grams. With a groupset like that you can just upgrade the rear mech/whatever as it breaks and it shouldn't cost too much. I've had good experiences with Marzocchi forks. Overall, I'd be tempted by the bikes with better frames/brakes/forks over those with better running gear

Nice Alex, good to see me getting into Plymouth vids already even if it is looking gormless in't background Cool riding, as always stuff looks smaller than it is
