  1. Mine arrived yesterday . Some awesome riding in there- you won't be disappointed!
  2. It doesn't need to be a trials shop. Track bikes (think velodrome) and gay fixies (if you have such things in Russia) would be another source for the parts.
  3. Unfortunately that's the same for all the big charities. They all have incredibly expensive central London offices employing hundreds of people doing who knows what. I'd love to see the actual percentage of donations that get to those who need it...
  4. I guess I just don't have the attention span to cope with all the BS. It just seemed like a 45 minute long Baz Luhrmann 'everybody's free to wear sunscreen' monologue...
  5. I simply don't have the patience to watch something like that... As said above- as a riding video it sucked. I tried fast forwarding through to find the riding but all that was pretty samey fast singletrack so I gave up. Very 'pretty' but not for me.
  6. It's hard not to want to buy a BMX after watching it too! If I thought I could ride even a quarter as good as that if I had a BMX (again) I'd buy one right now...
  7. Haven't seen this in here. I heart Dakota Roche. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=5e4TG33bJYU
  8. Depends how long the post is. You'd want the seat post to be in the frame below the bottom of the top tube weld plus a bit. Could well be your problem...
  9. Andrei's riding is just nuts these days. Massive respect!
  10. I'm trying to keep out of this but the one thing that I do find mental is the likes of people being allowed to wear a Burka for their passport photo (not sure what the UK policy is on that but I know some places allow it) and also a recent case I read about of a primary school teacher who kicked up a fuss because she was asked to remove it. I've grown up in a time when the only time you see a balaclava it's either an IRA propaganda video or armed robber or whatever. If you're covering your face it's to conceal you identity and at the very heart of it it's sinister. For a school teacher to only show her eyes, that's not only a bit sinister but also conceals a lot about what they're thinking. We get a lot of information from someone's face and to cover it up is wrong when working with kids or whatever. I'm quite happy to say that I'm religionist or whatever you'd like to call it- I'm an aetheist but I hate the stupidity shown by those who truly believe the drivel spouted by religions. I'm quite happy for them to do what they want so long as it doesn't affect me or my way of life. For sure be a Muslim just don't murder your daughter if she looks at a white boy (or girl for that matter)...
  11. It'll do the job on a kart track but I wouldn't want to wear it on the road. Looks reasonably 'proper' from the outside which I guess is the main thing! In unrelated news I went to Nitro Circus Live last night at the O2 which was pretty awesome. Not as much unscripted craziness as I expected/would've liked but some impressive shit going down. Special flip on MX, side by side body varials on MX, triple backflip on BMX. All good stuff!
  12. Love it, really easy watch and some wicked lines in there from Mr C. By the way, what bars are you running Ali?
  13. I think in general a lot of the more successful British comedy is more 'intelligent' comedy- irony, satire, clever play on words etc. Whereas the comedy I've seen is using stupid voices and yo' mamma jokes... I guess the comics have to aim at the average IQ of their viewers which in the states equates to that of the average British PE teacher. Edit: Actually that probably relates more to stand up. They have certainly put out some good stuff with TV etc- the obvious one that sticks in my head being Family Guy which is kind of stupid humour (baby wants to kill mum, fart jokes, drunk jokes) but with some fairly off the wall direct hits using satire.
  14. The cheap ones are usually just a variable resistor to fool the ECU into thinking the engine's always cold so it runs richer. It'll give a power boost right until his engine melts I'd guess.
  15. Natural camo is done freestyle, potentially with some freehand masking using fern leaves or similar, digital camo I can imagine being more tricky...
  16. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/topic/174351-trying-out-new-koxx-2013-prototype-frame/#entry2410437
  17. I did my old Inspired in camo. Looked quite cool:
  18. Awesome to see Nyquist take it seeing as he must be like 50 now.
  19. Giffgaff all the way. Hit me up if you want some free money for being referred.
