He's got skills but his presentation is utter shite, just another David Blaine to be fair.

I'd love to mate, unfortunately working my socks off. I'm feeling the street? -
Awesome video, really made me want to ride. Morg sure has some serious power going to rear, such a beast.

Such a combo Drei and Seddon are, absolute beasts!

Lose some belly. Drink more water. Have a bit of a longer relationship. Ride trials like a beast!

Climaxing. Finally getting home and into bed after a long, cold, drunken stumble home from the pub. Going under a bridge/through a tunnel on the motorbike with a blip of throttle, such loud and sexy noises!

Lol, does this kid understand the idea of a supermarket?

Best tip I can give for editing trials videos is simplicity. Keep it as simple as possible, a couple of titles at maximum, no transitional effects need to be used just a normal cutaway does the job. Don't drag out clips too long otherwise your video will become boring, contrastingly; don't make clips too short otherwise it will look jumpy and be hard to get into. Music choice, best go with a genre that is liked universally, don't go for overused stuff like Linkin Park as that will annoy everyone, but a light rock track or indie usually does the job well (as much as I hate the indie genre), and try to make sure it hasn't been used in a trials video before.

Chris Moyles. Radio 1 in general.

I just want to snow to clear so I can ride it a bit more and give better feedback on it. I'll be recording some footage on it as well.

Too much snow!!! Its a bloody pain, my only modes of transport are 2 wheels, so always have to pinch a lift
-
To be fair, its the same as a brake slipping. He shouldn't have bailed out like such a tard. Only one solution to this problem......... DISC!

I had a problem like this when I changed frame, basically the headtube was slightly shorter, so the forks come up inside the stem slightly more, which meant the top cap rubbed against the top of the forks when done up. It would be fine and then I'd ride it and it would get worse over a period of about a minute or 2. Just check how close your top cap is to your forks, if its too close put another ahead spacer under or on top of your stem, or knock the star nut down a bit.

Wow your amazing! Being able to tell that components won't fit just by looking at a picture!, they should name CAD software after you! I still think its hilarious that everyone kicks up a fuss just because the frame hasn't got the one minuscule specification which they like, its called a taste in this case CLS', if its good enough for him then I think everyone else can live with it. Personally, the geo is not my cup of tea, but you don't hear me whining about it.

Got my Japanese dragon started last week, obviously needs more work and shading on it. I didn't know how the booking went with them, and as I was talking to a spaz of a receptionist she said "yea 2 hours will be fine", got there the next week the tattooist said it would be more of a 3 hours job. So he did all the outlining as quick as he could so he wouldn't have to re-stencil it next time. Needs another hour touching up the lines, then however long to get it shaded, still unsure for colours or whether to have it black/grey. Then looking to get it with wind bars, cheery blossoms, a coloured lotus flower on the inner bicep, and then work on moving it into a full Japanese sleeve. Pain wasn't as bad as I thought, but then again that's why I chose the bicep as a first tattoo.

Top stuff mate! You have so much control and good balance, your perfect on the rear wheel and didn't stumble through that at all, I can think of numerous developed trials riders who can't do that as well as what you do. Keep it up, I'm sure in a year or so to come you'll be a smooth little beast.

It's the set-up, not the frame.

Had my first ride on it yesterday, dampish conditions. Back wheel feel is awesome, definately have so much control on the rear wheel, also more accuracy with the rear wheel (landing in manual/brakeless). I also find it more natural to finish moves on the rear wheel (on my old Limey it was such a struggle to hold the front wheel up, I'd have to drop it the second I did a gap or tap). Next upgrade is to sort out my chain line, the slap is getting on my nerves and will definately give me a big confidence boost!

Only part timer but this makes me sound terrible Halfords is about 0.6 miles away from my house, I use the motorbike and it takes me about 2 minutes max, takes longer getting all my gear on and off! My other commute is 3 miles away, so its just a blast down the bypass and I'm there in under 5 minutes. Lazy....?
