Dan - quiet but funny, but becomes easily addicted to narcotics I'd agree with that.

I love the way that Edd Tongue, Martyn Ashton and gaffa tape are labelled components. Anyway, a lot of this is good, keep it up.

The black bits are the bit you actually braze onto your frame to make it a 4 bolt mount frame.

Hmmm, I might get one for the front for the look.

I wanna get a 24" just so I can have a Tioga tyre with huuuuuge writing.

Yeah I know, I'm not stupid. No-one really bought them at first though, cept Chris from Section 7 Monty X-Lite - Before the age of Koxx's and Echo's, this was the holy grail of mods. It seemed every mod rider I knew had or wanted one, it had what seemed at the time perfect geo, it was really light and pretty strong too.

Thats right, list parts you think have made a big dent on the history of trials, with reasons why. Try keep it fairly revolutionary, not "Tensile - Like Middleburns but cheaper" Koxx Levelboss - Not only did this bring around the UCI craze, when it came out people were all "woah, this stupid long bike with no seat!" Bearing in mind it was only 1065 too. I remember people saying unless you were good, the Koxx would hold you back because of the extra length. However, soon everyone had one or copied the geometry. Magura HS33 - Fairly self explanitory, best brake suited for trials period really, I would say very very few people haven't owned some at some point. Hope XC/Mono - Everyone had a hub that didn't break, and when it did, got replaced for free. And it comes in pretty colours. Again, I imagine most stock riders have used one at one point and I remember thinking they were the best hubs ever, before anyone started to buy Chris Kings. You could always tell a decent trials riders by the loud clicking from his hub. Anyway, I'll stop now, post away children.

He lies. Last song, Fort Collins Trials Six anyone? The really long one?

Do people on trials forum ever get jobs anywhere else? At least every month we get a new "I've got an interview at Halfords..." topic.

Last song on the new Andy T FTC vid?

I may just be there if people remind me.

I'm a big fan of mushrooms, its an experience I definately think everyone should try at least once. For a few hours your perspective on the whole world changes, you see things you've never seen before and it opens up different parts of your personality. If you ever get the chance now they are illegal, definately have a go, from what I've read I haven't really found any side effects either.

Seriously, they could have explained that so much easier, its like someone found a thesaurus and changed every word to its longest synonym.

205mm here.

I get that, you can't see anything on your bike without a helmet. If that isn't and incentive to wear a helmet, I dunno what it, get an emo cut kids, it'll save your life.

It's irritating because after I straighten in, I'm obviously crying all the time so it goes all unstraight again, ironically I have the fringe this long so people don't know I'm permanently crying :) I liken it to looking through a set of net curtains, but in that pic its super over my eyes, I usually have one eye out anyway. Steal away all you wish. Anymore stereotypes people wanna list?

I'm gonna post a pic of my hair again just because it provokes such fun discussion.

Shouldn't George Bush hate punk bands?

I absolutely love the way MrMonkey can take the piss out of anyones sense of humor when his idea of a hilarious joke is adding the word masturbate/masturbation into a sentence, or saying something else so hilariously "random".
