  1. I think its an advantage to learn on a short frame, you learn how body movement effects the bike a bit quicker and it hones your allround skills rather than just hopping. I had a monty 231 stock at 1030, - 20, 390 chainstays, that was one of the most fun bikes I have had.
  2. Man, this dry period is never gonna end! Does that count as girl trouble?
  3. I wish I was better organized, and tidier
  4. I was on holiday once when my house was broken into and all my bikes, electronics and jewelery throughout the house was stolen. A couple ofdays later, someone who rode a bit of trials who I had met once or twice wanted to come and ride and show off his new bike that he had bought for £80.....It was my Monty 221! He knew the guy he had bought it off, so he went round to his house to ask if he had anything else for sale. He sold him my Brisa B26D frame for £5! We phoned the police, gave the guys name, address and phone number and they said they would sort it out. They went around but he wasn't in, just his grilfriend, so they told her to tell him to go to the police station the next day! Nice of them to give him a chance to get rid of my stuff and no prizes for guessing he never went to the police station. I am still pissed off, nothing ever happened, no arrests or anything. I wish I had gone around to his house and met him face to face, but it was about 5-6 years ago now.
  5. I would also be a cat, or maybe a cat and chipmunk combined.
  6. I sometimes get bored riding street on my own, but never natural!

    Chains

    I have never snapped a Trialtech Lite chain
  8. no music for me either, but when I am off the bike I love Blur, Fleet Foxes, Radiohead, Coldplay...if its slow and depressing, I'll probably like it
  9. coust pads Great bite, but I found it didn't have much hold when I rode his bike, it made me fail stuff I would normally make with my brake.
  10. TribalZone don't sell anything, so they are not making any money by posting links like these. I love TribalZone, its crazy the amount of info they get on there!
  11. I don't get impressed easily, but I have ridden with Jack a few times and he impresses me loads! He is very big for his age which he takes full advantage of, he will go far if he carries on at this rate!
  12. I found when I made the pads that they worked better on vee brakes than maggies, I feel they lack hold with a maggie, but they possibly have the best bite of any pad made.
  13. looking good both of you! I LOVE Heysham! Looks like you rinsed it pretty good. Hows the front maggie holding up?
  14. jealous much? Good snaps, was it a comp or are the markers just left over? I am presuming the 2nd. Looks like I am going to have to put in some serious training to catch Stan up!
  15. looking good! Tell Gav he is looking too emo! Its that black straightened hair! Some new riding objects too I see, can't wait to try them.

    Dreams...

    I often have dreams that I am going to an important event (trials comp, birthday party etc) The whole dream will be me getting ready for the event but with things going wrong. I'll often have to run in my dreams, but its like I am running through water, I end up going 1mph....its so frustrating! Sometimes I'll dream about a trials comp, but I never actually see any riding. Its usually me getting to the comp and forgeting my bike, or a wheel then I spend the entire comp searching for it. When I find what I am after the comp has finished and I have to go home. I have never really had nightmares in the traditional sense, but there was this one dream that would repeat itself. It would be a white world....just white for infinity! Nothing there at all. Then lines and shapes would start shooting around. They would get faster and faster, then more and more of them, then an arrow shape bigger than you could ever imagine, it was almost infinite in size would just smash into the ground.......Thats when I would wake up, covered in sweat with a feeling somthing REALLY bad had happened, like I had murdered someone. It was the worst feeling in the world. It would take me a couple of mins to realise nothing had happened, but it was still shocking.
  17. thats wrong, plus he is only 21! Join the que of other lads the same age who have never gotted laid!

    Animal Rights

    my auntie and uncle keep sheep to eat....they are a small flock, about 10 sheep and they have acres and acres of land to have fun in. They seem rather happy. I LOVE meat! My fave is pork. Its natural for humans to eat meat, Chimps eat meat too. the people who get clogged hearts are just the people who eat too much saturated fat and don't exercise. If you eat a nice lean bit of meat or white meat like chicken or fish then its very good for you, especially combined with veg and exercise (which you will have the energy to do from the protene in the meat).
  20. won't be healed in time for Barca unfortunately
  21. Glad your liking it Tom! I couldn't get you off mine in Belgium. It looks like you have gotten used to big wheels very well too! Those are some good moves! We need to ride together, shame your a southern pixie so far away
  22. got my leg in a cast from a torn ligament
