Trialsy freecoaster would be sweet. fakie manuals look so much better on a coaster

Very much agree ali. His style on the bike is all but gone. I am all for progression and improvement in the sport, but not if it means making it look sh*t. Vinnie is going big, but my word its not pleasant on the eye.

you need a hug nick?

You wouldnt think it possible that original lines could be ridden in Unit 23.... You'd be wrong... Vimeo Video -> Original Video

Really not sure about that as the use of profile hubs / king bmx hubs seems significantly lower than yesteryear! the influx of reasonably reliable FFWs seems to have taken over....

hahaha. i laughed at the shoes as well. Good riding Joe. Some beasty up to fronts

that was definitely one of the best videos of Benito. The lines after the rail hook gap were just ridiculous

a little something in the post about 10 mins ago dave

Never worry about being too young to do anything Jake. I thought I wanted to be an architect, did four years at uni , then three years working in that career. At 25 I decided I'd made a mistake, given my location, and 5 or so years later I am coming to the end of my Part time Mechanical Engineering Degree and have a reasonable career as a project engineer in the oil and gas industry. Hind sight is wonderful, but if you don't act on your impulses you WILL regret it when you are older because things start to get in the way as you get older (bills / mortgages / hobbies / love life (GAAAAAAAAAAYYYY) etc) and is more likely to stop you doing things. You are 19, not 50. Get yourself signed up on that course and get it done after* you finish your level 3 in the cars course. It might** be the best thing you have ever done... * I say after because, you might as well complete it. They can't take it away from you once you've done it. **I cannot guarantee it will be the best thing you've ever done. You might hate it, but, I can almost guarantee you'll look back with regret if you don't do it.

Dave - I am sorry bud, been in the library in isolation the past wee while. im going to get something sent to you ASAP - (will look it out tonight. I have something in mind). Sorry again for the delay. ta ben

Jack's power is incredible. Both guys riding well

Should have got your abs out for the camera's dave...Guy would have loved that. "Jeeeeeeeeesus....wept" or something like that

It doesnt seem to have the same bite / hold power that the M810 has from my experience. I also saw some of the new design caliper (with the fins) having problems with cracking (not sure why this happened, but my calipers have lasted since the day I got them over two years ago (touch wood)) I also think that the fin design on the caliper is to allow more air to enter into the pad 'area' in order to dissipate heat better. Trials doesn't need heat dissipation in most cases. Also looking at the caliper there are four bolts holding it together on the older model compared to two, this might do something to compromise on strength. vs. In regards to the lever. It just doesn't pull as nice as the older style. Just my opinion that one though.

niconj has a point right there. Although on chain reaction levers and caliper set would still set you back ~ £260...which is almost the same that should be expected to pay for a saint pair

M810s are the best disc brakes for trials imo. They work amazing straight out the pack, however getting a hold of this version can be difficult and they are certainly a little heavier than most brakes. I've heard of quite a few people having bad experiences with the newer saint brakes and I disagree with bings statement about those brakes being 'just as good', but that is an each to their own moment i guess.

Lose the rope ali (I know its not the final design) but I think it doesn't fit as well as the rest of the items you've described. I'd put something on the right hand side that sticks out as far as the at on the left. Could the arcade logo be a little bigger to match the voddie bottle? Or vodka bottle to match the arcade size? I actually quite like it and I'm not a tat person at all

Saw that as well ross...it was good. mainly because of Sheridan Smith....NOM NOM. p.s. Sherlock BBC series is good as well. back on topic though - despicable me 2 was good when I saw it over christmas. I haven't seen the first one at all yet though.

Went to watch American Hustle last night. An enjoyable, easy watch film. Not a classic, but there is side boob left, right and centre so all you wee pervs can get your fix...

More please...is that redbrick spot in london??? i think i need to put aside a weekend in summer to get down there for a ride...

if you can get a property in aberdeen at 60% the price Greg you'd be STUPID not to....the rental market (especially in that part of town) is so darn lucrative that you'd make it back in no time. If you can prove in the future that you have guaranteed rental on the folks house, then you look to buy yourself in the future then so long as you have a decent deposit you should struggle. RICH b*****d!!!!

While I don't think you sold it very well there Nick (and i am probably about to do the same for my job), I would imagine that could be a pretty interesting career. I work as a project engineer in the oil and gas industry, dealing with, amongst other things, the commissioning of subsea pipelines. This is after I had already tried to start my life out as an Architect...but gave it three years before i couldn't go any further with it. I couldn't stand the thought of drawing another house extension on CAD...

You enjoying it as much as I am mine dave? I must admit with the little brown touches it does look decent
