The. Sex.

Crazy. Soooo effortless it's unreal. And as you say, that last move...

Ok, I expect there's something in Wiki about this but just for you I'll give a little info here... Basically, to make the bike come up with you you need to practice 'unweighting' the bike. Start by standing over your bike (holding the bars), one foot on the floor and your foot which is usually at the back (not your favourite foot) on the pedal. Now point your toe to the ground while pushing back on the pedal. You should be able to lift the rear wheel by just lifting your foot. The friction created by the angle and pressure of your foot on the pedal allows you to pull the bike up with you. It uses some wierd muscles if your not used to it but you get the idea. Ok, now try it while riding the bike. First off just roll along and use your back foot to lift the back wheel alone. Shifting your weight forward a bit will make that easier. That is the basis of how you lift the bike to do a bunnyhop. The rest is as has been described and can be found on t'internet. Good luck and keep practicing!! Dave

Looks very... different! Good on you for giving it a go but that's gotta be one stupidly expensive way of making a frame. That's gotta be at least $3000 for the material and machining, no? Crazy mofo!! Dave

Very nice! Love the internal routing- very nicely done! How are you finding the braided hosing? Dave Woo! First post as a SM

I don't think he was that good... at all. The guy had massive balls and no fear but his technical ability was truly shocking. There was no thought into any of his jumps (i.e. trajectory, speed, bike setup), he just hit the ramps and that's it. Didn't even use the brakes or throttle to try and sort the bike out in the air. To be honest he was, well, a bit crap. A total legend of course but made a huge name for himself out of nothing I'd say. Seems like one seriously messed up character as well. Ah well, made for good viewing nonetheless.

I really hate the sidehop technique of the dude on the blue bike... It makes me angry!!

And I'm a victim of the highest calibre!! And loving it edit: Just realised I haven't commented on the site in this thread. Really like the site, and is pretty much how all sites should be. Simple and to the point but at the same time attractive and covering all the bases in a straight forward way. Good job!

Very nice, excellent choice!! Are you not gonna run a seat clamp?... also, red brake mounts? Oh, no no no no!

Please, please, for the love of god slam the seat... before I have to track you down and do it for you Very nice though, white ***!!

I'm down for cages. Only run platforms (Hognesium's) for a couple of months before and in that time they lost a load of pins and were just a bit, well, pants. I also have found V8's almost too grippy- like you can't adjust your foot position at all on them. Cages offer plenty of grip, things don't fall off them and they're cheap as chips so I don't mind replacing them when they get bent or the bearings die.

£799 complete... Bargainous. As for dual disc, I reckon it's the way forward when it comes to natural comps (especially when things get wet and muddy), less so for street.

If you get the front wheel onto the planks and put the front brake on you can move the planks and rollers around. I got the long second plank wedged to make a ramp and flew to the finish... more luck than judgement though!

Cadbury's Gorilla... The Sony Bravia Adverts rock too... And Irn Bru just kicks ass because it's Irn Bru

Feel free to make a new thread for it if you like, I wasn't sure if it deserved a new one when there are games threads around.

Another trials game, quite neatly done in 3D with front and rear brakes. Physics are quite cool too in places. Good for messing about on for half an hour Click You need to download it and it runs through Java.

Slick = good. i.e. superior to normal cables at not much premium. Pretty much any BMX shop in the country. Try custom riders, alans bmx, pijin, cyclesport ltd, winstanleys bmx etc etc. Usually about £6-£7. Dave

Harder or easier than what? What were you previously running? If you had an 18T freewheel on the cranks before then going to a 16T will make the gearing a good bit lower (more spinny).

T-cut works too if you have any of that lying around for your car...

Yeah, I'd say it looks a bit... wrong... You should be able to have good control on the backwheel with your current posture but you seem to be struggling to throw yourself into moves because you're already so far forwards. Just play around with lowering the front wheel/dropping your butt and see how it goes.

Good find... some nasty and some quite retarded bails in there! Even our very own Karsonleveret (Rich Pearson) is in there!

Everyone's giving gay a negative connotation here... clearly the kid must have meant it in the positive sense: Gay– adjective 1. having or showing a merry, lively mood: gay spirits; gay music. 2. bright or showy: gay colors; gay ornaments. 3. given to or abounding in social or other pleasures: a gay social season. Good luck whatever you're riding now Sam

To be honest, you must've done something wrong to screw up ISIS splines... They may distort a little over time but should be almost impossible to truly destroy. I'm running the Echo Forged's on my Inspired and really like them. TryAll's will be no different in spline quality and I expect the material is virtually identical. Anyway, hope you don't snap the Tensiles, Chigs...

Haha, that was my third guess... tis a bit of a monster! Actually, as Bigman says, it does remind me of what used to come on the Bighits.
