I have had a few, but I mostly got away unharmed 1st riding on some local rocks, went to drop one foot and my chain snapped, I landed with all my weight with my nuts on my stem, spent a little time in hospital, how embarrasing :( 2nd Riding at tech 04, there was a man made section and one bit we had to gap up to front wheel from a sloped cottol reel up to two stacked on top of each other Thats me actually doing it a few secs before I fell, as you can see my foot is comming off the pedal, I landed on the reels and put my foot down Unfortunatly, I lost my balence to my right, I tried to put my right foot down but it was stuck to the pedal. I fell 6ft onto my back across a curbstone, winded me pretty badly......people said it was the most hardcore crash they ever saw :D 3rd Riding at the bikeshow this year.... I was making my way up the concrete pillars towards one of the highest parts of the course, I went to gap to the back of the trailor but I had arm pump and my brake slipped, I tryed to rescue it with a dab on the thin metal back of the trailor, but my foot slipped off and I fell 10ft ish on to my back. I landed on my backwheel though (completley destroying it!), but it took the edge off, so I didnt hurt myself too badly (bruised my ribs)

I actually like the koxx djin and ashton as they have vee mounts :( otherwise I luuurve the ride of montys

ahh good it arrived then :( look forward to the pics

horizontal dropouts rule, very much like a straight drawing tool!! cheap frames = good in my books, the more people can get into the sport the better.

need you ask lol only the best selection of natual and street ever!!!

would need more than 800 people, the machines to make the rims are millions, so it has to really be worth their time ( which I recken it would :( )

Thats my highest, I think it was around 12ft, but it was big enough to destry my (badly built) wheel.

non of this super high bb malarky!! do yourself a favour and get an Onza Limey or Echo Control

hey folks I have a very unwell camcorder (jvc gr1800 origionally £1200, but got for cheap on ebay 3 years ago)) Its started making a racket, having arguments with premire and likes to eat tapes. I need to take it to get fixed, but I am wanting to know if this is an exspensive thing to do? If it is I will probably get a new camcorder off ebay (for around £160). your answers honour me >_<

I am trials only HATE team sports, its soooo annoying to be playing really well, only to be let down by another player. With trials, its all down to me, and thats the way I like it, aha aha!

I would love: 1090 wheelbase 380 chainstays +20 bb rise 72 headangle combine that with a shortish stem and 2" risers and it would be pretty sweet. actually, it sounds pretty much like an onza Limey >_<

I might have gone too ahh well, next time

mine would be a mountain goat, they are awesome at natural!!

if you go down the video rout, its no good just making the one, showing it to the company, then not making anymore..... You need to persuade them that you will get their company/product known to other people. Making lots of vids is a good way, it worked for Craig and Neil. But their vids are really well know for their riding, its no good trying to get sponsorship with crappy vids. Another way is to enter comps and get some good results, companies are much more likley to sponsor a good rider who sometimes gets media coverage in mags due to comp results. You also have to be really well behaved, no company would want to sponsor a dick, you need to act right, say the right things and so on. To be honest though, unless your an amazing rider for your age, I wouldnt hold your breath about getting a decent sponsor, everyone wants it, but only a few get and deserve it.

*bonfire (Y) I am jusr riding in to watch the display in my town, its a massive display, windows vibrate when they go off, I love it :) then my family are going to the pub, so I'll probably ride back home

sounds too grusome for me (Y) I am a right wimp when it comes to gory or scary films

I ride stock, mods are too easy to ride, might as well just walk over stuff (Y)

onza tuff guys are some of my fave forks, save your money and get another set (Y) I dont find them too heavy, didnt notice between them and fattys

decided I aint going Dont like the venue Dont like the weather mum doesnt want to go

tell that to the preston lot, they have super high bars and tap 52" with ease and matt can sidehop the same again with ease. Higher bars make the bike more fun anyway.

I had some easton ea70s a couple of years back, I remember them being pretty flatish, are you sure the new ones are the same? I heard they have a fair bit of upsweet, maybe 8 degree or somthing, but also have the same amount of backsweep, so I just curious to know if anyones tried the newer ones as they sound pretty good tilted a little bit forward (and I know that a contradiction of my first post :- )

aye, upsweep is what I didnt type but meant to

and heavy :- edit, just looked them up, the are the complete opposite of what I want, they have no rise and 12 degree backsweep!!! B) I want the opposite to that :P

yo' fools I am wanting to get some new bars in 25.4mm clamp as I like the springyness it gives. I am pretty partucular when it comes to feel though. I like a nice upsweep, but also a bit of backsweep, but not too much. I like my onza carbon risers shape, anyone know what degree rise and backsweep it has? Same with azonics bars as I am tempted by either some single walls or b52s. Also Easton have changes their shape I believe?.......anyone tried them? I know I could always tip bars forwards, but I aint a fan of doing that. cheers in advance

get a hope mono 6ti rotor, it will save some weight, look pimp and resist any heat fade. bit exspensive though :-
