I went to southsea skateparks re-opening and he was there, some tiny kid on skates got hit by a bike and while everyone was like "owwww" he was straight down the ramp checking the kid was ok, wiped away his tears, reassured him, carryed him away made sure someone was looking after the poor kid then got back up the ramp and blew everyones minds, how you can call him a fanny without even meeting the kid is stupid, "because you dont like how he comes across in his videos" - grow up. Mark Webb is a sicko representing the UK.

Pedals on the balls of your feet not the middle, and drop your heels to help with your balance. Try to never pull your brake. You can any manual back up or back down if you focus. Be relaxed in your knees and ankles. Look forwards. Don't pull your brake. Don't yank lean. Don't pull your brake you can do it with your legs. Don't go slow. Took me about 2 years to learn on and off. Had the manual dream then it just clicked

The whole thing I liked about tripping was going to different places riding with different (sound) people in their home towns, getting shown the spots and then moving on to your next stop off to do the same. Last year just didnt work out because the same "core" wasn't there because of dickheads putting people off of coming. For me there is a huge list I can write of all the people I love to ride with. Guess next year we could call them all up and invite them rather than just throwing it up on the forum. But without the forum organizing 80+ people would be hard lol edit: I recon we could all try to sort going to barca or something on a fully organised english invasion next year that would be savage and wouldn't cost that much, £70 flights, £8 a night hostel, £30 per person for mini busses to get us about and a van for the bikes.

Just to play devils advocate: If you didn't want your bike to get damaged then you shouldn't have lent the bike to him, simples. When he took the bike you didn't have a brand new rear rim, spokes, tyre and tube. So just buy the hubshell (there not that much) yourself and be happy that you've got a brand new back end setup and your mate payed for most of it.

Is that DJB's bike? Looks tidy too heavy though, your only a skinny runt

Kits big enough to lift you that high off the ground should have brakes, harness's and a deadline?

Although the vid has a fair ammount of dislikes I made this ages ago and some people have said it helps, I've never been able to sidehop my right way which is why i got stuck at about 43" so learn to go to your right side. Take off when you think your about to hit the wall is the main nack.

Teenage Angst Communal Agony Aunt Thread
Simpson replied to Has anyone seen my shoe?'s topic in Chit Chat
SHE DOESN'T LIKE YOU! On a serious note you have to be so careful how you approach this. There is no "right" or "wrong" way -
Just ride and enjoy yourself, when you 1st start to fall off you brain will subconsciously do what it thinks is best in a millisecond you can't control that. However as you fall off more you will adapt your technique to minimize pain. Its just common sense. Pulling your front brake till you endo over the front would be hysterical to watch you do, I mean if you do it please film it because I will piss myself. But will probably be painful and counterproductive to your development on a bike as it will dent your confidence (or your front teeth) for when you pull an endo the next time, cos you will be bricking it. For going over the back on a manual - if your learning to manual, and "falling off by putting 1 foot down then your not going fast enough. So go faster and if your coming off the back (which is a lot later than you would think) suck your knees in and push your front down, which will lower the front and you wont come off. (or you can pull your rear brake) Just make sure you step back and put 2 feet down and the same time then you can "run it out", if you put one foot down you will just "spin" that way and fall off.

It generally creaks when the bearings go a bit. Whack it out using the tool shown above. (depends what BB you have though) pull out the BB, copper grease up all moving parts whack back in happy days If the creaks really bad though it wont do much. When you pedal does it "feel" smooth.

100% agree. I don't want to talk about it but I'll give you the jist, my uncle killed himself when he had 2 kids in my grans house and left her to find him. I lost my cousin. His Mum lost her son. His kids lost there father. I know a few people who have killed themselves and I think its a very weak and selfish thing to do. You can always turn your life around but its your job to do it. You can find when things are down theres no one for you, but at the end of the day when all the chips are down you have to be the one who has your back. Killing yourself is the easy way out.

Death grip manuals are the only way to learn, practice by not even covering your brake or you get sloppy and lame. My personal opinion.
