I don't even want to know what you're planning to do with it... Pretty sure there's not much (readily available) that would do what you want. Oil would do it but is smokey, petrol or llighter fluid might do it but you probably don't want to be playing round with that too much. What about those firelighter things- like white cubes that are soaked in kerosene or something and used to start coal fires or barbeques?

Cool kids get mini's for their first cars...

It's going fine until that point: When you've already decided that it's not going to work and your brain has decided to put your right foot down to save you. I used to ddo the same with skateboard kickflips. It basically comes down to mind over matter- just commit more as Leiston says and you'll get there. Not that I can do them of course but just sayin'!

How many accounts do you want? I don't get it...

You boys were so damn good back in the day! There's stuff in there I still haven't (can't?!) done (do)! Someone's going to have to explain the Steve Maultby/Dave thing...

I thought all football clubs were hundreds of millions in debt and a complete financial farce...

They do say that the average 'payback' works out at something along the lines of 4-5% which puts it fairly equal with ISA rates, though I'm sure there are plenty of people who get far less than that to make up for the one a month 'winning' a million.

Inspired and Onza have a dealer in Oz- Expressive Bikes Tel. 0411 609 115. It looks like Onza also have a dealer in NZ called Syms.

Sounds like you're pretty much sorted! From your riding background I'd say a 24" would be very suited to you and also flexible enough to let you practice trials for the moto on it while also letting you play with the more streety/jumpy stuff your used to on bicycles. From what I've heard the Zoot is a really good buy and would be well suited to what you want however also consider the new range of Inspired completes which will be available in the near future. I think they may well give the Zoot a run for its money!

How much are we talking?

I haven't repaired a tube for about 9 years now so it's all about the cheapness on the 24". Usd to be 79p Kenda's from Trago Mills but only got down there once or twice a year so now tend to use Tesco 90% of the time. I do have some fat Echo 19" ones for the back of the Zoo though.

Absolutely. I always take a bag with Crank and BB tool, pedal spanner and a set of allen keys with me (plus pump and tube). Certain things like pedals and cranks will destroy themselves if they come loose so it's always worth checking them regularly.

Is it new/old, trials/normal? Also what tensioner are you using, how much chain wrap do you have, how worn is the drivetrain etc.

That's quite random positioning of the white/green boundaries if I may say... Looks different but not to my tastes.

Pretty sure they are the same but pretty sure you can't get them separately...

I'm so very, very happy for you.

Arson is always an option... Though probably best to retrieve the bikes beforehand.

Was anything insured? Did any of them have any distinguishing features? Any record of frame numbers or anything?

LOUD NOISES! Were the bikes insured?...

Just a quick note to say that anyone's welcome, no licenses are required and that entry is £7 which includes the BBQ. Any profits will be going to the British Heart Foundation (for those of you who don't know Terry Graves who organises the series had a heart attack last year). Finally, for those of you who know Terry and the HBTC series, this will be the final event organised by Terry and Hazel for the foreseeable future and as such we're planning to make a collection to get a little something in thanks for the effort the Graves' have put in over the past 10+ years. If anyone wishes to donate something let me or Luke know and we'll sort things out. Anyhoo, I shall be there fo sho.

Were they not alternating hexagons (or octagons/decagons?) and random flower shapes?!

And on that line... did the Cheeky Girls not audition for Britain's Got Talent a couple of years back? I'm just guessing of courses as I'd never watch that sort of shit...

However... I doubt they could stop an American living in Britain from entering or a Brit living in the States from entering the Yank version. They'd be too scared of being scared for discriminating against someone.

I didn't know you were into that lifestyle choice, Muel...

That was really sweet guys! Mark- I can't remember the last time I saw a proper vid of you riding but damn you're handy on that Inspired! The BMX style really comes through but with a hell of a lot of control and trials power too- very impressed. The video had a really nice fun, flowy feel to it- downloaded for future reference .
