hey whoever said use a spring washer on ur crank bolt! why the hell would u do this, surely there is no reason for this what so ever, why does this guy need a space in between his bolt and his crank. please enlighten me, because i would have thought if a spacer were to be put in between crank and bolt it would already be on the bolt or with his cranks. cheers ben

for some reason i really like this picture, maybe its my mate spencers super lowering on his bike, some ace piccys so far, get some more up ben sorry its pretty massivio

well who ever said the livestrong ones arent made by nike im sure ull find your very mistaken, lance is sponsored heavily by nike, as they paid a lot of money towards lances foundation and toward his recovery treatment for his death defying recovery from cancer (brain lung and testicle) (at the same time). so im very positive they are made by nike. sure it will say on www.laf.com or www.wearyellow.com these being the two sites they talk about them most cheers ben

hahaah adam u porker, sort them pallets out, howd u make them wobble like that haha sorry off topic,

i have done 6 pallets (probably 5 on all blue ones like on tartys video) with both feet forward ( to be seen on my new video when its out) and to be honest, tartys explaination seems perfect to me, although i probably dont pre-load that much, hmm not sure ill let u know next time im out, the video shows pretty much the right kind of thing to be doing as well cheers ben

i found having your tyres at a lower pressure, made it much easier, i can do fairly high wheel swaps, but having been practicing them switch (let foot forward) and found the spring of a lower pressure tyre did help me. also i found its alot to do with upper body strength, so just keep practising is my true advice cheers ben

man , errrrrrr.........cheers watson, but im all :"> im f**king shite compared to all of them boys in there, and i think im the oldest. but seriously why the hell would u put me in there ben

hey mike, i got ur text while i was out on my bike, i am working fri sat sun, till 6 eaach day, but will certainly be up for a night ride, specially as it will be quieter than during the day. incidentally why on earth you coming up to aberdeen?> and u coming on your own, or with some other guys. hit me back just to chat ben sorry was listenin to eminem

hope u guys enjoy this absolutely f**king awesome, http://www.santoalt.com/videos/corey_martinez.php cheers ben

well i reckon a ronnie, they are super strong and work last. if u have had a koxx rim then dont get a viz rim the two are the same rim almost i found the viz rim to be just as crap for holding grinds etc as a koxx rim. meh my opinion ben

some riders have decided upon tubeless for their bikes. probably weighs the same as a decent tube, but however it apparantly works if u do it correctly. so what do u think of what has happened since u have been away ezza? ben oh and people have only learned to spell properly because there is now a spell checker on one/if not all the skins ben

i was using standard magura oil, i know its the best stuff to use if you bleed your brake correctly cheers for the chat guys, i managed to fix it now, host had just popped off and its all gravy. cheers ben

dj was killed, or is that over a year now!!! he was hit in a hit and run, see many peoples signatures and posts all over t-f, see his personal page where you can leave memories. buy his t-shirts etc maybe you knew that but it shook the trials forum in a big way and many people ride in memory of him ben

my magura explodes, but lets go back and ill tell you a little story................ yesterday i receive a phone call from another rider (non-forum) saying, aye min me feckin freewheel has broke, so i ask him to come round and i fix it, while he waits he is riding another guys bike and breaks his magura hosing. f**k, day ruined for him, it didnt touch a thing just decided to pack in and break. then today another mate is riding along and hops up a kerb, kaboom onto his back on the kerb, day ruined his plastic magura hosing goes as well with no replacement we head home and thats that. tonight about half an hour ago, i am riding, thinking about snapping the hosing. after doing some decent drop gaps and some big ups, i pick up confidence to go for a front to back on a rail. now a front to back is the move where you hop into your front wheel then to your back, for an example see a craig lee scott video or a engage vid. and you will see how crazy this looks on a rail. im trying this move after getting pretty good at it, after a few failures i finally make it, and land nicely, few more fails and another good attempt, then i think hmmm, one more, so i go for it, make it to back wheel and on landing, my brake lever reaches the handlebar and i fall. what the f**k im thinking then i look, my braided hosing has snapped. now why the f**k does three go in the space of 24 hrs. its crazy. so to the point what hosing do you reccomend, i am thinking either back to standard hosing or looking at goodridge or hope. i have tried magura hosing, which is what has just snapped. whats your thoughts cheers guys ben p.s sorry for babbling

owh si the dydad dna hatw eods eh od cheers ben

wayne, i think that would be a cool idea, having a koxx - days type thing in england would be ace, if we get the right spot, its a tad hard for me to get to france living in aberdeen but somewhere in england would be ideal, i should think i would like to go to that. cheers ben

sorry to sound harsh but why are you bumping a topic with 45 posts, for a video, people who will have watched it will have, incidentally i have and thought it was an ok video, but nothing special. sorry if that was harsh, there was no need you have all the constructive criticisms you could need to progress your videos ben

oh my dear lord, sweet jesus that drop is massive, shows how danny holroyds apparent 16ft drop in mbuk wasn't 16foot. thats absolutely crazy, why on earth would you do that, why would you need to do that. god so much for being good :lol: anyway, cool video Andrew, i really enjoyed that looking forward to the video cheers ben
