Another seriously AWESOME video! Man, I love your riding sooo much. Insaane drop and sidehops are silly huge. Really enjoy watching your videos, your one of the top street riders IMO. Keep it up and please keep making videos. They are very inspirational and make me wanna go riding. Great work.

Cheers. Now need to make sure I can ride tomorrow!

Nah, it's fine. Constructive criticism is good. Hmm... me thinks about 9 months. Cheers Ross. Yeah, that would be decent. Same you can't ride anymore.

Hello, Selectboikes. Hehehehe

I know what you mean. I need to work on that a bit. Cheers for the comments. And yeah! Lol. Was alot rougher in real life! Haha.

Cheers. Main vid will be out whenever I can borrow someones camera!

Hey, These are just clips that i'm not using for my main video. I was planning on, but since these were filmed a while back i've improved and don't want to use them in my main video anymore. Vimeo Trials-Forum Video -> Full View • Download • Upload EDIT: Vimeo link now added.

Hehe. That back brake was beast. It's lost it's hold now due to my anodising wearing. Vee's are the best! Haha. No doubt.

incredibly smooth.

Erm... well no. It won't unscrew itself but it will get jammed because of the pressure making the threads strip. As long as you don't turn it too high it'll be fine.

Still good Ross! Ridings good. Maybe a wee bit downhill. Wheres that spot you were riding for quite alot of that video? Looks quite good.

It's fine. Erm... I couldn't tell you sorry. Are the sidewalls black aswell? I'm not sure. Evo 2 adaptors are always a pain in the arse to set up. But once you've set it up once, it SHOULD be fine for an acceptable amount of time. (If you've set it up good that is) There is always just turning up your TPA. But it's not reccomended to set your brake up this way. i tend to just keep turning the TPA up but I keep an eye on it at the lever. And when a certain amount of threads are showing, i'll set the whole thing up again. If you turn it up too high it will strip ***. If you look side on at the lever you can see how much TPA usage there is.

Awesome riding. Down to front was mega! Still not as big as Damons though. Damon remains the king of down to fronts.

+1 Couldn't agree more. Thread should be re-opened.

Wow! Really liked that video. Great editing, nice song and holy shit you've improved. Great front to back on the rail aswell. Keep it up mate.

The calliper isn't fully returning because you need to tighten the spring tension. The two wee bolts that stick out of each arm, keep tightening each on evenly until the lever comes all the way back.

Seen the clips before but beast vid Higgs!

LOVED that. Great find. That's alot of filming equipment. Awesome riding.

Best riding frame i've ever been on. Sit on back wheel amazing! Feels great to ride. Sidehops like a dream.

Ahh, sounds like you put wayy to much on. We've all over-tarred our rims at some point. Firstly, to fix it, sand the top layer of tar off your pads and clean your rim with white spirit (Unless your running an anodised rim. I have a feeling the white spirit will make it come off but not sure), if you have anodised, try and clean it with hot soapy water then make sure you get ALL of it off after by rinsing it with water. However, if you don't care about your sidewalls or it's already been ground etc. White spirit works amazing. Just put some on a paper towel or something and scrub the rim. The tar basically flies off. Secondly, putting the tar on. You don't want to end up doing the same thing again. Theres two main methods for putting it on. Most people use this one. Spin the wheel and lightly touch the tar on the side of the rim for a second or two, then do the same to the other side. I don't like that way though because I can never get the right amount on. All do is, with the wheel still, just put wee lines of it at certain parts of the rim. So about 3-4 lines on 1 side then the same on the other. After you've put it on cycle around with your brake on for a few seconds to spread it round the rim. It will make an awful racket but you only to do it for a few seconds. Just experiment with it but making sure you don't put too much on. Hope this helps.

No longer a Late Night Thread virgin.

Hmm...

Gotta say Onza Ice.

Betrayer!

Looks awesome!
