  1. yeah, thanks to everyone involved in the running of the event and putting up with my late entry. The sections were on the easy side which meant any mistakes were punished. That proved true with my first section where I got a five! Although in my defence I have got man flue and wanted to just go to bed the whole day (sorry if I wasn't very sociable). Well done to Joe Oakley for the Elite 26" win. now off to bed again (had to get up to watch top gear)
  2. there are travel programs for travel related things though? Kidding, I get what you mean.
  3. Sorry, I didn't mean that to come out as every ones opinion I have respect for the riders and indeed it takes a lot of skill and determination....but bloody hell its boring to watch!!
  4. I used to ride everyday without fail, but right now I am riding once a week or once every other week because I just get frustrated with my bike or my riding and end up having a tantrum.
  5. I once made a myspace account, but I found it sooooo stupidly pointless I never went back on. I have a facebook account, I go on it maybe once a week for 10 mins but other than that I just don't get the point. and as for Twitter? The day I get a Twitter account is the day I throw myself in front of a car
  6. in the 11 years I have been riding, the Hifi was the worst trials specific frame I have had.
  7. I still think its possibly the ugliest frame produced. Still love you Joe!
  8. I have ridden there too, the concrete sea defences are amazing! Also very scary too!
  9. noooo leave the spacer on, they ride loads better with it there!
  10. But worse for almost everything else
  11. even if there is paperwork with the council about the money for my wage?
  12. Evening Gents I possibly should ask this in the RSQ thread, but I wanted straight answers rather than trawling trying to find them. Some may know I helped at Lee Quarry with getting some trials areas made, I spent a few days designing, taking photos and getting my hands dirty at the quarry. I never actually negotiated a set pay but was always promised a wage at the end. Its been over a year since I did the work and I have still not seen a penny! I have sent dozens of emails and left messages on the company's phone with not a single reply. I was going to be employed by another contracted firm at the quarry for 3 days at the rate of £150 per day, so that is the rate I asked for in my emails, the total came to £1050 all together. I have since been told that they charged the council £250 per day to cove my wage! I want to know how the small claims court works? Is this a valid case? I think I have been MORE than nice about it up to now, but I cant sit back any longer knowing I am owed a heap of money. What would you do?
  13. Haha, cheers for the big up Ads! It was an ace weekend!
  14. put them upright and in a bed shape, pop a matress on top and tadaa, a lightweight but breathable bed frame. If you want to go posh, make a four poster bed!
  15. nice pics! I never noticed you taking them, you must have been stealthy! I really enjoyed the comp, even if it was the fastest I have ever done one! It was a bit easy, but I am glad seeing as I had ridden an XC race moments before it! Plus if would have been much harder in the rain!
  16. sending my entry off tomorrow using the money I found in some old jeans
  17. I have never personally got that to work though, my headset always ends up getting gradually loser.
  18. I have a proto one on my bike and they are petty dam pimp!
  19. The SLs are perfectly fine in disc only, it was just the 4-Bolt mount that caused them to break, we have stopped selling the 4-Bolt model now and have had no returns on the disc only. We do have the 09 Urbans in stock: http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=40 (New dropouts, disc mount and anodised finish for the black forks)
  20. I ride 90% natural and 10% street
  21. my Koxx Mixx! Its PERFECT for the job!
