Haha yeah its all good now, it took about 4 months in total before I could start climbing fully again. They never said what happened, just 'meh' pretty much! Waterproofing would definitely make things better. I used to wrap it in a bin bag while I had a shower but this got annoying. Maybe an exterior coating like gore-tex as you said could work, but it'd probably be expensive? Good project though! sounds very promising

I has a story... Arrived at A&E in Chesterfield, March a few years ago after falling in the peak district. I was X-rayed and it looked like this: Because the bone had only displaced by less than 50%, no surgery was needed (no pins, plates etc) I was told to come back in the next day, but logistical issues meant I had to go into Swansea hospital instead. I was given the temporary super heavy plaster of paris full-arm cast and sent home. Went into Swansea hospital armed with a copy of my Xray's to show them. I showed them but they said they needed to take more incase the bone had moved since. They took them and it was fine, so they kindly removed my heavy cast and gave me a new full-arm cast in blue. I was told to come back in a week for the same routine, however I actually had to go back to the isle of wight as I was on a year in industry there, so I was given my Xrays again and set off again. A week later I went into the hospital and explained the history. I told the doctor I was instructed to get a check-up to see if the bone had moved. He examined the previous Xrays and told me that 'it'd be ok still, just needs more time'. I asked him what if it had moved and he said it wouldnt because its been a week. I was told to come back in 5 weeks. So what did it look like after 5 weeks I hear you ask? Surely nearly there, or maybe even solid? Oh no. I was speechless when I saw these. The bone had clearly moved! I had never broken a bone before so I was pretty distraught as I assumed I couldn't climb again. Anyway I had lived with a full-arm cast for the last 5 weeks - most annoying thing ever was having a shower. Waterproof cast covers are a bit sketch to be honest, but a waterproof cast would be handy. Anyway I was sent away and told back to come in 2 weeks, but now I had this: I returned after 2 weeks and the xrays were similar to before but more filled in in the 'corner' and the crack was filled. I was liberated from a cast completely nearly 8 weeks after breaking it. Wearing a cast was so uncomfortable and awkward, some easy things were impossible to do, while some tricky things were still do-able. Epilogue On my first day back in work with my full-arm cast I was greeted by this: My manager had asked the guys in the workshop to build this so I could still make and carry the tea

Think the older gen has moved on and stopped talking about trials. They still ride trials though.

Cost? Try the la sportiva futura, they'll give you more pedal response Sorry I just enjoy lurking in the forum...

Surely BMX/street comps exist? Just enter one of those? An actual trials comp brakeless would be disasterous to the rider...

So its more aimed at those with a practical interest in train mechanics and repairs rather than being a mechanical engineer (as in design, stress test, FE, project management etc.) ? Im graduating with my Masters in Mech Eng this year, would consider network rail but I don't think what you've described is aimed at myself.

Far from a great thing...Skier gets avalanched and buried... https://vimeo.com/6581009 He gets dug out by his friends though I liked the related one more im afraid http://youtu.be/_l9YqeuFhWs

Very swish man.. Also, boobs on the related video.

Street and natural riding have always had a segragation among the trials community. That is a fact. Another fact is there are riders who hate natural riding and riders who hate street riding. As mentioned street riders are usually 'bred' as a result of accessibility - The street is on most peoples doorstep while a decent natty riding spot isnt always close for everyone. In my own naivity I forget this regularly, as I take stunning natural spots such as lake ogwen for granted as Im so close to it. Due to this convienience of street (and the likes of danny mac) Id say the vast majority of trials riders in the UK are solely street riders. Whilst this doesn't matter or mean anything as you shouldn't care what others ride, it is a shame when people who actually have the chance to ride some great natural spots choose not to for convienience. It is their choice to, but I can still find/still shown new riding spots in ogwen after 8 years. To me street is just convienience. I can have just as much fun in either setting, but would probably prefer the quiet surrounds of a natural setting where Im not hassled by CSO's every 20 minutes.
