Yep. Rad. Went to the album launch a couple of months back.

That is also very sad…

Sorry Malvern, that looks horrific.

EASY. I have probably drank 10 pints this year. I look better. feel better and have more money. drinking is shit.

excellent Brekkie sanger!

Saint everything for the DH bike. Don’t need it at all. And a new damper for the fork.

pulling back on the bars.

Don’t do this. Manuals are done by pushing the bars forward and shifting your weight back to allow the bars to come up.
Just yanking them up pulls your weight forward so you”re more likely to nose-dive off the drop.

Well that’s not how I do manuals … Pushing the bars forward will push the front down too!?!? You wanna have straightish arms and snap into a manual and then control it with your hips and the back brake.

I run non tubeless kore something or other on my DH bike. Set up with gorilla tape and stans valves, doing jumps and drops of a decent size with no worries.

Fantastic Matt! Looks like a good day was had by all!

Ourmaninthenorth good choices!!! Especially like that shellac track.

And you can look at the chastity belts in that bloody weird shop hahahaha

You could just try a mattock. Makes light work of roots compared to a spade/pole/saws. Apart from the mini digger idea they all sound like much harder work than with a mattock.

Sadface

Yeah feeling much better still can’t lie on ‘that’ side yet, reckon another couple of weeks easily. Beginning to agree with the anti neck brace crowd.

I had an otb at revo about 4 weeks ago. Managed to completely style it out by clearing the bars with my feet and casually running down the trail. Only thing is I ran straight into a tree, ripping ligaments in my shoulder and raising my collarbone. Sick.

Yay!!! Wish I was there for this! Great competition, have been going there for 30 years. My folks live in kilmore and my dad does the commentary for the seafari in his down time.

Mint. Another 9 years would be nice!

I like all sorts of hardcore/punk/noise which can be considered pretty bad.
But that is awful even by my standards.

Have a listen to f*cked up and pissed jeans.

Tories planning to ruin our economy again before it’s even recovered. Nice one. Dicks.

I have a zee chainring barely used and some cable inners, you can have for Nowt. it’s little bits that end up costing the money you know ;)

doesn’t even look bad.

@ I_Ache that’s the chuffing spirit!

I’m so glad my lad has little interest his scooter… Hateful little things.

And he’s faster on his balance bike than all the other kids in their scooters.

Oh and yes feet flat on the floor with a slight bend at the knee, that way he can really put some power into his pushes.

If I had all the bits, the temptation would be too much for me. It’d be built.

Not me… Snapped my Rocket on the top tube and the down tube. Basically folded the thing in half.

Always loved these….

He’s a loon and a half alright… The other diamond back rider wrecked a wheel on the go pro step down.

I need a full on DH bike, a trail bike and a dirt jump bike… Can stick the rest.

Surely this all depends on the size and shape of your undercarriage??? I ride with people who for xc have the nose of their saddle pointing down because it keeps their back straight when climbing. To get me into the right position I have to have slightly nose up.

I like it dude. Good choice.

Learn to flat base the flat sections and go into them as fast as is possible.

On no account should you do this.

Do enlighten us?? Been riding 22 years. serves me and the people I ride with very well.

Lovely!
Well done that man.

Mine won’t let go of his stabilisers… They’re up as far as they go but are ultimately still useful. Going to have to bend them I guess. He’s ace on his balance bike and can pedal and get the bike up on two wheels but has a fit when I take them off.

Well done your lad.

Have they changed since 2013?

I used a front Post mount to post mount 203mm adaptor like this one….

Link…

In 203 flavour.

giving human names to inanimate objects is daft.

Yes it’s a faff having to do the bindings up whilst my mates on ski’s want to shoot off but to me it just feels like more fun.

Get some flow bindings… You can do them up while moving straight off the lifts… then its a bit of a faff waiting for the skiers to put the ski pole loops over their gloves

don’t do it. flows are the worst. proper bindings ARE better. and you can put them on whilst moving. infact theyre better because the stupid flappy highback on flows doesnt drag in the snow. terrible things. I first used flows over 20 years ago and they were as bad then as they are today. have tried modern ones very recently.
