Come Southend big boiii!!

As Nick said, try with a kick first, its how I first done it. If you try without a kick, then the slower you go, the harder it is. When you spin round try and keep your arms bent so when the rear comes to the swinging round, you can push down on the bars and it should send you rolling.

Just got a few new bits for the bike, thanks to Tarty . Its riding quite good so far, it feels quite flicky which is good and means I won't go down the 24" route like most people round this way . Been trying out smooth rim as well, I'm not really a fan as phat pads don't seem to hold as well as they would on a grind, so I'll take the grinder to the rim soon. I have been using the new TNN middleburn bash and I like it, it seems more tidier than the normal middleburn bash. Only downside is that it doesn't work with an echo external bb, unless you bodge a spacer in between the crank and the bb. What do you all think? The spec: Zoo pitbull 07 Echo urban forks Echo rims Hope pro2 rear Hope xc front Monty ti bars Simtra stem Echo external bb Middleburn cranks with TNN steel bash 16tooth Rear maggy with phat pads and Echo 2 bolt booster Hope mono trial front

If you want, there is nothing left of them and they fell out the backings. They only lasted like 2 months. They were heatsink yellows.

LOL I only uploaded it on to the internet so I could delete it off the computer. I didn't think it would be forum worthy. Too "tgs" lool. My new one will be so much better than this. Cheers for the comments though

I hope we are on this Saturday, the suspense is killing me.

I approve of that Jim. It also rides quite nicely. I may steal it a bit more

Beasty headtube! That is a mad sick bike. Are you going to ride this one

LMAO!!!!! Goodluck with the holes

Me and Dave in action. I think this picture was in the radio times. I'm not sure as someone cut it out for me lol.

Hmm good call, I think that is on my to get list now

I was using a KHE before this chain and it was fine, well apart from stiff links and snapping the spacers in te centre and the fact I had to use a grinder to get the chain off lool. Its a shame the middleburn 16th bashes are all one piece

Got a brand new chain, fitted it as you normally would. But it doesn't seem to be sitting on the teeth on the front chain ring. The chain links seem to be too long for it and won't sit on. It just skips along the top of the teeth. Does this mean I need a new bash or a different chain? The chain is a trialtech kmc kool and its on a middleburn super pro bash. Heres some pictures to help. Cheers.

Someone handed me a picture that was cut out from the radio times for Britain's got Talent. Cool

That would have originally been my trick to do, but the spare bike didn't have a quick release.

There are some videos of the show where I'm riding my zoo. The tensioner snapped on stage though, I want to see if someone caught that on camera lool.

When are you going to put together the video Dave?

You have left me heart broken lol. There will eventually be some things on youtube that we have recorded. That will be uploaded soon.

Hey all. Thinkbikes have been quite busy this month doing some work with the Gadget Show, but live at the NEC in Birmingham. Tonight on channel 5 there should be some highlights of what we done throughout the time we was there performing. We done 9 shows in total infront of a full audience of 2000+ and the cameras. The show was a sold out event. All the shows we done while we were there we had such possitive responces from the crowd, the presenters and the other acts. The first day there was a slip up with my bike as it broke on stage mid performance. With a little help from Darren Hill we managed to steal a bike from him so the shows could be completed. If anyone went to The Gadget Show live on any of the 3 days it was on, let us know. We have quite a few pictures and there are a few videos on youtube that we will put on here soon. The other 2 acts that were at the show were light jugglers and some robot dancers. It was hard work doing 3 shows a day and riding for a full 5minutes trying to remember a routine. There was a few small riding errors but in trials I guess it happens lol. Even if you haven't watched The Gadget Show before, make sure tonight you watch it, channel 5 at 8pm. We hear rumours that highlights from the event will be shown, so we thought we could let you know our what we have achieved for the trials community. If you want to know anything in more detail, just let us know. Cheers, Andy

Yeah it was definatly Andrei Burton.

Yeah we are on it soon, but we are not sure when. BUT if you watch channel 5 from 8 o'clock you may see us on the Gadget Show I'll let Dave go into detail.

Well I know that Thinkbikes were in the Birmingham audition, I'm not sure on the other teams. I missed it last night anyway lol.

Ok I'm sorry you must have been on TV quite a bit. You seem to know allot.

I DON'T KNOW, I'M NOT PSYCHIC!!!! Oh right, well I didn't watch it. It may be on in a few weeks then, we did get filmed a fair bit. We were in the last 300, so there is still a chance of being shown. It just gives people an excuse to watch it now. Also Ben Slinger and Danny Butler made it as far as us, so look out for them as well.

Yeah I think Thinkbikes are on when it comes to the Birmingham auditions. The show is so set up that its annoying, I saw flawless in the waiting room and most of the camera crew are just with them, I know that they are in the finals The show is not fair, if you use allot of equipment in making your act good you have no chance on getting through to the live stages just because of setting up times and packing away......... well that was one excuse why we didn't get through.
