bit of a bump! but thanks! still a mint video! Sharn.... I recognize that name... maybe trials-nation? use to have a black pashley? Or am I way off the mark here??

Cheers Mukka! Cheeky git!! lol hopefully my next one will be on a HD cam, and transferred via firewire, not shitty USB! http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/topic/173919-echo-lite/#entry2405421 Thats the bike! needs a bit of money thrown at it. Forks, new rear wheel etc etc Cheers took me ages to get the "into" synced. to find youtube bugger it up! lol

I was hitting the gym 3-4 times a week for about 6-7 months. and I didn't notice an improvement in my riding. Infact I seemed to be getting arm pump sooner. My diet changed too. instead of coke or fizzy drinks. I had at least 3/4 bottles of water. I did take supplements think at 1st I tried maximuscle, which tasted rank (and my farts stunk and general bad guts!!) but I noticed a difference in size of the muscles. Then I tried some PHD, choc chip cookie (very nice) and I didn't notice any change only the £20 difference in price! my diet is high in protein anyways... have chicken most days! That was when I was training for rugby. but I didn't notice a different in that either so I stopped going. My riding has improved, and arm pump is a thing of the past.

Movie maker has been a complete tard and crashed every 30mins. but got there in the end! Let me know peeps!

wish mine was that nice! awe well! fancy a ride one weekend??

Lovely looking bike. But as to the bar angle, if it works for him, awesome. I have tried it but felt too odd......

I have rode stock for 4 years then had a year out, got a mod.that took some getting use to. But after a month or two I got the nac back. Had a quick jump on an echo 24" and if felt really nice, only done a few hops about. Didn't feel too long or odd in any way. Might build on up myself

I have a pair of Ribos and there comfy, I got them off here and they looked brand new, used them every time I ride, they do need replacing as they have got a split but that doesn't really matter much to me.

When I'm at a comp I watch a few riders before hand and see what line they do. Then I always walk the section, to see if there's any little things that could throw me off. There is a time limit' but try taking you time' at your own pace. I do the tykes rounds and I've only ever cleaned a section once, i do the blue and its not nice when a 12 year old beats you if your at the next comp I'll come have crack.

I'll hopefully be there just depends on car hire, I don't have a car to its the only option. I'll bring the missus too if we can both get the weekend off!

I wouldn't trust myself with carbon bars, I think i'm too harsh. Over the past 18 month my riding has progressed. Bigger and a lot smoother. but I feel as though I'm still a fat basher.

995?! Thats a kids bike right? why the heck is it so short? with the bottom bracket being that high wil it not feel odd?! liking the chain tensioners though! way easier than cams

5 door AX init?

good old trials nation! way back when

Forks bent? think either silver or black would suit it! (got some forks if they are bent)

that sound really good, its up my alley anyway! I like the out doorsy side of things. Ill have a look into that! Cheers Mate!

Don't often comment on a vid, but that was by far the bets vid this year?

Ive been there on the ferry before. it was hell! but thats because we went in January! once we were there it was a laugh. didnt really drink too much as it was so expensive. Suppose if I sort thigs out now, can have 2 dos though! Ill have good crack with him at the weekend and see what he thinks. There is about 15 of us going though! thats the thing thats putting me off!

My brother getting married next year, and he's asked me to organize the stag do. I have no idea what to do. Apart from get him drunk and get a stripper?! He wants to go abroad, and kinda settled on Amsterdam. But I just don't want to get there, get drunk, come home. kinda boring to me. I was thinking of doing something closer to home, up in Edinburgh. or some where up there? any good thing to do up there? Or can anyone give me a hand, ideas. past experiences? Cheers LADS :Dx

I've use them for the last 7 years with not one problem.

if someone can pick me up I'm game.......... sucks I scrapped my car today!!

RIGHT! have a odd one here! At work we had an old E reg mk2 golf in for MOT, failed on a few things minor things really, but needed a back calliper and pads. Fitted 2 rear callipers ads the customer had new ones in the boot. Bleeding them was no real heartache, just gravity bled one side, them popped the pressure bleeder on to push any more air out. One side is done. move onto the drivers side, no fluid come out at all! Asks one on the lads to jump in and give me a hand. with his boot on the pedal no fluid come out! Problem!! so the new one came, fitted it all up and bled the brakes again no air in the system at all. jobs a good un..... Gets the car on the ground and the pedals gone. spongy as hell! bleed them again. no air in the system at all. done the fronts just to make sure. SO scratches my head. make sure the everything right.pedals still crap! changed the master cylinder and bled them again. still no pedal! BUT if I clamp the passenger side rear hose off. and pump the brake it gets better!!! any input? Sorry for the long read!

:bow:

get you self to sports direct and get some tennis racket grip. only £2 a role.
