what an absolute UNIT

Name drop!!! Haha!! The friction on the hub seems to be quite high when the free hub remains still!! I'm quite happy with my pro 2 and the number of engagements on it! How much willit be?

the slow motion slide along the wooden walk way was brilliant. I could watch that bit over and over. the slow motion trials looks good, but only really useful on certain things in my opinion. Over use of it can get annoying after a while.

It has already been stuck up in the videos topic as ross is impatient and didnt tell me he had finished the video. But he is a good friend of mine and his new video rocks. Mis-Conceptions Blog

going to bump this and see whether anyone would be interested

Really good vid ross!! Impressive stuff! You need a HD cam though!! And a stree bike :-p

Hello Ladies, What could be better than an Aberdeen street ride in November? I wouldnt imagine there is much else in the world that could be as fun as a likely cold, wet, windy ride in the granite city. I am proposing to ride on both these days in Aberdeen (full days riding on both). Anyone is welcome to join, unless yir a knob Here is a site for a weather updates : Weather.co.uk - Aberdeen

photoshop....

the rules state you are meant to clean shave the night before 'day 1'!! TB fail. although cap looks hilarious so i think we can let him off haha.

hmmm. I think Ali has hit the nail on the head. I do demos, and get paid for them, but I also have a full time job in which I get paid and orchestrate them with an uncommon skill... A professional sportsman 'should' (IMO) get paid a salary whether they are performing or not. Such as Danny at the moment. He has had his operation on his knee, isnt riding, but i'd imagine still getting paid by redbull. (although all the BJ's he might be giving to the men in suits @ redbull might justify his salary a little...)

slightly off topic - but is based on the reactions of people in this topic... have you guys @ tarty considered making 0% finance deals (obviously this would be through a third party - I know alpine bikes use black horse). It would probably make a little bit more work for you, but might create a bit of business on higher end builds.

nahhhh....lies! hull boys dont ride!!

Hey man, To be honest it is more just the screen I am working on. The works laptop monitor isnt the greatest but nevermind, as I said, it would be more my personal preference to have it above and an option to right click the map and 'place arrow here'. Maybe thats a future update . One other thing I thought might be nice was a further step in the 'add spot' feature; A description box. This way you could include the type of riding available here, some key features of each spot etc. The reason for this would be that many people ride different types of trials (as an example) and sometimes when you arrive at a spot there isnt much for certain people to ride. It would be nice to know in advance if there is riding available. Now I understand that if people have pictures available of each spot then it would become fairly obvious and the description box would just be a nice addition. Anyway i know you are probably busy, so ill stop with all the requests and just keep adding spots.

Personally I reckon its because you have a smooth rim on the back!

Exactly the response the last topic got! The frame isnt mine, its a friends and we dont have it to hand as I am at work? Cheers for stating the obvious though guys. much appreciated

Good Video. Freewheel p*ssed me off a little though. Oh and the wide angle lens was a tad frustrating. But good video overall

Afternoon gents / gals, Just a quick question I need answering please! Does anyone have a confirmed diameter of an onza woodstock seat post / seat clamp combo please? I have read on this forum and an internet search an estimated 30.9mm seat post size. can anyone confirm? Ta Ben

The rest is very true but the Atomz frames came with bolt through axles on frame and fork about 2 years ago? ish? and part of me thinks some people are out to start an argument for the sake of it! (aimed at the guy who you were replying too luke)

i do not have anything more to add to Ali's comment.

I loved the shot of danny's up to back at the end. That kicker was mental! Fair play to both Ali and Danny for getting up it with such short run ups! glad the shot of my fall came out that good! Mum will be happy to see that fall...

as it turns out - it was the camera white balance being over exposed for some reason. I was / am editing on windows live movie maker....i dont think them sliders are applicable (the brightness is a tad but doesnt really do much difference from my little spot check. next video this will be sorted

Cheers for the comments guys. Much appreciated. lewis - back on the bike already dude, the fall from red bull video looks worse than it turned out to be

A number of other spots added. including some made famous by danny in his videos. One thing i find a little 'bugging' is on the Add Spot page, can you have the choose location bits etc above the map? or at least have a right click option on the map so that i can add the location that way, rather than having to go past the map to type in a location. just being a little pernickity to be honest

boooooooooooooiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii street riding is taking over

They were certainly filming. I wouldnt be surprised to see one soon. the previous one took a couple of weeks to make anyway. Just just hold off! Should be a good video from some of the riding that went down!
