  2. lol, he is world no1........at dabbing he does well because he is really fit and can race around the easy bits so he has time to dab the hard bits.....still, he has skills.

    Weight

    my 26" weighs roughly 25.5lbs.....its going on a serious diet when I get my new ashton though!
  4. amount of material changes from pad to pad, just thought I would add that. (they are all hand made by me, its very hard to get consistant thicknesses)

    What Rider?

    I like to watch akkers, vince, nicky G unit, feeelix, kenny beleay, stan shaw, martyn ashton and danny mac, they all gimme the urge to ride.
  6. unless you crash straight into the backside of the landing, an ashton would hold up fine on dirt
  7. been riding nearly every day. dont like riding in the dark though, roll on summer
  8. I was at tartybikes last week and we put some on a t pro, with smooth rims.... it was sooo LOUD, sounded and felt like it had tar, I was really impressed.

  11. worst riding frame ever? to me...yes, but other people for some reason like them, so whatever floats your bat really. They are nice looking frames though.
  12. I have had two people say that their joypads wore down quick, it seems pretty random, perhaps the pads you got were from a block of rubber that was 100% mixed right (I dont mix them btw). Most people have been happy with the wear rate, I would like to keep customers happy, so if you want Kris, I'll do you a free replacment pair as I am not satisfied with how long your pads lasted.
  13. scotty had as nice style as anyone I have seen in that short vid, cant see anything bad stylewise
  14. I liked that fast car, very nice looking.
  15. were there any good adverts? I watched the first two lines but thought they were crap, I never seem to like american adverts.
  16. same sorta thing happened when my bikes got stolen from my house, my monty got nicked and a few days later someone I knew came over to show off his brand new monty he just bought off someone for £80, it was miiiine! I bought it back for £24....he then went back to the guy who he bought my monty off and asked if he had anything else...he managed to get a brisa frame that was nicked too....but unfortunatly not my orange patriot. ploice did sod all, we had the name, addresse of the guy selling stolen goods, but the police just send him a letter asking him to go to the police station (he didnt bother going) I am glad Lee got his bike back though
  17. I normally stick the pin in the middle hole on any vee (unless there really too much or too little tension there) theres usually enough adjustment on the brake to get the correct spring tension from the middle hole. how much tension you want is a personal thing, I have my rear vee with as little tension as possible, it makes the brake smoother and easier to pull. What I normally do is wind off the tension untill the lever starts to have slack, I then wind the tension back up untilthe slack is only just taken up, that gives you the least spring tension possible.
  18. bb is too high and theres too much gold, but nice otherwise.
  19. they are really good actually, amazing value for money and have never had a bad review.
  20. used to aaaalllways wear gloves, but I ripped mine a few months ago and didnt bothre replacing them, but I got some more the other day and they are brill, much nicer than without gloves.
  21. its just like spinning, 0 is just straight, 90 is 90, 180 is 180 etc so 135 would be a bigger curve than 90 and give more friction
  22. secret quarrys worth a ride, I wont tell you where it is though as its a secret!!! otherwise blackstone edge, porthcawl, lake ogwin, shipley glen, burnley, manchester all get my vote.
