  1. I thought all the slopestyle stuff was being commentated on by Ed Leigh and some other snowboarder dude who both know their shit... Lizzy Yarnold looking really good for gold on the Skeleton. For anyone who cares she's also really nice and properly down to earth. Fingers crossed
  2. For reference that value comes from the fact that bike chains have a 1/2" pitch (that is each pin is 1/2" or 12.7mm apart) so adding a half link extends the chain by 1/2" but because the chain wraps doubles up on itself to create a loop it actually alters the wheel position by half that or 6.35mm.
  3. I seriously hope for the other dude's sake someone downloaded that to reupload. G, stop being such an incredible thundercunt.
  4. We've had a lot to do with the Skeleton Bob team at work so will be following that closely. All this subjective judging crap just annoys me though. There seem very few events where it's not about what some little nazi in an office thinks of the run rather than anything else.
  5. Critical things with BMX are the BB type and axle diameter. If your BB is still ok you'll just need to get cranks to suit the BB bearings (usually 19mm or 22mm though you can get shims to accept 19mm cranks in 22mm bearings). If you need a whole set including BB then you need to get the right type of BB for the frame though it looks like it may be a mid BB which is nice and straight forward.
  6. Some tyres lend themselves to being run certain ways round to get the most traction in a certain direction. The way to run them in trials isn't necessarily the way they would be used on a normal MTB. Generally depends on the tyre and whether you're looking at front or rear.
  7. Have a polar bear facepalm.
  8. Similar but different concept: http://www.tubliss.com/
  9. Theory's been around for a long time on vehicles (https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=future+tyre+technology&espv=210&es_sm=122&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=2_LzUvDBG8ae7Ab65oEw&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1920&bih=959) but interesting to see that they seem to be using parts of normal tyres so just replacing the innertube/sidewalls (?).
  10. Trialtech site agrees with yours: http://www.trialtech.co.uk/product.php?product_id=78
  11. That's a very good point. Tiff and Jason (and Vicky) actually give proper feedback on what's good and bad about the cars they drive and can give real comparison while making the program entertaining. Top Gear's just plain stupid these days.
  12. Almost certainly won't have had a diver in the water. Risk assessment may have indicated they needed a designated life guard on standby but a diver would be way OTT.
  13. If you're going to make a stupid bogus topic at least link to something that's also related. Skip to 7:01 to see a proper beastly nose manual. www.youtube.com/watch?v=irlsOHGb3h4 Or for the lazy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irlsOHGb3h4#t=421
  14. It really, really doesn't! Yup, good to see he's still riding .
  15. The real question is does she actually call him Nad and if so is there more to it than that it's Dan backwards? Now I'm not one to make fun of monorchism so a serious discussion regarding how such a condition may affect a young man may be in order.
  16. Gary Young's new edit: http://www.vitalbmx.com/videos/member/Gary-Youngs-First-Ever-All-Street-Video,52739/kylecarlson,363 Also: Animal Bikes Vimeo Video -> Original Video
  17. I guess it's an in-between. Danny rode a few modified Fourplays with different geometry to the production models and they would've formed the basis of the Skye. Whether it's a custom geo Fourplay or a prototype Skye would be fuzzy I'd have thought.
  18. Yeah, if you're on your own in a pub and approach a girl (or more likely a gaggle of girls) it kinda screams PSYCHO RAPIST.
  19. The pedals must've been clicking like a good un for a while...
