New job going well – loads to learn and gonna involve loads of travelling

Rolex GMT Master 2 here. Do it!

Although I didn't buy it but inherited it when my Bro died. My prized posession.

Cheers :)

Hopefully sometime soon.

Starting my new job tomorrow so not sure what the next few weeks hold for me :(

Great coach, complete value for money!

I'm arranging a group session with some mates I was so impressed with my previous one!

Avatar in 3D – its the film that you'll regret not seeing at the cinema most in the future

For me LTHT is about going slower but having as much fun.

You need so much more skill to ride a HT as fast as a FS on the same terrain – I've hardly used my FS since getting a HT as it made my trails too easy.

I'm not sure that a FS is needed on 90% of the trails in the UK. I think everyone would benefit from taking a step back from technology and improving their skills – spending a few grand on a bike versus a few hundred on skills – I know I would spend my money on the later as it is much more worth it in the long run.

JonEdwards – loving the BFe – would love to hear more about it. you got an email I can email you some Q's on?

What have you tried out so far?

Slorider – out of order! Since when has Britan's flag been something that means someone is only a supporter of the BNP!!!!

Yeah – how the **** does he hold that! He is an animal! He's has so much strength and balance!

Just watched the vid – JESUS CHRIST!!! Those last couple of runs are nuts!!!!

Awesome!

How can you say a Roady is an all rounder – Admittedly Lance is awesome – Natural talent riding a bike comes into it (along with spending a lot of time on a bike) but if you take this out Fitness and strength plus technical ability when riding are also very important. So I'd say most Dh'ers or BMX'ers beat roadie and XC types hands down as their technical ability surpasses the "racer types" and fitness and strength is equal if not greater

Positive attitude – its the way forward.

My mate was telling me about a book I should read called the "Sickening Mind" – which proves a lot about the effect of positive attitude on illness. Can't wait to read it.

You're a real inspiration – All the best!

Go down your local park and practice slalom – just popping into turns round an imaginary set of cones – set your sights on a point and turn round it – do it so often that it becomes automatic.

The challenge after that is remembering which bike you are on and how to corner!

I love my Soul – does everything I want it too.

FACT!

Lyons – I've not been called that before ;) Good to meet you too. Hope your wrist is back to normal soon – that jump line is calling you!!!

I had a mentally good day – proper buzzing – a few things clicked into place today and felt awesome!!!

Bumley – Can I come?

Me at Woburn on Saturday

I met Bumley at Woburn yesterday, had a nice ride and chips in the pub after! ;)

Been to Borovets three times – had a great time everytime, but don't expect too much.

Defo check the snow before booking though

Oooh, the Alps – one place I really want to ride but can't see it happening this year due to money.

Cannock??

We were at Woburn yesterday (OK slightly further) and I was surprised at how nice the trails were – a bit squirmy under pressure in places but generally great riding.

Why does it has to be a FS?

My wife used to sell them and thought they were ace! When we have some "spare" money we'll be getting one.

Check out the Bern helmets too…

Bern Unlimited

Lovely!

Damn – just when I thought I was learning!!! ;)

Tom Justice is the NUTTS!! That guy is mental to watch – just flows round the park and makes it look easy and graceful.

I'd be up for this, plus I'm at Corby this Tuesday :)

Allan – Sounds like you had a great day.

I used to think I could pump but now I can (but not as well as I'd like) and it really adds to my riding of natural trails. Bit of free speed, especially on bermed corners or swoopy trails – one of the best feelings in the world!! :) Plus it really helps with other techniques

It is easy once you understand what has to be done (I.e. How easy it is technically) – my challenge is being confident enough in my head that I can do it.

Jedi has shown me that most skills such as clearing those drops are actually quite straight forward

Big grins all round today!! :)

Glue and a staple gun!

im a retard witha jetwash! – FACT. ;)

Lock – no worries, Tuesday is the day though – you coming?

[Bemused]How can you say that is an adult sized BMX?[/Bemused]

The only think similar to a BMX other than it is a bike is the fact its a singlespeed

:wink:

Its all about commitment. Take it at your own pace but push your boundaries.

Learn to drop in a quarter, ride out of one and most importantly (for a skill you will enjoy out on the MTB) learn to pump properly. If you can do that after an hour then good on you!

Have fun!

Bugger off you pseudo bucolic weather event, some of us have work to do!

Yeah, but some of us have some riding to do too!

Was on holiday but thought I'd work and take tomorrow off instead as its supposed to be sunny

Yeah – what's with the snow forecast!

@ Jedi – Yeah Corby Tuesday / Woburn Saturday!!! :)

I do love the fact the bike comes back cleaner than when I went out ;)

Just noticed it looks like there is still green over in Ireland – but I suppose it is the Emerald Isle!

Looks great – but…

OH MY GOD – You've hardly got any snow at all!!!!

I went out yesterday and it was axle deep in most places which made those parts almost unrideable!!! :o
