Amazing.... I have just been replaying it for the last half an hour or so. . I cant even imagine being that good!

Hi John, thanks very much! It is handy to know that, I will endeavour to get my bike down here, probably when I return after Christmas though sadly. I will look up "Wing", Thanks again, Gareth

Hiya guys! I must admit I haven't really had anything to do with trials for quite some time, but I have suddenly got the urge to start again (not that I ever progressed past "beginner" anyway...). The only trouble is my bike is 200 miles away in North Wales (I have just moved to Cambridge), and it will be quite a hassle to get it down here to say the least. Are there any regular riders down here? Is there anywhere decent to ride that doesn't involve a car trip or a long ride (darn trials bikes are soo uncomfortable!) In particular I am living in one of the colleges so it would be great to meet any fellow students! Cheers, Gareth )

Same here! I have a wicked bike but only ride it for the equivalent of about an hour every two weeks! (if not less!) Kids having nice bikes doenst annoy me, I had a Cannondale when I was 11 - that I went halves on with my parents and rode for four hours everyday and all weekend. I saved for over two years every bit of money for that (including Xmas, two birthdays, £2.50 a week pocket money....) Gareth

That is an awesome frame..... one of the nicest I have seen...ever! Gareth

IRC, they are 27.2mm, however Clive said they actually fit 27.0mm better because the tubes are thicker than they should be or something... Gareth

I suffer with a sore back I have been off the bike for about three weeks and its still sore . I have had a sore back nearly constantly since I started trials just under a year ago. Im going to make a doctors apointment today. I just hope I dont have to give up trials, but I will if I have to for a decent back! Gareth

Yeah, Clive Leeson told me that if you buy 1000 or so frames from Taiwan etc you can get them for ~£25 each, thats painted and everything. So companies that do half price replacement etc still make money when someone breaks a frame! On the other hand he said that each Leeson frame has abour £70 of tubing, then he has to get it sprayed properly, and the logos, and all the time is takes to hand weld each one to an individuals prefered geometry... Gareth

Good work guys! Great stuff! I havent even entered a competition yet, I really should, I think it would be fun (but I probably wouldnt be able to get over any of the obstacles :$ ) Gareth

Well done to everyone that got what they wanted I did my A levels two years ago, but my girlfriend just got her results, AAA in maths, physics, chemistry, and AA in Psychology and Biology AS levels She is coming to join me at York uni in october! yay! Gareth

Hi I have just been out on a ride by myself today! Infact, every trials ride I have ever been on since last october when I started (bar one ride) I have been by myself. I only usually go out for around an hour or so, a couple of times a week but Im not bored yet. Sometimes I manage to persuade my girlfriend to watch which makes things more fun, as it gives me more confidence.Today I was riding in a deserted carpark behind a building, so I dont push it for obvious reasons! I need to meet up with some guys off the forum and go for a group ride as I think riding by myself is definately holding me back, I should be better for the time I have been riding! Gareth

Very nice video! I liked the clear, steady filming That backwards traffic effect was pretty subtle, but very cool. Make a full length video like that Gareth

oh my god harsh bail I cant blame him for making that noise, I know I would have been squealing also if that happened! :$ Gareth

I think caustic soda takes off anodising, but I have never done this myself so it would be wise to research further before pouring it over expensive parts! Gareth
