  1. ISA's are quite good. Can save up to £3600 tax free in any tax year and it's good to see how much of that you can stash away. Also if you go for an account without a cash card it makes it much harder to 'dip in' when you feel like it. How old are you? Summer jobs wise, in Southampton quite a lot of people drive new cars and vans from the ships to storage facilities around the city and vice versa. They pay over £10 an hour but you obviously have to have a driving license... If that's not possible I spent a summer stacking shelves at Asda on night shift. Money was good and you didn't have to fanny around with customers. Mind numbing for sure but if all you want is easy money it doesn't come much easier!
  2. How come I've never heard of him?! Looks like an absolute monster! Looking forward to seeing some vids from the Trialtech boys and some fancy new components too!
  3. Nah, fraid not. Just a shoot they did back in April...
  4. Nah, should be a 7 page article on trials with pics from a Pompy ride... Has literally just been released I think.
  5. Ok, I've just been told that there's a good article in the new MBUK that should've reached subscribers today. I'm going to buy it when it's in the shops but was wondering if any kind people on here might scan the article in... 7 pages on trials if I've heard correctly... Cheers in advance
  6. Damn. That just makes me want to get a BMX again!! How the f**k can he fakie so frickin' fast and not end up on his arse? Nuts.
  7. It's gaaawwwwjjjuuussss... Seriously nice dude .
  8. Hmm... I still reckon Deng's bought a joblot of standard Maggy cylinders and has a hundred little Chinese children in a shed somewhere polishing them up for a few grains of rice
  9. Also, those new Deng cylinders look remarkably like standard Magura ones that have been polished...
  10. Lol at finding the shortest kid around to stand next to the wall .
  11. But the reason race cars/bikes use slicks is because on a dry, very smooth circuit they will provide maximum grip since more rubber is in contact with the track. Drag is not really an issue as the increase in mechanical grip far outweighs any aero advantage. On anything but smooth concrete a slick on a trials bike doesn't seem like too good an idea! Particularly on natural. However, having said that, I've seen how Stan and Ali were riding with the front Try-All with all the knobbles cut off and again with Vincent's one so there's obviously more to it than meets the eye... Bike looks seriously sweet Stan! Some interesting mods going on there...
  12. Hmm... Maybe because he's an ex world champion who's been on GasGas for years and is regularly doing promotional work for the company? A bank...
  13. See that's the problem though. How can bouncing around on a pushbike be deep? As I said, he thinks to much. It's Maggie. No one calls her Margaret .
  14. Click me. Lines the rim (between the rim itself and your inner tube) to stop the spokes and rough bits of rim piercing the tube. Like this:
  15. I recently enquired about doing a 24" bunny hop record but they don't specify wheel size, it's just 'bicycle bunny hop'.
  16. Why not just buy some new brake pads that were designed to be... brake pads?
  17. Not necessarily wrong... it's preference at the end of the day but if your brake's half decent there's no reason you should need to use two fingers on the brake and having the remainder on the bars will allow you to put more effort into lifting the bike and in theory allow you to ride better. I only ever use two fingers in comps when I'm getting cramp or something in my normal braking (index) finger.
  18. The accent itself sounds quite like the standard American one but they have a kind of 'twang' that makes them stick out. Especially more out in the countryside rather than in Toronto etc. They also use quite different ways of using pitch and do say 'eh' a lot making lots of statements sound like questions. And yeah, I don't think Ryan Leech is a penis... he's a bit weird and thinks too much I reckon. Quite innovative when it comes to riding though.
  19. 1. You're a full member. You've been a full member for quite a while. This is New Members Chat. 2. This topic has been covered many times over the years. Search. 3. Look at any of the pics in the riding pics thread and you'll see that 99.99999% of people use one finger on their brakes. The other 0.00001% Are doing it wrong.
  20. Going over a bar is defintely more difficult- Because you have to get the distance to clear the bar laterally.
