backpacks are crap.

they flap about all over the place on jumps… give me a sweaty back.. weigh me down.. and generally mean im not as manouverable…!!

theyre staying ;)

end.

tis a great place to ride and have a play..

theres a couple of fun downhill courses built into the woods near the viaduct now.. along with some insane BMX trails and a couple of crazilly massive mountain bike jumps!

it is indeed mrcrushrider! :D

any excuse to post these pics.. :lol:

another 456! :D

This one!!

looks good.. though the style does remind me of charge bikes for some reason..!

stick with the SLR! youll get better results in the long run :)

the lack of manual focus is the only bit that drives me a bit mad sometimes with compacts..
but i guess thats the price you pay for being able to put your camera in your pocket!

LOVE my (now discontinued and replaced by poorer cameras) Fuji F30. so much so i paid £80 to have it repaired rather than get a new camera when it broke after 4 years or so last month..

wasnt a fan of my girlfriends Canon IXUS when i borrowed that to take to San Francisco though. The pictures seemed very ‘flat’ and lifeless in comparison, and the low light performance was shocking! might have to give that software a go and see if it perks the IXUS up a bit.

Thanks guys :D

all taken with a compact FujiFilm F30 too!

some great pics on this thread.. keep them coming!

a few from my recent travels… :)

i got my copy from WHsmiths on saturday… (been drooling over miss contents page lady ever since :wink: )

been loving the articles on old school downhill bikes in Dirt… the sunn radical was a gorgeous bike..!

the back in the day articles in this months singletrack are fantastic too…!

as for the small typeface in dirt… i quite like getting up close and having to move the page around to read things at different angles! (though admitedly it can be tricky to read sometimes!!)

bit of old school retroness.. :D

soon to be fitted with some old school judy DH’s as the bombers weigh about 4000 tonnes and need new springs!!

Stainburn for me!

was quite a short loop but had a giggle and it reminded me what ive been missing after not riding for a month or so! but boy am i unfit!!
