also, i doubt magura would be able to sell water to bleed their maguras with, magura blood is another product that we have to purchase, its not cheap to those who dont work in the industry. water is pretty much free, and would mean magura wouldnt get as much money, im sure they could produce seals to handle water but never will :)

but not if u ride in the wet..........and before anyone says it, my heatsinks are fine in the wet. and if yours arent then tough :P. people forget no ones brakes are amazing in the WET. all brakes will suffer. i have yet to find a pad that works as well in the wet as it does in the dry. if you want a booster. the heatsink booster is stiffer than anything out there :D maybe the control booster is the only competition though, but heatsink booster is cheaper

and for a fatty like 12.8 stone damon watson thats incredible,

well if your talking about his echo rim, i hae frnt and rear rims, and they are truly, truly awesome. Grind is superb. im running an uber low pressure and not got any dents or anything like that. its stable on the back wheel and the front one has taken some massivio taps and bashing and holding up fine. I have a grind front and rear and its perfect. im loving miine :)

well thought i would just say i turned 21 today, feeling a tad worse for wear from last night, but all in all it was good. shame weather is shitty and riding cant be done (Y) specially as me missus is here anyway yer i feel well old, although it dont help that everyone is pointing out grey hairs buggers

for those who gaz's link dont work for here is a link to his file browser, then right click save target as on the file http://tv.isg.si/site/?q=filebrowser/Gazmeredith

Well i obviously have to agree with this as well :P its a really nice bike to ride. different to begin with but had nothing but good things from it. :wub: my toxsin one was also an awesome bike to ride :) most dont like my bike cos i have my magura's set up with lots of lever pull and low bars are always good, currently running zoo bars (the best) and hi-fi low stem on my adamant, with no spacers and feels good :)

dont be such a dick, just cos you dont enjoy at as much as what the rest of us do, you have no place to slate us. So what if you rode in 3/4 length shorts, i ride in trousers and a heatsink hoody most of the time. i have ridden in tracky bottoms before, clothes has nothing to do with it. trials is what my life revolves around right now. for someone like bongo, his life probably revolves around his bmx'ing, im not going to slate him or bmx, its what he does, if i ever say antyhing about something being gay, eg boy racers or bmxing being gay, im generally jesting. If thats what they like to do, good on them. but ur comment about trials kinda sucking because u stopped riding and looked at what clothes u wore is the gayest thing i have ever heard. Just because u rode trials, wasnt the reason u wore 3/4 length shorts daft lad, its a concious decision u made, its not as if u thought.. "man i look awesome in these shorts, but ill only wear em cos i ride trials"

I think im struggling at the moment, and partly down to due with riding in very small groups. However when i rode the comp at the w/e i was riding well and pushing myself because i was in a larger group. However, its motivation, and technique practise when im on my own, im altering my technique now im riding an adamant, its very different but is working, im getting 48" pretty consistently and hitting 50" every now and then. I like to work on different things when its wet / cold and im own my own, like practising sidehopping over stuff. I also adapt my set up alot when im on my own and think if different bar / lever / stem positions could help my riding. Meh i feel im riding pretty shit at the moment, but im still getting used to the adamant. ill let u kknow in a weeks time love xx

Right Guys, Im planning this well in advance as ill be travelling down to Bristol from Aberdeen via hull. So i want to know who would be up for it. I think it could be an awesome ride if we were to get a shitload of people out, also an awesome video could be made :P Ill be there so will Dw@hulltrials --> damon watson --> the beast himself so get your w/e planned and get your arses down there lots o love xx

Damon, Your truly awesome, some stupidly sick stuff going on here, i need to speak to you sometime soon, good video, awesome riding love you lots damon mwah x

im downloading the video now. however the inevitable question has to be... why? why are you stopping Andrew Tonkery Films? Will you be making more vids? WELL THAT VID ANSWERS MY QUESTIONS, I HOPE ALL WORKS OUT WELL FOR YOU ANDREW well got vid in under 2 mins, so im off to watch it

Here are some pictures as taken by Stubert - on his daddies SLR, he doesnt claim to be best photographer around, but some ok snaps here.

Hey Guys, Just Got back from the COMP, i had a really good time. not the biggest ever turn out, but its certainly something to start upon. This will be the start of a scottish comp series :angry: i hope. I got 3rd Pro, so i was well chuffed with that. prizes were also offered, and we also had a high jump competition, which was a good laugh. All in all, a great time, have to say thanks to DUNCAN and KEVIN, for doing some major organisation, its much appreciated, and ill be in touch to sort you some more offerings. Cheers Ben

my challenge: using the words -----------> shut up, in that order, without any words between them..... i need proof to believe. and has to be to a proper customer, not a mate

hey guys, erm......my opinion, is lets all get along, have a big group hug. everyone is making valid points, but like ali said its a forum. :S lets all get along, but you have to realise that this bitching, whomever it goes on between, is what people get the opinion of the UK trials scene, and we are anything but how this forum represents us. fair enough you may not like people, or this that and t'other. I dont know a single person who i have met in trials who i dont like. but sometimes i think people on this forum seem to be 'hiding behind a computer screen' and its annoying. if your here to cause trouble, feck off. if your here to talk, chat, get along, welcome in, to the trials-forum. thankyou xxxxxxxxx

i thought you couldnt afford it fatty :(............tis up to u, ill try book somewhere this week then. although its a little late to try now. love you all

now please go search for stonehaven and aberdeen, :( tis not a scammer, lol darren isnt clever enough to scam anyone, for christs sake, while using a grinder he managed to catch his face, stupid boy oh and mr hardman, if i want to call darren a boy racer, i will do. ok. i know him :S. and if i cant call him that after what he calls me, then f**k life as we know it

shut up. he paid for it himself, 1700£ to be honest, tis a lot of money darren, but u are a car geek (cough*boy racer*cough), looking sweet fatboi. get on msn you dick are u riding tonight love you ben
