Rich Pearson

He lives pretty near me and I ride with him every now and then. Have just texted him to get stuff sorted, hopefully he replies with something positive. Best I can do at the moment. Rich

My favourite videos About half way down the first post, (just scan for Matt's name) Enjoy Rich

Kevin, I want to marry your style Awesome vid. Rich

Wiki Win I'd say, by the sounds of things, just "putting people to sleep" is a bit of an understatement. So you're kind of both right, and wrong. Which is my favourite kind of wrong. On a seperate note, I'm going under the knife in a couple of weeks to have an arthroscopy on my ankle, all I can say is after reading most of this topic, I am f**kING glad none of you bastards will have anything to do with it And no, I wouldn't kill her, no one has the right to play God except the big man himself. And Danny Tipple. Rich

Hell... Yeah... Love it Adam, really nice Rich

Your best bet is to call Clive Leeson and ask him to get it sprayed for you (he can also sort you out with new stickers and graphics) as he'll be able to do it realtively cost effectively and to an excellent quality. I would personally love to see it in white with all black components and black graphics, I reckon that'd look really nice. Rich

The problem you'll have there is pretty well encased in the statement itself: anyone "professionally sponsored" will have their own frame to ride and can't risk upsetting their sponsors (i.e. the exact situation I'm in with MAD, otherwise I'd jump straight in and volunteer to have a crack). But there are still plenty of riders with no professional commitments who will give the frame a good seeing to. Lookin forward to seeing it around. Rich

I'm slightly worried about the number of photo's you took of Jess (lee's missus). Like scary Robin Williams, One Hour Photo kind of worried... Rich

Search option dude... Rich

I had a good long chat with steve (is there any other kind?) about two weeks ago and he did say he had quite a heavy workload getting pads and other heatsink products out to people and is slowly but surely working through it. Everyones always been pretty leanient with Steve for two very good reasons, 1) the guy has two kids, a wife, and a full time job aside from Heatsink, and they all want a piece of his time, and 2) He makes just about the best pads in the world, so as the saying goes, "all good things..." Keep PM'ing and e-mailing him though, he'll get around to it Rich

You know any other trials riders called Andrei? Rich

Yup, me and Andrei are heading up, should hopefully be a good day, always enjoy Bransgore Rich

I'm working on it.... Rich

I've heard there may be some kind of little gathering in nearby Millbrook at a certain persons abode at around that time...

My bad...

Mate that was beautiful. Seriously impressed. Were you in London on Sunday by any chance? Rich

Title says it all really. Tried to get more 'lines' into this one as well as a fair bit of the regular stuff. Trials-Forum Video -> Full View • Download • Upload Filmed in at Wheal Kitty, Falmouth and Truro. Thanks as always go to Dan Pearce and Alex Dark for their tireless filming, and to MAD and all the teams supporting sponsors for all the help they have provided. As always all comments welcome. Enjoy Rich

Cheers for all the replies guys, glad y'all seem to like it I have actually got a pretty light grind on my ronnie, just brushing the surface with a cutting disc really, works really well with the pads I'm running. There should be a download link in trials-tube embed I think its more that they took a bit o time off after Always Outnumbered Never Outgunned, and then have spent a few years really polishing and perfecting Invaders Must Die, and I've got to say they've done an awesome job of going back their grass routes, really bringing it back to the club scene. Points for observation to that man Thanks again for all the comments, vid two is nearly finished, might even get it out before the London ride. Rich

Can't hook, for shit. Tried for SOOOO long, just can't ever get it. Rich

Title kind of says it all really. Rich

Liked it the first time, loved it this time Good work Patt Rich

The Shimano AM40 shoes are actually pretty nice. Very comfy to ride in (not the comfiest thing to walk in, although I do have pretty f**ked ankles so most shoes hurt to walk in) and offer a decent amount of ankle protection without being too compromising. I also reckon they look quite nice Very bad Paint image, but should show you where I took off from on the sidehop. Rich

I've not actually made it to one of the afterparties except for the second one (fridge death, chai in socks, shrewsbury on the roof, if you were there they'd all mean something to you ) so I'm definately up for it. Rich

Went down Wheal Kitty yesterday for a bit of a bounce around, and luckily the one other trials rider in Cornwall happens to be a professional snapper Poser-ish drop shot. ...and again... Hefty-ish tap Gap down... ...and back up... ...and back down again Fairly sure this is the largest sidehop I've ever managed (probably around 47"ish) ...and again, this time holding on by the grace of Maxxis knobbles.... Hero shot I was going to lie and say something awesome happens here, but it didn't. It was blowing a gale something chronic and I pussied out. Sorry... And the bike itself. All photo's by Dan Pearce -> www.danielpearcephotography.dphoto.com And yes, I have silly thin girly legs and make silly faces. I know, I know... Enjoy Rich

COME ON! I really want to see this now! Rich
