Captain Scarlet

I thought its said "nora's", wouldn't have got "No rush though" although it of course is the correct one. That's the southern opinion though!

The way I learnt was down a quiet road/street, if you start in the road and then gap to the kerb landing front wheel first of course. I started by being on the back wheel and my front wheel literally hovering over the top of the kerb, then without a pedal kick I changed my weight from the back to the front, literally just flicking your weight forward. This gives you the feeling of the weight transfer technique required. Then from there you just start building it up, start half a foot back from the point where you was and add a pedal kick into it, you should be able to pick it up very soon. I found it much easier to learn from flat up to something (like 1 pallet or a kerb) as you are dropping your front wheel or changing your weight a lot, which of course you do when you gap from 1 pallet to 1 pallet. I find it much scarier to gap to front on two flat objects, whereas having one more raised than the other is less daunting (as your front wheel it nearly at the right height for it).

Friend on mine had an app which was an all in one speedo/speed camera detector/fuel guage/mileometer for his motorbike. He used it as his motorbike (like many) doesn't actually have a fuel gauge so he could work out when to fill up without having to worry about resetting the trip meter that is on the bike. Also as it was an older bike it runs on an analogue speedo, so having this GPS aided app gave him a much more accurate speedo. And then the speed camera detector is an extra bonus I suppose.

I didn't know Gavin but can't stop watching this. Such a well made video, brings a smile to my face, but also sorrow for the fact he is not with us any more. So unfortunate, RIP.

Missed out on a good chance to ride today, but I realised I also have next Sunday off! Itching to ride, what is going on and where, I'm feeling Clacton, haven't riden those sea walls in a long time, but of course I wanna hear where you guys wanna go. Let's do this!

http://www.trashzen.com/ Is a little bit dated picture and video wise, but just about every technique and move is on there (aside from really techy stuff like frenchies). As for instructing, you can be taught the move but getting bigger is something that no-one can teach and only you can do yourself.

Cracking colour, and the geo sounds sooo tasty! I may have to invest in one if my 320 cracks any more.

1.08 - The sun never shines behind door 2.12......!!!!!

Really not that much of an upgrade in my opinion. Yes my Elite makes a lot of noise, but I really couldn't care. Cannot justify paying £200 for a neater/cleaner version of what I have already got.

No disc tab. A pro2 would be the only mod disc freehub on the market. The only way to get a mod disc freehub is to get a king BMX hub and replace the shell to ISO which has the disc mount. However to most mere mortals this is way too much time and money, and is therefore fairly unfeasable. Both are theoretically impossible, but as for the tube I know Raleigh do puncture resistant tubes which are effectively super thick, only problem is that they don't expand very well, so are limited to slim wheels such a bmx wheels. Yes, this!

I'd be tempted to get one if I got a newish motorbike, not much point getting one for my current bike as I am on a '95 bike which limits me to the options I can have (I believe you can't make your vehicle regsitraion newer than the actual vehicle itself). But bike ones always look cool on the smaller square plates, you can easily put something like; 'R6 TOM', 'RR06 CBR' , 'G6 SXR' etc. Did find a really cool one for me which was really expensive, it said 'HUT 13Y" (my surname is Hutley) but it was £10000! Saw a car on the A12 once with something like 'ES3X BO1' not too sure on the exact layout but it stood out fairly well.

Another smoothly paced video, I love it, really compliments the riding and gives time to take in the line. Love the up to front on that hexagon bench area. Just out of interest, what camera and lens are you using?

It wasn't rendered as HD as there is no selection for HD on the video, that and the aspect ratio. Would be better but the poor shots let it down a bit, and that the music does not compliment your smooth riding style what so ever.

That was lovely! Good song choice to compliment the smooth and relaxed riding. I really enjoyed watching that, can't wait to see the full length video, sure to be winner if there's lots of lines and variety.

It may be worth saving one side if you like your sidehops and rely upon a lot of grip from the edge tread to hold you on the wall. I remember Matt Bird doing this, only that when he fixed a puncture he put his tyre round the wrong way and couldn't sidehop as high due to lack of grip.

Works perfect for me. Chrome.

Such an awesome place for a tattoo! I've seen people with lobes done, but obviously that is good for people with stretched lobes. The lotus looks a bit pink, but that is just where it is sore. My aim is to at least get it fully shaded and blended with the clouds before I go to uni. It's going to be coke bottle red, with some shades of pink to give it some definition, and some green leaves. I'll resize the pictures at some point, stupid phone makes them massive.

Such a smooth beast Toby! What's with the almost silent brake? Love the hook at 00:54, so effortless for something so big!

The Toshiba looks good but bare in mind the storage space on it. It only has a 4GB internal memory and however big an SD card you have, so if you get a lot of footage from a day then you may run out, or have to capture/import it to have enough storage for another day.

What's the hardest thing about riding brakeless? Having to tell your parents that your gay.

Had 3 more hours yesterday, the dragon is finally done and I got a lotus flower outlined underneath it. Wanna get another 3 hour session end of June to get the lotus coloured and a pagoda on the inner arm, and then that shall be enough before uni I think. Pictures up soon.

Only version I could find, classic song!

That's awesome, the zoot looks perfect in the park. What day/time was this?

You need to be able to get to the stage of doing endless amounts of front hops before turning becomes really easy. Alot like when you learnt rear wheel hops, your still trying to balance yourself yet alone turning. and making it harder for yourself. Its comes over time and is a bit of a knack, however you just need to give your handlebars a twitch and emphasise this twitch through your shoulders.
