Im sure I am not the only one who envies just how good James' style is on a trials bike. Y U NOT LOOK LIKE YOU ARE TRYING JAMES!

Fronts are easier to find as luke seems to have most of the rear ones....

Cheers dave, this is GREAT news to my ears.

Absolutely ridiculous ender clip! cannot wait to get back out on my trialsy and just blast around things fast

truth, truth, lies, lies, lies, truth, truth

Hi Kev, Would love to come to this, however I won't be riding my bike for a couple of weeks due to injury unfortunately. Hope all enjoy the comp. been ages since i've ridden bobby macs. Any wall rides involved?

I haven't even seen this myself yet haha. Ill have to thank stuz

Its written about BMX (ohhhh no...BMX, how dare I?) however much of what he said is relevant to trials (swap 'bmx' in the article for 'trials') and sums up very much the separation between disciplines that we see in trials... http://thecomeup.com/long-form/i-spent-7-days-in-england-contemplating-bmxs-fate/#more-142056 I cannot wait to get back onshore and ride my bike!!!

Cannot wait to get back onshore and watch this. Cheers for filming / showing us the spots all weekend Mark. I had a total blast. Cant wait to get back down again and do some more riding. THanks to everyone that turned up and rode with us that weekend. Really made me enjoy riding trials again.

The picture above leads me to believe that your signature is a lie....

hahaha. thanks for taking the time to come out and film the whole weekend Mark, especially since I took a minimum of 100 attempts to do anything I tried. Looking forward to seeing the clips put together

Ian - thanks for putting this together, i had an ace weekend and really glad I made the journey down. As i said to many, it was really good to ride different spots then the usual, and found myself pushing myself well out of my comfort zone, its been a while since i've done that anyway... It was really good to meet some new guys and sit back and watch the many skills people have. Weather didnt stop us too much all in all, lets hope for another ride of similar style again soon. Definitely be back down to london sooner rather then later.

Thanks guys. i'll do my best to put together a decent video. Finding the time between injuries and work is a pain in the hoof just now, but I will try get something together sooner rather than later. Again, due to work schedules of the other riders round here then yea I have spent alot of time of late riding on my todd. i don't mind it so much, earphones in, GO! When i am filming, I don't like too many people about as it can be distracting for the video / riding when I am trying to concentrate on landing something. I try never to repeat a line I have done before in a video, so like to have full concentration on the line. Thanks again guys

Looking forward to this ride, even if I might not actually be able to ride trials! Damn foot! Anyone able to recommend the best pain killers they know of that are easy to get a hold of / legal?

Watched the video last night, didnt realise it had been around for so long. I hope the project / protest gets the outcome it seemingly deserves. Good quality video as well.

Cheers for all the comments guys Hey man, Sorry for the late reply, I love both how both frames ride if I am honest, and I haven't noticed too much difference between either. I am going as big on the console as I was on the arcade, if not slightly bigger, so havent had too much difficulty in transferring over. Inspired state the frame kit is a little heavier than the arcade, but I havent noticed it at all. I prefer the slightly longer chainstays, and the longer HT has put my bars up a little higher which means that the reach isn't too dissimilar to the arcade. The little details is what makes the arcade stand out - the drop-outs for example are just an off-the-shelf on the console, whereas the arcades are a fair bit neater when teamed with the chain tugs at the rear and the stiffer axle set-up on the front. I'd recommend either, just depends on whether you are willing to spend the extra £100 on those little details. I know thats not the on-the-fence opinion you probably wanted, however I've not had months to decide yet. Ask me again by christmas and i will tell you my thoughts in full. I will say out-right that I prefer the paint job on the Console. The matt black look on the arcade is awesome, but nothing on the console IMO, just depends on how you team up the rest of the components.

I recently got mine built up and I love it. Threw together some clips before I start putting a full video together anyway....comments welcome. Vimeo Video -> Original Video

Great wee video flipp...looking forward to your next full instalment

I concur...

that hampden park video would have worked much better if hampden was dark when the filmed it, then all the lights coming on. wasted opportunity

No worries flipp, cheers for the offer though,. Will be down in london from 8am on the saturday, leaving 8pm sunday so plenty of time to get some riding in!

Sounds like a plan. Give me a should on FB and we will sort something out. p.s. cramping your style....LOL.

Its a little off topic, but is anyone going to be around on the Saturday as well for some riding as well? Also looking for a place to stay on the Saturday night so if anyone is able to offer that'd be amazing...
