  1. Me and Ali are both coming Stan on Ali's account Ali's a basher!
  2. Only about 43", my sidehops are rubbish after 10 weeks off the bike, been trying to get the tuck though
  3. REALLY good pics adam! Stan was a beast and dans hooks were spot on! That tuck on the sidehop is funny, its only around 43", my sidehops are rubish now lol!
  4. did he break your foot wayne? Was it painful? I agree that Si is great, when I ripped the ligament in my ankle he was straight on the case and had me in a cast, great stuff! You are going to get REALLY frustrated! I amonly just back on my bike after around 10weeks off! It was worth it though as my ankle feels as good as newnow!
  5. not a specific dh course,but xc routs with red/black graded steeps and jumps.
  6. YES! As for camping, I dont think they will be activly advertising at the quarry, but I am sure that wont stop people from doing it anyway (they do it now). I agree though, camping up there would be awesome. There are campsites within riding distance anyway.
  7. Slate type stuff, the whole quarry is a fossilised river bed, so the rock is sedimentary and can be made into flat sheets like slate. *interesting fact! rock from this quarry is used in Trafalgar Square.
  8. if you select "send a quote" instead of the normal checkout then it will automaticly take VAT off, we check the quotes throughout the day and respond asap! I use Wiggle and CRC a lot for non trialsy stuff.
  9. get someone to weld (tack) a bolt or nut on and then just undo with a spanner. Thats a last resort anyways.
  10. you think I would put down a surface that wouldn't be good for riding on? Wooden sleepers are for cheapskates, concrete is where its at
  11. sand would just be the bottom layer, then there would be gravel/grit/rock whatever and hard packed. Kinda like a canal towpath I imagine.
  12. Not sure what drainage will be possible down there, the floor is solid rock. We'll either make a barrier or put down gravle/sand flooring. might even put rocks in the wettest parts for runups. Either way, its never as wet as it is in the pic! its been REALLY wet up here.
  13. just bumping the topic really. I am in the process of designing each area to calculate how much stuff we'll need. Heres a nice pic of the "pit" part of the quarry, its a bit wet in this pic, going to have some awesome rocks and tubes in the pond and tons more on the rock floor behind it. The pit if bigger than it looks! the rocks down there are all van size.

  15. crysis was too short and too easy, but I love the gameplay and graphics (shooting trees down is awesome) Far cry still stands as the best game I ever owned!
  16. they are a + 30 mount meaning you'll need a 160 caliper and a 190 rotor
  17. I find a nice pair of branded shorts makes you look like vince, gilles and co.

    dont have a tv and dont listen to the radio or read papers. I am in my own little world!
  20. the hub doesnt have a conventional axle, it only has two end caps that support the bearing, when you do up your quick release that acts as the axle. Its a weight saving design. if you put bolts in, the wheel would wobble all over the shop in your forks (plus the end caps would just spin with the bolt as you tightened it.
  21. not without making a custom axle
  22. built one for a customer at tartybikes the other day, had a quick spin to make sure it was working right and it felt pretty good, from looking and riding them I wouldnt change anything unless they broke. they are pretty cool little bikes.
