So, I have been filming this for a while, edited it 4 or 5 times with different tracks, messed about with it. Still think i need to improve my actually filming techniques (or those who do it for me (just messin) and clean my wide angle lens a bitty. However, this is my latest video its 4 mins long, quicktime format - 60mb, Cheers to the guys who have supported me - heatsink, tartybikes and czar. ALLLL your comments are welcome.

my favourite........

Google??? ???? p.s click the link, i even typed in the words for you!

still riding in shorts and teeshirts BASTARDS. some nice shots though

i dont ever remember writing something like that....obviously was a bad day in the office for me

I enjoy riding my bike, i cant tick any of those boxes because not one stand out. I have gone through stages of enjoying it, then not enjoying it, then back again. ive met some reet good folk through riding my bike, and as much as the bickering on here PISSES me off, i have one or two of my best mates through trials. It will be a long time till i give up. Anyone who ticks that box - For sponsorship - needs to get over themselves. Sorry, yes im sponsored, but im my opinion its for reasons other than my riding, i have never proclaimed to be the best rider out there, far from it, i believe that there are other reasons people have sponsored me. Trials isnt big enough for ego's. Thats my moan and appreciation of a decent topic for once

yes it is a mod, deng sent me it when i was riding for adamant. I hate mods, so ill never be getting one offa deng again. OH GOD I HATE MODS....its not the way the adamant rode, its just mods in general.

Only the ones wayne has been close to.....rough badger is that wayne

haha are you drunk.....i have no style whatsoever. im rough and ready, thats about it....haha erm.....i wear anything that comes my way, im an architect, and i guess outta the lot o them i ride most like damon / tunni / craig

mods are the devils bikes.....hate them.....

Get a hair cut wayne....yorkshire monkey..... Andrei definately needed a deal like this, awesome rider, awesome guy, always chatty (well has been to me) Well played wayne good to see you back with a company....

To answer your question about damon....he is seriously just an amazing rider. When he started, he was on low bb bikes and was awesome on them. He was doing 50" sidehops on his onza t-rex when he got that. Freak o nature, however i think high bb will help for sidehops, mine did anyway, however for anything else it wasnt as great. Anything that requires keeping the bike to back wheel well is better on a high bb! thats my opinion.

is danny riding for atomz now? or is he riding for onza still? why the change?

actually never imported into the UK due to the tensile patent....or something similar. Mine was fine, ill sell it if someone wants, just decided i wanted to try a different ratio, and that meant a pro II

hmmm, i agree whole heartedly with your comments there wayne. I can see a four page article would need a story, which is fair enough. I suppose my main point was the writing. Now, the trials community is currently getting split by these kind of comments. For example, i rode in leeds two or so weekends ago, awesome ride, with some of the best riders in the UK, all different styles, all working off each others enthusiasm, pushing each other, all the while, having a good laugh. There was no pricks there, everyone appreciated what everyone else was doing. However, we come on here, make a video, and people criticize because of what moves we put in videos, each video should be appreciated for what it is. Now i for one appreciate constructive criticism, however, when some dick shoots off and slags the video without thinking about it, that pisses me off. There are a few of these people on our forum, who go about slagging off riders videos, without appreciating their work. yes the are only doin sidehops, whic, but the size of some of these sidehops are huge, how can u not appreciate that. Anyway back to my point, we do enough slaggin of each other on here, well the younger generation do, beacause i have a fairly good relationship with some of the riders on here and i quie appreciate their criticism, as well as their appreciation of my riding. But everyone is slagging off the different styles as BORING. This is the stupidest thing ever, and wont help our sport. MBUK, are only adding to this, there was NO reason to add the bit in brackets in that article. It added to nothing, and just further ruins our sport. I assume it was written by someone who rides trials, and with which i hope that they know how much damage this does to our sport. If it was written by someone who doesnt do trials, then they shouldnt be writing about our sport anyway. In my opinion.

kitchen sink remix

who wrote that little bit on chris in MBUK? cos it pisses me off that they had to get a subtle dig in thre about trials riders who hop about, yes chris is taking his style to the next level, and fair play to the lad, he has some style, but taking a subtle dig at the majority of trials riders, just isnt the way to go....MBUK piss me off. I hope one day they feature articles on riders who are in the modern day group. Big proper 4 page articles, on the big riders of today (damon, danny, neil, etc) and stop just using the usual lot. that does bug me back on topic. bike looks rank.

how old are your cogs? if they are under a month old, then no, they will be fine..... how olds the chain? if its a KHE u might have a stiff link in it. i remember when i had a khe it was f**ked within a week. with stiff links. hence going back to a kmc....get a new one o them and see if it works. remember with a surly though, its a wide cog front and rear. so get the wider kmc...i reckon this should solve your problem

aye i run it. 17 15 on my czar, havin nae bother at all. dont run a collapse though....just get a kool chain. no need for a collapse, unless your a fatty. or damon...

why do i feel like im really old by sayin this....but its uncool not to wear a helmet....and if he is sponsored by deng he shouldnt be. not a good example to be setting sorry but its true

yer he would be struggling even more to pay, cos it cost more....and if ur talking about running it on cooking oil. then thats silly as well...
