best weekend ever!! I rode like crap for the first two laps (got 40 just for them) but my fird lap was ace, only got 2 dabs, why couldnt I have ridden like that from the beginning, I would have won :S I loved the rock sections, even though I fived pretty much all of them on my first lap <_< dont know what happened there. The man made ones were awesome, and the speed trial section was a great idea. I am pretty sure I set the fastes time on the speed course......39secs with no dabs :( I thought doney was never gonna be beaten with his time B) There was also two of the best street rides I have been on, I never knew everyone was so good :unsure: it was also nice to meet people off here, finally put names to faces. I am sure the scottish people are the nicest I have met, the amount of people who stopped and watched was unbelieveable, and the cheers and claps we got when landing a move was great. The best bit however was the drunk rich guy who handed out at least £200 in cash to riders who impressed him, I got £20 which was spent on a really nice pup meal for me, aran and waddy. Also sexy mike, phil, tom, dave and matt are all nuts, they bloody kidnapped me when I came out of a petrol station, who knows what all the people were thinking :ermm: I am at work now, so cant type too much, I am sure I might edit stuff when I get home. PS if anyone knows the full pro results, I would love to know them Also thanks to fred savage, mick scriven and barbara wright for all the work they put in helping out, also thanks to the observers.

today is the "getting stuff ready" day, but I just wanna check on a couple of things first. What are the rules on gears? do we need 6 working or is singlespeed ok? Are we allowed to wear shorts? (if the weather lets us) I think thats all I need to know. I cant wait, should be ace :ermm:

I would totally wreck my rim doing that :huh: impressive stuff, cant wait for the vids :ermm: :(

I always find it weird how people wanna drive as soon as they are 17 (Y) Or maybe I was stranger waiting till I was 21 and doing it (Y) I also used a cd rom to help, its really helpfull, my instructor lent me it. I passed 1st time with 3 minors (Y)

if 24" bikes were allowed in comps, I would love somthing like that (but a bit longer). But I am afraid I am gonna repeat people above by saying it needs to be more bmxy.

narr, years back when pashley was starting trials, Edd used to run a stickered up sunn. I have seen a couple on ebay, really nice simple frames.

good work Ben, you're sure getting these results in :P

I also loved the ruffian lock ons, lasted me 7 months though, not 3 weeks :- I used to love monty foams, but I cant stand them now, I am sure the thin grips make my arm pump worse.

I can do about 30 when I have the energy but I never feel comfortable in the push up position. I can do about the same pull ups, but I much prefer them. the hardcore virsion is to clap your hands when you get to the top, then catch the bar again. I can do about 5 or 6 in a row. I also did 15 of them with a full camp rucksack on........go me!

untill a better shoe comes out, nothing can match the 661 duallys for ankle protection! Trials shoes have really crap prtection, hardly worth having at all (the ones I have tried anyway) The only bad thing about the 661's is the weight

I'll stick with my 661 duallys thanks

sorry, I didnt manage to watch it all. I flicked forward but it still didnt entertain me. I liked the camerawork, I rather like getting nice unique shots, but for it to work I think you need a rider whos goes big or has a really nice style, or both (no offence).

my bike weighed in at 26lbs, just what I thought it was

cheers, thats really helpful :) I think the carb needs some adjustment too, its drinking petrol like a fish, I think it has a leak somewhere or is putting too much petrol into the cylinder (hence all the smoke). That might be why it hasnt got much power when it does run too.

omfg!!! I laughed soo much I cryed :P :huh: I have never seen anything so funny in my life!

the softer compunds are just plain black, as they cant use the same compound and still have the stripe apparently

pretty swish (Y) looks an ace place to ride, I thought I was the only one doing 360 front pivots :o ohwell, well done you :D :D

driven through a few times, to be honest there didnt look to be a masive amount of stuff to ride on, but I may pay a vist sometime

nope, its not a new bike (1985 :)" ) its seen better days. The front drum doesnt work (gonna fettile with it) and my friend broke the lever, so I am gonna stick some mtb ones on (moto style levers though). The back drum brake works awesome though, only needs a light tap to lock. The shocks are a little too soft and over sprung, but I can live with it. Thanks for the comments guys

this stupid thing has justgiven me a proper headache <div class='bbimg'></div> really easy to change colours too Edit, a plain black and white one for simplicity

whats the font for heatsink on your site?

rather impressive, I have been riding 6 years and am well of your standards. my gaps have gotten bigger, but 3 times as harsh, I go through rims like I go through underwear. Do you find the same?

ramps, you dont know me (at least I dont think we have met) I live in hebden bridge (multi map it) it takes about 20mins to get to burnley if that. Burnley isnt a huge place, so its never going to be the best, but there is some decent stuff. The main shopping street is mint, the band stand there is awesome, but after 10 mins riding we got asked to move on saying if we damaged any of the benches and rails we would be prosicuted. >_<

I am a wannabe engineer. I want to study it, but there arnt any couses near me and I aint prepared to leave home yet >_< I wish my parents were into it, or at least have some tools other than a hacksaw, file and grinder. I have so much stuff in my head that I cant experiment with making, it makes me sad (Y)
