    I have went through the Paypal bit but all it seemed to do was send a message to the seller. Have I completed the correct part?

    Seller not replying now to my messages, I asked what address to return the camera.

    Cleland v Soper at Silverstone final race of the1992 BTCC. Truly epic.

    Cleland v Mansel 1998 Donington

    Not a big sport fan but do enjoy bits. But I loved this on TV. Watched BTCC at Knockhill a few times motor sport is sometimes better on TV than picking a corner on the track IMO/

    With all the ‘Crown Estate’ getting nervous / being sued comments coming up it’s probably worth noting that the Crown Estate is a government department, not a mysterious royal entity.

    Were there any successful attempts to sue CE?

    As a vegan I can’t lick them
    Vegans can lick raw animals, right?

    Not if they have honey on them

    They are being collected later today, happy ending for all.

    Dont believe me try it and see
    Please don’t believe him OP. And film it

    As a vegan I can’t lick them, but as my six year old son needs to decide for himself what goes in his mouth (food) and loves being filmed doing dumb things he s an option

    Was watching clips of sovereign citizen fails or similar on YouTube and links to clips about this program popped up.

    One of the employees is a fan of “animal movies” and not the Babe/Lassie type and another is mates with a serial killer.Levi somebody- nice

    What did you do to the wheels to covert to tubeless?

    Son has a Hotrock 20 and it is really heavy. Carbon bars and stem of Ebay for less the £20. As you mentioned the stock ones are mega heavy. Bought a 27.2 carbon seatpost but is a bit long so may fit it when he grows a bit.

    Look on IMDB.com for each movie and check the Parents guide for how many boobs & bums you can enjoy or how many times the word asshole is used.

    James Bond example below, more scud than i can remember 8O

    Sex & Nudity
    6/10

    A man and a woman are shown having sex in bed

    Bond and a woman have sex beneath a heavy fur sheet beside a fireplace. He rises and we see his bare chest.

    The opening sequence includes colored in naked women dancing.

    Several photographs of topless women posted inside a submarine are visible (usually blurred out in the TV broadcasts).

    Bond and a woman fall into bed while kissing mildly and removing the woman’s dress (no nudity)

    Bond and a woman have sex in bed in an escape pod

    A woman is seen nude in a shower (slightly blurred)

    Colleague had an argument with his wife, she spat in his face and he reacted angrily and called her a few less than pleasant names.

    She has scratched his neck as she reacted badly to the name calling and texted him today to say he provoked her and he should know better.

    I feel a bit of **** for making a joke about his neck as he shrugged and said it happens regularly. Maybe early menopause he thinks.

    If you have a garmin with you, you could download some GPX files from Strava. The Red and blue are pretty boring especially on such a big bike. Much better if you can get to some of the off piste stuff. Blue descent is pretty good fun, but not really worth the rest of the trail.. That said its my local so I have perhaps flogged the marked trails to boredom over the years. If i wanted a quick fix without the hassle of getting lost I would do as others have said and pedal up the push up and smash some downhill runs in.

    I have a garmin 520- can I use that?

    Sheepskull’s definitely part of the DH. It’s not a hard one, to be fair, but it’s not on the red route.

    Probably didn’t help with my unclipping skills, when I tried to ride unclipped I kept clipping back in and am useless at quickly unclipping

    Hi, I have had the Capra a few months but work and family have taken over my weekends so only had a few outings on it.

    The climbing was easy enough just didn’t seem as effortless as the Alpine. I guess I convinced myself I needed a modern bike with big wheels and am now disappointed. But it must be me, all the positive reviews can’t be wrong. Maybe I just need to get out more on it.

    If Sheepskull is DH run I feel better about my riding ability

    Thanks all. I arrived much later than I planned. On the pedals up the Blue. And came down what I thought was a XC red.Sheepskull and something else To many roots for me. Still getting used to being clipped in and came off few time stil connected.

    Loved the bit just up from the car park with all the jumps. Managed To get air clipped in only to then fall over at the bottom trying to unclip.

    Will be going back as it didn’t take long back to Reading, but I’ll not being doing the root runs without knee, elbow pads and full face helmet again. Or maybe put the flat pedals back on.

    Not convinced by the mountain goat attributes of the Capra. I have Bos suspension front and rear, My old 2010 Alpine 160 with small wheels and a CB air and Fox 36s felt like it could climb most hills.

    Well that’s good to know as had some plans to do some flying and footage there! Had seen a group racing in the forest but was taped off so maybe a planned event??

    That was in Crowethorne woods area I think and was not on the Crown Estate.

    eddiebaby – Member
    Maybe you should check this out. It does apply to you anywhere, not just Swinley.

    What part do you mean? I am aware of the Drone code and not flying near builings and 50m from people. But following the code you can even fly in the parks in London that are not Crown Estate and you follow the code. Or so I have been told. Genuine question regarding the anywhere part.

    Well, I thought it was pretty good. I think I may have a slight man-crush on Ant Middleton.

    Was he the guy who slapped Jason Cundy?

    And I was unaware it was illegal to film/fly.
    Phantom 3 Standard running litchi app.
    So what do they say is illegal?

    Picked up a DJI Mavic Pro at Christmas but still haven’t got round to filming any Mountain Biking but have plans

    An example so far…

    POSTED 8 HOURS AGO # REPORT-POST

    Nice shots & smooth video, if I hadnt bought so many batterys for my PS3 I would have upgraded to the Mavic.

    its illegal to fly/film on Crown Estate. I didnt research much before I took the drone to Swinley. There is a bit on the Windsor Estate Rc flying club :roll: about asking for permission to fly at Windsor and this requirement extends to Swinley Forest.

    Not had the door kicked down yet or asked to take down the video from youtube.

    This one from Swinley- its way to long and was the first time I had flown since the summer.

    And I was unaware it was illegal to film/fly.
    Phantom 3 Standard running litchi app.

    And this short non bike one. No idea why my son thought throwing his cap at the drone was a good idea. He manage to avoid having his face slashed by the rotors and no longer use the drone to take low height pictures.

    Commode chair

    Wife wanted a old style chair to sit and feed the baby. Bought one on ebay, I collected it in the van left it in the living room when i went to work next day. She called me upset that Id left a **** toilet in the living room. She got our neighbor to put in the drive for me to take to the dump. Someone stole it before I returned home saving me a trip.

    I have had a bike rack for a CRV rear wheel by our wheelie bins for two weeks now and unfortunately no one has stolen it.
