looking cool little elf kid (Y) fast learner, you will be teaching me soon :) Shame it was bad quality. Oh, and I recken the monty you want will be much better for you, nice and short, might also be worth putting on a normal mtb stem, that t pro looks waaaaay too big for you.

blowing stuff up is ace, asl long as its your own stuff and away from people. I wouldnt buy fireworks though, waaaay too exspensive

been cautioned for taking food from a skip :-

I am suprised actually :- I will now say that in the vid I had already been riding 3 years, so that might change people impressions, most people nowerdays are better than that in their 1st years riding B)

narr, it wasnt sarc. I rode mod for 3 years but I always felt I had it easy compared with the stock riders, I didnt feel I was "proving" myself as a good rider unless I rode the harder bikes (nowerdays thats arguable) I guess it just stuck.

I would love one too, there are two reasons why I dont really want or need one. 1) cant enter comps 2) would almost feel like cheating being on the smaller easier bike, 26" is great because its the biggest challenge, no point making things easier for yourself, its wimping out :- Matt Staples bike was and is awesome, one of the better frames out in my books.

heres my idea for a nice street 24" frame......no copying :-

if they are uci I deffo want to do all the comps next year.

Global had problems with the manufactuers in russia, I think they are planning on finding a new place, then try again with the trials rig. I guess I am saying steel as I already have a nice alu trials frame, I am wanting a 24" as a little on the side. But seeing though I have a comp set up with my main bike, I am wanting my 24" to be very bmxy, a total contrast to my usual bike, so I can do the stuff I cant normally do.

cheers dude, but you might be a little dissapointed, I am a slow learner B) The only other vids I can think of that I am in are HOF 2003 and hibernation, both from the 2003 time. I really want to make a vid, but my camera is bust :ermm:

I use koxx green at the mo, they are the best pads I have used, mint bite, mint hole, mint in the wetn, mint wear rate. But the best brake I have tried was with coust pads, the brake just wouldnt move AT ALL!! EVER!!! I was blown away. I have had a few goes with the blue heatsinks, not greatly impressed really, ace bite, but no holding power. Plaz crms are prennt neat in the dry, but not in the wet. This is all using a nice harsh grind btw

after cleanbikes I rode an echo for a bit, then I rode for Global and now tartybikes.

I am a naturist, I dont wear anything, cant offend anyone then (Y)

thats not a mega spin :) Its just a 360 back pivot. a mega spin is where you go and stand on your chainstays and spin lots and lots and lots. 360 rear pivots are still good though, I can only do them on good days.

very impressive felix, silky smooth as normal, nice editing too. I like your vids with no music, as I can then add my own and it doesnt clash. I particually like playing REALLY slow chilled out radiohead, goes REALLY well.

(Y) ta guys There are a few moves in the vid that I cant do now. the big bunnyhop gap to the rail is one. The gap to the bollard near the end is the scaryest thing ever!! I really dont like the editing or the music, the clips change too soon, and sometimes the start of the move is cut off. I have no idea who did the editing though :)

its pretty cool. but he does have one huge ass foam pit to try them into (Y) as for comps, I find them boring, I only watch them for the crashes, which isnt that often :)

just saw that cleanbikes had my old vid as vid of the week. Its been a few years since I origionally put it on here, so I thought now would be a good oppertunity. please dont laugh at my riding. sorry if its classed as advertising, and sorry to dave and adam for showing a competetors shop :) it wont let me add a link, so pop over to www.cleanbikes.co.uk (then go to tartybikes lol)

personally I wouldnt buy a street bike unless it was steel, just for the ease of fixing.

my bb used to come loose all the time, I just rode it anyway. Got a new bb now and its fine :)

nooooo steel steel steel!!

being in brum, its better for me in that its easier to get to. But nass doesnt sound like my kinda thing so I dont recken I will go.

I have yet to have a disk that worked well straight out of the box, they all need bedding in. The avid is one of the quickest to do so. I say just ride like normal, it will get good.

have you bed it in?
