that was a mint video, that drop gap waynio did was actually massive, I'm glad I didnt do it now or my shoulder would have probly died. That were a mint morning considering I didnt have my bike. P.S. i filmed some of that. :lol: quote 'I am Thomas, from Norway' hehehehehehehehehehhahahahahaha lolollololololololololol

7 weeks, not sure when you done it but I inmjured mine and was in plaster for 4 weeks as a precaution. If it turned out to be broken and not just injured would have put me in plaster for minimum of like 10-12 weeks, plus recovery time etc. lucky man in my mind, Link on site aint working for me.

This comment isn't me moaning, but how on earth did you manage to break ur brisa (b26d right?). The biggest move on the video is a 5.5ft drop. I had mine for a year and went mad on it, and I'm not exactly the kindest rider to a bike and mine never broke or creaked etc. Im confused how you broke it. Unless it was second hand, and the old owner f**ked it before u had it. Nicely made though, the vid that is.

the picture of that drop..........that was the smaller of the 2 that he done. Need to stop thinking bout this or I'm gona cry and walk back there.

The picture towards the end of the dude on xtp mod sidehoping up rock with red front rim.....Does anyone have footage of Vincent hermance getting up that on his second lap. It was truely the most amazing, inspiring (sp) thing I have seen in my life.(on a bike). I'll get cracking on with some pictures from during the week soon.

It was a drop off, well more of a free fall actually, And he done a 13foot drop about 5 minutes before the 15footer. As Waynio said, it was the best event a rider could possibly go to. I was there for the week so I feel like shit beoing back at home now. :( Everything about the whole week was amazing. Vincent back wheeling 6+ foot rocks, TRA gapping 10 foot static, getting pissed with Vincent, the yanks and the Hylander etc. Also I raced Benito Ros in the speed trials (that wasnt very fast at all but still good), that was entertaining, we were even 2nd time round until we got to this hook up and before I had turned around for a run up he was on backwheel on top of it, and by the time I was up it, he'd finished the course and was stood next to me watching pretty much. There WAY WAY WAY too much for me to describe. All I can do is hope theres the same next year and you can go yourselfs. P.S. bye to all those that I didnt have time to say bye to on sunday, had to dash off pretty quick. :P

Whats before beginner.

Rude, I got a kenny bike, wonder if the video will be as good as the frame.(doubtful (Y) )

gears for queares, thats what I say, unless you do comps, but even comp riders hardly ever use them.

In have Try-all tyres on try-all rim front and back, nevber had a pinch on the rear, even doing all the rail drop gaps I do and what not(25psi). And the grip is awsome. even when on like 30psi, i've stuck to things maxis havnt. hardly ever rims, depends what sorter rider u are, edge or on top. ! puncher since november and that was a nail.

Mate i'm having concerns about tomorro, mainly concerning money and my batty bottem bracket, duno how tight to do it up so it wont come undone. And i promised myself I would do THE drop gap again once I had my camera back but I'm not feeling it, and I know I'll do something stupid and die just before koxx days, I'll ring you at 12.40ish

I cant wait to see you lot wasted, I'll be half drunk. mainly so I can see you lot actual hammed outa ur skulls. Staying semi sober will also give me a advantage in the comp, as I am definatelky going to need it. :">

I got it after i posted it that(bit slow addmitedly), but remember not everyone knows who 'the_boon' is and there are plenty of people on here who would seriously post something like that.

Might be bearing, if they've got play it would have the same affect as the axel flexing. And if its now silent you've probly got to much grease in the for trials use, if you dont want it to skip.

Yeh, mental ability is what makes trials so hard though. Confidence is most peoples main let down i think, some times mine to. I often find myself getting angry when trying something repeatedly and not making it, also i just end up doing the basica move that i use for lower stuff, not the proper technique. This excact thing happened last night. I was trying to back wheel 8 blue pallets and I couldnt do it. At first I thought to myself ''fair enough it is quite high after all''. But on second thought, I relised its wasnt my strength holding me back, it wasnt entirerly my ability in the move itself, and it wasnt my bike. So I sat there in a daydream thinking about it to myself and thinking about seeing others do it and how the move should be done following the 'textbook' method on how to front touch high. Next attempt i got it straight to back wheel, a little bit of concentration is all it took. Problem was i was just doing what I'd do when front touching 5 pallets. Simple :blink: (doesnt mean a little more thought would enable me do 9 though)

I'll be down on my new steed also. probly be there about 2ish. Sam buy a new lock, the one i got of yours sucks anyway. hahaha

do wednesday or friday, because i dont wana do sat because im getting sorted for koxx days, sunday work

Thats reveiw was pretty unique, how can u tell if they are flexy or stiff by pushing them around with a brake on, where on earth would they flex when not attatch to anything. james porter would get through them quicker than anyone i think. Even quicker than the rims i reckon. his urbans hav out laster anything else he's had i think

Jesus, u lot have more gay tendencies than my mates, and there the quierest straight foke i know. And.......I got my camera back, re-f**king-sult is all i have to say. thort u mite wana know

hehehe, now we know why occasionally Sam voice raises in pitch so only dogs can hear him. hehe just jokin.

bedding in and using it for a while are a completely different kettle of fish, ur supposed to drag it for a bit, then dous(sp) it in water(a few times over) this clears the coating/top layer off the pads. In all honesty any disc brake thats set up write and bed in proply will work ok, some obviously have more power than others. Lastly if its rubbing then it will always be warm therefor f**king the pads.(hense why downhill discs have holes in the rotor to cool them down as they work wank when hot)

Sorry mate but this topic seems like a bit of a waste of time. The only thing likely to ever be wrong with a fixed hub is the price. lol
