ping me on email if you don’t want to share, I only want to know where it is

That’s fine,, but still where is it. I have no plan to do it as I’m a bit of a fair weather rider

I did think about changing to skiing but looking inot whats been put down it definetly seems like technique, i can say now that when i go onto my heel edge im curling my toes to do it, rather than pushing down on hy heels.

I went to Chatel this year and it was a lot better,, infact i managed 2 days without massive pain – but it still put me down quite a lot,, i do tend to ride heel edge a lot especially if im off piste,, heel edge is my most confident edge but again gives me the most pain so have to keep changing.

The only other issue i can across,which i think was more of a confidence issue was i was better on the red runs than i was on the blue, i found the blue pretty tight to turn on and found my back was always to the edge so it felt uncomfortable

I probably only do it 2 – 3 times a year in total so im always going to forget quite a bit once told

Iv tried to suck up the pain, but this is too much,, I’m not bad with pain at all – but this puts me down to the ground for a good 5 mins until my feet have settled down.

I do curl my toes up a fair bit

Difficult to answer this without you in front of me but lets hear all the following.

How much do you weigh? 15stone 10, 6ft 2.

What is your stance width. (not sure on this) I’m left foot forward

What angles are you riding (please tell me you’re not duck). All my friends ride both angled out however I like straight back and slight angle on the front

Are you putting your weight more on the front foot on the piste as opposed to rear in powder.

Are your knees bent sufficiently are you moving the weight impression toe to heel, rail to rail or just standing there letting it hppen?

Where exactly is the pain in your feet? Arches kill like crazy

Lots for you to consider and echo getting someone good to ride with you, be worth going to chamonix and having a days guiding with neil (macnab)

I have a local dryslope where i could get my lessons in shropshire however i vowed never to go back as i falling down on a dry slop smashes yours knees badly!

However if im thinking its just to improve technique can i get away with it at a dry slope or must it be a snow centre,, tamworth or chill factore

arches of my feet hurt, and also my shins

Back to the drawing board then will get a lesson and see if someone can sort me out

Yeh, i went through the lessons only the 3 needed to get me going

Gazebo sorted

Really? I thought this stuff was supposed to be solid.

I really like the Patriot, but i ideally need something which i can carry on my 650b,, but i wouldnt rule it out – looks like the only way i can get the spesh is if i sell my Whyte in full :(

Nope, no good – but nice website :)

No offence taken, to me its all good,, im just over thw moon the bike i have is sufficent and its just my toolishness thats made it harder. I have never set sag on anything i just ride it however,, but can see its something i must do,, will have to find a youtube video and follow that

Thanks, il have to alter my shocks just to get a bit more out the front suspension,, i over heard someone say run at 20psi in the later part of the day. At that point id been running at 50psi eek!! And i lost some nobbles clean off my tyres (hans damfs) so maybe a more suitable tyre. Any recommendations for tyres? Im going to bike park wales next

Thought id replied oops..its fine when pedalling, going through the gears is fine its just when im rolling. I have a shimano deore cassete probably about 3-4months old same with chain. I run a narrow wide ring up front

iv just gone on to tlky toaster website, not sure if i got the right thing – i put the maps on my Garmin but it isnt showing the public footpaths which i thought it would – where am i going wrong?

How do you get the Opencycle maps onto your garmin?

I think I like the idea of the rollers looking into it a bit more, the ones im looking at have no resistance on them – im thinking also I may save some wear on my tyres too :)

When i ride i always like to go out on my Whyte G150 becuase at somepoint during the ride i will come across something i want to jump/play on – it always happens! i want to use my my cyclocross for fitness but im struggling to find the time every night to have a 30min blast around so thinking a turbo trainer means i can at least keep up my fitness

i have CAADX cyclocross i was going to use on it

so with this one it looks like you have to change the tyre http://www.wiggle.co.uk/tacx-blue-motion-high-power-folding-magnetic-trainer/ can someone give me a steer to the ones i should be looking at?

Do you need a spare wheel? this has been mentioned to me also

Done there and ribbo

Thanks for the responses, nah im doing Dirt jumps – i do have an issue though that when i pull up, sometimes i completley shift my balance and end up landing sort of sidewards.

For me it was just frustrating yesterday, i was trying to go off a 4ft drop flat to slope and there was only a small run in so needed to pop the front end up to get the back wheel off, but doing this with my left foot forward i couldnt get enough pop up and ended up ducking the wheel before the back came off :(

Uplift essential? – as I plan to go today

Will I get in for tomorrow? 2 ppl

Done Done Done! Finally! Went to the garage no good, wouldnt work with the shrader valave adapter thingy and managed to break off the core (great start), ended up using a double barrelled footpump hands on the ceiling jobby and pumped the heck out of it and listen to it pop! On with sealant in, even got a good way to inject the sealant into the tyre, remove the core then use some coaxial cable, pull the inner out pefect fit for schrader and 1pt bottle :)

this is really hard, suffering with failure at the moment- tried the bottle thing, didnt work – probably material base – would a petrol garage air pump do the job?

So even in the dedicated camper van field its poor is that right?

are these them?

Anyone know a good place to get them from? any retail shops

Chubbyblokeinlycra Did you manage to find out which one it is? Just want to see if its right to hold put for

That’s great – let me know when you dig it out

Are you selling it? I’m Shropshire

The ground is flat no trees nothing blocking it, ground is good iv already dug down about a metre and its been fine. No clay :)

Got some, just need some tyres now and all done

haha, whats up with them?

eh, iv been through Costco- the one I posted is the one I like the best just wondering if anyone on here has any alternative
