sata drives transfer data faster as far as im aware but if you've got 1 ide and 1 sata then you'll always be limited by the ide speed between drives and there should be a setting in the bios of the motherboard to select the sata as the main drive. took me ages to figure out on mine though!

do i need to ask about that green outfit?! yes? haha

They broke I'm pretty blind without em. Riding was...interesting!

seeing IS believing...

had a bit of a hoe down in leeds today recent addition to the curtis team BEN TRAVIS doing a wallride. a little different to his usual riding but he got bored of the long bike thing so he's on 24 now not an addition to the curtis team but inspired 24..DANNY MAC doing his thing shortly before he fell onto a penis belonging to a small boy video soon from inspired dave i believe. and pictures from tim might have some more messy pictures from tonights antics haha.

Wasn't that logo designed by the ORIGINAL Onza company in the early 90's who started making the Ules, Porkipaws and HO brakes? That is pretty old

My friend was in the same situation as JT, but in reverse. She met an American guy on a gap year 3 and a half years ago. They have been together ever since, spent their gap year together. Then he had to go back to the States. So for 2 years they only saw each other alternating who visited who during christmas, easter and summer holidays (she was at Uni.) but obviously stayed in contact every day. Then one time he got turned away when coming over to visit by UK immigration. I think they got their stories mixed up, but either way he didn't have as much of a reason to be here as he thought. It from that point that they decided they needed to get married. Even so they hadn't seen a massive amount of each other. He moved over at the start of this summer under a marriage visa. For the 3 months before they were officially married he could NOT work here (even labouring, not officially even gardening for someone - though you'd never get caught) otherwise he would have gotten kicked straight back to the US They got married in August, and he's just got his first job in the UK last week. Once all the papers had gone through. So it can work. But yeh, fancy getting married?! Couldn't do any of that myself. They're both Christian which probably made it seem a lot more logical - I dunno. I remember he said to me that it was all about the "next step" that motivated them to do it. Some couples move in together as a next step, but obviously they couldn't even move into the same country together. So the next step for them was marriage! /story

He doesn't meant he is afraid of you and your friend for any reason.. He means he is sorry that he cannot help you

Agreed. C V S is amazing.

No it's fine...I'm glad you have some decent thoughts and didn't just start shouting the odds I'm only trying to make a decent thread and provoke some discussion!

Haha that's the future...the 360 tap up! I'm going right now to practice that one.

I've got a BMX and I ride it totally differently to my 24 inch bike. But anyway... I think most people have missed the point. I wasn't saying at all there is anything wrong with people riding to "inch hunt" and practicing sidehops all day even if I wouldn't find that especially interesting myself. What I find interesting personally is finding a unique spot and a way of linking 2 unique objects together. Not finding a wall which is half an inch higher to try / practice sidehopping it. My questions were concerned the limits of urban riding, the heights involved and the geometry of the bike. And where will things go once the limits are (or are close to) being reached? (If they ever will, I don't know?) Point being - to the people who've said 10 years ago a 30" sidehop was huge and now we're doing 50+ Trials was a lot newer then, especially stock bikes coming from MTBs. So the potential for change in terms of geometry was very large. And so was the evolution of frame design. These days, hasn't everything been tried? We've tried super high BBs then gone back again. We've tried super long frames and gone to back to ones a bit shorter for the most part. I've not seen (m)any design or geometry changes to the 2008 Deng frames besides some different CNC bits. Why is this? Because the OPTIMUM geometry has been reached and kept constant? Even over the last 2 years frames have remained relatively similar. So if bike design has reached it's peak and bikes are as good as they can be - the only thing that can improve is technique. And that's my point, there must be a limit to human strength and the forces of gravity limiting how high riders can hop? Then what?

1.) that was a pretty ghetto demo version of the rakes - 22 grand job! (1st song) 2.) that guy first clip after the police dude nearly ate shit so bad on that rail haha. saved by the rear brake 3.) i can't believe i saw a KOXX CRANKFLIP, it's been ages! (probably a good thing ) 4.) absolutely massive riding!! brilliant

get some facts here... ------------------------ Hope Pro 3 Front The new Pro3 hub replaces the Mono hubs. With the proven range of Pro2s having gone from strength to strength since they were launched, the Pro3 is the development of that hub, and is specifically aimed at road and non disc users. The hub uses custom stainless cartridge bearings. these have been designed and produced by INA and are super smooth running – ideal for fast road wheels. The hub shell is machined from a solid billet of 2014 T6 aluminium. The Pro3 utilises all the features and benefits of the Pro2, but offers a light weight, well sealed extremely smooth and free running system – that suits road applications in the UK perfectly. • Weight: 110g http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=17383 ------------------------ Hope Pro 3 Rear 135mm The new Pro3 hub replaces the Mono hubs.

are we heading towards a sport which is similar to athletics in that bikes/geometry get leaner and techniques get better, meaning we can add height to every move there is just as pro athletes shave milliseconds off or add millimeters to world records over time? is there a curve which will flatten out? will the top riders find it harder and harder to improve, whilst in the meantime others come closer to catching them up? where will people hit a brick-wall in terms of height? will anyone ever hook up an 8 ft wall from flat? what do you think? discuss. no arguing. no naming names. GO!

jesus christ man some of that stuff looks beyond a joke! that rail manual ACTUALLY was from the very top where can i order it?! mind blowing

had it all really... epic intro music fade to black black and white slow mo tape measure on/off sidehops heavy metal hucking off a roof to some grass blagged/repeated clips good work

still not been to bed, been up all night doing uni work for a 4pm deadline today coding coldfusion to gather web statistics and output them basically left 7 weeks work all 'til the last minute that'll be why i've been sat here for like, 16 hours then!

I for one aren't doubting that it's a good service to offer, and a nice gesture. Merely stating that you wouldn't do it unless you had some motivation towards profit, or were at least covering costs.

I dunno man. I was more thinking flat-out bunnyhop gap pretty much flat to flat, not hucking off a cliff of anything - check 2 minutes in...big gap!

if you're talking about the actual furthest ever gap on a bike from flat ground without a ramp - someone like josh stricker or garrett byrnes probably hold that on a bmx

Is that because even at half price, you're still making a profit?

Great business idea, I'm sure you'll do pretty well! Seems like you have the skills for it. Seems a little under priced to me for what you're doing! Which leads me onto my next point...for your website - let the photography do the talking! The site's okay and quite novel but why confine the main selling point of your business to a small box in the middle of the screen?! Seems daft to me. I think you'd be far better with a flat website, making use of all the good images you've taken. Illustrators tend do this to good effect on their sites - have minimal text and base their sites around the fact they're good at illustration and make them look pretty... Just my thoughts anyway
