Really awesome and definitely tickles my fancy. Super smooth riding style with bmx moves mixed in with the trialsy stuff. Pretty much what I 'attempt' with my own approach to riding as I hold it in the highest esteem. With regards to the editing/filming - very tidy cutting/transitions and, I think, probably the best choice of music so far in terms of correlating with the flow of the riding. The first tune especially seemed to dance around with the riding events/actions very precisely beyond the way it also fitted more generally in its overall feel with the riding style. There really is a deficit with 24" videos and it's a real shame so good stuff and keep 'em coming I'm definitely going to start filming my vid this week now after seeing that

What time and where is everybody meeting? I had a very brief scan over the topic but didn't see this info.

Yeah you all suck. The Met forecasts no rainfall this weekend...

Agreed! Awesome stuff as usual, Dan.

Planet-X, 90mm stem maybe at something silly like 40 degrees with 3" riser bars and about 1-1.5" stem stackers. It's pretty high. Anyway, I think I should probably just wait until a 26" rears its head so I can try one out. Cheers for info though

I arch my back on the 24". I saw just how badly when I filmed myself a few weeks ago and I usually have an aching back after riding. Altho, I guess the 26" isn't going to really create a significant amount more reach so I can straighten out my back?

iNSPIRED BOOBIES. Why has this significance not yet been mentioned? Anyway, I'm definitely thinking about a 26" inspired. I feel, and certainly look, a bit cramped on on the 24". I'd love to be able to retain a bmx feel on a 26".

Editing isn't primarily about effects; although they can be useful/enjoyable. Really it's about the way in which you organise your film into a 'narrative' of some sort or, moreso with trials videos, the manner with which you correlate a music track with the riding and connect each scene. 'Good' editing, in my opinion, makes a video much more enjoyable because of the consonance, rather than dissonance, between the differing parts that compose it. No doubt bad filming will bottleneck any end result regardless of the quality of editing but the same is true in the other direction.

I shall be in attendence.

I went out for a few hours with another local, Nige but obviously we missed you... A shame because I was well up for a longer ride that day

Is anyone actually coming?

So what time and where tomorrow then, chaps?

I accept Sunday instead

I don't know who you are but with a nickname like that, I think it's best you stay away from me. Sorry but not really sorry.

Weather is set to be good so is anybody interested in riding Bristol on Saturday? Bristol rides seem to be going well at the moment, so do it

I suspended my studies for the year and had to return to Swindon because of a withdrawal of funding. I'm back now though, so if you're up for riding again let me know... Good to know. Likewise, you chaps can call me on 07796 563952 if you feel like riding. Until October I have a great deal of time for riding so gimme a shout whenever.

Make sure you post up here again when you go again. I will be able to join next time.

Even as a minor I believe you are entitled to doctor-patient confidentiality. So an abortion is something you can do without your parents finding out. If you and your lady friend do decide to have an abortion make sure you're ready to support her afterward for the next week or so. My ex, for the duration of the rest of our relationship, never really got over hers. Understandably, it's not a pleasant experience both physically and mentally. You may also need to travel somewhere aside from the town or city where you live because not everywhere has a clinic.

Buggar. Sorry to hear that Jack. I hope you get them back which obviously does happen sometimes.

It's all gone wrong and I can't make the start of the tour. I'm not a happy chappy I guess I'll be about for a rainy Bristol ride.

As the title says, I could really do with it asap, as I have a slight situation to deal with. Cheers in advance.

I can't tell if there is meant to be some degree of joking insincerity to this post? I do appreciate the idea of making the spot choice 24" orientated though. Seems only fair given the fundamentals of the tour. And yeah, if it weren't to be that way then I'd be less inclined to attend. But I guess if 24", or similar style on other bikes, riders are the majority then this seems an inevitability?

Hey Nige, I don't think I'll be able to make it this evening. I had what was probably my longest ride yesterday, since I started up again, and today my muscles are really sore. If I happen to change my mind, I'll give you a shout on your mobile though. Otherwise I'll be around the week after next for regular riding. Cheers
