  1. Am I the only one who thinks that's a really rubbish idea? Looks fine provided after you finish pedaling into the move you change gear (oh, wait...) and then when you want to put some power back through the cranks you then need to start pedaling forwards (while still traveling backwards) again to change gear again (oh, wait...). Think I must be missing something.
  2. Come along and have a giggle. You may as well enter and see how you get on. Because it's the last one of the year, your best bet would be to give Terry Graves a ring and ask if it's ok to compete without an ACU license. He's usually quite good about these things (well, he is El Presidente!) and will definitely sort you out. I shall be there, should be good fun.
  3. You had a good weekend my friend!! Wicked stuff- so when's the backflip on street going to come out then?!
  4. Lolz at me gardening in the background of one shot . Edit: Really nice vid- you've got so much control Ross, really solid riding. Good job .
  5. Having just met Danny for the second time (apparently- the first time was about 7 years ago) and ridden with him today I can honestly say that the title of this video is 100% accurate. The guy is simply on another level both in his riding mentality and in his absurd riding ability. He just looks at things and sees lines that no one else has ever even considered and is taking street trials to a totally new place. Stupidly good rider and stupidly nice bloke!
  6. I think they'd probably arrest me for being an evil racist Westerner Infidel... But it's ok, I won't forget 'the signal'.
  7. Well oil's now down at $70 a barrel compared with over $125 not too long ago... Papa Manual reckoned it'd bottom out at about $50 a pop so there's still a chance it will go down a bit more.
  8. You don't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting it off with just a chainwhip. If you need to resuse the cog wrap some chain round it (as McBen said) and stick it in a vice. Leave the tyre on for extra purchase and with a lot of force it'll come off.
  9. Yup I'd guess that's about 19p per litre. I hate you. Asda are supposed to be doing fuel for 99.9 too...
  10. I wish the PS3 would come with an option not to have the Blu-Ray thing... and so would be competitively priced against the Xbox.
  11. Is that on balances over and above the £50,000 limit guaranteed by the government or are Guernseyites not covered by that?
  12. Are we talking push bike shop? If so I found it helped to express an interest in all types of bike. It's all well and good saying 'yeah I ride trials and can tell you anything you need to know about stupid bikes with no seats' but it's good to be able to say 'but I've also worked on/used roadie's, fixie's, cross country bikes etc and have an interest in cycling in general'. Knowing a little about strange roadie gear shifters etc can't be a bad thing.
  13. I'm amazed you paid £20 to get the wheels trued in the first place! But overall, absolutely no need for you to send any money and the fact the guy posted you the BB without even getting in touch first is just plain stupid. To be fair, anyone who pays £20 to have a BB fitted in the first place is just plain stupid. Ah well.
  14. Do that all the time with my standard Vaio one while using CAD.
  15. Not a fan of the colour schemes, that 26" with the team green Hope stuff is making me feel queezy! That little web between the top and seat tubes on the 24" makes me giggle too .
  16. It's bad isn't it... I can't help it though, apple just annoy me for some reason- probably stemming from that week wind tunnel test a few years back. Ah well. Anyway, I don't see anything wrong with a standard touchpad with a couple of buttons and don't see why I should ever need to incorporate "Multi-Touch gestures, including swipe, pinch, rotate, and the new four-finger swipe" into my daily computing.
  17. My thoughts are there's a four page thread in the news section here already.
  18. Give me a 'G', give me an 'i', give me an 'm', give me another 'm'... you get the idea . Sorry, I can't help myself. I'm sure it's iGreat.
  19. Looking a lot like, well, laptops to me. Wow... All together... ooohhhh, aaaaahhh. Note how on the apple site that the first tab is 'Design' rather than anything to do with how well the thing actually works or the spec!
