shame they wernt high heels or ice boots though

beast sidehops Bessel! Looks like stan handles the bike like a man too! Let me know next time you go and I'll come, I havn't ridden with your for an age!

I disagree! I think the adamant with the same stem as on the echo would be much harder to bunnyhop! my tips for better bunnyhops: 1) higher stem 2) shorter stem 3) more backsweep on bars 4) more body English That will make them easier, but your still not going anywhere if you don't put in the effort.

no

give the man a prize! Best tyre I have ever had!

hmm, mine is wire bead, but I beleive the production versions are kevlar however if it has the same sidewalls as mine, tyre fold WONT be a problem!

you'll come around

you are correct untill 2009, then you will think differently!

were the best

blackstone edge is possibly my choice for the best or maybe Lee Mill Quarry aswell

Dob frames burn very well!! I tried

I love cats! Mine is nearly 20 years old, I have had it since I was 5! Its well and truly part of the family. It needs feeding twice a day, otherwise it just sleeps all day. It craps outside and sleeps on my bed ever night

whats the point?? How about to improve your riding? To have fun? All the other reasons why we ride bikes? Thats one of the most single minded questions I have heard!

I am definately not hibernating! I am gyming during the week with rock climbing and trials on the side. I then ride trials on the weekend whatever the weather.

some big stuff in there! That rail drop in burnley is one I have wanted to do for a while but never dared!

A small Koxx Mixx would be perfect, its pretty much what you have described and exactly how I have built mine! I have put 95-140mm pikes on with 20mm axle so I can bomb it off drops yet wind it down and hit the dirt jumps/4x and xc. The small frame is perfect for everything as well plus it has sliding dropouts to customize the feel.

yeah, been doing climbing a bit, its very fun

I wen't all the way to Matlock and there was no one there Didn't really, went to shipley glen instead because its ace! Hope Brum was good!

bit far

yeah cheers, done a bit of it, the membership I have gives me free acess to the gym, swimmingpool, spa and sauna. I went swimming last week, I didn't give my arms long enough to recover though I think, I am normally a strong swimmer, but I struggled that night Went riding today, my arms were a bit jelly-like from yesterday still, but I do feel like its making a small difference.

I am surprised how many people like R&b, dance and stuff, personally I can't stand it Radiohead, Blur, Coldplay, Muse and Queen is where its all at for me. all you need ever! My fave album at the mo.

Dani Had one of the beeest styles on stock ever! I think he looks gash on mod!

update: Went to the gym tonight (knackered!) the nice lady there (with the most annoying voice you have ever heard.....seriously!) is to make me out a program. I told her my exact needs and told her to check out trials videos on youtube. She will take a look over the weekend and hopefully comeback with something useful. I'll post it up when I get it for you guys to see.

the one I bent was a pre-production one.....the newer ones are made from a tougher Ti, I have tanked mine (ask iolo) and its only got a tiny tweak.

cheers for the help guys. I feel my fitness is more than good enough at the moment, well, good enough for trials sections. So I want to concentrate more on just getting power to make the heights and gaps needed.
