yeah, my new frame has a 1075 wheelbase and super low bars, not the easiest bike to bunnyhop (Y) Me being better at street? yeah right! pumpkin arms!

I am the opposite, it takes a lot for me to sweat, and then its only on my forhead. I see people with soaked t-shirts, I have never had that happen, I didnt realise people actually sweated that much!

I started at 15, 6 years ago

how about making the rear tubless too? then you dont have to worry about puncture protection and have a bouncier tyre. PS I reccomend Kendas stick-E range, I have had mine about 4 months ish and they still have loads of tread left, they even do a dual compund if you want them to last longer. They also do super light front tyres too.

its a brand new computer with xp, when I lug my camera in, nothing comes up. It does with my digital camera. I think the problem is I dont have firewire, there is no port at the back of the computer (though there is a dv cable port on the front). I dont have adobe, but I do have movie maker (want to change though). Danny Smith can capture footage on his computer with my camera, but Iolo cant on his computer, its very random (Y)

a competition bike is harder to bunnyhop than a sreety bike (well, mine is). I dont have the confidence the commit to bunnyhoping at a big old wall, the fear of my front not comming up enough is too much. When I pedal at it, there's no worry. I would like to be able to bunnyhop up hooks, but I aint gonna do them on my long wheelbase low bar height bike.

I cant wait. I hope the sections are doable for me and my dodgy rear disk (Y) I dont wanna kill myself! My mum will be observing (yet again!) She has observed at as many comps as she can since 99! I think she deserves a brake. We need more of people parents to observe, when my cars on the road my mum wont be bringing me to any comps, so thats one less observer for the future. thanks for taking the tims to do the sections today guys, I cant wait to see them tomorrow >_<

I have been wanting to make trialvs vids gor 4 years now, 3 years ago I bought a camcorder thinking I would then be able to do exactly that.....how wrong I was! I got a camcorder, filmed stuff, and to my dissapointment I need more stuff to make vids. I then got myself a firewire card installed to my computer and got a DVi cable. Surely now I could edit vids? nope, Media player still says there is no device attached to the computer >_< I then went and bought myself a new computer earlier this year, I asked for a firewire card to be fitted, but I am pretty sure one wasnt. What I want to know is exactly what I need to make vids? Do I just use a DVi cable or do I need the usb cable as well? The camcorder came with software but I am pretty sure it was just for usb purposes to extract still pictures. Am I missing a cd that will let me get my beloved footage? (its a JVC GR-1800 btw) If I was to get a new firewire card, which should I get? I think thats all the questions, but if thers anything I need to know, please tell me. Ta taa

I said it was cheating, mainly for the fact I cant bunnyhop :"> I do feel if you can bunnyhop its far easier to do it that way than pedaling, I prefer to learn things the hard (would say proper, but there isnt one) way, it might mean I spend longer learning and not get results fast, but it pays off in the end. Of course Benito and co bunnyhop, they are on mods! They bunnyhop so easy they are nearly all the way up before they need to hook.

when I am riding mine stick out, but when I am not doing anything, you cant see them at all. I went to give blood a couple of weeks ago, but they had to turn me down because they couldnt find a vein to stick the needle in :blink:

"Odyssey Hazard Cassette rear hub, 14mm Cro-mo axle & sealed bearings" unless its lieing or I am phick, thats a cassette hub :blink:

I have a wtp primat, its pretty cool. If your looking for full bikes I have heard hofman bikes are getting pretty good. If mongoose still do the RAF take a look at that, its was crazy good value. RAF Seems bloody good, cromo frame, forks and bars, 3 piece cranks, oddyssy cassette hub! chrome rims, front and rear brakes.......I might get one!

I would think the ali (Y) bongo would make a nice hooking frame due to the clearence the bb has.

dont learn them the cheating bunnyhoping way, pedal into it like a man! (Y)"

that was his own frame for a college project. He has just bought a very exspensive braizing kit. I have seen his braizing and its very neat, I think I might ask him to make a 24" frame (Y)

I always wear a helmet, I have hit my head 3 times and my helmet saved me. Anyway, I dont think helmets make people look stupid, do motocross riders look stupid in theirs? How about rally drivers? They look pretty normal to me. The only exception is those massive police helmets that look like church bells, now they look stupid (Y)

Hooking was my nemisis untill the other day, I could do sloped walls fairly easily, but virtical ones seemed impossible. There is an upside down canal boat on the towpath near my house, its about shoulder hight. Its as virtical as your gonna get and I have always wanted to try it, but was too scared. The other say I just thought sod it! I tryed it and it was easier than I thought. I can get to bash nearly every time, but a few times I got it to rear wheel only to have my brake slip (dam disk!) one time it didnt slip but my weight was too far back I just pivoted on my back wheel over the edge. This has put a whole new light on hooks for me, I want to try some different ones, but there arnt any more around me (Y) TIPs fast, be confident, weight forward, be confident.

aww, I thought I was being smart :- I need an owned picture

good luck pedalling it when its got a chain on, you would only be able to go backwards. looks pretty wacky though

looks nice without a rear mech, looks much more simple and clean. still not a huge fan of the look of those frames though, they just look over complicated and heavy.

nah, they are non spd, I have worn them a couple or hours each day now, they are slowly getting better. does the bag, water, freezer trick really work? That sounds more fun than wearing or bending them :) would piss work instead of water? :)

the longest ride I have done was an all night session (8 till8) at interact skate park on my bmx, I was riding all night apart from half an hour recovering from a crash. I fell asleap on the train the next morning, almost missed my stop

green for me

oh how art thou the sexiest bike in the land! I thought people were a bit weird when they thought bikes were sexual, but thats the best looking bike I have EVER seen!!!!! I soooooo want one

cheeky! :blink: I I found those others anyway (Y)
