Well i've been away from the trails scene for over five years now and just got myself a new (to me) stock. Was just wondering if any of the parts are outdated or mega heavy? I have ordered a bash ring and new rear break (hs33). I posted a link below and would like to know what you would change for weight and strength reason. I just want to do it all in one go and then be done for hopefully a few years. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/topic/180979-zoo-piranha-2009/ Harry

Well i have not been on here long (come back to a old account from years ago) but I have noticed a big problem with people being scammed. On a motorbike website I use they use a very simple rule which seems to work. Whatever you are selling you need to upload a picture (which 90% of people will do anyway) and next to the pictures of the thing for sale you need a piece of paper with you'r username and current date wrote on it. Also I have noticed alot of sites ask for a land line number (which is kept by mods) and only given out when there is clearly a problem and someone has lost money/parts. I know not everyone has a landline so maybe have a few options e.g link to a active facebook page, mobile number, address etc etc. Nothing is ever going to be 100% fool proof but I think this would narrow it down ten fold and the picture idea is a very simple thing to do, If someone can not be bothered to take a few photos then chances are they are not going to be bothered about wrapping or sending you'r new product. It's just an quick idea. Harry

Ok so when m bike gets here and i start riding again (had over five years off bikes) should I just start doing it the normal way from the off or go with the way i would find easier until i have some technique down and then switch sided later. Harry

Well coming from a BMX background, I ride right foot forward and have my BMX pegs on the right side which means that i'm used to hopping to the right with my right foot forward, Just been watching some trials videos and it looks like people who ride right foot forward side to the left. Was just wondering why this changed between bike as the action is the same. Harry

It's behind the sea life centre mate, The picture does not show everything, there are also the same type of rocks in a small bed of water so only the tops show! Loads of benchs ( which are movable) and some bigger rocks with similar sized gaps. I spoke to the manages in the sea life centre and she if fine with people riding it as long as there is no damage, litter and we go when it's not open which is in the winter and after 5 on a week day or after 4 on a sunday

Well as of yesterday i have a new one even though i have not rode it yet. Best bit it's about a 5min walk from my house

Oh yeah, Sweet man, will do

This is Sunday boys. I won't have a bike for it due to parcel force being useless. But ill be there on a fixie and hopefully sneaking a go on peoples bikes. Harry

Lol just saw this, No worries sorry about the double post

Got the video <iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/video/embed?video_id=4742697601603" width="1280" height="720" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Lucky to have that close by looks like a great spot. But were is it? Harry

Well this might make people have a few more places to ride, I'll go first.. Were: somervell drive, Fareham Why: It's a very simple spot but only rideable in the winter as the plants are not there. Yes the people who live there are fine with it.

It depends what i'm riding sometimes two fingers just won't do it :wink2:

Yeah im on there. Have sorted a little ride out for next Sunday. Let me know if you need any help with the tunnel, i have a van and am a carpenter so got lots of tools. May take a snoop around town for pallets etc this friday. Just though i also have some 240volt strip lights and can have a word with the bmx lot see if we can sort a string out off there generator as i know most of them from photography ? Harry

So glad I just got myself a helmet !

It was ment to be mate but some others can not do Saturday so... Yeah 11 is no problem i'll change the post quickly Harry

WOW, Can you be my long lost brother please. That must fell amazing every time you ride knowing you made it yourself. Ever thought about making some custom made stuff ? I know it would take alot of time but if you enjoy it and can make a little money for you'r effort then why not? Harry

Well got a few people coming to ride Portsmouth on Sunday the 31st if anyone want's to come and join us let me know. We could meet at guildhall steps at 11 ? Got dr six (and two friends), dan rider g and maybe aukska coming so far so should be a good day. If the weather turns crap we can always ride a undercover spot and I will use the van to go get some pallets. Harry

Nice, What's the deal with the tunnel now? I went there before to do some filming for a few bmx friends. Just seen you'r in Southampton, there are a few of us riding in Portsmouth next weekend if you fancy it ? Will probably be the Saturday Harry

Very nice. Clean and simple.

Sounds good well there is you, dan rider g, aukska uk, me and you'r two friends so should go a pretty good day. Harry

Yeah he said he is up for coming too, not spoken to him today though. Got quite a few people to come laugh at me now then. I've not rode in about 5 and a half years so...
