    10ft Drop

    lol, make a vid to see how far you can gap off it narr, by preload I meant squash into the bike a bit more as you leave the edge, and try to soak it up more if you can, the angle was a bit hard to tell how much you wee doing so.
  2. I am gonna have to put somthing in my sig, "mods within 10 yards of me will have their tyres slashed"

    were you jumping out aswell as down? also preload more and get some arm muscles to hold on better lol
  4. as I hate mods with a passion I am gonna say stock. BUT!! if money is an issue, the mods start at lower prices. That biketrials site is really out of date, I wouldnt base your choice on that. heres how I see it MODS Pros: lighter easier to learn stuff total control of bike stronger wheels (not by much nowerdays though) Cons: look stupid (debatable ) are too easy to ride, you dont learn valuable skills a heavier harder bike will teach. can feel really twitchy to ride cant roll over rough terrain as well. STOCK Pros: looks nicer (well, most of them ) more stable (doesnt feel like an exspensive pogo stick) teaches valuable riding skills roll over stuff easier cons: Takes longer to get good on one mech to brake off (unless you dont run one) wheels are easier to buckle (not by much nowerdays though) heavier I say go stock, you will end up a better rider in the long run, the extra weight will build muscles faster, you will learn not to be relient on a bash plate and if you ever do get a mod in the future, you will be extra good on one.
  5. I feel the opposite I HATE HATE HATE pythons with a passion, they are THE WORST bikes ever. Even if he went and got a barbie bike that would be a huge improvment on a zoo. so good on him, finally getting a decentish bike (only if he gets a stock as well )
  6. the more frames out there, the better for trials in my eyes.
  7. 1) Ashton Justice 2)echo control 3)koxx kenny bealey 4)onza limey 5)onza t rex
  8. I might be a bit biast, but I recken its an ace mod cirtenly one of the better looking in my eyes. I will be honest and say that it could be better speced, but I would rather have the things like vee brakes to maggies, but maybe nicer cranks and rear hub would be nice. never ridden one though, so cant comment on that
  9. I had a 1065 control and loved it, infact I liked it more than my 1085 virsion. I am gonna get an ashton very soon, so only then will I be able to say which is nicer.
  10. errm, I think Iolo was maybe hinting about a different company comming out, maybe begining with "I". How did your frame ride pete? cos to be brutally honest, it really does sound horrid to ride but whatever floats your boat I guess
  11. I would come, but 2 reasons stop me. 1) dont like leeds. 2) too many people are going. Hope you have fun though, be sure to get lots of pics and footage of the police arresting everyone (and maybe some of any riding that gets done)
  12. I build all my wheels, saves time and money
  13. well I hate dogs, one main reason is because of their shit! Bloody stupid owners should clean it up, if they dont want to then they shouldnt have gotten a bloody dog! cats are the best, how many times have you ridden through cat shit?
  14. ohh ohh ohh, me me me mod time 1010 366 72 +40 24" street 1050 380 73 +23 71 seat angle 620 top tube 24" natural 1075 380 72 +30
  15. 1075 71.7 380 +15 and other little details, like horizontal dropouts and a punchcard holder would be cool also, fining uses for spokes in a frame would be cool.
  16. the rosey cheaked hobbit boy is right. kyle is rather the rider, kick ass at taps, I liked the tap photo, it doesnt look like its possible I love machester, some of the best street around I recken. sexcellent
  17. I didnt enjoy that, infact it made me rather upset I WOULD f**kING LOVE A PLACE LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!!! doesnt help having no money, no wearhouse and no obstacles. Also doesnt help with all the land I own is on about a 30 degree hillside, there is only one flat piece of ground near where I am and its a little nature thingy area, not much hope of getting permission there
  18. ribs are ok...what make chineese ribs different? I HATE hot or spicy food, so no curries or anything for me thanks.
  19. thats a pigeon!! narr, seriously...its Iolos fave move another name for a wheel swap
  20. 18-15 for me 16-14 was too easy for my liking. on a bmx I like 30-16 , nice and easy. preissure, hmm....maybe 21psi front and rearish
