Thanks mate, I'll keep em coming... I've just set the app up on my ipad so I can blog on the road : )

Hey all, My mind never shuts up so I thought I would start using up some of these thoughts with a blog... mostly about trials... feel free to comment Linky Linkage... Drummond

Love you!

Cheers all.... The grass landing is allowed but as I didn't ride it out then it doesn't count, and as Brett fell off the rails before completing the 50 gaps then his doesn't count either.... The 2 target drops do count though... I lowered into the drop pretty good, at that hight it's no longer a drop, it's actually a free fall and the bike wants to leave your pedals... If you flick the back end down too quick then you loose contact with your feet so it's hard to get the front end low.... Drummond

Hey All, We managed to cram in 4 world record attempts into august.... Check out the vid: Drummond

At the last official Guinness attempt to break the world record bunny hop, Hermance was the last 26" rider to bow out at 54", but they were taking off from a plyboard stage which had some flex and spring so for the purpose of our bunny hop comp (which was on grass) we set the standard for a stock at 52".... It doesn't really matter as the comp was more of a showcase / crowd pleaser in the end... not an official attempt... We broke 2 official records the day before so the comp was a chance to de-stress and chill with old mates... the records vid will follow once we get the footage from our events team....

Ha, cheers ben... Yeah they are kind of easy records so as long as the weathers ok we aren't worried..... the hard bit is finding time to practice when we are so busy doing events and prepping for Sunday's comp.... the vid in this thread literally shows every single practice drop we have done so far... You should get yourself up here for the sunday mate, it's gonna be an awesome comp...

Ha, nice vid mate... You have to ride at least 3 meters once landed, plus the mat can only be 2cm thick...... I guess he's just celebrating the fact that he survived.... Guinness don't pay anyone... To get a guy from Guinness to come and adjudicate attempts costs £5000 plus travel.... And if you want info from them but aren't willing to wait 6 weeks it'll cost you over £400.... They have a cushy little business model eh!

Yeah we'll be landing on grass on the day, it's a tricky drop which twists the old back muscles so even though I'm allowed as many attempts as I like my back will give in after around 5 goes... Fingers crossed eh : ) Because the event hiring us is based in Newcastle.... Which is on a national rail route and has a mega bus drop off station.... No excuses y'all ! Cheers dude, glad you like it : ) Well aren't you a lucky sausage! Guinness tell us that the official record is 4m, I'm happy to drop from between 4 and 4.5 any higher is really gonna hurt! Why don't I know who you are mate? I thought I knew every trials rider in Houghton!! We are getting paid whether we make it or not.... But I think every trials rider out there would like to lay claim to a world record or 2, it'll certainly be a career highlight for me... Ha, yeah I'm a little worried about the state of my steed at the mo, snapped my forks the same day that we filmed this vid.... Tarty order was sent in yesterday, all will be right in due time....

Why not come along and see me hurt myself : ) Drummond ps: All quoted heights and stats are from the official Guinness guidelines, if you feel they aren't correct then please post a link or some form of evidence for us to check out!!

Sounds good buddy, I miss the days when the hardest part of setting up an event was just finding enough mates to fill a field with obstacles! But the red tape is the most limiting factor these days, its all worth it in the end though so keep hacking a way at it! If you think I can help with anything then just inbox me and I'll do whatever I can.... Drummond

Sounds interesting, give me a shout anytime to discuss... Drummond

Heya all, Here's a link to our official images from the 3SIXTY Trials Jam last weekend, check it out: Link Drummond www.3sixty.me.uk

Well it would be easy to pull that off mate, we've been carting around ramps and trials sections for years, we've toured much larger operations before with our stunt show antics in the past... The problem is that the trials community just wont support such a project, their just isn't enough interest from riders to cover the costs never mind make any discernible profit... and the attendance figures wouldn't attract the required funding / support either.... I fear that trials is destined to be a spectacle hired in as a feature at events, basically demo teams performing demos.... their just isn't enough interest in bike trials to create a profitable stand alone event / tour / comp etc... A mixed event tour could be good though, maybe with moto trials and a few other cross over sports.... if the attendance and spectator numbers were high then sponsorship opportunities could make things viable.... Rant and mind vomit over! Drummond

Heya, www.speedrace.net is their own website... We are sponsored by them, check out the galleries on our site: www.3sixty.me.uk They don't have a UK importer at the mo but we are in the process of sorting that out, we are awaiting a price list for their 2011 range and once we have everything in place we will post up prices... If you see something you like on their site then drop me a mail and I'll source a price for you... Drummond www.3sixty.me.uk

Hi All, The event is just 2 weeks away and we have updated the FB event page to: Answer some FAQ's Offer directions to the venue Show payment information Issue event terms and conditions Hope everyone is looking forward to this as much as we are! Link We'll have a short teaser video out next weekend showing the final stages of the build... just to wet your appetites that little bit more... Drummond & the team at 3SIXTY

A nice write up was posted today on tribalzine.com covering 3SIXTY and the trials jam: Link The build is taking shape quickly with 3 more features added yesterday.... 2 weeks of solid graft ahead but everything is taking shape beautifully! Drummond

Here's a nice wee write up on 3SIXTY and the trials jam over at Tribalzine.com.... big thanks to Ben Swales: Linky Linkage! We built 3 new features yesterday at dynamix, everything is taking shape beautifully! Drummond

Cheers Rich... Looking forward to it mate... yeah we have a pro photographer coming and we'll be taking our own camcorder... I'm sure otherss will too so there will be plenty of footage taken Drummond I know Nick Manning is trying to fill his car with people to share the costs..... he's in Woking if thats any good to you?? Drummond

Ok no worries buddy, hope to see you there anyways... Drummond

Hey Ali.... Yes the ramps will be open and usable... The place is big pretty big, the trials area in the vid is only a third of the floor space that will be used on the day.... if you want to get some filming done then inbox me and we can sort a session with just you either the day before or after the Jam?? Hope you can make it, its gonna be a great day.... Drummond

Nice vid...Amazing riding....Well Filmed....However I think there's a fantastic 3 to 4 minute video in there, maybe with fewer messy manuals (at the beginning) or arty shots... Just my opinion... I dont want to take any kudos away from what was still a very nice vid : ) Well Done...

Knut has some amazing gaps and ups in this vid but his style is sooo manic...! Looks like he devoured a breakfast of pro plus drenched in Redbull and snorted a Whiz brunch before heading out to film!!!! Still I wish I had that much energy and spring....

Hi all, Here's a few images of Brett Penfold riding one of our local spots near Sunderland, the North East has some amazing riding spots to visit.... You can see Brett and a bunch of other pro riders at this event: Click me! Hope you like the pics...
