just you wait....just you wait. In related news (by related, I mean I want to comment on your exact comment above which is related quite a lot). I found Vans to be too thin, I could feel the edges of the pedal on my foot, this made my feet cramp a little, but also took away my confidence cos I was scared of jumping off the bike and hurting my feet. Plus the grip is shocking in the wet as my shins would show you.

he would have cleaned up if he was wearing jeans and a tee

mine were like that to begin with, pretty scary at times, but now they are worn to the pedals and allow some movement. I am very tempted by the new Dirtbags Fiveten are making.

smooth, those 3s were so nice!

I use mine (five10 freeriders) for everyday use and I have had them 6-7 months and there is loads of life left in them yet (plus they are simply the grippiest shoe you can get, once worn in though, they become a little easier to get the feet off the pedals)

"I am not that grumpy!" Bonus points for who know who said that.

looking good Sean! Loving your riding and congrats on the helmet!

narr, I find Mark's pair very grippy indeed. the only issue with them is they make a noise similar to a small mammal in pain when spun at the correct speed.

my only issue with DMR pedals is how small they are. the actual platform you stand on is noticeably smaller than any other pedal, plus they are quite thick so they are easier to roll and shin yourself than a thinner pedal is.

the figure of 10-20g rings a bell (dependent on wheel size)

yep, deffo their fault

more than the drunks?

no lol

the point your head Edit: wait, that's too negative........I am afraid old chap you have missed the point. It is an entirely different situation calling on different techniques to traverse down said rock pile.

I do not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it… Voltaire

Odd, I always thought he was missing the fun. To me he always takes it too seriously, going into the meaning of life the universe and everything and how it's connected to his riding. I guess people find fun in different ways (look at TGS riders) and some people are more spiritual than others, just not my cup of tea really.

that video still didn't do anything for me

the bit about the old Ryan on a rigid Norco is actually just what I would like to see again! I loved him in Revoloution and Evolve, to me, that's when Ryan was at his best.

Now I do feel he is a little repetative in what he does, but I think a TGS bike is the last thing he needs. I would love to see him on a bike with nicer geo (think inspired hex) and throwing in some modern bmx/trials moves into some of the tech lines he does. Oh, and no talking over the video either.

that is very light, must feel strange to ride, I would love to try it. my bike is 11.5kg, bit of a difference!

looking good! I do like it when people have the brains and means to make stuff themselves, and it looks like you have both in handfuls!

saw this last week at Inspired HQ, very much like it! Some stuff could have been a little more dialled (like as said, one foot at a time on the ghost ride was a shame) but a lot of that stuff is so technically hard it's impressive he can do it all anyway let alone with a nice style. Cant wait for the next one.

when I see something that makes me happy, I'll let you know That's a point, I havn't replied to Sean Watson's vid yet Edit: here is a non negative clown

I managed to watch about 1 minute of that. He can ride a bike, that's for sure, but he was doing the same old stuff he does in nearly every video I have ever seen of him. I know it was just his rig but there is still scope for new material. Why does he have to talk over every vid he does too? With the same type of music and same irritating voice as ever.
