Think you should've changed your avatar/profile pic thing at the same time... try and lose some recent grudges people have taken up... Unlikely to change mine... didn't even know I could until this thread!

Tucks and taps are for girls Ash never made that sidehop did he?! Dave

ditto

Thanks Looks really good dude, the black rims/tyres look really good on it Dave

You're kidding, right?

He might do

TartyBikes for all things trials related, usually Chain Reaction or UK Bikestore for anything random and non trialsy. Dave

It was absolutely immaculate until I let Ash have a go opposite Red Funnel. Tried to bunnyhop the wall and didn't. Brick wall to downtube interface resulted in the Inspired first dent. Downtube's got 2mm walls though so doubt it'll affect it much.

Another vote for Hamilton although I reckon Toseland deserves it. Hamilton's gonna be World Champion for the next ten years in F1 so he'll have plenty of opportunities!

I thought it was quite good actually... apart from a couple of little things, Ash... Shame about the rain but didn't stop play too much. Dave (White Inspired Fourplay that Ash christened...)

That's ok. It's only if it starts cracking there that you should think about going into hiding However, seeing as the downtube on Inspired's have 2mm wall thickness I don't think it should be a problem. I think it's just white enough Dave

Riders have been shot at in soton... with an air rifle from those dodgy flats opposite the train station. Nice folks down there!

I thought you were sponsored by Gu Ash...

Am I the only one who's kinda disturbed by this pic... That looks as unnatural and wierd as I've seen in a posed shot... and what is that kid looking at/doing?! To be completely honest with regards the site, if you're planning making a go at charging people to design their site, take that down or completely redo it. And that stupid 'made on a cac' thing is still there... Sorry for being so negative but there you go. I like sky blue when used well though... but not striped like a Jean Paul Gaultier tshirt

Will see what the weather's doing... tempting. Dave

Get your blinkered fashionable 24" head outa here!!

Looks strangely familier... not sure why Looks really good mate, hope you enjoy it!! Dave

Already seen to Just can't be bothered reuploading pics for such a minor change! Stem was advised by Ads so I'm not going to complain- I thought it might be too long but seems to be working out great, gives you a bit more room up front but can still bunnyhop to the sky when necessary! Dave

People need to watch The Story of Biketrial...

My comments extend beyond trials coverage. I'm interested in bikes in general, and am happy to see stuff on downhill, freeride, xc etc but for a good year or more before I cancelled my subscription, the mag was just a bit, well, pants. The stories bugged me and you could tell they just make half of the crap up to make the story sound better. The reviews were biased and often incorrect and I just couldn't deal with it anymore. The fact that trials only got a couple of pages an issue was a minor reason as to why I can't stand the mag. I guess I just grew out of it.

MBUK has pissed me off for many, many years! Haven't bought an issue for probably 6 years now. Completely agree with their annoying take on trials and lack of any real coverage, hence why I don't bother with it anymore. Rank's a good description. Boggin's not far off either

Umm... not really. The best way I can put it is that the heatsink is a streettrials and the Inspired is more a streettrials bike... does that make sense?!

Sorry for replying (again) but they are kinda designed for different riding styles. The heatsink is a shorter frame making it a bit more flicky and BMX like but the Inspired is a little longer with more trials-oriented geometry. For me, as a trials rider first and foremost, I like the trialsy feel of the Zoot/Inspired which still feels really nice for more streety stuff as well. But then I would say that!

Shaun went away on a tour of duty (he's a Navy chopper pilot by day) and left the business in the incapable hands of some skater punk who basically let the business crumble around him. A guy called Tim from Portland took it over and from what I understand still occasionally does a little bit of trading as X-Street but nothing much. Shaun's still around, saw him the other day being a marshal at the Weymouth beach motocross but haven't spoken to him for a while. Dave
