Bristol Today


Siders77

Recommended Posts

That pic of Peter (first one of the drop-gap) was pretty funny. Talk about savage drop-gap to bash action :D Someone didn't know it was that slippy down there (Y)

The video/pics from Fatmike should be cool, 'specially one clip of the Onzaboymark/Buy-All Wheelswap Development Program in effect :D

The ride was awesome though. Peter was riding pretty damn well, Janson did everything on anyone's bike who wasn't looking, I went on my arse on Peter's bike (f**king brakes...), Rowan appeared from nowhere then disappeared again, and...erm...we got told off and told the "Railway Man" would come get us for riding the tracks :D

Was a great ride though, really enjoyed it.

In related news: I did not know that rail that everyone gaps by the steps at the waterfront was so f**king haggered :D That rail's got so many bashmarks it's unreal :)

Amazed it was dry today too. Pretty much stopped raining before I got there, people turned up and we rode til 7. Even Luis appeared, and Tic :deej:

Thanks to everyone who came though, freakin' ruled.

By the sounds of it Mark it was a great ride! I always enjoy Bristol rides, there so much fun as Bristol is sooo good to ride but quite often I find myself stnading and watching people. Not quite the same as riding with your mates in your home town but good to ride somewhere different with new people.

Gotta go Bristol again soon! and sidehop, your a bas***d for living so close to great riding as well (Y)

haha a few to many pics of people on that first wall? lol

But no, that pic of Peter doing that drop gap from the rounded fountain is impressive! Nice blurred background with rider pin sharp. Fluke or good camera skills? My guess is the first one :)

:deej:

Just 4 shots from today, taken in "Continuous" mode on Siders77's mobile. Surprisingly good quality, to be fair! Straight forward pedal-up to backwheel, like 50" or something like that? Dunno, couldn't remember what Fatmike said on the Sunday :(

No prizes for guessing the location :-

Ran into Rowan later on too, which was cool.

It is indeed! I can't remember what the thread was actually called but the colour scheme of his bike is real easy to recognize :P

Yeah - pretty much. :P

You can't just have the two rims & lace them up, the tyre would just blow them apart. :P You have to bolt/weld (bolting is a million times better) the two rims together.

Full topic about it Here.

Some cool pics Lee, nice one. Shame about the top ones, just me cocking up ups to manual...!

I really like the one of Peter doing that little down gap from the round thing, got the blur perfect. :) Shame about the composition of the rest of them. :P

Mike. :P
