was a tap actually, bout 47" fook knows how I hit my chin though, but it REALLY hurt! (sidehopped it too )

if you have narrow shoulders, wider bars will be bad rather than good, the wider your arms are arpart, the quicker you get tired (try doing press ups with your arms wide apart and then closer together)

you are impressive in your push bike ability of riding!

good news, found out the shop has an account with custom riders, so I can get stuff for trade price. Still tempted by the wtp, but I'll see how much I can build a bike for.

I prefer the lite by farrrrrrrrrrrr!

funny how the tgs street riders seem to get bored and the natural riders dont......

I want a bike, I have questions

I am REALLY tempted to get a bmx..now I have a job it could be a reality. if I were to get one, I perhaps would have £500 to spend..maybe £700 if I sold my 24". I would be mainly riding park and street (not as much though, dam countryside). I dont know wether to buy a full bike or try and build my own, it could be hard to keep within the budget if I did build my own I think. I have had a WTP primate before, but I never liked riding it, it was too short (cant remember the length) but I feel comming from a 1100 mbk, a lonish bmx would be good. these bikes have interested me.... Fit Flow Park WTP Phoenix pro I like the wtp as its light, I REALLY want a light bike. I am a bit worried I wont like the WTP as i hated my last one, but I guess the geo is different. How big is a 20.6" toptube? (I cant remember what my primate was) cheers

whats wrong with wood? lol if its strong enough to build buildings, bridges, roller coasters, boats, cars, planes, hammer handles out of, they a bar extender should be no problem.

just spent a couple of hours up at the quarry in the freezing cold with Tony Lund and Rowan Sorrell looking at possible places to have trials bits, the plan is to have at least 10 areas, but depending on other things (like time, buget, colliding with other trails and planning permission) there could be more! Theres no shortage of places to have stuff anyway. I took lots of pics, I am going to get a friend to do some artists impressions, I'll post them up when they are done. Tony said a cool thing, we cant have the best dh or xc routs in this country just because other places have bigger mountains or prettier scenery, but theres nothing stopping us having the best trials park in the world! He thinks it would be good to aim to have the best possible!

only experienced one, so that gets my vote!

hi swan!

"who likes short shorts?" I DONT!!! gaaahhhh shorts and shinpads should be banned! especially with shorts that short! my boxxers are bigger anyway, LOVE that vid (thats saying somthing for a mod vid!) no tgs, just bouncy hyper fun, thats why montys are the only nice mods, nice and short and flicky.

VERY good pedals. VERY heavy pedals.

oh my, from one of the worst riding bikes ever, to one of the best!! you wont be disapointed!

he did hit a lot of things though! I laughed lots!! and its hard to make me laugh.

heh heh, I kneed myself in the chin last week, it REALLY hurt!

I turned some wood on a lathe to fit, could do the same with alloy, plastic, carbon, whatever....wide monty bars are lovley.

I agree, drilling it is what I would do.

minty bobs, I'll get some of that.

just thought I would let people know that I am going to the quarry tomorrow to scope out some suitable places and take some pictures for some artist impressions. If anyone wants to join me you are more than welcome! I'll be up there maybe about 1ish hopfully.

I am sure covering it in duct tape will sort out any flying bits...my old one was only really thin, it was more like a metal bag than a solid chamber, you could bend the sides in to touch! that had 4 layers of tape around it, it never failed!

yeah, looking back now its pretty dangerous, was a good laugh though. A metal one should be a lot better! I dont really see the point in buying one, half the fun of them is making it yourself!
