Also don't forget, clocks change sunday morning so you got an extra hour to get ready, or if you like an extra hour to ride :P :D Thanks for making me aware of that Oli! That means that if I go out in town on Saturday night like planned I will have an extra hour in bed to recover so Im not hanging so bad when driving to wherever I ride on Sunday (It looks like Bristol though :P ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash-Kennard Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Haha all you sun lovers missed an ace ride. It rained for like an hour then it was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmt_oli Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 (edited) yeah you lot, all bailing out as it was a bit damp! lol (Y) Was a cool ride- wil upload pics in a mo. (the few i have) EDIT: Pics are up! HERE. Edited October 30, 2005 by nmt_oli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted October 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Nice pics oli (Y) It was a fun ride. Richard (the one on the unicycle) is crazy! We met the two most niceist police men. All they said to as was 'dont ride on the road without lights' and 'dont hit anyone'. No bollocking like 'thats a £40 fine! and a day in prison'.

Loosemoose` Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 (edited) What surprised me the most about the police was their attitude. They didn't tell us to do anything, they just said "Be careful riding home without lights if you're using the roads" and "When you're doing your hopping, make sure there's nobody nearby". It was kind of like a pair of sensible suggestion cops. Nice people. The ride itself was ace, headed out after it dried up and there was enough (but sometimes not quite enough, as my arm will now attest) grip for uni trials. Took forever to find the group but when I did we had some ace riding and hit some cool spots. I finally managed to do something I thought was impressive (a 6'4" sidehop gap to pedalgrab, with an (approx) 8 inch drop) as well. The walls outside asda are wicked. Impressive riding from all the rest of the group as well, and I've already spotted some 'in an ideal world' lines that i'd like to hit when I've got a bit more experience. Cool pics ollie, some might need a bit of photoshop tweakage but I'm still impressed by the quality of those phone pics. As far as film goes its not going to be a problem, cos i've been informed my new camera will arrive in the next couple of days, ready for the next ride. All in all a great day, not cold, not sunny, not too wet. Next time i'll get my arse in gear and get out of bed for the 11am start. Loose.

nmt_oli Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 You are RUDE on that uni rich, you pulled some stuff today that i have never seen done on a uni (Y) . The phone pics are actually bigger, there sized down for that site. If theres good light, and i get the timing right, and can let the autofocus set properly on the rider beofre they do the move i can get a good shot, but as soon as one of those is out, it goes blurry or whatever, but still, for a phone, its damn good.

Loosemoose` Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 I didn't really warm up properly (apart from riding around looking for you guys), and I was trying stuff I hadn't attempted before, or hadn't attempted in a long while (like scaling that rock wall, transfering to bin to 4ft drop). I haven't done systematic long drops much before, and that 4+ft drop while clearing over the bench impressed me (and scared me shitless too, I need to work on that). If I keep riding with you guys I can see my skills improving dramatically over the next 6 months. Loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmt_oli Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 If I keep riding with you guys I can see my skills improving dramatically over the next 6 months. Riding with others does that. Ive noticed a definate improvement in just 2 weeks! (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
