Hey all, Feel free to inbox me if you want to ask any questions about the trials jam we did... It's a lot of graft but it's worth it when it goes well... We were embarrassed about the trials jam after lots and lots of venue issues, I hope you don't en dup having a similar experience....

A little re-edit of footage gathered through the winter... BIG thanks to Alex at 'Trial n Error' for putting this together

Thank you for the comments lads, really appreciated... 4.06 meters mate, just got the certificate through from Guinness so it's now the official world record : ) Really chuffed about this comment mate! Love to think that our shows get people pumped to ride...

This footage was gathered over 2 years while touring with 3SIXTY, we have been too manic to film properly so it's ended up as a random mashup... From now on we'll be doing everything properly and putting out HD edits... Hope you enjoy anyways... http://vimeo.com/62856891

Hmmm, well the front one is wooden, will probs end up with a saint eventually though....

It's a great brake, although it does lack feel, I'm hoping it will get a bit more wooden as it beds in...

Thanks for sharing Ross.... Glad people like it.... Had a blast making it....

Just tried to fit a maggie 05 lever blade to the tensile body... All the dimensions match up perfectly so any cnc'd lever that fits an 05 maggie should fit the Tensile too... However the pivot bolt is fatter on the Tensile lever so the pivot hole on the lever blade is also bigger, any after market blades would need either the pivot hole drilled out or a nifty replacement bolt/shim set up... Hope that makes sense...

Just to weigh in... I've been testing this lever for a few months now and I havent been kind to it at all... I run a very light grind as I dont like too much bight, I prefere to yank on my brakes hard when I need to lock up in the wet or while back hopping up/down cambers etc... My set up: Tensile lever, Koxx yellows, Magura 05 calipers, with a big burly 4 bolt booster... It's a super stiff set up and it really inspires confidence... I have a really low bottom bracket and a street set up so I can really feel the pressure of my posture trying to force the wheel free when back hopping down slopes etc... I've just moved to the coast so most of the testing has been on rocks, mostly wet and I'm just clamping on damned hard a lot of the time... In the past when I've done this my 05 Maggie levers have flexed and the seals havent held for long at all... After a short but harsh test period I'm finding them pretty faultless....

I'll be riding South Shields amphitheatre tomorrow from 12:00... Come join me at possibly the only snowless riding spot around...?!?

Thanks for the kind comments, much appreciated... Ha, cheers dude, greatly appreciated...! No idea on the stem geo, I took it off our team Mini Master.... Good advice mate, much obliged... I have a steady cam as well and the BEBO so I'm going to play around with how close I can get while still keeping the footage steady...

Thanks mate, I've been stuck hopping around in demos all summer and trying to fit manuals and stuff in around the rig, if you do a full pedal stroke in our little arena you run out of space before you start to manual!

Heya, I want to use my iphone to film... here's a little test edit I did this morning, can anyone advise on how to improve quality?!?! Camera is iPhone 4s with Bebo accessory (incl wide lens and mic) Edited in iMovie (Share>Media Browser>Large. Then imported to youtube) ... All tips and advice are much appreciated... PS: the riding aint great! just a windy test ride...

Well top 5 in a modern day comp works for me! I still have this bike, looking at it now its crazy to think we all used such weak parts (especially the chains and freewheels) back then, everything snapped so easily... No idea on the sont, Jonny Jones made the vid, he might know if you IM him?

Found my first pro vid from 2004 on an old storage cd, so I thought I'd share... Wonder what the get creative judges would have scored me?!? http://youtu.be/PW1WygvPFf0

Different Urban Games.... There's probably dozens of Urban Games every year, don't think it's trademarked at all...

A little edit from one of the media teams at the Urban Games, we have a fair bit of footage and broke 3 world records that day, will try and get an edit up soon....

Ha cheers buddy, i think that was my last solo edit actually... I dont suppose anyone has this?!?! I've had it on several computers and seem to keep loosing it over the years...

Cheers all.... Did anyone notice that the first 50 seconds are in reverse too??!?

Hi All, I popped out this morning with the tripod and camera to put together a little edit, its nothing too big or clever as I've been injured and am still getting used to the bike but its a playful wee edit... By the way the new zoot is my favourite bike ever, it's the best allrounder I've ever riden and I cant wait to put some more time in at the skate parks to find some more flow and mix things up.... Hope you enjoy... Ian

HA, whats this doing on here?!?!? I do a squeeker and some back hops, its hardly trials!!!! The story board for this ad depicted a geek happily cycling through london, smiling while slowly pootling along, holding up all the angry commuters who are in such a rush to get to the office.... then having the time to pull a few tricks at the lights and a screen caption saying 'not all bankers are wankers' ....for the internet edit obviously.... This might just be a version aimed at TV.... I hope they release the original idea as we filmed for 2 days and I did a grand job of slowing up hundreds of arseholes on Waterloo bridge!

Thank you to everyone who has read, liked and shared my blog, its really appreciated... To those who hate it with a passion (Ali C?!?!?!), well that fine too, I always knew that it was a marmite project and I actually expected more negative comments, although I didn't quite expect Ali's rant in the angry thread... The thing is this, I'm just blurting out my thoughts.. in my own blog which doesnt have to be read if it offends, no worries, no drama...

Latest blog entry now up... its all about world record drops and what went through my head while dropping from 4.4 meters in front of thousands of people... Link Hope you like... Drummond
