Righty, im getting a wee bit annoyed with this. I've just moved my computer to my dads, and im trying to get it onto the network. I boshed the card in yesterday, and it worked, happiness. I come to turn it on this morning, and for some reason it doesnt work, the internet is on for the other computer, but not mine. So i checked to see the card was still in properly, turned the pc back on, and nothing. The monitor wont come on. So i take the network card out, boot it up, and wahey, the monitor works. Bosh the network card in, and again, no monitor. So i guess its something wrong with the network card, can i do anything to get it to work, or do i need a new one?

No one else interested?

Get the bars. I recon t-mags are a more streety bike, and should have high bars.

You have the same shoes as me! Nice lil video, it reminded me of the good old days when i was learning :P Some good riding for only a year, keep watching vids to try and improve your techniques :shifty:

He did the jump to try and break his highest air record on the quarter pipe, i think it was 23,5ft, im not sure if he broke it?

Think mine is around 35" with 15mm of spacers, i like, but it makes manuals a bit difficult.

Me n Ricky (rickycoleman) are heading to brighton next saturday, if there are any other riders who want to meet up with us. Gunna be at brighton station at around 1 i think, providing all trains are running well. Also, anyone know what sort of direction we wanna go for some good riding, thinking of just heading along the seafront to the right as you come from the station.....

I want. Theyre lovely, and those dropouts are pretty cool. Are ti's reputably weak? He has square holes in his rims woo. Benito styleeee.

If you can even call it injured.... Lmao, mummy my ankle hurtssssss.

I love the monkey and his wonderful views, pretty much the only guy who makes me laugh out loud with nearly all his posts, he can run my country :S

Yeah, i was trying to describe trials to someone, and they said "Oh, so like ballet on bikes". Like foamoi, i agree its more like art than sport, but much more fun than art.

Echo team stays are 362ish, and people love riding them, so it cant be a bad length.

'Cos otherwise T-f would hate you?

I get you, but then, there is a reason people buy pimp bits, because they are generally the best. If i had money left over from building a bike, and i had to choose a rear hub, then i would go for a king. Purely because, its the best out there, and i had nothing else to spend cash on. Now if you have other things to spend money on, then its a different story.

I think ive had like 1/ maybe 2. But i was running literally about 5 psi before, and i didnt get a pinch even though i rimmed out everytime i did anything. Great tyres.

Kings have 108 effective engagements due to gear ratio, where as a profile has 72 effective. As long as you bed in the King properly, then im willing to bet its better than a profile.

Yeah, seagulls are bastards. Only good thing is that there are nice rocks nearby. The only time in the vid i do it, its from an easier bit, i wanna go back and do it from the top thing!

I wouldnt buy anything off x-street even if i could physically see the shop infront of me, they are wank! Going on 4 months waiting for forks, nice one. Oh i forgot, you are allowed to say 3 days, when it means 3 years.

This by any chance....? B)"

I know what you mean, for example, many spanish monty riders just explode and fly upwards. Im tempted to go with the "all technique" approach, as they waste less energy doing it wrong, they can transfer it all into force.....

Hah, i think i may have broken a bone in my hand, but then again, it could be fine. Ive done it loads before, just this time i got scared by a car, so didnt really comit. Gotta love the helmet (Y)

£1.6k for full build, at a guess. Bloody expensive, but very nice. I want.

It was alright, but that sidehop was huuuuuuuge, >_<

Pads:Heatsink Konigs Time used: 1 week Rim used: Onza 20" david Grind: Yes - dead Ceramic: No Brake used: Magura What is your opinion of a working brake: Locks and doesnt slip when im riding, unless its on the very edge of a sloped wall, or something similar. I love bite too. How do they compare to previous pads you have used: Better than koxx yellows. On par with koxx reds, maybe slightly better bite. Review: Bashed them on an bugger me, amazing. Didnt even really need to bed in, the could not slip. Best pads i had ever used, they had a lovely honk, and were just perfect. One week later, and i didnt particularly want to be running on the lovely power pad backings, so i had to purchase...... Pads: Koxx Reds Time used: 2 weeks Rim used: Onza 20" david Grind: Yes - dead Ceramic: No Brake used: Magura What is your opinion of a working brake: Locks and doesnt slip when im riding, unless its on the very edge of a sloped wall, or something similar. I love bite too. How do they compare to previous pads you have used: Better than the softer yellows, for some crazy reason. Review: Woop woop, i didnt even have to let them bed in, again. Yet still they are great, i cannot fault them. Almost as good bite as konigs, pretty much the same lock. They've let me down once, but it was a pretty steep rock, and my grind is practically gone. The honk is also quiet reassuring, and i cant see any signs of them wearing. At a guess, id say ill get a good 9 months or so out of them.

Street is fun, it doesnt require that extra "hmm, but is that rock too slanted to be safe". But lately, with some crazy bloke hunting me down, i cant ride street on pain of death, so im gunna ride natural, it's great fun, challenging, and a lot more versatile. I also find theres a lot more to learn on natural.
