  1. i think he is sponsored by chris king? and would hope that if he is, then he would ride a king hub EDIT: HE ISNT SPONSORED BY KING. SO MAYBE OLD RYAN RIDES A SAINT HUB. Now i know why he started his manifesto styleee.....cos his shimano hubs cant stand up to numerous hopping!
  2. Ross, when ur over there, let me know how much u get a HD camera for and ill see if i can afford for you to buy me one!!! ta min
  3. Nope You are correct, it is a downgrade.....needed some money, so the ultimate had to go. Brake seems pretty much perfect so far though Ross: my video will be a short one. The scottish muckers one will be as long as it needs to be
  4. i cant sidehop as high over a bar as i can onto something, to be honest im shit at sidehopping over stuff.
  5. like i said in my post, u ride well on the stock, but it doesnt suit you because your small and young. Id stay stick with stock, and be a freaking man
  6. I got rid of mine cos i moved to czar (non-horiztonal dropouts) and now im riding for atomz. I have put down to ride the top, non-seeded, level, as i didnt know if i would be allowed to ride that category. (although i probably should) ill speak to the organisers when i get there.
  7. Cheers for the comments guys, Video should be up next week (only a smaller vid compared to normal ).
  8. for chain tension....there is NOTHING that matches a rolhoff....NOTHING. didnt i explain how to lock out the mech to you loon.....
  9. much better . Im hoping to get to borrow si's camera more often. Im not claiming to be fatmike / f-stop / joe maher but ill try get some decent ones. Specially for the website
  10. hey aaron....long time no speak! You coming over to fort bill this year? Why not try running a 17:14 or something similar? change the cog on the front to suit your ratio? I had 18:16 on my bike, when i had horizontal dropouts, but you must have man legs to be able to power that ratio
  11. worst comment ever???? or are you laughing at your red socks? everyone i have showed the pictures too has!!!
  12. aidan, im riding stoney tommorow night after work, so come out and ill show you exactly what to do..... you will not need do use a zip tie, and the spoke trick is easy. I cant belive all the difficult explanations on this....its so simple .
  13. bike looks a little big for u just now, but im sure in time when you get to true grips with the bike you will be a true monster on your bike . Now start to ride with more imagination though.....less tgs, more tgs linked into lines (see the morley video with ali c in it.....)
  14. So, last weekend, we went away to ullapool in the north of scotland, had an amazing weekend, some awesome riding happened, had some ace banter, so cheers for that boys. I dont normally take photo's, but i borrowed a mates SLR camera for this trip, so thought i had better put some pics up on trials forum. This is a selection of the photos, however i might add some more later, or i might not . Feel free to criticise constructively.......in no particular order, i present the scottish muckers....
  15. So, was away at the weekend on my first ride of the new bike, initial impressions / video footage gives me the impression i suit the bike more, blasting some stuff bigger than i would have imagined on my first weekend o riding the bike. So here are some pics. Cheers to the guys @ Atomz for the bike, Dave @ Trialtech for his continued support, and the guys at tarty for being ace as always. ta
  16. They have to be confirmed by an independent adjudicator.....and as such 'official' attempts dont happen often...
  17. Actually....i just found this.... So there u go
  18. possibly - http://www.attitudebikes.com/Biketrial/new.html
  19. i had to turn it off, for one reason and one reason only.....a superman teeshirt

    Bruno Arnold

    lol chill out damon, he got his maths wrong and thought that the sidehop over was a little over 56" and as you put a 56" sidehop in your last video, he basically meant that you might be able to match the sidehop 'record'
  21. not quite a hydroxx....but still nice none-the-less
