Lovely pup billy…loving the snoozing with the big dog pic. Expect she’s driving the big one to distraction when awake?

She’s driving me to distraction. 🙂

She’s obviously used to being able to pull her siblings ears and jump around on her mother. He’s been brilliant though. You’ve got to trust them to an extent to set their own order in the house but when she’s so tiny and he’s so big you need eyes in the back of your head.

Loving this thread, some beauties in there.

Nice find alpin. Enjoyed that

7 weeks old. Got her Saturday. Sleep all the time?! Ha, It goes 1 hour sleep followed by 1 hour rampage at the moment.

Snatched this pic so it’s a bit poor but a cut one…

Can’t be too friendly in the hood

Put some oil on your discs,pads and levers. You’ll smoke yer mates.

Yeah I’m still bored after Taff sent me back to the 90s

Thumbs up Taff. Back in an hour. Sure I’ve got a Kranked or NWD I’ve not watched somewhere too…

It will be loamy but should be rad so you’ll be stoked.

Make sure you video it

Inside, Room for 4 at a squeeze

Put some new pads in this morning.

Aching legs and heavy, cold rain aren’t the best motivators to see if they’re fixed. They look like they’re fixed

Nice wall

Bikes too. I’d like to try one

On the right, right handed, above. I try not to crash.

Not very mobile left wrist dictated it.

What AlexSimon said up there^

Don’t forget to smile…like this

That fence needs painting

Normally windows media 11 is it? .wmv I think . I’m useless unless I’m looking at it. This tends to keep videos at a reasonable size. Think there’s a 2 gig limit on youtube.

The editing of the video for the whole of the timeline as I mentioned above is done on the video tab at the left hand side if you click on a small green icon called Track FX. Have a play with some of the different settings.

Feel free to pick my brains. Not much on today. I’m just getting used to it myself. Playing around with different settings/transitions, chopping up audio tracks. I don’t go mad with gopro videos because they’re never going to look too slick.

For the faster wide angle stuff put the gopro on r3(720 50fps) setting. I use it when mounted under the stem, looking through the forks.

For a taller shot put the gopro on the r4 (960)setting. I use it when on top of my lid or on a chest mount.

The r4 setting gives a colder looking finished video so I normally sharpen it up and change the colours a bit in Vegas. You can do this on the Track properties or other (hard to say without Vegas in front of me).

Also I don’t know how familiar you are with Vegas? When you open a new project or even mid way through you can go into project properties and tell it to match them to the original video file, so no need to adjust frame rates/definition manually.

I wouldn’t bother going up to r5 (1080) on the gopro but then I’ve got a crappy computer which struggles to process 720 videos and watching them back on youtube would be impossible

This afternoon ride in Calder Valley went…

Sunny and warm
Bike out
3 miles from home first big climb..hailstorm,gales,pedalling down steep hills,hailstorm every big uphill,wanted to quit a few times. Brain freeze
Home
Sunny and warm

I only use sh1t shifter by Hope. Yeah I know other brands are available

Yeah it’s all Hope stuff. Think I might just try a different pair of pads. It’s worrying when you first set off somewhere. Makes me think I’ve not tightened something back up.

No worries. Looked at it before myself.

First rally I went to…So that Celica is eye candy to me.

I’ve got some sweet video footage needs converting to digi.

Waiting for a stage to start, 50+ strangers lining the sides, all holding snowballs behind our backs, all whistling 10 green bottles as unsuspecting spectators walked down the stage to their frosty doom. Ahh the memories

No. Suppose for a tenner I’d be able to dismiss the pads, concentrate on the rotor. Rotor’s pretty new though

Bought some mid December. They were £3 more. Can’t recommend them enough.

SPDs only become a problem on the loose/wet roots etc when you start to think ‘I’m clipped in, how will I get out…crash’

When they feel natural they’re ace.

As I said too many pages back I still use both.

As for DH’lers most of the top guys will make a decision which to take based on how much pedalling a DH course demands/how tacky it is etc.

They don’t just have benefits uphill, I can use them to pedal away on the flat for an hour to get to some area of radness where I feel fresh to start putting some effort in.

Calderdale. Was a bit of a quarrying area, village is built on stoney ground.

Feels like it sometimes. Apparantly there’s frequent small quakes in the area. Might have contributed.

Might have it set on r4 (920def?) setting for a better, taller chesty mounted view.

Not sure about much regarding this case but I do know one thing that speaks volumes…He was on trial before they knew there were no more survivors.

Throwing the individual under the corporate bus doesn’t seem to have worked

classic

It wouldn’t crack there shirley. Magnifying glass’ll tell you.

For it to crack there it would have to have been impacted rather than a stress crack buttscratcherrr bbbbbuttttscratcherrrrr

Put one of those bullet hole stickers over it and bang it on classifieds

I was looking at the death-coming-soon crack above it

Thanks everyone.

Think the wording of the house insurance implies it will cover it if it’s definitely not as a result of subsidence.

On with trying to get some free legal advice as regards responsibility and someone’s coming out to try and temp secure it.

Just hope it doesn’t bucket with snow and there’s no mini quakes any time soon.

Hit it with a hammer. You’ll know then

It’s a reasonable question Martin. I’d make the same assumption.

The house is that old nobody seems to know for sure. The wall appears to run the full length of the house which has been built up to it which would indicate wall came first. It’s a difficult situation which could be more easily solved had the land owner been approachable.

Yeah I’m struggling to get any more info. I’ve only got revised deeds for the house after the original ones were lost in a fire at the office of the firm that were holding them.

I’ve a little experience in the building trade and it’s very difficult to see if the wall is moving due to poor construction or the subsidence of the land. Or even to say for definite that the land is subsiding as it’s covered in scrub and brambles etc

Might have to come to an agreement with the neighbour to go 50/50 with the expense of deconstruction and reconstruction but this would annoy me a bit as 1. I don’t have the money and 2. The guy that owns the land washes his greedy hands of any responsibility when things on it go wrong. For instance I rebuilt a dry stone wall (much smaller) for the neighbour at the other side a couple of years back, at the neighbour’s expense because the land owner just ignored his correspondences even though this one was definitely his responsibility to put right..

I was surprised at the quality of the image of the moon I can get on my DSLR with 300mm lens while videoing on the crop setting live through my TV.

Anyway…carry on….

I like a bit of super-retard foot out-ness when it comes to trail centres or following faster people mind. Then it’s back to flats.

Yes but then you tighten them up more and more each ride as you get used to them.

As for there being little advantage, by being able to pull up you’ll be using different muscles/ the same muscles in different ways. I can go a lot further with them
