Captain Scarlet

Summer is drawing to a close, so why has there been no mention of a Clacton ride? So yea 23rd of August (A Saturday), 10 at the pier, and all the decent riders can join fashionably late as usual at the rocks down the end anytime after 10:30. Lets make it a biggy =D St. Osyth now, the rocks there are better.

Ahaha thats awesome, if thats not good then I don't know what is.

That Americans are hypocritical.

Yea teacher at my school did that, he's got more than one car so he thought he'd give it a try in his oldest.

Deng has done it all before, hence why my Echo pads are beast and have very little wear life.

Thats a good find, I'm already hooked don't know if it will ever top line rider though. =D I'm just confused about the differences between water sticks and wooden sticks, like what each one does? I'm also stuck on the level where you have to go over a gap.

What kind of tar have you heard of people using? I was out riding in pouring rain the other day and could hold myself on the back wheel as normal when my rim was completely soaked (please no innuendo's). (I just had to make sure I dropped the front when gapping ) No I would not buy it, as I bought a block of it a year and a half ago, and its only got a bit smaller in that time I have been using it.

Asbestos.

I don't see why everytime a Yank hears a person from the UK in the lobby on COD4 they are all "Oh My God!". I mean, aren't they the nation who are more to their roots in christianity than we are, surely thats blasphemy? Oh so that was why you was on a different account when we played MotoGP then Baz?

I think so, wasn't it rumoured that Prince Charles run his car on Wine? Or someone else I can't quite remember. Thats Methane.

Depends on your rate of riding and what you would call bed in. I rode my bike around on and off with the front brake whilst doing normal trials for around an hour to get mine to hold well doing front hops and things. Gave it to my jump biker friend and he pretty much did the rest in about 10 minutes.

And how exactly did you land it without disturbing the flow of riding?

Avid BB7, or find someone who has an Onza T-Bird and offer to buy or swap front brakes with them.

From a 1005 wheelbase to a 1030 wheel base your talking a 25mm increase in the distance your axles are apart. (2.5, tiny) Biggest different you can make to your bike would be handlebars and stem, try a new set-up and see if that makes it any different. You may also want a change in BB rise.

I brother had his removed a couple of months ago. He is 20, was resting/eating non solid foods for about a week and felt a bit bad, then got better and kept it easy for another two weeks (the hospital said about 3 weeks off work, just to minimise the risk of infection with other people). He used to get it alot and is now really glad that he had them removed, he also said how he used to wake up in the morning with a really congested/clogged/sore throat (even when he wasn't suffering from tonsilitis) but since having his tonsils removed he hasn't had that in the mornings anymore.

Relist it mate, sell it as UK only. My brother done that with a 100W guitar amp, collection UK only, then some Swede bought it. Althought he arranged a courier to come over and collect it, not sending it to a dodgy address lol.

Brilliant place to test, UK?, dry weather?, surely not? Anyway, summer is coming to an end, who is going to to buy dry weather pads?. =D Best of luck, if it can top a set of Echo pads on a smooth rim then you've got yourself a potential buyer.

Ooh I've just looked closer, are those external headsets?

I do remember seeing something quite similar to these, the Chinese manufacturer "CAG" who produced Minimmoto's and Minicrosses that retailed anything between £100-£250 in the UK, also made a trials version (petrol like the other minimotos). Although like any other chinese engine, they were terrible.

I suck with numbers, I've found at work if I am dialling a number from the diary or a sheet, it takes me ages to put all the numbers in, I then compare the numbers that I have with the ones on the sheet and look blankly at them, then the next number, hesitate then put it in. Or maybe it is just OCD with numbers?

I want the pro frame soo bad! Will they be sold seperately, and how much? Also would Moore and Large still be distributing them? From personal experience, on hold and bite the Onza disc brake out performs my hope and many of my friends bb7's, the brake lever isn't the greatest in the world so change that and you'll all be sorted. They all look so good. I also like the fact how sticky fingers are only present on the Rip, its a good improvement to see every model with Creepy's as standard.

Its gotta be mod Steve-o, I don't know how your videos get any better, that sidehop over part of one wall to the thin bit of wall on the mod made me cringe. Am I right in thinking the majority of the spots on the mod are in Chelmsford? Oh and thats the song you was going on about then. =D

Tom Hutley The possibilities with trials in the olympics are endless, it doesn't necessarily have to be competition trials, but speed trials, or even sidehop competition going over a bar, then there will be a definate world record. I'm backing it.

And his personal quote under his avatar suggest he likes bags of meat. =D

Another argument for not being able to get so high when going in the direction as your forward foot is that tucking the bike into you is a lot harder due to your leg/foot position. You'll see that Tunni has a really weird tuck, and in one video he sidehops over really high tape whilst on a mod (in the tuck he pulls the bike is hardly into his body and legs all twisted). I learnt to my correct way, sucked at it and always clipped the rear wheel. Learnt it my incorrect way, got about 33" the first day I tried it, but I didn't like the fact how I landed front wheel way before the rear one (it was like cheating, and I couldn't sidehop over things this way). So I went back to my correct way and eventually learnt how to sidehop as high. As a result, I can now sidehop both direction (one cleaner than the other) but still a sidehop none the less. To be honest no matter what it looks like or feels like, if the bike gets you from floor to wall in a sideways fashion then its a sidehop, and if it gets you up big walls even more bonus.
