  1. While i love kawi green I find the vertigo's green rather unflattering, go figure
  2. What are you talking about I named 4 specific venues and one general...
  3. According to pons Fuji reported his minder for having a foot in a section on friday, so got penalised 20 marks
  4. As heffergm says 800 is more for motocross, 710 for trials. 710 at 50:1 would be more than enough, 800 at 50:1 for a 50cc is definitely overkill.
  5. I did answer the question, keep up Fort william bangor newcastle anywhere in yorkshire hawkstone thats just 5 off the top of my head, all better venues than the current venue
  6. Anywhere but there. There are many great venues in the UK, with next to no man made crap. Who really wants to watch that? While i know some cant provide the provisions needed for a world championship, some can. Whatever happened to hawkstone?
  7. Dont think it would be much of a loss, terrible venue. Give our lads a ****ing chance and go to a venue representative of british terrain!!!!
  8. LHM is fine, cheap as chips too
  9. The need for floating discs is so that the outer rotor can expand due to heat without warping. On most bikes the front brakes get a lot hotter than the rear meaning there isnt a great need for a floating rear disc. This is how it is on most road bikes, i imagine its the same reason for trials. The rear disc is also smaller so probably less likely to warp as well
  10. I never knew this. Is this too extreme the other way?? """ Things were looking good for Bristow to take the double victory, right up until the tenth section of her second lap where she was penalised five marks for walking the section, a practice which is not permitted in the European Championship. .""""
  11. Oh i totally agree, he gets away with murder 99% of the time. I only posted that because it was nice to see him getting a five for once
  12. Have a look at 17:30, bou gets done for a stop. Some observers just have the balls while others dont
  13. A dab for a stop, observers are just too scared to give a 5, especially to world champions. If its only a 1 the rules will be enforced more strictly
  14. To me this is part of trials, and i kind of hope it always will be. Thats the benefit of riding something last, and being able to slightly modify the section to suit a different line. If everyone rode the same line and conditions it would be boring. I must stress "slightly" though nobody wants heavy modification, and to me washing a rock with some water is ok, but not ok that its the minder!!!! Id much rather see this than Toni riding up a section, stopping for good 3 seconds and coming away with a clean, which he does on a regular basis
  15. I blame trialGP, they never addressed this issue at the start of the season. In my opinion the ideal rules are a dab for a stop. Theyve run these rules before at world and british level and everyone liked them. 5 for a stop is too harsh. The observer feels more confident in giving a 1 for stop, so the rules are enforced more strictly and the rider doesnt mind as much for being penalised for a 1. It also allows a rider to stop to get that section that may have been marked out a little too hard for non stop. Its the perfect halfway house
  16. Think i preferred the FIM videos from previous years, twice the length, better camera work, production, and commentating
  17. Luckily they gave credit! lol
  18. Why didnt he ride his 300, the bike he rides every other day of the year, and try to win it? Pot hunting much?
  19. Start with the cheapest and easiest, throttle and sprocket. If they arent enough then retard the ignition timing or flywheel and low compression head.
  20. If you solely want a larger tank, why not try a contact tank (looks nicer IMO)
  21. Good chance then the bike shipped with no grease in the linkages
  22. I wouldnt worry too much about the squeaking rear brake, lots of bikes do it. As long as its not generating drag. How fresh are the pads?
