Not all of us have to accommodate the guns like you James Rich

I'm just going to do you a favour and close this. If you thought you might like some advice, I'd listen to what Dave's said a few times and remove that from you-tube. If you still don't understand, I'll put it very simply; what you have done is literally the equivalent of drawing a moustache and glasses on the Mona-Lisa with a biro. Do you expect ANYONE to thank you for doing this? Rich Note: I actually really like Disturbed and that track. Edit by Tomm: You should definitely take it down. Why would you do that? Just... Why?

Sweet Gonna have to get out for a few more rides with you boys soon Rich

Yep, I've already staked my claim to a small Rich

That video was f**king awesome. Seriously, why have I never seen that before?! And does anyone know where Matt's got to these days? Still in the forces? Rich

Five years ago to this day the global trials community suffered a devastating loss. Those that already know don't need to be filled in on the details as we all lived through the pain as it happened, but for those that don't: David 'DJ' Jones was one of the brightest hopes this country had on the independent bike trials scene. An awesome street rider with massive potential, securing himself on the Base team in 2004. Aside from trials David was a gifted and talented student, preparing to get married to his girlfriend Emily, and one of the most recognisable and respected members of TF and the trials community. On this day five years ago, the 14th of May 2004, David was involved in a serious road accident which cost him his life. All he did was cross the road at the wrong time, and had the misfortune of crossing paths with someone almost the total opposite of himself; thoughtless, careless, indifferent to other peoples safety. Hundreds of phone calls, text messages, e-mails and forum posts were made that day. I'll never quite forget the sound of Sam Wheelers voice down the phone, or how Iain Plumb's text messages even felt sad. The trials community faced a terrifying reality, that we were all mortal and all scared. It is one of the proudest feelings of my life to see how Davids family, close friends and his extended family of this forum rose not in sadness, but in tribute, to an amazing person, a bright light too quickly put out. Every year for five years, two consecutive meetings of trials riders from all over the country have become an establishment in tribute to such a great man. The Abingdon Memorial ride, organised by Davids family to mirror the ride that followed Davids funeral, and the Portsmouth DJ ride, the ride on which five years ago DJ had himself been planning to attend. Every year for five years we have all come together to remember him, and sadly, Davids name is no longer alone on the list of people whos names we will never forget, but so rarely will speak of. This year will be the final Memorial ride in Abingdon, five years on and five years later. The Portsmouth ride I hope will always continue as our unabated tribute to those fallen from our ranks. On the 6th of June, riders from all over the country will gather at Abingdon for the last time, not for the ride, not for the respect, but for the memory of friends we've lost and the joy of those we still have. If you're thinking you maybe shouldn't be there because you didn't know DJ, or because your worried you won't fit in, don't be. Come and see everyone who's still here. Go to the memorial garden at DJ's school and see the hard work people put in to remember someone. Enjoy the day and enjoy the company. You are special, unique and wonderful, and this could have been you that I was writing about now. But as its not, take some time on the 17th of May, on the 6th of June, at 15:15 hours today, and remember the wonderful people who have been lost. We won't ever forget. Rich Pearson, friend

I'll be honest Steve, that was f**king mint Rich

Get in touch with Prawn, Mowgli or Stu Powney and ask VERY nicely. Rich

Yeah I'll be heading up, get in touch closer to the time Rich

Comment is only valid if you actually know how to ride a trials bike in the first place Rich

Full Ride Details Here Rich

I'm actually fairly confident we can get the four of us in one wagon and really cut the costs down, but plan is to meet at Lukes for around two and have a little play to see which way bikes fit best. Rich

Posse over Saturday and get yourself in on the Prawn love. Rich

Looks awesome Nath Am definitely gonna have to have a roll around West Bay next time I'm up that way, I miss that place so much. Rich

Am aiming to pick Rainbird up at about twoish just to give you an idea Rich

Thanks for all the replies guys, glad everyone seems generally enthusiastic about the vid. Me and Mike had an awesome weekend trying so hard to out-do each other on EVERYTHING we saw, was probably the best 48 hours of riding I've had in a couple of years. Not trying to push stuff or anything but I hope people start to look at the bikes we ride a little differently and that we're doing our best to shed the dodgy Saracen image of the team. Both me and Mike run Hope Pro 2 Trials hubs. Rofl, couldn't fit it in so thought I've save it for another vid when we get some more gayness into it Thanks again to all who watched it, am already working on the next one Rich

I wouldn't tell them you got dumped, but like everyone else has said, talk to the admissions office and state your case calmly, let them know you'd like to be reconsidered and try again. Like Chris said, you've nothing to lose by asking. Lots of luck Rich

How're you getting there Alex? I'm gonna be driving over, want to share some petrol with me? Rich
