Yeah sure, add me to msn is prob best. Harry

Yeah I was pulling up for a backhop, it was held on with same slither of metal as you, just the top flat bit. Harsh. Harry

Yeah its like that giant, ugly. Looks also like the old saracen curved bits from the older style frames. Harry

Its still a switch wheel but with a side or kick hop up first. Harry

Alot of them are pro athletes and train/ride all the time which helps. Also some of it maybe down to differnt gear ratios. Harry.

Oh your a clever one?? :(

Had a go on one yesterday and it was lovely, im getting on as soon as possible. Harry

I understand what your saying and have looked at this alot cos i know a guy called ray who works for the land registry in portsmouth city council. He is helping me put together a plan to put forward to them. He knows all the areas we need and so thats were im starting. And for those of you who keep saying read the posts, I have and maybe some of you should do the same. I have out lined what im doing, getting a list of names to show how many people there are into the sport. Thanks to those that have emailed me, thank but no thanks to those who have been useless and made pointless posts. Harry

Meet outside the station at 11/11.30 All welcome. Harry

Street but rocks are cool Harry

Yeah man thats cools, it may not work but at least your trying. So many of these guys agree with it but dont want to bother to try. I am reading the posts, and if you do care then just take a second to email your name and email address. Then you can say at least you helped. If it doesnt work then you can say i told u so. But this is not what its about. Cheer for the support yoyoyo. Its good to see some of you bother. Harry

Its quite sad to see that it has has had a 200 views and a load of pointless replies in such a short time. People can be bothered to waste time slating the idea instead of write an email with their name in it which would take less than a minute and would not matter if nothing came from it. But if it does then it a bonus.

Yes I know this but it is all the more reason they should something about it. I see your point but unfortunately you cant do a petition with just email addresses because they can argue there not real people. There are around 3000 members on trials forum alone and thats not all the trials riders in the uk. Even with just these people just sending me there email and name is going be a big help. I have already talked to the council, they want a idea of numbers, cost and the type of things we want in a trials park. But thanks for a useful positive post, I might try it with just email addresses?

Yeah but the only reason I ride street is cos i live in a city which means theres not alot of natural stuff round here. Yeah and the reason we ride in the street which is wrong is because we have know where else to ride. You cant get a park everywhere at once. Even places that have them didnt get them just cos the council thought ohhh lets build one. Its because people in the area let them know that one was wanted and needed . Some of you have no vision and are very narrow minded. Its quite sad to see, but if your happy then good luck to you.

Well no actually the point is to get some where to ride to so that we dont have to ride in the street. Oh and its funny, because we had around 70 riders on the last big street ride in portsmouth so it is for people out side portsmouth too. But your obviously not bothered about it so why bother having a go at me for trying to change it? You seem a big gobby, I bet you would give some lip to a cop or people that complain to you when your out riding. So instead of being so negative why don't you help instead of being such a useless muppet?

Well thats exactly my point, Im at uni in portsmouth. Just as a start I want somewhere to ride here. But if we have a list of every rider we can just send a copy of it to a city. This instantly shows the support and amount of people into the sport. Also it shows the interst in the sport. More people get to know about us and that were not out to destroy the streets. If it makes no difference then its nothing lost because it only takes a minute of your time. Im the one willing to put in the effort but I need help from all you guys. Thanks Harry

Right you all know the story of being always being moved on by police and everyone saying go to the skate park. etc. I'm putting a list together of all the trials riders in the uk. Its not going to be easy and its not a small task, by all means I know this. What I would like you all to do is email me at - Freetoride@hotmail.co.uk your Full Name Email It my seem strange that I ask for you address too, but if we have a list of people the council will think they are only made up names, etc. If you know of any other riders or people who have an interest in the area or will support us, who can be added to the list please give them the email address. I will be contacting all the major companies in the uk that do parts etc. I know some of you are thinking, why bother it wont make a difference. But it will never change unless people know about it. It only takes a little effort from each of you and what do you have to lose? If you have nothing useful to say please dont waste my time. Please email me those details to - Freetoride@hotmail.co.uk Any comments or questions please post in here or msn me Littleharrys@hotmail.com I hope this works but I need you all to help. Its up to you? The first name on the list is mine. Harry Elliott Freetoride@hotmail.co.uk Thanks, Harry

Well it was an interesting start to the day within half an hour someone snapping a brake lever trying to back wheel an electric box. Then mentioning no names someone else tried the same thing a ripped the box from the ground, only to cause the traffic lights at the crossing to fail. A speedy get away was needed. And all day security and gay police didn't leave us alone but all round was still an ace day even though only 5 turned up, don't know what happened to the fareham lot. Harry

No great surprise, not the best reputation for quality frames. H

Get some thin foam grips I think, they dont tear as badley as thick ones. Harry

Thats is a building just for parts. Cool Harry

Smooth riding as ever Harry

I have not been yet, I keep meaning to go each year but never got round to going. I would like to go but its basically my last 50 quid if I do. So for those of that have been can you give us a few reasons to go? Cheers. Harry (Y)

Go on, July 17th? :)
