well, I thought the zoo python was the worst riding bike I have ever been on, and I have tried a few. The echo team is ok, not the nicest I have ridden. I MUCH prefer the ride of montys, they just feel sooooo much better than any other mod I have ridden I personally dont see the point in long mods, they dont seem to have any advantages over short ones in my view. If they are too cramped, get a 26"

you gotta tell me where that button is, I would really like to see some of the moves I have in vids in slow mo!! as for the vid in question, I split it into two categorys Good: riding, massive gaps, taps, sidehops and bunnyhops, very impressive errrrm, it was free Bad MUSIC!! editing could have been better repetative to be honest, I prefered some of your last vids more. but thanks for taking the time to make it :blink:

yeah, the more the merrier, preston is ace for riding. got you wheel sorted kyle?

I wanna ride preston......either sat or sunday is good, let me know what day your going. I would try to be there for 11 (I have no idea where to go from the station though)

lol, I have never used a jig (Y) I just put the wheel in an old frame or fork and put a zip tie around ao there is a bit sticking out towards the rim, works well.

I build my wheels,,took a few botched efforts to eventually get it right. My front wheel hasnt had to be touched for months (Y)

who cares what it looks like as long as it works, trials isnt about how things look you know :P

I saw these pics and thought of you. this is my community service to you all.

Mag oooo rah.

lovely........................Your ridings comming on leaps and bounds. I remember watching your first vid on the blue px (or base, cant remember). hard to believe its the same rider :P I thought the music was mint, and it was edited really well to it. a keeper

thats what I miss for not watching the news or listening to the radio :P

what earthquakes? have I missed somthing? :P

Blazing Saddles in hebden bridge is good, they have at least two t pros in stock now (I built them :P ) not too far from leeds either or get it from tartybikes, is an excellent shop, but online only.

I wouldnt run anything but braided hose. The only stuff worth getting though is maggies own brand. Its actually lighter than normal hose and you never have to worry about your bars spinning and snapping the hose. Its mint.

high bbs suck, thats all you need to know :P

well, I ride comps and have my bike setup that way. You would think it would be setup super light, but it isnt. First, wide rims are heavier, I have a mavic 321 on the front as its nice and wide, I also have a maxxis slow reezay tyre on the front for more grip, but this tyre is heavier than what a lot of treet riders run. Then theres all the gears, mech, cable, shifer, it all adds up. If I didnt do comps I could make my bike a lot lighter, well, actually, I am anyway. Ti bolts, tubless, drilled front rim, lighter front tyre, so hopfully I can have a light bike again, but it wont be as strong, but its not really the riding that would break things like bolts, just over tightening. so the answer is I m sacrificing reliability for weight, but my current bike is the opposite.

I ranna ride riverpool

I wouldnt say smart guys are strong, I have seen wayy too many snapped pairs for my liking. I also dont reccomend fattys, mine have a crack in but I do treat my front end quite harsh. My top choices are Echos (which ever you fancy) bt pashleys

waaaaayy, great ride, best I have had in a while. I was suprised to see so many people, normally I dont like big groups as it tends to atract more fuzz, but it didnt seem to be too bad a problem this time (except for the uni) I missed the train because they were running 6 mins early (Y) how stupid is that. When I (well, we) got to the granit wall, everyone had gone (or not arrived?), anyway, within the first 5 mins of just messing there, I got a front puncture :P cheers for letting me use the repairkit :- I was pleased with my riding, my taps are getting there. I tapped the concrete block by the road near the playhouse, I have wanted to do that evr since I saw Holroyd do it years ago. I did it first time, and then to manual :P Rossi, Damon, chris, mat and kyle were also having it easily. BTW, Mat and Damon are total beasts!!

but are crap in the wet so I have heard. I am just gonna run normal pads on the rotor, they wont last as long, but the brake will be super powerful, perfect for comps (will be replaced by a normal steel one for everyday riding)

I have a 2004 maggie lever with cnc blade. I wanna get a fresh blade as and when they come out (Y) I have tried the 05 levers and I think they are the most horrid feeling things ever.

not sure I want to, I have been trying sidehops for about 4 years now, cant even get 45" its gonns be sooo depressing to watch someone whos been riding half the time beast up 54" (Y) :P

I will be there, I really want some people to teach me proper sidehops. I hope we dont get bothered by policiomen hope it doesnt drip water from the sky also

Waaaay, someone saw it :P didnt get it on film did you? (Y)

running through a glass dor when I was 6 breaking my arm when I was 8ish having my one and only fight at high school having a fight with an ex friend (I hardly ever get into fights, those are the only two I have had, so I remember them) walking out of school cos I was pissed off first time getting drunk the time me, Iolo and Wad almost got arrested for taking food from a coop skip when my car broke down in wales 6 days after buying the dam thing the time my home made rocket launcher blew up when Iolo was holding it :P riding at the bike show work experience at orange can remember owt else now
