Inspired Dave Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Finally home! Beast ride today (Y). Some seriously sick stuff by a number of riders....Matt Staples...monster!!! Damon went big as ever, and a sweet drop gap over the steps. So many good riders out, was awesome. Great to start putting faces to names and msn conversation. Also sweet to meet new people:), topped off an excellent day really! All in all, sick riding and great meeting loads of riders for the first time, definitely made the 5+ hours of travelling worthwhile! Hopefully see you all again in the summer, if not before!! Dave (davecz1@hotmail.com if anyone I met today fancies saying hi on msn! :unsure:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 The ride was good for how large it was (Y) apart from getting chucked off striaght away after getting to st puals i think it was pretty decent :( huge stuff goin on from damian or was it dean? (one who came with adam and dave) and from dave marshall who just needs to disappear :P lol... Matt staples.... as always.. :unsure: :P had a great time.. knowing/getting to know most of the people that turned up was very rewarding indeeed ← if i am correct in thinking u mean DAMON WATSON from hull, one of the most awesome riders going, been riding less than two years, yes TWO years, glad you guys had a good ride wish i could have made it, aberdeen is around 12-14 hours drive, haaha cheers ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Best bit, seeing the look on his face (dave i think?) when doing that rail ride with a 10ft drop to the river and nearly losing his balence. (Hoooooly craaaaaap!!!!) came to mind, But he had it dialed, so massive respect. ← Hehe, that was VERY scary for a second there! I'm quite glad James (666ers) made us move on cos it was going to go wrong somewhen! Littleharrys- my computer won't let me in to see the pics...is it just me? Laters peeps Dave aka 'Action Man' :unsure: :( (Y) :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha that was more of a 15-18ft drop really, how many times did you have to check you could do it action man? (sorry) :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt staples.... as always.. ← Damon ;) Close enough, i'll let you off :P Haha, yeah Dave's landed himself a bit of a 'deal' from ourselves now, and Matt needs a good bumming. Video soon :D" All I can say about the dayis OUCH ← Haha, new shins for Lee please :P (Or shinnies) Was a wicked day, cheers everyone - and like most people have said, was good to put faces to names and all that. Trials is cool - didn't speak to any nobheads all day, everyone's sound, don't get that in any other sport! Wouldn't mind coming down again sometime, but of a mission, but worth it! Got to bed before midnight, just, haha. Cheers for the gallery Harry! I've got a few pics as well which i'll bash up later. Uni work can wait :P My MSN addy is mmar@lboro.ac.uk... but I ma ynot be able to chat much seeing as theres always summat to do here! But feel free to add me :D Cheers!

Littleharrys Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 (edited) Confused by this cos I used the link on my post and it works? If you get the new messenger 7, add me to you list of contacts and you can look at them that way. Littleharrys@hotmail.com It is msn being rubbish, keep trying and you can get in, its a bit random though, sorry not my fault. Harry.

I met him in London before and he took loads of pics and sent them to me after getting them processed. He's going to do the same again. Unfortunately it's not a digital camera so I'll pick some of the best and scan them in to post on T-F. Will keep you posted. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrashZen Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 That was my first group ride in the UK. Definitely impressive and very good ;) atmosphere...thanks for everyone who turned up, and Chai and others for the guided tour of the zones along south bank... :D Will definitely come back...though I broke a chain ring??? (with the crank bash plate still there) :D yeah a quarter of it just disappeared somewhere along the river... Need to get that bike properly sorted for more trials...

I just wish we never stay so long at shell centre. Next time I rekon a new meeting place should be arranged further towards liverpool street/tower bridge/tate/st pauls area as theres loads of riding that way.

trials_pimp Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 shame about my stack late in the day ha you took your time. Shell centre, 1st few hours of the day. I bent my rim, and lost alot of blood and skin from my left leg. But hey, its fun at the end of the day, I really like meeting at the shell centre. Its very easy to get to, and has alot to ride, most stuff there you wouldnt want to do at the end of the day when you are knakered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
