  1. Tell that to the fleet of 6' 5"+ guys that tend to win...
  2. Is that what it is? That's kinda... pointless. Martin and Dougie Lampkin never needed an intercom system that's for sure!
  3. Considering we've shown that even with the discount they're still more expensive than other places I don't think it's a major issue...
  4. It's actually against the rules of outdoor comps but is occasionally used in indoor comps provided the minder doesn't have to grab the bike. MotoGP's been shown on BBC 2 all year .
  5. Does anyone know why Adam always rides with a microphone (I assume) attached to his helmet?
  6. Ok, so should I buy Call of Duty:World at War for my PS2?... Not sure a WW2 game will suit my tastes, would prefer something with more modern weaponry but what's the consensus?
  7. Y' see, I didn't want to name the company because I have no links with them... Didn't want to make it too easy!
  8. Explain? Edit: Ah, call of duty. Of course. Since I've never played any of them and don't own a console which can play it I'm completely uninterested. Sorry.
  9. It doesn't seem to have just gone all of a sudden though... it cracked and you kept riding it with a bit of metal wrapped round with a jubilee clip until it snapped. Sounds pretty inevitable to me!!
  10. Basically can and do eat anything I fancy and my body just turns it into muscle/doesn't turn it into fat. Very low body fat and fast metabolism ftw.
  11. Cool, sounds about right. I'm 6' and about 12 stone but have quite an odd physique/metabolism...
  12. To some extent I guess. People like Cesar Canas and Dani Comas are over 6ft with long legs and arms which in comp situations helps with strato dabs and they are also quite springy. However, Marc Caisso is of a similar technical level but is probably only 5'6". Weight again is not a constant. Muscle weighs more than fat and so provided the rider in question is lean and isn't carrying any extra weight it shouldn't be an issue.
  13. That doesn't really follow though... Have you seen the size of Benito's forearms and lower legs?! Big bulk is obviously bad for trials, mainly due to the added mass and lack of explosive agility which goes with it. Trials uses quite a specific type of strength, I guess similar to the likes of power lifters who show a great deal of 'strength' but only for a very short time. To be honest, I'd agree with the 60/40 split of technique/strength. My technique isn't great but I bypass that with a bit of extra power meaning I can sidehop without tucking as well as most people who need to tuck to get the same height.
  14. And you can get KMC Kool's (710's and 810's) for £6.00 each from other online retailers too...
  15. Last time MSN died for me it was because I'd set the computer's clock to 2003 for a certain reason which I won't disclose here.
  16. No real way of knowing without knowing what cranks, bash and BB axle length you're running.
  17. Pah, degrees are two a penny these days. Not worth the paper they're printed on .
  18. I'm still not gonna vote though because I like the frame's but dislike the colour schemes.
  19. I think the 'dodge' he was referring to was taken from this: But agreed it doesn't really mean much seeing as Koxx are still happily producing the XTP/Sky frames with very similar designs.
  20. I would do except the question doesn't make sense .
  21. From what I've heard it ain't going to be cheap! I expect there'll be a few different 'levels' of build though.
