Congratulations, you now win the award for being the worlds biggest mug. EVER.

As many of you will be aware a lot of people went to London yesterday for a ride. I got a fair bit of footage and made a short video. Its not the most varied of videos as i only got the camera out at 3 different occasions but anyway: http://tv.isg.si/site/?q=filebrowser/JoeElding Left click that and then right click/save as London 23apr06.wmv please bare in mind that it is the first video I've edited properly before you comment. joe

I enjoyed it, Ive got both animals and politics on DVD and can still watch it all the way through without getting bored. Pretty good episode IMO sorta different to the newer ones I thought?

about 20-30. Damon made the big st. pauls gap and backhopped the 50'' wall at shell. I got loads of footage so expect a video out soon. Also ben travis fell in twice trying the big st pauls gap.

If you go around the rim at a constant speed with a faster grinder it'll be a worse grind than with a slower grinder. If you think about it the thing about the grind that makes the brake work better the is the way you put little tiny divots in the rim levaving a sharp edge. If you have a fast grinder then it will hit the rim more times per second meaning that the sharp edge's of the divot will be a lot closer together. Its like a bed of nails, If you have the nails really close together(fast grind) so it is effectively a flat surface, you can lie on it no problems, yet if you have say 10 evenly spaced out nails(slow grind, yes I know a bit of an exageration)the it will hurt. It's all because of pressure. So in conclusion. Fast grinder=move around the rim fast slow grinder=move around the rim slower I would say fast is about 13k rpm and slow is about 10-11k rpm

coourse map Only westminster, which we dont normally ride anyway, and we'll only have to cross the route once which is to get to st pauls. trust it'll be fine

A few updates: Ko-bike forks Plaz pads/majic pads Zoo cranks KHE collapse chain Sorry for the poor use of flash

If you go on your uni I will throw it in the thames. come on your python!

The ashton 'team' are all having black frames/gold parts.

I'll come, adrian said he would come if his stuff comes, my video cam came today so I can make a video.

Team boss Ian Thomas said: "Joe needs two cracking matches to avoid going down to reserve and he is capable of doing it if everything is right

It'll be fine no worries, the only place where we need to cross the route is to get to st. pauls. normally we got there at about 2-3o clock, as the race starts at 9:45 there won't be that many people around st. pauls then as it is around mile 24, the fast ones will have finished and the slow ones will still be a good hour away. Anyway, theres enough places for us to ride south of the river without having to worry about any of that.

Whats it like for the whole hoppy hoppy natural style trials? As thats what I would ride if I got one, which after seeing those pictures is becoming more and more of a reality.

I am spartacus

I ride about 25-30 psi which I've been told is really hard by most mod riders, yet i prefer it.

That gap to the concrete slabs is so sketchy, did they not slip? Good pics mind.

What so him being dyslexic means that he cant use spellcheck and that he has to post shit?

Best.Facial expressions.Ever

Are you really as stupid as you act? I mean seriously you must be what, 22? I'm 14 and can string together a sentance better than you. I mean do you have some sort of mental problem that means you demand attention, because all you do on here is make shit topic's and speak out your ass? Gawd sake.

Hasn't Peddy quit though?

nah, but you get kicked off on ~15mins

Nothing, the calipers f**ked so ive got the lever lying around.

Lean back more and dont put your back brake on until the front wheels the right hieght, makes it smoother and also easier if you have to gap off or something.

Ive got an '05 lever you can have for £15? black and grey/silver

IF hes sorted this could I also get one off someone? Ive beengiven a phone off my dads gf but it needs an o2 simcard. cheers boys
