  1. Mental disorders or any kind of psychiatric disturbance , I don't even like to lose the slightest bit of control hence entirely drug free .

    Jumps

    "...they say jump and you say how high, you're braindead , you got a f**kin' bullet in you head ..."
  3. Surprising too , because Yamaguchi are a reputable builder , notable for custom race frames .
  4. Blimey ! Mighty impressive riding and I'll confess to being skeptical when I saw the height bar . You guys put on a killer show .
  5. Given my username I'm kinda bound by ancient oaths to reply in this thread . As to actual advice - yeah , learn to overdo it and learn that you can safely bail then get a feel for where that tipping point is . ^ Correct .
  6. The Something Awful forums are always good for a chuckle and an interesting read ,paid subscription but worth it .
  7. Really cool ! Didn't know Jason Stathham was a director . Clever cold opening with the lonely night street scene which goes into a diversity of people just havin' fun on bikes . I ain't gonna run out and buy an HTC , but always good to see Mr.Mucke , too !
  8. Abundance doesn't make yours any less interesting , looks agile and light and as for : ..well , umm Chuckled at the topic title too !
  9. If those damned crate / boxes just had some rubber matting under 'em so they didn't slide it would have made a world of difference , surely he noticed they were loose during practice ( if any ) ? Is there any awareness of what trials is among the U.S general population ?It seems by all accounts a bike unfriendly country across all disciplines , let alone just general private use . EDIT : Was it too much effort to clean that bike that will be filmed and broadcast under studio lighting in high definition - look at that dirty assed rear King hub .
  10. Incidentally , killer delivery times and service from Trialmarkt too , if any further evidence were needed against senior members' Tarty bias .
  11. Superb ,really inspiring when downright big lines are executed so effortlessly and I admire any rider who'll show his crashes too !
  12. Really impressive as always and it's great to see he actually enjoys riding .Love the little correction " pops" he does upon landing like at 01:30 , looks so energetic . Heavily strapped / braced wrists he O.K ?
  13. Choice aplenty actually ,up to and includin' full sus DH monsters (in the topographically flattest country in Europe ! ) but I really want a fully rigid bike with V's . I thought that my Cannondale , also secondhand from the same site would do the trick : ...but the blasted lockout still leaves ,like 5mm of motion which jars unpleasantly like bone scraping on bone and emits a smoothness killing thunk . You're right -the Speccy's spec really is dated though having seen it in person,it really is in literally perfect condition though I declined the purchase . It's in my favour that I can wait a while as most buyers want sus , disc brakes etc so it'll be available for a while yet . Hmmm , First World problems ...
  14. First off - this general cycling sub forum is one of the best additions to our hallowed forum in years , good show mods ! My question - I'm on the very brink of going ahead with buying a used bike and need your advice whether it's overpriced or not . It's this speccy m5 which I'm going to inspect / collect tonight . The ad's largely in Dutch but I guess you can make out most of the spec ? King hubs & headset ,carbon fork ,XTR STI and v's , eggbeaters etc , seemingly in great condition . The fella wants 1100 € for it ( approx 994 quid. ) Hideously overpriced / reasonable / bargain ?
  15. Really cool to watch , killer riding location .
  16. Us foreign fellas wanna see this !
  17. Blimey , you ain't kiddin- joined in '04 yet only 16 posts ! Welcome back , let's hope it's just jour body being unaccustomed to riding .
  18. still had the presence of mind for a tailwhip
  19. Mark's hub caused socioeconomic upheaval and a religious schism ? Tasty riding Mr.Westlake ,on a truly chameleonic bike !
  20. Damn ! Having specced , bought and assembled my ideal back wheel : ...I'm back to the Onza rim 'cause the Trialtech just wouldn't play nice with my rear brake and needs constant retruing . The new XT vees with cheapo clear pads are ridiculous , an inexpensive upgrade but makes a huge difference.
  21. Love 'em (on the rear wheel aswell) and the LX arms were just fine too . Sometimes the V posts on frames are the screw in type and have spanner flats on 'em , ensure they're tightly screwed into the frame !
  22. And vice versa , a lot of competition dabs are attributable to maneuvering between the actual obstacles .
  23. Nice to see newer riders helping eachother out - this is how the scene grows Superb chain wrap in that pic Tioz , no way that's slipping .
  24. Hmmm , what actually changes here - is this just normal pad wear and the cable settling or is it a radically different feel / effectiveness ? As to the actual hardware , the SD7s are highly regarded but certainly don't discount Shimano. The XT or even LX arms are superb .
  25. First time I've ever been filmed , during a nice casual session this afternoon .
