Dai the Socket

So. I've had 2 maxxis tubes. Shamefully i know. The first one i cut through when opening the package from Tartybikes, with scissors. That'll teach me to open stuff more carefully won't it! So that one was a gonner, and i just threw it away. Ordered my next one for the saturday ride the next day. Got a puncture 2nd day of riding it. Snake bite when the tube was REALLY hard and it didn't even rim, not that me or my mates could tell anyway (Y) Then today I was riding bradford and ragged a wall to backwheel, it hit the rim very slightly, hardly anything at all and since i had a monty tube before that, It copes with stuff like that FINE. Then it was going a little soft and I realised I had puncture. Got to the car, drove to brighouse, repaired it (put on some "Park Tools Super Patches" which went on fine. Put it in, set it up, went riding again. Went riding for half an hour and it went flat again. As you could tell i was REALLY annoyed. I got it all off the wheel again, then put another patch on as this was only ONE hole. Checked the tyre and rimtape really thoroughly and nothing was to be seen. Comparing Maxxis 20" tubes to Monty ones, they seem so much thinner, and lighter, and much less beefy and suited for trials! I'm really not impressed and i'll get some pics of the tube in like half an hour once i've been bothered to get the tube out. I'm ordering a Monty Tube. Nick.

Yeah. My mates just got some Green ones and he had to use his angle grinder to take some pad off. I'd make the pads 7mm and add the 2 mm or so into the pad for safety (Y). The green ones work well though. Nick

They're mainly designed for Snail cams (Y) They even come with the bolts in for them :) I've got Echo ones on my ride too. Get them, they're really easy to set up. Nic :D

I've been riding 1 year 4 months now. Can't remember what i could do when i was 1 year into riding :"> Now i can: 180 gap, gap bikes length 3/4 Rail gap. Rail to Rail gaps (Y) Gap from backwheel upto backwheel bar height Sidehop 1-2" over bar height Backwheel bar height, just over on a good day. Do big ish gap drops. So yeh, i think i learnt quick apparently. I'm happy with my progress at the moment :):D

hehe. It is a fact though. If you're a girl rider. You're more likely to get sponsorship when you're shitter than a boy without sponsorship. ie. Girls need to be NOT AS GOOD for sponsorship. :angry:

Hey. Nice video. I was surprised. Appear to have quite a harsh style though! But not too bad :- You make up for it by going quite big :angry: Keep them coming. I'm gonna make me a video soon :lol: Nick

Yeah good point actually. On the pop-up windows on Album Two the windows are 10pixles bigger (width and height) than the image. Do they fit ok for everyone? They fit fine for me on my Mac. But Rich's computer seems to be gay. :D Thanks for all the comments so far people :- I'm feeling happy now :)

'cos I haven't made one :"> He's only just got his new Koxx and I haven't done a full spec for it :- I've put a temp page up anyways. Cheers dude

Hey there :- New pictures of today's ride in Leeds are on www.wytrials.co.uk (album2) and I've changed some things about. Home page layout, new contact form etc. Hope you like it. Comments on the pics and site would be much apprichiated. Good or bad. Nick Carter, (webmaster :-)

Jon was being sarcastic with the *holds hand up* etc bit :- So it wasn't an apology :-:-

This isn't MSN messenger. That could be email'd. Stupid boy.

(Y) also some stuff doesn't make sense. Like the pads:

The Trials-forum link gives http://www.trials-forum.co.uk%20/ so you've put it with a space at the end (Y) Hence the %20. Change that and it'll work a treat :) Also feel free to put www.wytrials.co.uk up! hehe. :"> edit: I kinda forgot to mention I like the site loads. Nice use of the frame and you can't really noticed it that much, all blends really well. Also the pics are really good. I love loads of pics of a product.

There's a leeds ride tomorrow also :) We'll be there Sunday though. Carl maybe, Me, Danny, Rick, John Maybe, Simon and maybe Alex Richardson / Nadine (Y) Nick

The Architects place I went to was mega boring. They did loads of houses. Some conversions so that you can have a lift in your company's building. Then some really expensive posh houses. Seems v boring IMO. I need something that's interesting to me, design work, media, use of Mac's or computers preforably! Or a physical job like the police maybe. Something that's new every day. You've got space to progress into higher pay and stuff. I quite like advertisement and designs of posters / product design so maybe something in that might be good for me :)

Yeah that'd be cool. Can you like just be hired by a company, say ermmmmm. MBUK, and get paid to go the something, say the bikeshow, and take loads of ace pictures. Then MBUK will buy them off you, or they'll be included in the overall price? Stuff like that but for anything, not just biking? (Y) I really like photography too you see :D And Media stuff. Especially Graphic Design though, but my mum says unless you make it really big, then you dont get much money.

I'm thinking about life at the moment. (Y) I'm really not sure what I want to be when i'm older. I'm thinking about the Police, but not 100% on that one. I was thinking about Architecture but I went there on work experience and it seemed so LAME! What do you want to be when you're older? :) I can't decide what to do. Apprenticeship, or 6th Form, then Uni? or what! Anyways. Gimme your opinions etc. Thanks for 'you time. -=Nick=- :D:P

Haha lets hope so eh! Yeah. Just cruse around looking like you own the place and if anyone in an Evo / Skyline / BMW / Merc / Lambo / Porch / Big Volvo / Ford etc want to race you, turn your 'tunezzzz' up so loud you can't hear them and look cool :P :P

Joe speakith the truth! :P Looks pimp :P Sounds Pimp :P ... But dont try to race ANYONE. :P

All the way from Chesterfield? Doubt it :P Me and Danny live near each other :P

Rick'll borrow his Dad's 2.5l BMW estate (Y) *hoses danny off*

Hehe I do feel sorry for what i'm about to do (piss on your bonfire) That's a Courtesy car for his 1.4 Punto, which he's getting done so he can sell it. For his new 2.0 TDCI Ford Focus (sitting on 18's) or 1.6 Ti-VCT Focus (Y) Obviously on (18's, but with Induction Kit also he's thinking) Nick :P Hehe. Dont make me look up a 0-60 time on one of them :P

The Clio we have got for 1 week and a bit to boyrace. Which we did tonight :P Clio ^ Rick (best mate) In clio ^ It's a 1.2, 3 door Clio Extreme (Y). Shifts faster than his 1.4 Fiat Punto! We got 110mph on the motorway today :P with 3 people in, on flat :P Acceleration is very fast (see video) Here's a video I took on my phone: http://wytrials.users.digital-crocus.com/u...lio_boyrace.3gp (you need quicktime) -=Nick=- :P
