  1. I ride in shoes like this f**king mint, had a gnarly bail, where i was dragged about 50metres with the top of the shoes grazing along the floor, and they didnt even rip through. Mint great grip.
  2. He needs to get that X up a lil bit further, but good effort.
  3. I was in the car with him and it was about 100 metres down the road, up on the cerb under a tree and in the dark. The road was fully lit etc. although I take your point for sure.
  4. Yea he spoke to a traffic cop today and he basically said something along the same lines, the only way they could do it is if they read the plate and recorded it, which is very unlikley so he said not to worry LOLZ I have been driving with you Ash the road opens up into a 40 limit but theyv'e extended the 30 limit because of a bus stop.
  5. *His* fingers crossed. And why I'm asking is because I didn't think mobile hand-held cameras, with 2 police sitting inside the car could clock your speed and put it through the database?
  6. A friend of mine just exited a roundabout at 55mph in a 30 to see 2 policemen in a patrol car facing him with a mobile speed camera out. They didn't batt an eyelid didnt turn round or look etc. Just a normal car not a van. Can they do anything now or has my friend had a lucky escape?
  7. As far as I'm aware its more their familys, hermance is family with koxx and the cousts are obiously family with coustellier, so they get payed keep to just be beasts and ride their bikes really well.
  8. You need to look seriously into your riding style if your doing catwalks and pedal hops and complaining about sore wrists and elbows, you sure your doing it right? Because its not unusual for a rider to ride for over 2 hours a day everyday. Are you sure its just not muscle ache where you are straining your muscles trying too hard? Personally I don't think sus is the way to go.
  9. Buying second hand is the way really, it means you can pick up a dirt cheap bike, but it will have a super spec, and depriciate less if he decides to sell. All the Onza full builds on www.tartybikes.com and this year it looks like theyv'e got it right! The spec's are pretty good and the prices are very reasonable, however most riders, will upgrade the Onza's as they go along to make them easier to ride, and this can get pretty expensive. I would say look out on here, as some bargin bikes come up! I'll be selling my top spec KO bike for about £300 soon, but there are loads of bikes out there which will suit your grandson. I would stay away from that bike you listed. Look for a good quality frame (ie. the frames on tarty), the most durable brands are the echo, zoo, adamant, etc. With companys like koxx and monty selling light weight competition frames which genrally tend to be a bit snap happy) What size is he looking at getting a mod bike 20" or a stock bike 26" EDIT: and how much money has he got to spend?
  10. Don't try riding at your own house party to drunk to try and impress the women, it ends in a broken bench press bench, and your pride in shatters.
  11. 2 minutes? 2 seconds more like.
  12. Dont do anything with it, profiles are expensive and effort to service and unreliable at the best of times, stop being a nonse.
  13. Because they were trying to build a bike you could actually ride not marvel at the weight of?
  14. I run Tensile Uci cranks, with a 16tooth bash ring. Syncro 90 by 12 degree stem. Fire-eye bars. And 16-12 gearing.
  15. But to compare feet^2 to meteres^2, then its only X 3.28??? Too early for me to be thinking lol
  16. That was tip top, loved it.
  17. I ran 3 pawls for ages without a skip Haha are you mentally retarded or did you just run round in circles for 2 hours before making that post?
  18. Well don't bother trying to improve if thats how often your going to ride. I don't mean that as a total "burn" or whatever, but in the first 2 months of my buying a trials bike I wasn't off of it.
  19. I have run them on sharp grinds and they are amazing. But ever since i got my inspired (4-8 months ago) been on a dead grind, no tar.
  20. No no no either way its mental, would never see me up anything, especially a rail that high up!
  21. Did you do the 2nd pic to drop or blunt?
  22. 3.28 feet in a metre, so 3.28 X 2 = £6.58 per metre square. £6.58 X 60702.846 = £3,298,210.67 (edit per anum) I guess thats for warehouse space when most of the place will be open fields but still, a lot of money.
