Nice pics Ad, getting better and better. Maybe try resizing the images all to something like 640 wide/640 high. Saves having to click a resized one, and means the portrait ones can be seen in full. They'll also appear a bit sharper.

Check down the left hand side of the pic.

Cheers guys! Thought I'd whack up the original pic of Tart: ^ Original ^ Edited Took quite a while to photoshop the wheel, rocks & sky back in, but it was too nice-a picture to let go!

Awesome! Nice one Matt, brought back memories of good times they did. Also, lmfao at my riding back then!

Damn france! Am looking forward to watching this when I get back. What happened on it?

Fackinell. I'm not even 'still up' I've been to bed, had 3 hours sleep, and now I'm up, showered, and just getting my things ready for a 6:30 flight to paris. Seems so backwards to imagine going to bed at this time!

Hey guys. Got bored so booked some flights to Paris tomorrow morning. If anyone's out there, then please give me a shout! Would love to ride some of the awesome spots I've not ridden since Nopogo Days in '04! Give me a ring or text on 00447870191382 if you're up for it. Mike.

f**k it, I'm gonna go to paris for a few days instead. Soz!

Sounds like me and Mr Burrows will be up for this. Stan, easiest car parking is just off Broad St. Google Earth Coords: 52°28'29.71"N, 1°54'46.91"W. See y'all then. Mike.

Hey guys. Me & Max-T are coming down tomorrow for a lil' ride. Anyone else out?

Nah, some were with the Tokina 10-17mm fisheye, and some with the Sigma 15mm 2.8 fisheye. Mike.

Hey guys. Thought I may aswell stick up a few photos I've not been bothered to upload! These're from the Rotchdale national, and a couple of recent rides in Bristol. In no order: Danko Ko. John Shrewsbury Matt Burrows Max-T Cheers to Graham for taking this pic of me! (Under very strict guidance of course ) Rich Pearson Rich P again Max Tart Max. Cheers guys.

Go for a Maxxis 2.35" UST High Roller. Under 900g, and I very rarely pinch mine. They've got a much thicker sidewall than the single ply tyres. That and a standard tube does me brilliantly - only downside is the tyres are a bit pricier.

Awesome! Nice one.

Haha, I filmed that, was trying desperately not to laugh - piss funny!

Argh, fackin shat myself last night. Driving back from Malvern to Worcester at about 10, there's a biiig roundabout I usually take at 60, and get an awesome slide round. Did as normal, slide commenced, then I see/feel that a bloody drain's burst and the roundabout is soaked! Took some legendary driving to sort that kerfuffle out! Bloody impressed myself with how I handled it. </random>

Just setting off now, cyas there!

Why does the topic say the 18th, but everyone's saying wednesday? Either way I'm down with going tomorrow (Thursday, 18th)

I thought all the english are banned next year?

Sounds like people haven't ridden this one, Rav, Aside from the change in cassette carrier material, what're the other differences?

That makes absolutely no sense! It's not like you're gonna have to get the tyres re-balanced or anything just 'cause you've got new suspension fitted.

Erm Si, they can fine you £2,500 per tyre! £195 is bloody good! (Was £60 per tyre, £60 court costs and £15 for something else)

Woo. Got off with 3 points and a £195 fine. Not bad I think.

L-Day today!

Is there a streaming video link anywhere yet?
