Yeah, big style mate...... ...is it noticeable

That's you knackered already Copey.....;-)

Too much of a generalisation, it's a balance of nutrition, Proteins and Carbs. Whereas 10 years ago a pro cyclist might have scoffed his way through 7000 to 10,000 Calories a day it's now probably 5000 to 7000 because of the understanding in how carbs are absorbed and how protein levels assist the absorbtion aand physical use of carbs. Many Many moons ago I used to swim competitively and trained 5 hours a day most days, 2 hours before school, an hour at lunch and 2 more after school. I'd eat 6000+ cals a day to fuel swimming up to 8000M a day but more than80% of what we ate back then was carbs, boxes of mars bars and other sweets were it and most likely the cause of my rotten teeth and less than dynamic shape.... Main point is, everyone's individual optimum diet is specific to them, you can only take a guide from what people tell you or advise, lots of trial and error involved. One study I read recently suggests its a 60% protein / 40% Carb split in general though exact percentages are obviously very individual.

...we'd heard that.... Oh yeah Brilliant.......now Mrs Slapshot and sprog are trawling the trials sites to see where they can get the tops, (the new Hebo/Iris Kramer designed stuff) my copy of YOU HAVE USED WORDS OR A PHRASE WHICH ARE NOT PERMITTED ON THIS WEBSITE. PLEASE DELETE YOUR POST/TOPIC. DO NOT TRY TO CIRCUMVENT THE FILTERS IN PLACE ON THIS WEBSITE just happened to be open at the right/wrong page whatever way you look at it...... Agreed though, good to see trials on TV .... Can you call Channel 5 mainstream yet???

Ignore the music but loved some of the prangs. Always make me feel good when I superstars making a complete B*****ks of it.... I did notice our erstwhile Webmaster moving in like a bullet to record the fate of a certain young Mr Dabill, going backwards rapidly minus bike...

Just watched the Genoa stuff on Eurosport, that looks like fun...

Can I suggest maybe you read some of this thread again a bit more closely. No-one is obejcting to people doing the self help stuff like you suggest and I suspect for years there have been moans and groans to various Stewards and officials about some of the shenanigans that have happened over the years however, the rider in question is an agents rider and an award winner over many years. What's got people's backs up is that it's been so blatant and that even though caught and shamed he stood his ground and refused to confess, accepted his awards and did others out of their rightful positions and awards. My previous comment on this topic: The guy in question should never get an entry to the trial again and maybe the riders, his peers should shame him into quitting but after what's happened so far I don't think he has any shame. Ultimately he chose to cheat It's his responsibility

Big John....obviously knows more about these things than he's letting on

See as a professional Ayrshireman I'd never have got that ..... always said there were some funny folk over that side..

Like every sport cheating's been going on forever but if you condone or try to reason why then all you do is a: completely disrespect the event the organisers have put together, b: disrespect your fellow competitors and c: disrespect the sport. If you can live with yourself through that then good luck to you, hope you get caught, hope it's public and sincerely hope you never get near the sport again. Said individual got caught out, he has no entry this year and for sticking the proverbial two fingers up at the organisers I hope his entry "get's lost in the post" every year, same goes for anyone else caught. He couldn't have done this alone so some others out there need to have a good look at themselves but he chose to do it, someone with a bit of honour and respect would have retired, end of. As for the stewards, they have a huge event to look after, they are not omnipresent, you see something, shout!! I do remember one rather vociferous steward in the mid 80's like nothing better than catching French riders bending the rules...

...As in that BSA you ride p65 trials on you soft git!!!! you're just as bad as that pillock Kinell, I should have known better than use that word on here

20years mate I've got a bike as well but it doesn't stop me looking at your Beezer....

Never mind the big step stuff anyone know who the eye candy is???

Yeah, mines nearly 16.... Congrats Gaz, Mrs Gaz and baby Gaz

Nice one Zippy Skinny buggers need not respond

FFS mate don't get white ones. Unless you happen to be Dougie Lamkpin or Toni Bou etc etc etc they just look gay. Only ever used Alpinestars (BLUE ONES) as a choice, had some Gaernes for a while and didn't like them. All boots leak to some extent the best solution is Sealskins of a couple of asda carriers wrapped round your feet before you tuck em into your boots..... (tesco bags have wee holes in the bottom of them)

......and i'm a Scot with a wife who considers herself English because her old man is and a nearly 16 year old duaghter who was born in Leeds and has decided she's foreign as well ... you think you've got problems mate... I'd suggest they've maybe hit the market at the wrong time and had this been a year ago the money side wouldn't be much of a discussion point. I suspect they'll sell a few from "novelty" perspective but I don't see it ever being a huge seller like Gassers or Beta. As to who'll buy it, that's a good piont and I'd have to agree with your reasoning however there will be some folk who want to be different and will maybe have a look at it. As for whats cool: coolness is whatever the world champ is riding directly proportional to the cost of said bike, at

....come on boys, I'm working, can't see youtube, any still images of this lovely...please please please

A works bike of some sort..... Eddie Lejeune's 360 RTL, couple of seasons before they brought out the RTL Mono. Gorgeous....worth a fortune

Erm...I think i just crashed that website....

That'll be the guy Welsh forwards pick up and carry for ten yards ......

I was just making sure you knew... I've also heard it called the "dicky-do" disease, when your belly sticks out more than your dicky-do

Vindicated...I'm not fat, It's a virus. clicky
