I may be able to come up for the day, but won't be competing. I'm based in Cumbria at the moment so shouldn't be too bad to get to Fort Bill. Dave

Cool, I'm staying in a hotel between dovenby and maryport I think. Gonna be working in the days but should be free in the evenings. What's the riding like? I've been told Carlisle's good for street... Dave

Ok, so my uni sponsors are based near Cockermouth in Cumbria and I'm going to be up there from the 22nd August until the 2nd of September and will have my bike...so where is there to ride round there? Carlisle looks fairly close but there also must be plenty of natural up there. Any info would be gratefully recieved :) Dave marshall

Looks good to me!

I'm sure I used to have his address but can't find it. Might be worth giving Bonney@X-Street (on here) a shout as I think he's in regular contact with Tim. Also, I don't know what mobile number people have but the last one I got to work for tim was 07900010194. Good luck! Dave edit: just had a look on multimap and the best I can do is Tim Hargreaves Delhi Lane Portland Dorset DT5 2 I don't know if he actually lives on Delhi lane as his house is kind of on an offshoot of that and I don't know the number but with a bit of luck it may get to him.

Is this still on? Poole tomoz? Might make an appearance if so Dave

Where did you get the Action Man sticker from Matt?!! Dave

Sh!te. My uni sponsors have asked me to start work at their Cumbria base on the 22nd, so I'll have to travel up on the Sunday. Don't think I'm gonna make this now (Y) Dave

Don't know what you mean Rich B) Dave

Fair do's.

Meh, you never know! (All opinions expressed are unsubstantiated and (possibly) fictional) (Y)" Dave

I'm not going to bad mouth the Butlers as I've only met them a few times although I've known them for many years and have never been exposed to the bad attitude people are mentioning. What I do know is that they are very talented riders and based on riding ability I have no doubt that they deserve to represent the UK. Dave

I'll be at the Hampshire comp. Wasn't overly impressed by NASS last year to be honest. Ah well. Dave

I think the main concern people have here is that two of this countries best riders have been left out of the squad. Clearly certain criteria have not been met by these riders which means an exception would have to be made to allow them to compete...So why can't this exception be considered? If Martyn Ashton had entered late a couple of years ago (when he still competed regularly) I doubt there would have been any hesitation with allowing him to compete for his country. Maybe they should be officially adopted by the Coustellier family and ride for the French team... (Y)

Person: George Bush Reason: There isn't enough time in the universe to explain why I'd like to kick his retarded redneck child molesting ass! Boy would I like to open a can of whoopass on that lame excuse for a human.

Wear gloves...or take a chalk bag with you like rock climbers...

Is anybody else wondering why we would even want the olympics here? It's just going to cost us billions and screw everything up for a long time. As for trials I hope to Satan that it never becomes an olympic sport. The olympics is quickly becoming a farce. I mean SOLO synchronised swimming for fooks sake? Come on. Meh Dave P.S. I thought XC was already an olympic sport...

Sameer, give me a shout if you do end up in Soton. Just finished my Masters here and am doing an EngD now. City's ok, nothing special, but the uni itself is good. What subject you looking at? Dave Marshall

Who's involved in the team selection process anyway? That seems VERY odd to me... For sure Danny is one of the best talents the UK has to offer at the moment and it looks like petty biketrials politics may have struck once again. Anyone on here with an 'official' standpoint on the matter? Dave

I'll be there too. Should be good fun! I likes man made sections!! Dave

But they probably have rims that match their hair colour/underwear! (Y)" Dave

Aren't the newest Montys around the 21lb mark? There is no such thing as 'too light' provided you aren't sacrificing strength (i.e. drilling stems/steerer tubes etc!). Think my T-Rex is about 25-26 running singlespeed...Don't really care to be honest!! Dave

Sorry, going against the grain with this but it didn't do anything for me. I guess if I had any idea what the comic was about it might of made more sense but it was just too wierd for my liking. Meh, too arty farty for me!! Dave

Video This used to be on the biketrials.pl site but has since disappeared. Perfect technique (Y) Dave
