  15. Hey guys I spoke to Steve yesterday and made him aware of the topic, he said that all outstanding orders were posted the other day and he is working hard to ensure sufficient supplies and a rapid service once again. Lets hope it's all sorted as his products really do rock!i've been using them for the last 4/5 years.

  17. whats shoebury like? anyone got any pictures?
  18. Might have to push him off a cliff at shipley on sunday! he's getting way to good! haha! see you sunday guys, looking forward to seeing his usual never give in style.
  19. hmm intresting, Trials doesn't have the money or sponsorship backing to pull something like that off I don't think. Theres probably only around 4-5 riders in the whole world who could make a living riding just comps to be honest and that is risky, one injury and your screwed. Very few riders are on full time wages from a sponsor to. Therefore other riders must do demonstrations etc just to make their living, they are less likely to push themselves and get injured as again it means lost money. The window for making money is small as well with most riders making their money in the summer. unfortunately it comes down to money in all cases I think. Although it would be cool to see, I think it would be difficult to get the top riders in the world to commit without the cash. Mark as for comp riding surely you do the most efficient/ suitable way of doing something? which means that people will probably do things in th same way? Although i'm sure if you watch some of the top riders more closely you'll see massive differences in the way that they do things.
  20. haha that lad is vaclav kolar! lol was probably 16 there he's been silly good for years, moved up to the world elite from cadet
  21. Think im gunna have to get a new frame now, everyone has one! actually wait i wont the bike is awesome hahaha! 17:14 but we were able to get the more popular 18:15 ratio to work how?
