I think over all Roam & Seasons were definitive moments for me everything else up to LifeCycles was just copies of Roam and Season IMO

LifeCycles was another definitive moment for me, it brought back the ART IMO and something different the only issue I have with it and it is the ONLY issue was maybe too much ART and not enough riding but that’s subjective I suppose.

Over all,
Roam
Season
LifeCycles

Are some of the best shot video/film work I’ve seen full stop :D

I’d go to York as well, great location just get hotel as close to city walls as possible. For less of a walk back from the pubs, city center eateries. :-)

FFS just set the camera you have to sports mode as blurry kids seem to be the issue. That will save you learning about shutter speeds etc…

IF you WANT a DSLR get a 550D I’ve used them for professional jobs without issue. Best camera for the money IMO.
Throw images from 550D and 7D’s in Lightroom day in and day out and you cannot tell the difference between them (I shoot both). :D

I know this is totally unhealthy and not a drink but if I feel like crap after a ride I eat a good part of (full pack) of Maryland Cookies and feel better not sure if its the fat/sugar rush or what, but does the trick with a couple of hot brews :D

Just out of interest is there a map of the new trails online ? I live in Swinton so this is VERY local but never been there before, may not be able to make Sunday though :?

^^^ This
I’ve used firearms off roads before now without issue.

cheers gents :-)

Wet bike (if not already)with hose
Spray with Muck-Off
Sit and have brew
Go back into dark, cold garden and hose down.
Few hours later or next day(once bike is dry) oil / lube

Simples :D

Got done the same place never looked at a map just paid up, **** doing a bloody course 1 x sp30 does not effect insurace

I’ve suffered from Moderate hypothermia and the best thing you can do is get them £%CKing moving off the hill.

I know all I wanted to do was rest and sit down my speech was slurred and as I look back now I was in the poo if I had been on my own I may not have made it. If you notice slurred speech ever the person your speaking to is in serious trouble and so help them out!

Well done OP :-)

LOL I wish I could work from home on Fridays but I’d have to bring several hundred tons of machinery with me I doubt I’d get it in the garden never mind the house :D

I always though a cheap light one would be two cables* (* insert your setup here) plus a RC car chassis with a pan and tilt mount hanging off it thus then allow you to alter the speed of the camera on the cables* to follow the riders. :-)

Your going to have to be pretty close to your riders with a gopro BTW otherwise they will be dot in the frame :-)

It depends on what weight you are going to be lifting on it really, if your lifting a camera person then you will need cable!Plus a $!th load of safety gear etc…….
For a small gopro setup a lot less, there are issues with physics distance and weight of cable over long runs you will need to take into account on big setups.

But in using metal cable be bloody careful when loading it as if it goes it will literally take peoples heads off (hence the physics calculations!)

For me

120mm FS for the trails
160 mm DH guilty pleasure :-)
100mm HT for commuting and gf’s weekend bike

Officially though there is only 2 the gf does not know about the DH as it’s kept at my parents place lol :D

If I’ve sorted out a replacement vehicle by then I’ll be there just look for the bloke on the eye wateringly bright green bike :-)

Used to use V8’s but now using Superstar Nano Thru Pins one my FS bikes my commuter hard tail still has V8’s on though :-)

Trojan safety boots then Karrimor walking shoe for commute home :-)

I feel for you mate, all i did was come in piss wet through from my commute last night and put things on news paper to dry and my gf went off her head the news paper print will apparently come off on the carpet, news to me :roll:

To be fair if i did that I think I’d give her a heart attack (runs off to check life insurance policy) :D

Electronic Engineer good prospects and great pay (in comparison to what I’m on).

Then work in the defense industry and be out of the country as often as I can I have a mate who works on ” top secret” who has just come back from working in OZ lucky b£&£*&ard! :-)

Cheers guys for the map :D
The path that I’ve found is a good run is the Witton Weavers Way from the top of Belmont Res “Old Mans Hill” to “Cadshaw” very smooth and very fast in places only problem is from Cadshaw it’s road back :(

Oh and it’s a bit of a climb to start with ripped up be MX bikes :cry:

geordiemick00 where is that path at 2.27 on the video? Any pointer on a map? :-)

Been up there pretty recently did San M but lot’s of big ruts to avoid but there is a nice run from the top of Belmont Res to Bolton Road thats a hell of a run fast and smooth once you get to the top of the hill :-)
No video as yet though :wink:
San Marino the other week

Hi I’m looking for similar wheels at present and heard so many stories about the Navara props I’d steer well clear.
I’m currently looking at L200’s :-)

Until the beginning of the year I was doing the Swinton(Worsley) to Sale run everyday for work and it drove me nuts Then I got the bike.

Road from Swinton to Keloggs then Canal all the way to work felt better, got home faster some nights. 25 mins in good traffic by van 4o mins on the bike some nights it took over an hour and that was knowing all the cut through. LOL
I’m now living in Sale and have a 13 min ride to and from work :D

If i was buying a 7D id want 12 month warrenty and buy new to be honest, as the 2 I@ve bought both needed attension within 12 months

Cheers guys yup its genuine no ambulance chasing here, it was a big hit wrote off my van and I’m suffering pretty badly with it.
I’m more pi$$ off with the time i’ll have to have off the bike than the van TBH. :(

LOL it will be a new van first it was quiet a hit 8O

Cheers I’m off to the Doc’s on Monday (1st place they had availble :( ) will speak to him the only thing is I don’t think they understand what we actually do on the bike half the time :roll:

I’ve gone 4×4 to van and love it the heigher ride positions in both IMO make you feel much less tired on long runs than in a car I would never go back to standard car now :-)

Ok Well I’ve done it myself dead easy really download the standard form fill it out and all banks etc have a web site go there under contact us find there PPI address then post your claim out of 5 claims I’ve had 3 pay out a total of 10K + this includes two new bike treats in the process lol.

:D

Fasthost’s been with them 5 years running various web sites for customers without any issues :-)

More lights to make the back ground white, love the closeups BTW did a stint doing product photography 50 – 60 products a day plus descriptions and loading them onto the CMS character building is all I can say 8O

I think it was the 3rd or 4th when we were half way up the Old Man of Coniston (walking) and it was Pi$$ing down and she still had a smile on her face :D And was happy to carry on.
We turned round, as she was bloody frozen though.

7″ Single Jump! Van Halen

Rivi and a bit of the Witton Weavers Way hopefully, just hope the weather holds out this time last time got all the way up and the mist rolled in and then it pi$$ down :roll:

Kids :-)

Band – Rainbow

Cheers guys just ordered a couple off Fleebay for a couple of quid nothing more anoying than blasting down some rough stuff than having to slow down to push the bloody thing back on my head.

If I’m still on rough I tend to have to grip the saddle with my knees while I remove a hand from the handle bars to push them up. 8O :-)

Hi Ewan the tunnel is for if your setting the the traps in the outdoors etc you legally have to set them in tunnels to stop dogs, cats, kids :D getting caught in them.

Should be ok in an enclosed space in your loft though.

The traps I mentioned do already have chains attached those your looking at seem ok but i would still attach them to something, but it’s not me who will be crawling in lot space trying to catch a well pi$$ed off rat with one leg caught in a trap so the choice is yours 8O

One thing when going to empy to traps give them a prod with something other than your finger first just to make sure there dead, 8O You would be supprised with what they can survive go for Fenn Mk 4’s traps wise, and in a loft space are fine but legally any where else would need to be place in a tunnel of sorts.

Make sure you nail the traps chain down well so they cannot go walk about in them as well.

Killed 100’s in my time as a gamekeeper still gave me the creeps BTW ALWAYS wash your hands after touching them or areas where they have been.
