    Beau

    sorry to hear it, sounds like a horrid way to go. HOpe everyone around him can work through it ok. was nice chattin to you when i did beau
  4. kinda answered your own question min....or get someone to sell u a cheap deng headset for £5 from the for sale bitty. alternatively, buy another headset (of not deng make), dengs headsets always broke on my bikes. Never had any problems with dengs non-moving parts, but the moving stuff, wasnt so great
  5. get to france.....its schwal beh (pronounce the W, cos no-one likes the germans )
  6. double disc sucks on a stock.....so im hoping its a mod

    seriously how can you afford this...you work in alpine bikes!!! http://www.300zx.co.uk/
  8. minion + DH tube = pretty heavy (but will not puncture (unless you run stupidly low pressures)
  9. hope i can get my taps back, and be a beast like stanners. ben looks good on the mod. but still rides stock like a beast. adam,.......erm........hmmm.......sweet looking bike . (only kidding, nice sidehop you whoppper)
  10. As forteh says, i HSBC is what i used, fine and dandy, and i got an interest free overdraft (not that i need it) with them when i graduated.
  11. gotta love trade discount eh.....now you just gotta get to the standard of riding to warrant boxxer world cups
  12. shovel has a trek session that he rode down the fort bill track.... for someone starting out, i would probably recommend a free-ride bike over a dh specific bike, as its more maneuverable, and probably lighter. hate to tell you also mike, your bike is a freeride bike . as its been said, i would probably say that the only track that is suited more to a DH bike than a freeride bike is the track at fort william.
  13. if you wanted a contributor, id be more than happy to do some stuff if you decide to pursue your goal. obviously, if your doing this magazine, my preference is that you would cover all areas of the UK as a minimum. The problem with MBUK is they generally cover the south, in fact i think they only know that north of sheffield exists when they go for a trip to fort william for the worlds, and even then, the coverage of trials is minimal. kind of sucks ass. I like the idea of a non-paper based magazine, where you had to make a payment to view the whole magazine online (pdf format). However, the problem is that this is likely people would end up sticking it up on here and folks would get to see it for free. decisions decisions.
  14. i wouldnt worry about it, your gunna ride a beast on most bikes danny. get something nice and light and you'll fly everywhere
  15. i personally wouldnt, and i would go for something like the trialtech rim (or similar....atomz / try-all etc). HOwever if you are only going for the 24/7 rims cos they are cheap, then you are onto a winner i would say..
  16. bens a beast.... sergio is an awesome photographer....anyone who wants to photograph trials should take note of his skills.

  19. cheers for all the comments guys. much appreciated. phil - it was just quickly edited, as many people have said natural is not great to edit / watch / film in a video, i wanted some clips 'out-there' and i expect ill be back up to standards for the next video i release . Rossi - the rocks are in ullapool (north scotland) seriously AMAZING to ride. so much stuff.
  20. Tim Steadman was riding a long wheel base pashley in fort bill this weekend. I didnt get a shot, but it helped tim to a win in his category. More to the point it was orange.
  21. Just want to say a big thanks to everyone who came and rode, and had a great attitude to the other riders. The competition was chilled out, with no ego's which was great. Thanks to the observers, who were all relaxed, didnt seem to recieve any grief off of anyone, and made for a good competition. Big thanks to Fred / Mick / Barbara and all the others who helped organise / set up sections. Really was much appreciated. Some funky prizes for the podium folks as well. That energy drink pretty much took me off my feet, and created a feeling worse than a hangover. Hope you all had a good weekend.
