  1. I like the white one, they should make a black one. =D I can see if these are part of dob, they do look dobish. Am I right in spying a bash mount that can have an Echo bash?
  2. Basically I look at my avatar, and all I get is a line that has a few colours on it (presumeably part of my selected avatar). Can anyone else see this or is it just me? I've noticed that; Joe Maher's, spartan's, Fat Pants, Sonny Clarke's, Hugh Hefner's are all the same. Anyone see it? Whats wrong?
  3. Any Koxx mod; levelboss, Xtp, Hydroxx, Hoesel, anything. Preferably dual disc, but I'm working my way there, I don't want to have my dream bike while I'm still progressing a lot as that would give me nothing to look forward in trials. Once you've had the best bike about, where is there to go?
  4. 7 points , I really need to wait around and see your riding Tom, thats insane. On a sidenote, your glasses don't have any lenses.
  5. 4 dabs is the same as 3 dabs? Intentionally modifying/changing a section (intentionally changing the subject of a post ). 10 penalty points Use of abusive language or throwing bike: 1st time = warning, 2nd and subsequent infractions give penalties. 2 penalty points Gate Foul, entering or exiting the section from the wrong place. (Posting in the wrong forum ) 5 penalty points Yea just a joke but I understand what you mean Jon.
  6. Only thing I can say is check the whole length of the cable, make sure nothing is obscuring it or holding it in a certain position when it is pulled hard. Change your inner and outer wire and see if that does anything.
  7. I agree with everyone else and think that it is just another screw on hub on the market. I prefer the splined hubs as its less off a pain removing the cog but ah well. I'm sure if this was about last year when I bought my rear hub, I would have gone for one of these to match my Pro2 on the front, at least mod riders can have matching hope hubs. =D A mod Pro2 would definately be the selling point though, as currently there are no mod freehubs with a disc mount. And only other freehubs are Deng ones (too much speculation on whether they are good enough), Chris King (too expensive for your average rider), and Profile. Only thing that comes close to having a disc mount is the Chris King BMX hub with a modified ISO shell, but again the cost comes into that. If a mod Pro2 freehub was to be released at the same price as the stock one, it would be the cheapest on the market (aside from the deng ones), and that comes with the extra of a disc mount which would really make it sell.
  8. I just don't see why you need to change your bike so much, I wouldn't say your riding is good enough to change from one frame to another (unless of a damage such as a crack). Thats Steve Rogers who rides for Heatsink bikes, in this video he is riding a Zona Zenith (which he still rides now), before 2007 he was riding a T-Rex frame, and had been for a couple of years. You'll see he has standard Onza bars, Onza forks, bodged chain tensioner, old buckled try-all rims and before he managed to get Heatsink as his sponsor, his brakes barely worked (bodged 04 pulling back into the lever), he has remained with this set-up for years. God knows what bike he could have, and possibly how much better it may make his riding, but he still gets along just fine with the same bike. Good luck on fitting that.
  9. So a CZAR, to an Echo, to a Bionic to an Adamant? And you've been a member here for less than a year, can you justify the need to change your bike so much? Get a bike and ride it.
  10. Landing a high spin dirt set fakie..... right...? That commentator sure isn't the man for it.
  11. Ah with Reece having a new job, and only just having the day off yesterday, it isn't good for him to have days off all the time as no doubt they will be unable to rely on him to come into work if he does. I'll be up for riding Chelmsford on the Saturday, haven't been there in ages. But I'm working on the Sunday, sooo....
  12. Trial was good, shame it rained at the beginning of my second lap, I managed to get a few good scores on the first lap, but the rain was just too much for me on the last lap. BBQ trial sounds good, I think I'm going to find myself a tent now.
  13. Well I'm assuming your all gravy on pedal hops and gaps. You apply a bit of power to your pedals as you sidehop, so you release your brake and the very end of the prehop motion and engage it again once your rear wheel is from the floor. Although some people don't need to use the brakes at all once they've hopped upwards, and if you can land a sidehop without having to use any brakes thats a sign of a good sidehop. But you'll come to that in the future, for now just start on a nice comfortable sized wall (around 20inch is good, not too small not too big), just sidehop as though you hadn't had all of these points explained and then practice it, each time adding a new step to the sidehop. So once your comfortable with getting onto the wall, make your prehop a bit bigger/longer and see if that makes you go any higher, and repeat for the other steps.
  14. Well basically I remember a fairly good song, I can't remember the tune, but I thought if I remembered the video I could soon find out the tune. Basically the video includes like a family with blank faces, just like no eyes, mouth hole, noses etc. I would say the genre is indie/light rock, it was on MTV2 when I saw it I think. Just trying to figure out the song now, anyone know what I am talking about?
  15. I always found it troublesome learning to sidehop after watching people with expert techniques like shown above. I also found it easier to sidehop in the direction of my forward foot (which most people say is wrong). But just think of it this way; a sidehop is what it is called, it is a way of hopping up or over something whilst being side on. Don't worry too much about tuck or preload yet, just get side on with a small wall and hop onto it, you've done it, its a sidehop. It may not look clean you might lose your balance instantly but its a sidehop. Once you've done it a few times you can alter your technique, I do what Danny mentioned and that is to pause whilst on the backwheel once you've found a good point of balance. Watch a video of Damon Watson doing a sidehop, he hops then holds still on the back wheel, then sidehops upwards, I find this is good as it makes you focus and control the prehop more. 0:35 in this; Another way to think of a sidehop, is that you are just gapping upwards, and I find that my gapping technique (my pause, my prehop, my extend and then tuck) is very similar to that of a sidehop, but obviously straight on level, rather than straight up and side on.
  16. Nice, do lvoe those frames, so low and neat. Get some Deng forks, and pink grips then your all sorted man. Maybe a change on the bars if you really wanted to top it off.
  17. Newest one out is GTA Vice City Stories, personally I wouldn't say its anything special, if you've played it on PS2 or got it on PS2 its basically the same and not really worth getting. Get another game with your money.
  18. Now thats what I call a crack. Some nice stuff, but your definately one of the harsh street riders, that frame snap was inevitable. Get a nice Deng frame. =D
  19. Sodium trials frames? I don't know just tell meeeeee. =D please.
  20. Doesn't really matter about what subjects you took its just the grades as they show what you are capable of. I know that a media course is very English based so they will want a good result in GCSE English, which depending on the level of course you opt to do, could be a low GCSE right up to an A. And as well as some other passes in other subjects (for mine they want 5 A-C's, and 1 of those being English). Just hope it all goes well.
  21. Yea I found it a bit difficult to use, mainly didn't have much time for it either. I mean all it really does is make nice titles, but at the moment its not like I need to edit every video like that, so I stick to solely using Sony Vegas.
  22. Apart from the fact how it looks exactly the tutorial examples which can be made in After effects. Just play around with the tutorials and get confident and create something more original. There are way too many people who have just got to that state in After Effects and just used those titles, its like the overused effects in WindowsMovieMaker. For some inspiration, have a look at the videos under the HD column. http://www.26twenty.com/media.html
  23. New rule? no linking of the word "the" or similar words such as "a".
