  1. As has been said spanks are legendary! DMR DV's are very good. Tioga DH rims are strong and look uber pimp!
  2. Never thought of it that way!!
  3. Sounds kinda random but i have a dedicated riding playlist made up of my favourite songs from different trials, mtb and MX films. So i have pendulum and butterfly effect from "trials is dead", fear factory from "down" Q.O.T.S.A from "heaven and hell" that kinda stuff. Probably sounds wierd to you guys though!

    Watched Skyline thursday night. Really wasnt impressed. Just thought it was so meh!
  6. Those massive 4 piece bmx style DH bars they made!! And the QR skewer that was an allen key aswell that you could remove to stop people nickin your wheels. And anybody remember the insane lookin aluminium DH bike with the MX style seat unit?
  7. I remember a convo with my old man about 99'/00' Me, dad i need to borrow some money Dad, why? Me, i killed my back wheel Dad, how? Me, i jumped of the garage roof. Dad, ok! Ah those were the days!! Lmao
  8. I love mine! One thing i will say is buy a QUALITY cable. A linear cable is what im running a sound investment i would say!!
  9. What was the name of the French rider who rode for DBR back in the day?? That Lobo rode like a bag of shit im sorry to say! They say never meet your idols Thats why i've never ridden a Brooklyn TMX!
  10. Oh yeah it was Cooper! Matt Farmer was their DH rider!! Ryan leech is an amazing rider, one of the best all rounders on the planet!!
  11. Kelly Sallone!! Who else remembers the vertical pull shock GT lobo?? Schwinn straight 8? Spooky Bandwagon? Who was the rider that used to ride trials for Raleigh? Was it Matt Farmer?
  12. Its been posted before but the DCD!! What a piece of kit! The MRP with the orange rollers in a time before all this I.S.C.G stuff! The DMR 22t ring thing for 3 piece bmx cranks! Also thinkin about the older videos. Sprung 3 & sprung 4 were immense! Tricks and stunts, bi-king, evolve, down, double down, chainspotting, dirty deeds and psycho speeds.
  13. Oh shit yeah! I had one of them on my barracuda as a hose guide!
  14. The trials bike group test in mbuk. Was a brisa b26, saracen mad, merlin "trials" and a couple others. Ah those were the days! The Mavic D521 ceramic! The bight red shimano DX v brake.

    Harry brown is awesome. Really enjoyed it.
  16. Yeah boi!!! They were actually pretty good tyres in all fairness
  17. Sub 19lbs cresent illinois stock! Red, white and blue team m.a.d x-torts that made a glorious pinging sound when a stone shot up off your tyre! Tioga cube stems, azonic double walls blue wall schwalbe space tyres, Rob warner cage pedals, michelin comp 16's, azonic cnc shorty stems. Away from trials there was the Brooklyn Machine Works TMX! Giant atx 1, azonic ds1, marzocchi jr T, mr T and monster T forks, the insane (at the time!) hope dh4 disc brake, shimano xt 4 pot brake, hope big 'un hubs and the intense M1.
  18. I remember the MBUK issue that was precided over by the martins. Chris Akrigg's pace with hope C2 brakes with trick solid "wave" disc rotors (way before everybody else started making them), El gato tyres, misson 48 spoke trials wheels, ryan leech busting his top tube with his nuts in 'evolve', brisa B20's, power pros, hope mono hubs being the in thing with "well off" riders, cannondale fatty r's, koolstop reds, Eddie tongue, Jeff lenosky's front hops with rock shox. Happy times.

    Films!?

    Got to watch a couple of films i recoreded on the old sky+ yesterday while i was off ill. The 1st was The flag of our fathers. Which was an amazing film about the US soldiers who famously raised the flag at Iwo Jima. And the other was Catch me if you can. Which i really enjoyed and would say if you havent already seen it, give it a watch!
  20. I used to live in Huntly so i only made the odd trip via train, i never found much but then again i didnt venture too far incase i got lost I used to ride the skate park down by the sea front mostly (i know its not there anymore) and anything else i found down there.
  21. Surprisingly there wasnt much good street in the city centre that i could find at least. There is quite alot of riding to be had down at the sea front though.
  22. Also the shimano acera is a very good brake for a fraction less than the sd7.
  23. The way Lewis is driving i dont think Jenson will need any help or team orders as Lewis will probably hit the self destruct button anyway.
  24. I think Massa is past his prime now. The crash in Hungary has spooked him (as it would anybody) and he cant get past it completely. In the same way it affected Sir Stirling Moss with his crash. I'd of said Jenson would of been concidered as the No.1 driver earlier in the season around the German round if i was team principal that is!
