Ben's crash!!

that was Adam Moorewood, that kid has some serious skills! The event was a great success I think, the atmosphere was great, riders seemed to be feeding off each other which is great to see. The weather sucked but I didn't care and neither did all the people who came and had a go themselves, or watched, thanks for coming along! The course itself was pretty nuts, everything was pretty big, I am surprised health and safety let Redbull use the location, but I am glad they did! As Mark said, the level of riding by the people riding the Inspireds was very high! Martyn said that he felt a bit un-needed as everyone was already pretty good. It was nuts seeing the progression throughout the night too. More next year?

Yeah LOYD! Sweet vid, certainly brings back lots of good memories of a beast of a trip! Even if you were not on the trip, it should show all the good banter that went on as well as some cool riding.

its always best to grind with the tyre on, if you take it off, you'll cover your rim in tyre gunk and ruin the grind.

clutch at them some more why don't you

we should go climb (well, boulder) sometime

was interesting watching him on freecaster recently, he'll go far if he doesn't keep on falling off in comps, but that's the way the cooky crumbles if you are pushing yourself. Shame he has to ride that fugly bike though.

"real" cousts look different because they are sanded (or similar) on all sides which gives a different shape and texture to Steve's. Performance-wise, that could be down to the backings, how tall the pads are, what shape the pads are, rim grinds, brake set-up. The people who say one works better than the other are probably the same people who don't like TNN pads, I am suspicious of these people.

whatever, lets just keep the comments be about Jamie's vid

nice riding Jamie, always sweet to see someone mixing it up Ross, does every one of your posts have to be provocative?

mine didn't

"Catch me if you can" I really like that film, even more so because it's based on a true story.

what did he die from?

Yeah, I remember hearing about this ages ago, I never thought it would become a reality, especially after some of the trouble they have had recently. Looks likethey have done a lot too, I wonder where Koxx days will be held in the future

bought myself some second hand 5-10 shoes the other day, MUCH better than my dads 30 year old shoes that I have been using, and fit better too. I really want to go climbing (well, bouldering mostly) but I am not sure if my foot is up for it yet.

Sweet gaps Neil!

or you can do them properly and not touch the brake

VERY Euro

nope

Duncan is so stylish, Ross is all man and Ricky has been practising? Sweet stuff, looks like some nice places to ride too

+ 3, I want these guys there!

more better

Hope Pro 2, this should be on your bike

the Premier has some of the best geo of any bike I have use for pure trials. the chainstays are a good length (380mm), bb hight is perfect (+30mm) and the wheelbase not too long (1080). Add that with nice simple design and replaceable dropouts and I am surprised I never saw more of them around.

your bike setup sounds like the most anti-bunnyhop setup I have heard of. If you don't want to buy new stuff (like a shorter higher stem and higher bars) then the first thing I would be doing is tilting the bars back. If you don't want to do that then you are going to have to admit that that will be hard to bunnyhop.
