  1. I agree, Long videos are annoying. Fatmikes new one I think is perfect! Its not short like an advert, but not long enough to fall asleep. Ace! BUT there are times when you really want to show others whats happening. Such an example is the indoor bike battle we held. I made the video (over so many days :lol: ) But even at 10 minutes long I only fitted in half of the stuff that happened. I nearly forgot to put in Tim's one handed gaps (Y) So when Its like a big event then I can understand the need for long video. If its just a "me video" then there is no need for hours and hours. Uch making me feel tired now (Y) EDIT: Good topic wayne, 2 hours and 11 replies already (Y)
  2. haha I saw a CK hub skip twice today in about 30 minutes. Its not even 6 months old yet (Y) If you don't want a CK hub though (for whatever strange reason :S ) You could get a profile, but in reality for stock you may as well do as Div said and send any new CK hubs you get, to someone like fatmike or adam (Y)
  3. I use my favourite foot to squeak with my other foot vertical. I find myself like, pushing back with my foot, and pushing forwards with the bars like to try and snap the whole thing (Y) hard to explain sorry if thats confusing. But Im struggliing to get past 3 squeaks (Y)
  4. Im happy, I worked that out :P err yeah In my opinion they look alright, don't think they'll last but I guess you can't tell unless you've tried them. My personal feeling is that if tart are selling them, they must be ok :P and for £39 its not THAT bad
  5. You're in the same boat as me....Unlucky Basically You pick a course and ask them if they do a foundation course with it. Its suggested you do a sandwich course which means a year in industry too. The foundation course is usually and extra year at the start of the degree "getting you up to scratch" Ive not finished my UCAS form yet. Gonna do it tomoz cos Im a lazy f**k. Just don't tell swansea uni that :P EDIT: Forgot to say, My brothers in Loughbourough University which is pretty good apparently. Either that or Brunel

    Insert needle in here
  7. I think an "any other riding" sub-forum is a good idea, but to be honest isn't that what this sub-forum is for?
  8. I think Will arnold had a 180 front avid BB7 on the back (so a 203mm rear? :P ) He said it was absolutly amazing except it was a pain in the arse for sidehops cos he was right footed :P
  9. A matt black zona? Same product but £30 less :P
  10. Craig you can have my da-bomb and monty if you come up here and get it. Or you can get an XTP as they've said (Y) Ill ride on friday + might be able to avoid the gf for the saturday ride too >_< Someone phone me at 3:10 and tell me where they are ;)
  11. just dont go shadow conspiracy. Looks ace, and is soo adjustable but isn't designed for trials >_< Id just get another kool. Ask your LBS to fit it so that then you'll know if it is your chain tool or riding style that keeps snapping them
  12. As the topic says try to fit your life story into 10 lines. go. i cba with mine cos its depressing for me to think about it lol
  13. alternatively with a 21.5 tt PM if interested

    "Oh no, I'll save you! *cavalry charge"
  15. Im in the same position as you mate >_< I know the feeling, except my mother doesn't tell me straight that she's disappointed. I have 2 older brothers who are very intelligent, and ofcourse because Im from the same gene pool im intelligent too. Yeah.... you find the 100% guarantee of that for me and I might believe it. Yeah I opened my results and stared at E's D's and C's. It was a kinda horrible feeling for me cos it was the first time I felt I had failed. My GCSE results were pretty good so this came as quite a shock. I passed them all though, except when I told my dad he said "oh thats strange considering you didn't do any work"...thanks dad... The thing that pissed me off the most was they expected me to achieve glorious heights, but whether it was through their own ignorance or them trying to "encourage" me, they never accepted the fact that Im not as academic as my brothers Yeah i agree with that too. Especially in maths, no one cares if you can differentiate the sin wave. If you can add VAT onto something, I think you're sorted for life (Y) Your post was quite inspiring to be honest. At least your honest and not trying to say that you're someone else. I wouldn't change anything about my attitude, its what makes me me, and if someone doesn't like it then ah well, tough shizzle All I can say is, do what you want, but respect the wishes of your parents.
  16. Is that like the flatland "no brakes is more skilfull" thing? If it is I know where you're coming from.
  17. I know someone who's f**ked a hope trial up (Y) think he said it burst. Either way its f**ked now Id just say get an avid. they're cheaper than most discs and work pretty well. Should be getting mine sometime soon >_<
  18. XTP is a rather nice change :ermm: You could try a second hand one if yao zhi's aren't made anymore Also I have a zona zip (similar to python) and Im only 5 11" and its great for me :$

    Hurray for anti static
  20. Scott! I didn't know you were on tf. Im matt, i snapped toms chain on his leeson when he did the trials lesson? Anyway Will arnold did a video of some of the north wales lads. Search for "north wales lot" and you'll find it (Y) been a while since I've seen you ride too. We'll have to go round tudno sometime :( l8rz
  21. Yep I can do none of them :) I like one handed backwheelage at the mo :( and 180 sidehops but im real crap at them lol. They're not really useful either so i suggest focusing on what ali said (Y)
