  1. 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)
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. good work Ben, you're sure getting these results in :P
  5. 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.
  6. 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!
  7. 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

    New Shoes?

    I'll stick with my 661 duallys thanks
  9. 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).
  10. my bike weighed in at 26lbs, just what I thought it was
  11. 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.
  12. omfg!!! I laughed soo much I cryed :P :huh: I have never seen anything so funny in my life!

    Maxxis Tyres

    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
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. 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

  19. whats the font for heatsink on your site?
  20. 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?
  21. 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. >_<
  22. 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)
  23. done, done I recken it might be somthing to do with the timing, but I have no idea how to adjust that

    Tyre

    I have had my slow reezay minion on the rear for 4 months now, still plenty of tread left.
  25. as some of you might know, I got a yamaha ty175 a couple of months back for cheap off ebay. The bike was a non runner and I have been trying to get it running. The bike didnt have a woodruough key, so I have gotten a new one, also the gaskets on the engine were shot, so they have been replaced. I am having to bump start it as the kickstart is f**ked (gonna weld it on). today it actually got running a few times but it back fire really badly and doesnt tick over. I might take it to a local bike shop, but I can imagian it will be exspensive. So if any of you guys knows about this stuff, I would love to hear your opinions.
