    sorry guys, I thought it was one of the crappest vids I have seen. I spent aaages downloading it watching once (barley) and was really dissapointed, I then deleted it.
  2. sure thing tom, we can have a little comp :ermm:
  3. ayeup...........the train either gets in at half ten or half eleven. I am wanting to get the later train, but I nedd to tell waddy. cya there
  4. yeah, us lot from middle country will try to get at preston station at 11ish, if theres no one there I will ring merlin riders mobile. I cant wait, although my bike needs some attention, I am gonna be sneaky and do it at work tomorrow (N)
  5. bestest frame in the whole wide world that I have ridden is a koxx kenny beleay
  6. wrong frame, thats the hi fi and echo team that have that headtube. the control has just a normal setup like the pure, seriously strong frames
  7. 2nd best riding frame I have ridden and I have tried a lot of frames.
  8. 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"
  9. 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:
  10. yeah, the more the merrier, preston is ace for riding. got you wheel sorted kyle?
  11. 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)
  12. 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.
  13. 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)
  14. who cares what it looks like as long as it works, trials isnt about how things look you know :P
  15. I saw these pics and thought of you. this is my community service to you all.
  16. 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
  17. thats what I miss for not watching the news or listening to the radio :P
  18. what earthquakes? have I missed somthing? :P
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. high bbs suck, thats all you need to know :P
  22. 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.
