Hey fella's. Just got woken up by some neighbors who were passing by my house/car on the drive, they saw some people who were breaking into one of my Scirocco's. Smashed the small part of the door window & got in. They'd got the ipod, had pulled the head unit out, and had clearly got half the wires un-done before they saw these people, and scarpered. (I'm bloody glad there's an ISO bock, 3 pairs of RCA cables, ipod cable, microphone cable, seperate power/earth cables, etc all to undo. ) Was a big Mitsubishi Pickup, I got the reg number (YT52AVB if anyone else see's it around :wink2:), and have spoken with the police. Just got off the phone with them and they "might" have caught them.. Awaiting more info now. (Hence why I'm sat here typing this to pass the time) Mike.

Grinding A Dob Rim....can't Get It Sharp!

Just count yourself lucky it's lasted a month. -
Good job Ad. Some crackers in there! Gotta love the Pashley Camel.

Wow. To be honest, I'm not quite sure where to begin. Spelling? Dozens of spelling and grammar mistakes, as well as some things which just make no sense. Fair enough, trying to promote your riding, yet; "Ultimate ambition: Marry Rachel" Don't really think that's needed on there to be honest mate. "I now stand at proberly one off the best street riders in the uk" That doesn't even make sense even if it were true. I'm sure if you read the content on there, and made edits accordingly, it would at least read better.

Just got back - was a cracking weekend. Definately think we got lucky with the weather - woke up to pouring rain Saturday, but after 9am it didn't rain once, so although a little wet and muddy, we didn't get wet - which was nice! Today was beautiful though, started out a bit grey, but had blue skies all afternoon. Really enjoyed both days, the UCI was a good fun, and definitely a welcome addition to the British scene, and the comp today was thoroughly enjoyable. As always, thanks to everyone who made it possible, and also to everyone who took part. Mike. (Red 26" Winner. )

That was mint Matt, really enjoyed that - nice one. Loved the editing with the bit at the train tracks! Lol @ my manual to 'whoops', and will's (just about) bollard gap.

Awesome - crackin' job matt. Gotta love my skiing!
-
Lmfao yeah, well funny. Sorry Vince. Partz, I've done the pics, where's the vid!!
-
Hey guys. Didn't really get much of a chance to take many pics this year, so whipped the camera out for a little bit on the Sunday. Enjoy. So yeah, feel free to caption the hell out of them. The best caption may even win a prize. Mike.

Nice one, had I not destroyed my back in Bristol yesterday, I would've been there. I'm still in bed now so... Well done to Ash winning elite, no congrats to Ad though, he should be at least doing red, if not yellow! hehe Hopefully see y'all at the next one. Mike.

Really enjoyed that - which I think the vid's meant to be about. A lot of the lines in there half the forum could've done, but they were well filmed, well edited, and performed really well. Not to mention the fact there were some bloomin' beasty lines in there. What's more, the music didn't make me want to kill myself.
-
Put bluntly - if this is all trials is, I would have never started.
-
You can sidehop high and gap far. Btw, if falling off a wall once you're "up there" counts, why do you insist on cutting nearly every clip just before you come back off when you don't make it? Last clip was pretty funny though!
-
Whatever date, I'd suggest make it on a Saturday, as it makes life that much easier for those people who need to take the train. Sounds good either way!

Lets be honest, anyone who can't get bloody snail cams to work deserves a wet fish-slap. Having never used cams before, when I got my Adamant (stock btw), I just whacked it on and had it going straight away. They never slip, nor cause me any grief. Ditched tensioners over 2 1/2 years ago, when I got my fresh product frame I designed with eccentric dropouts, and have never looked back. Not having to worry about snapping hangers just makes riding so much simpler. Unless you need gears, there really is no need to have vertical dropouts - however whether it's 116 or 135mm just depends on what frame it is you want. I ended up with 116 because I like the Adamant frames. Had the choice of king, profile, various front/rear freewheels and went with a profile as it was the most reliable and cost effective solution for me. Lets face it - the only hubs you can't get for 116 are Hopes, and that's soon to change anyway... Mech hangers/sprung/fixed tensioners are old, redundant technology, and deserve no place in todays trials scene*. *Unless you want gears.

Best ride I ever had.

Fail. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....&hl=scammer http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....&hl=scammer http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....&hl=scammer http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....&hl=scammer That took all of 10 seconds, just one search term too, I'm sure there're many others. You've got what's due beau, so just sort out everything else that needs to be sorted out. Edit to Joe: It at least enables beau to utilise the PM facility, which gives people another way of contacting him. I assume he will be blacklisted once the issues are sorted.

Yeah nice one Steve, been waiting for this for a while, turned out great. Clee Hill is a really great place, not necessarily the greatest spot ever to ride, but has quite a powerful ambience about it - something which I think you portrayed really well in the vid.

True, but the car will probably break down. We'll see...
