  1. ever notice that its not very common to see CLS and neil tunnicliffe in the same place? Hint: same person
  2. stunting? riding? biking? skidding? headbanging? lyrca wearing? hopping about? slowly traversing numerous objects that have not been originally designed for the art of bicycle trials riding?
  3. absolute beauty. Always knew the hex was pretty darn good for tgs'ing as well. I would have gone out and proven it and made a video, but you are doing it well enough to cover that side of the hex's capabilities haha sweet video thomas. you have a fair set of norge baws! impressive.
  4. Looks sweet Chris. Hope it rides a beauty )
  5. 76* head angle. holy cr*p batman... good effort on trying it though dude!
  6. why do you have to buy a decent bike!? a cheap and cheerful will also do the job. I got an ol' Peugeot road bike for a bottle of whisky, and its doing me the world of good. I took the drop bars off it, singlespeeded it, and use it for riding to work. Its a blast and keeps me fit at the same time! also like the odd stint into the countryside for a couple of hours on it!
  7. was a good video. well made and edited. interesting to see the training / recovery stuff he is having to go through.
  8. get a file on the chain stay if you're that worried! I did with mine to get it closer! It's only a little bit of metal! And if you're worried about the warranty then don't be! Mine still going strong nearly 18 months later )
  9. Always liked your riding dude! No exception here! Whopper
  10. as I said on FB....cap was riding well smooth. beast riding from both. p.s. will said tour allow any 26" hex's? any ideas on its dates??
  11. See my last post Scott.....then see lukes reply to my post.....xxxx Ps. Luke - just watched that vid you posted for the first time and all I can say is "ÜBER LOL"
  12. its the bee's knees d-unit. I am riding brakeless at the moment and loving it. Definitely worth a shot
  13. If I am honest - one of the best updates you have done! Going to properly read the interviews now as well. Thanks Mark - you have just ruined any chance I have of revising for my exam tonight
  14. I must admit, that whilst DOugie has probably done alot for the sport I cannot help but think that this wouldnt really entice many people to head along to this show!? certainly didnt do anything for me...thats for sure.
  15. thought you said james was coming? LOL. JKS
  16. bookmarked for when my brakes go back on.....
  17. regards "english hop" - didnt realise we still spoke in terms that old. haha. now i get it though. I tend to just lean back and pull the front end up. as if i am doing a manual is how i think about it. there are somethings in aeners that are really good ideas. primarily; going to 90 both ways chain tension front end height. JD's learning to crash alot and laugh is a good one! my final tip; EDIT: stick with it. its not easy, and if you believe it IS easy you are less likely to succeed. simple really (had to edit as it didnt make any sense whatsoever...work is draining me today)
  18. Mark - WTF is an english hop....i know about the body position you are talking about but...an english hop? no idea
  19. One tip....FAAAAAAAASSSSSSSTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRR Sorry I probably could have been more helpful...chain tension is how to stay on the back wheel. Don't pull your front end as high and perch o the chain tension before preloading!!
  20. certainly made my morning at work bearable! ive been riding brakeless again for the past couple of weeks and I am loving it, glad to see you are still coming up with lines like that. hopefully it means i will think about my video that little bit differently now! this, lewis', marks, and johns videos have certainly made for a most enjoyable start to 2012 videos. its due to these four I have actually watched some trials videos recently.
  21. loved the video john. really good to see. liked the wall rides bit! this and lewis' videos made me go out and ride! which i very much needed to do
  22. Sweet video Lewis! Loved it! Prefer your style on shorter bikes if Im honest! Really nice! Allens ridin was decent too! Shorts are much better!!!!

    Clean - Bpl

    You make brakeless look so effortless mark! Slight bit of hatred from me to you!! Vid was ace though!! Ali - nice to see the foot hasn't slowed you down. Riding was sweet and some big gaps etc in there!
