I am hoping to get some land and start making a course, but I am gonna need help off companies and maybe try and get some more sponsorship. I am wanting to put together a portfolio featuring videos of man made courses, be it the uci worlds or just your back garden. I dont want street vids as that might make people like my council (who I am going to talk to) think I am a vandal. Thanks in advance (hey, that almost rhyms!) also take a look in the pics area for my plee to get pics of courses as well

good stuff Peter nice to see some shots and show people what it was like. see you soon

frames take roughly half an hour to do it in pencil and maybe another 20 to do it again in pen. full bikes take hours.

I reccomend sdg i beam seat and post! they are really good! the seat weighs 120g! and doesnt have weak rails to bend.

its a 24", so 10 might be a bit low, but if I was to draw it again I could be tempted by 15 or 20mm rise instead.

more pics from my computer, all my other drawings would need to be scanned (would take days!) one pete wright asked me to draw for him (2 angles) Quite a few were ones I was drawing when asking orange for sponsorship, hence the big fat downtubes and whacky swingarm style rears.

3 of my quite large collection of frame drawings

I like a bike that fits, for me my 1055 ashton seems really good, but people are all different, so frames will fit different people. I had a 1080 control and it was obvious to me that it was too big, but to some people it will be just right. Another problem is that people dont realise that frames can actually "fit" them! they just think they need a super long frame because lots of other people use them, frames shouldnt be one size fits all, you dont do it with clothes, so why do it with bikes? Anyway, when you do find a frame that actually fits, everything becomes nicer, street, bmx, natural everything is possible and you will have a huge smile on your face, I am enjoying riding more than I have ever done at the mo.

errrmmm..........NO! please say your being sarky have you ever ridden natural? doesnt sound like it. street is waaaay more repetative than natural, a 45" wall is just like any other 45" wall. But I challenge you to find me two big rocks exactly the same.

I dont think its that bad looking, infact, I think its a lot better looking than a lot of bikes, but I think its like marmite, you either like it or hate it. and dont diss the bash its an awesome peice of work Matt, I never really liked hope stuff before, but the nwer stuff (hubs etc) are mintybobs!

give me a nice big pile of rocks and I will be happy riding it for months
