That's looking sweet,gonna see less of you then Ben ! Some of those obstacles look familiar ha ha

Mine's worked for ages no probs. I used 3 pieces of blade (2 as springs,1 as extra support for the springs.It'stty much the same set up as a leaf spring on a landrover only a bit smaller). It works as well as the original and is probably lighter than the steel rule idea. Any metal with a bit of spring in it will do i think.

Hiya, I had the same problem with mine. I used a bi-metal hacksaw blade to sort mine out and it works a treat now. If you want to see it i'll put a pic up for you.

Lookin good oz,there are some lovely shots in there. It makes all the difference having a professional taking care of the filming !!

Great vid matt,it looks wicked. Really puts mine to shame I really liked the use of the shadows. Who's the fat boy with the driver then ? Ha Ha !

I can also testify in the bbspacergate scandal as to the whereabouts of said spacers on daves bb.they weren't on the bike,they were simply in the same box as broken bb. I know this because i actually got my hands dirty and removed the bb myself.

Nothing special,I took the photo and just thought it looked great and I wanted to share it.

'tis true,I need a little practice with the filming,get some better angles.

Hello everyone,here's another vid from West Wales Bike Trials. It's a short collection of clips of Dave Kerr making use of the facilities at WWBT. Please don't slag of my vid making skills as Stephen Spielburg I am not. Please enjoy it anyway. Cheers Nick ( idlehans )

Hi Willis,the barn belongs to a friend of mine and I did everything else myself. Anyone can come and ride as long as you book a place, you can contact me through here on the forum or through my facebook group (west wales bike trials ) or you can phone me on 07970 080714. I'm open on weekends and there's a regular session on tuesday nights. We also have basic camping facilities ( indoor and out ! ) so if you want to make a weekend of it that's cool. Please be aware that if you are under 18 you'll need consent from a parent or guardian ( I can email you the forms ) Thanks for taking an interest in wwbt, hopefully i'll see you soon Cheers Nick (idlehans)

Hi Mike,I was interested in the charter for compassion right up to the point when I realised it was a religious thing. There does need to be a lot more compassion in the world but religion is no good for this. I believe religion has caused more pain and suffering than any other single cause I will have nothing to do with it. I definately want a more compassionate world but we have to take it upon ourselves as individuals to be good to each other. We need a massive change in the consiousness of the human race and it won't come from religion. I really do hope things change. Cheers Nick

Hi Matt,how you doin'? thanks for comments on the vid. I've watched it back a few times now and It's definately to long. I'm editing it back to about 5 mins and changing some of the footage and then i'll re-post it (tonight probably). Hopefully see you back in the barn soon. Cheers dude Nick

Hi crispyboy,there's video on the vid section of the forum and i'll put some more pics up this morning. Look for West Wales Bike Trials video no.1 and no.2. I'm actually editing no.2 because I got a bit carried away and it's 9 mins long. Anyway, the vids give a good impression West Wales Bike Trials so have a look. Cheers Nick (idlehans)

Hello everyone, I've put up the second vid of clips from wwbt. I hope you enjoy and I hope it gives a good impression of the place. If you want to know more email me wwbt@btinernet.com or phone me on 07970 080714. Hello again, i've watched the vid a few times more and it's blatantly too damn long. I've edited it down to 5 mins and put some different clips in and now I'm happy with it. I hope you dudes are as well. Please have a look and let me know what you think. Cheers Nick You don't need to stop riding when the weather turns to sh#te. Don't stop the hop !!

If your interested why not join the facebook group "West Wales Bike Trials" or email me ( Nick ) either at wwbt@btinternet.com or here on the forum. I'll email you directions and forms. The address isn't there because I can't have people just turning up. You must book in with me because there is limited space ( 10 riders per session ) and I don't want to turn people away.

Is anyone planing to build a freewheel that fits onto the exsisting spline patterns,middleburn or shimano ? either would be good because threads are a crap way of doing it....

It's daft,I think middleburn are missing a trick here, how many people on here would buy a set of middleburn screw-on's ? I definately would and I don't think I'm alone in this.

Hi Ali,thanks for replying.What are those cranks for then if they're not suitable for trials then ?

Hello, I've heard somewhere that middleburn are going to make a set of screw-on cranks. Can anyone confirm or deny that this is the case ? I hope it's true

Hello everyone,just a note to say i've uploaded this vid onto youtube now.I did try to upload it directly onto the forum rather than using photobucket but I couldn't find it myself then either.Anyway,it's here now.

Hey Oli,thanks for your comments,it's really encouraging to hear that kind of thing. Have you seen the vid yet ? There's more to come and i'll be posting more in due course. Cheers Nick

Hey Jamie,how's it goin ? I hope you're healing up ok. That cooton reel thing is rock solid i'll have you know !

but what if it's too wet/cold/windy brrrrrrrrrrr,whatever shall we do ?

Hi kyddie, we're only 1 1/2 hrs from Bristol,end of the M4 and along a bit in a place called Carmarthen. If you want to book yourself in then email me or message me on here and i'll send you the directions and other bits. If you're on facebook there's a group called West Wales Bike Trials that i've set up and there's more photo's on there.Hopefully see you soon. Cheers Nick p.s. If you're under 18 you'll need parental consent so the forms need to be filled before you come.If not you can fill them on the day.

Hi Will,I'm open weekends and tuesday evenings for now. If you want to book yourself in to ride just email me or message me on here.Also matt has my mobile number (i'm not keen to put it on here just yet as my phone is red hot already !!). Basically as long as I know your coming I can let you know if there's space.The night before is enough notice, but if you decide to ride at shorter notice then give me ring on the mobile rather than e-mail. Hope to see you soon. Cheers Nick
