    Sidehops.

    your all freaks!! saying that though, I spent the first 3 years of riding doing them to the right (I am right foot forward) One day I just started doing them the other way and it eas muuuuch nicer
  3. power is not everything look at chris boyes (sp?) he has no power at all, but plenty of technique and he kicks ass at comps and riding in general. Of course the perfect combo is power and technique. but if I were to choose one, I would go for technique anyday.
  4. I dont think they have as thick sidewalls as they say, when I slipt my rim you could see the actual thickness, and it was thick at all (less than my old dx32)

    Bmx Questions

    can people reccomend me a good hub, prefrebly cassette, but I could plonk an acs on a threaded hub. requirements 1) cheap as poss (but willing to splash out if its worth it) 2) needs to use actual cogs, non of this single peice super small 9,10,11 teeth drivers please 3) needs to be as light as poss 4) 14mm axle preffered I was thinking of an odyssey hazzard cassette or maybe even a proper magatanium thingy (sometimes on ebay for cheepish) but I aint sure if you can use bigger cogs on those. cheers
  6. 17..call that waiting!!! 22 years now never even had a kiss let alone a shag. sex is for adults, not teeny boppers
  7. go on to iolobikes.com and download his vid (if its up yet, if not, search for it in the vids section) he is the best at wheelswaps (or pigeons if your from here), he can do them sooooooo big, probably bigger than vince!! he can do bleeding handrails next to roads for gods sake!! errmm, well, just watch him and learn.
  8. I dont have any gripes about the trial, I apreciate all the effort that went in to make it happen and I dont think £20 is bad at all. I would still enter if it was £40. the trophies were classy rather than big, any chance of both next time (not that I'll be getting another lol)
  9. Ali C says get one, if you dont I will be sad
  10. heinz tinned macarroni cheese , now thats discusting!!! it smelled just like cat food, and tasted even worse!
  11. I think they are horrible, so I wont be signing anything
  12. its a pogo stick because if you get that thing all you will ever be doing is back hopping everywhere, you may as well take the front wheel off as it will be just added weight. seriously though, that geo is just AWEFULL!! you wont be able to gap, it will be too good on the back wheel (yes, TOO good!!) and your body postition if you ever have the front wheel on the floor will be like superman flying, farrrrr too streched. the bt raven is much nicer to ride, but there is another frame thats even nicer!!
  13. I loved it, I REALLY like kelly farm, I always have so much fun there. I thought the sections were cool, the red rout looked a little easy, but I thought the yellow was just right. I have a pretty crap first lap and dropped 23 (4 fives!!) but my secong lap was better and I dropped 9 for a totoal of 32. That was good enough for me to get third (to my amazment) and I beat Akkers!!! WHOOOOO BABY I have always wanted to beat him!! shame the trohpys are so small though doesnt really represent how much of an acheivment it was for me.
  14. why why why why why would ANYONE want a ninja???? if you want a pogostick I am sure argos sell some cheaper ones
  15. I like anything radiohead, coldplay, super furry animals, supergrass, blur, the flaming lips, muse etc

    Hope Factory

    yeah it was my falt the bearing went, I was hammering a cassette cog from the otherside of the wheel and the freehub came off, when I put it back on I didnt get the lip seal in place and the freehub wasnt al the way in, meaning the bearing wasnt where it was meant to be. oh yeah, I wouldnt go running there expecting free service, I took money with me as I thought I might have to pay, but they let me off.

    Hope Factory

    I LIKE hope!! went there today, they wern't officially open but they bent over backwards to help me out, they were buisy with other stuff but put that aside and fixed my hub! Well actually, they didnt fix it, they just replaced everything except the shell!! I cant praise them enough!!
  18. I have vids tooooooooo bases crack if you dont use a proper seat tube, but are good cheap frames.......BUT if you want a nicer riding frame, then the ashton is the one to go for!

    aparrently (thanks to Ash for finding out) there will be someone in tomorrow, so I am going to pop over. Cheers for the info though, if it doesnt go right I'll pop martyn an email. the hub still works though (its got another 4 bearings working away) but its never gonna be good for it really

    my falt for not putting the hub back together right , but even with bits of bearing in the system and sounding like an anglegrinder attacking a rat it still didnt skip.

    Hope Factory

    hey guys, I NEED to know if hope is open tomorrw (good friday), a bearing has blown in my hub and blasted shrapnel all in my pawls and ratchet causeing all kinds of greif! I am setting off to devon on sat for the british champ round 2 and neew to get the parts replaced. I am about 20 mins away from the factory, so its no bother driving there. cheers guys
  22. my parents are very supportave, my mum took me to trials and would observe for years, my dad doesnt like all the hanging around at comp stuff, but he will drive me places and always asks me how I did at comps and how I could do better next time.
  23. looks harsh, hows the frame done? I recken it will be fine, they are tuff as houses! what chain was it? it wasnt a cirten chain that you got given was it? all I know is I like my kmc chains. (ps, the ashton team bikes have a gold hope theme, thats why mine and porters bikes have bling bling gold whatsits)
