The expedition linked above often makes me wonder if their spirits had been crushed knowing they were 35 days late. Imagine it. I know the conditions made overland travel impossible and supplies ran out but a persons spirit can prolong his/her life.

Change the position of the cleet in the shoe and try again?

Adjust them so they’re a bit looser so you can get out in a flap til you get used to them and you can then spin like a machine

Epic.

I’m reading 90 Degrees North (Peter Fleming) at the moment. Heroes all of them.

Good to see there’s also a sense of humour in the Premier league

Let’s not get too serious

Tree looks healthy and wildlife is thriving.

Inspiring.

Your gf’s one in a million too by the sounds of it.

Life’s for living.

Your efforts deserve a better camera. All those people who buy the best kit and go nowhere with it should be reading this. Having said that conditions looked pretty much the worst possible for pics.

Good effort guys and sorry for your loss.

Loving this…

I’ll never understand the sort of person that wants to watch another human die. Don’t get it

That top one’s a winner

blah blah generalise blah

That guy is the definition of a box of frogs.

Wingsuit flight to double front flip.

I’d take 2 in medium if they’re made long, I’m gangly like that

Too cheap. Didn’y pay much less for my 2011 pro

Watched him in the x-trials in France lately. I watch biking of pretty much any description and I can safely say Tony Bou is one of the most impressive talents to ever throw his leg over a motorbicycle.

Ride with someone slightly ‘better’ than you is a good tip

Heard this morning. Such sad news. His achievements in enduro are immense.

R.I.P

I’d have nicked his disability badges then laughed every time I thought of his sorry arse having to walk 10 more paces into Tesco.

Seriously though where can I get that T-shirt??

EDIT You got a funeral to go to too talltom?

Where can I get that t shirt??

Then when they catch it they usually say ‘he does this all the time, must have thought you were a sheep’ at which point I lose a fraction of faith in humanity

If she’d have been going faster this thread wouldn’t exist

EDIT and what nickf said. What speed should I drive at when 2 vans are parked back to back and there are kids running up and down the kerb?

Happens to me all the time with sheepdogs.

My policy is if they know their dog does it and still don’t put it on a lead when I’m coming then it’s fair game to see how long the dog can keep up for

They get rid of tags and then this thread comes along…

Seriously, hope your Mrs gets her head around it soon.

Gravitysucks that is a pet hate. You are my new hero and have given me a fraction of hope for the future of the human race

I failed my first bike test because I was riding at 26/27 in a 30 zone in an absolute downpour on a friday aft at 1530, pavements were full of kids. Apparantly my speed/lack of could have beckoned a child to try cross in front. You can’t win.

People who don’t like their lot are even more of a pain in the arse on a Monday and Hartleys pineapple jam is so good when mixed into steaming hot rice pudding are my lessons for the day.

I usually tell them I only speak Polish

rab power stretch grip ones ftw

They’ve got a new way to do the bare look now. Isn’t down to the bone so it doesn’t need autosol’ing all the time. Had one in there last week. Looked good.

Matt black oviously picks up marks for fun and I’ve been told the glossier blacks are a bit high maintenance. Top tube on my apple green looks dull after a long wet gritty ride.

@ iDave

Disco black with the red fleck and a tub of Autoglym

I probably would’ve known Elf had been banned had I been on twitter.

He’s like that T1000 though…

I’m only messing. Each to their own. Enjoy

Binners don’t knock it. I hear d-list celebs post photos of what they’re eating and people like Danny Mac post links to adverts for their sponsors gear over and over and over. What’s not to like?

Then if you get bored you can read what some ‘celeb’ asks another ‘celeb’ in a secret spy type satisfying way (even though said celebs have each others mobile numbers and could have texted without blowing smoke up their own arses)

Have I missed anything?

EDIT – I did, I forgot lazy journos

Good stuff. Chest mount and no mud = winner.

Trails speed up and I get a chest infection, pants

Inspirational man/film

First watched it at 3am in intensive care.

Ride it like you stole it

Why isn’t this a sticky?

And let’s have a ‘Coming Events’ sticky please mods.

Didn’t see the ‘don’t want it for videos’ bit in your post.

If I were you I’d go to a shop, see how they differ in feel and menu navigation then make a decision. There doesn’t seem to be a bad buy on the market.

In other words what Shackleton said:)

If you buy a 550d, use the kit lense, stumble your way through rendering on Sony Vegas then let youtoob put it’s mark on quality then your videos will probably look similar to this…

No changes to track effects on Vegas or anything
