  1. I'm stuck on level 1. (Y) I've clicked everything i can, in every order, and still nothing. :-
  2. All this over someone sharing a video they thought was good. God i love Trials-Forum sometimes. :blink: Wheres the love! :'(
  3. That would be a '04 XTP. The "XTP Headtube" you are reffering to, is only on the '05 and up. There is also a Bike Pics thread. Use that.
  4. And you get to see me. Everything to gain, nothing to lose. Except ass virginity possibly. :blink: I'm there for the london ride dude!
  5. MrMonkey gets a boner over himself. No one will ever understand MrMonkey, not even his own family will.
  6. "I'm riding the uk" is the hot topic at the moment. Interesting heh.
  7. MAGIC! >_< I'm glad someone still has a sense of humour on here. Good on you Ryan. Of course it will be hard, adjusting to any new frame is hard. Was hard adjusting from my T-Raptor to my Woodstock, because of the back end, yet there was only 15mm in it. As long as when you do adjust, you like it, the adjusting period doesn't matter.
  8. http://www.eengoedidee.nl/videoz/download....JtTM228AAAplKoo Common sense really is lacking. >_< So the video. Can you please pretend slow motion is an endangered species of bird, and not use it so damn often? >_< Some good riding, but if someone backwheels something, please film the whole wall, not the top, it could be a curb for all we know, or some super duper 67" wall. Don't film just the rider, film the object, AND the rider. Good effort otherwise.

  10. Its exactly the same as when you last posted. Why did you post it again?
  11. Maybe its a frame shaped like a ball? We shall never know!
  12. This is one of the MANY issues we have faced before. Lee tried for like 4 years in a row to get a park up and running, they threw it out every time. Theres so many factors you need to think of. I will list some of the ones i know of, but theres probably hundreds more. - Trials is a harsh sport, and everything will get damaged, a LOT more then a skatepark normally would. Therefore, upkeep, as well as health and safety (splinters, broken equipment) issues are greatly increased. - If theres a park in your town, or close to your town, then the police and/or general public now have a solid way to pull you in. As they can simply say "go to the local trials park", and theres nothing we do about it. Obviously this isn't a major issue, but still an issue none the less. - Getting bored of what you have is an issue, and the only solution is to make objects non fixed. This brings in a whole new set of problems, what with stealing, the cost needed to make the objects move-able, as well as durable, and the sharing of the move-able objects, and placement at any one given time. - Where. Trials isn't a big sport as it is, but the riders are so spread out, that a park in one place wouldn't really be enough. You could place one in london, with great public transport access, but try talking to the London council about that heh, or even finding space. (Y) I'm not having a go or anything Harry, but these are just some of the issues that a trials park has. Trials, will one day have its own park, and will be recognised as a growing and vibrant sport, but i really don't think we have got to that point yet. Also, for the police/public not being able to move us on, would be changing the law, a law which to be fair, would allow vandilism again, as at the end of the day, thats what trials is, or is looked upon as in most cases.
  13. Yey, i saw Portsmouth! Good stuff. Hell, i couldn't two wheel that rock ledge thing till not to long ago! :P Don't get me wrong, the Hans Ray frame is a good one, but have you looked at other frames? There are a bloody load these days, but just making sure you've had the full walk through, as trials, as you have noticed, has come a bloody long way since 1993. Hell, i wasn't even in England in 1993. (Y) Good stuff, nice to see people returning to the sport. :D
  14. Sadly not, i didn't have enough space on my hard drive. Even if they did, no one would be buying anything. :P Thanks for all the support everyone heh. (Y)

(N) (N) :( Had a good days ride too, but Lee and Bren are planning bad things for me at NASS. They keep bullying me too! You wait, NASS, tents and alcahol awaits you two! ^_^ Yeah Raub, could never afford it before, now i can. :P Hope to be passed and driving (a Fiat Uno :'( ) by christmas atleast. Rock on.

    Haha. I'm 18, somehow. Thank you everyone, and Sue! :o Lee. :) So many people to share my left over love with. Good stuff. I wasn't really looking forward to it, but got 600 odd quid so it can pay for all my driving lessons, my test, and my pass plus. Awesome stuff. :S Nope tank_rider, might go riding, but thats about it. :D

    My New Mod

    How are people so blind? Its there for a reason. :D
  22. Why do we require riding pics, as well as 3 different pictures of your bike whole, to see a broken bottom bracket? :D Its a common thing, my friends did the exact same thing. :) For some reason though, he blamed the cranks and got a new BB and cranks though. :) TheMunn, how is a bottom bracket attention to detail? :P

    Having not had a girlfriend for ages now (yes yes, awwww etc etc :P) i would have to go with girlfriend, riding, then sleep. If there was a big ride, i would always invite the girlfriend, do the whole Andy P thing. :D Respect your girl, and she will respect you. Sometimes riding will come first, sometimes girl, but compromise is where its at. However, get a girl that rides, and bam, kill two birds with one stone. :)

    Bt Ninjaaaa....

    Don't get me wrong, its always great to see innovation, but sadly, this is the wrong innovation. My chainstays are (for me) simply perfect, and thats 375mm. I know i'm always the one to have a go when people judge how something is going to ride over a picture, but i'm going to have to agree with Matt. I recon it would ride horrible. Would be like a pogostick, and because of the rider at an angle, its going to be so hoppy hoppy to keep it under control. I can obviously see its going to have some great advantages, and may even be super good once you get used to it, but it certainly isn't for me. Doesn't look all that nice either. That top tube is super wierd. :D
  25. Muahahahaha, die bitch! This site f**king rocks.
