  1. It can't have been Danny because he does stunts, not skids and wheelies.
  2. The streety 26" with a saddle is a Because Street.
  3. Haha, yup- that's who I was thinking of! Crazy low pressures...
  4. I've reported the first post to the powers that be to get it moved to Trials Chat. Bit more on pressure while I'm here- If I run my tires just hard enough not to get punctures, I find the tyres still bounce me around a bit too much, especially on cambered sections, so I tend to run them with a bit more air to keep the tyre more stable. Just preference really- I know people who have run their tyres so low that you can rim out just by compressing the bike with your body weight but that's just too low for me.
  5. I'd totally forgotten about that. I think it's safe to stand by my comment in that thread.
  6. Start at about 15psi and go from there. I run about 25psi in my Inspired and about 15-20 on my mod. Danny Mac runs 65psi and still gets loads of punctures so it's just whatever feels right for you.
  7. Quite surprisingly we didn't have a single puncture the entire way, and that's riding in the gutter most of the time where all the crap gathers. I didn't take much in the way of spares at all, though a good multitool and spoke keys definitely came in handy!
  8. Lazy. Shortened from 'typographical error'.
  9. It really isn't. It should be 'you're'. Where's Grammar Camel when you need him? Don't forget capital letters and full stops either. Drives me bloody nuts that does.
  10. I'm surprised no one's sussed it before to be honest... both Scottish, both with the same initials, both riding Inspireds. It's like no one realising Clark Kent's Superman just because he has glasses on.
  11. Not if the image has been uploaded to imageshack. In that case you have to use the right link that imageshack provides. I tend to use the 'Direct Link' one.
  12. The right honourable Dave Anderson MP...
  13. Haha, one of my first thoughts- Ali's had a shave! That was really good! Is it going to be on TV or is it online only? Good Job Fella!
  14. Depends what you do. If you 'ride' street (i.e. sit on your bike for half an hour chatting, try and sidehop a wall a few times then sit back down) then no. If you ride natural lots and do comps etc then possibly. Mainly I can see it helping to build muscle but not necessarily burning fat that well unless you properly work up a sweat regularly for extended periods so burning calories. But then what do I know? I'm 11 stone with like 5% body fat (after a burger) and couldn't get fat if I wanted.
  15. Even when you know it'll crack if you don't?
  16. Yeah exactly, however there's a good chance at that point, Lewis had no idea whether there was a major incident just after turn 1 so did the right thing by slowing slightly. He just slowed a liiiitle bit too much!
