I ride street, well used to a lot, i was riding home today and was gonna make a thread just like this, maybe pics of bikes???lol:)
I used to do a lot of biking, mainly street but with a bit of XC and BMXing thrown in for good measure, was pretty good (i think anyways lol) did a spot of trials too till i passed my test and got lazy, young stupidity, ill get back on a bike soon though been promising myself it for ages, but car always eats my pennies before a bike can lol!!

i go out on my bike occasionally, not as much as I should after buying a new bike though
have been up to fort wailliam a few times and the lake district, brecon beacons but generally ride round cannock chase
Haven't really done much recently - last summer I spent all my spare time with the unspeakable one in Cheltenham, and this summer I've been busy with Alex lol. Shame, as there's loads of room in the Celica to put a bike in. So now I'm just fat.
I have an old marin Palisades with some rather seized Manitou forks, and a blinged up Rock Springs.
I ride a mountain bike quite often. But I usually just strap lots of beer to it and ride around my little bro's house, then get pissed and ride back:thumb:
Its known as the beer bike and on the way back its like its supercharged:D
cyclists and horses should stay off the bloody road !!
i used to ride mountain bikes loads untill, as said before i passed my test - recently got back on one and only managed 4-5miles before i nearly passed out !! altho i know go on it everyday as part of my regime to get fitter !!
I ride, mostly cross country trials, used to do a bit of downhill and BMX aswell but getting old LOL

used to ride trails alot when i was younger.but i snapped the headtube off the frame and i kinda lost interest in it while i was saving up for a new one.
got a cheap frame off a mate but the i broke my back hub so i gave it up as a bad job.

I used to be into trials in a big way when i was about 14, i was ok at it but nothing special, i kinda lost intrest when i passed my test and havent ridden for about 6 years, i am re-teaching myself all the basics at the moment :D
You must ride hard! Ive had my main bike, saracen x-ile 7005 frame for about 6 years and thats been way over 8 ft drops and all it breaks is wheels! I also had a mongoose fuzz pro limited edition but that had no suspension what so ever, so just ended up hurting my wrist's and i once borrowed a santa cruz v15 i think it was and that was just like a bouncy castle!

probably not designed to be ridden trials so had no supports around the headtube.:(
when i was a tennager, when i lived in weymouth, i used to do alot of dirt biking, around the dorset country side, and everytime, i would break sumit, i loved it, on my raleigh max3, lol, i still have it, but its in pieces in my garage
then when i came back to birmingham, i built a fully custom one-off bmx, scorpion frame, mongoose stem, db chrome handle bars, alloys rims, stunt pegs, custom brakes, etc, fully chrome, fully bling, but im better on a mountain bike than a bmx
my bmx is now for sale!
LOL
There is no way i can sell my bike, purely because it owes me to much money .
I had an oldschool BMX a few years ago but i cant remember the frame, smaffu bars and some PHAT rims! And to finish it off, a motorbike chain! It was a fooker to ride though!

I used to eat cheese and ham sandwiches for lunch every day and swapped it for tuna with no mayo and I lost a stone.

At least I know I'll never get osteoperosis!!
Do what?!
i need to eat cheese, i go the gym every week as well play football for a sunday league team, but i need to put on fat as well as muscle, hence why i drink alot of full fat milk
maybe i should get back on my mountain bike!
Thats true, my legs and rear are still in great shape
I'll second that :p
i allways used to mountain bike/bmx a few years ago (when i was 13-16 years old). i was allways on it. until some thiving bastid stole my specailised rockhopper. ive got some dawes now but i put all my old spares on it to get me from a to b until i passed my test. now im the same as every one else.( man boobs and takeaway/beer belly and muscly bum n legs lol). i do miss biking every weekend though

Just getting back into it havig found (most lol) of my ?2000 bike that got stolen three years ago.
Ditto with the legs, bin riding since was a kid, not a massive bloke but rarely get taken down in footy, people tend to bounce off lol
Bex, milk n cheese wont make a massive difference to developing osteoperosis, but if you did enough trials you may get a bit of DJD lol.
With regard to diet and fitness, the things you do between 18 and 24 tend to stay with you for the rest of your life so anyone in my age bracket, get to work!
Beavy i do like the gaficks on your motor. you know if i dont ride i get really moody and stressed, but much more chill after riding. where was/is you local riding patch

Thanks man they're not to everyones taste but I like em so that the main thing.
Got a fair selection of good ground. Some good jump locations, iford for example is well maintained (if it's still there it's been a while lol) St Catherines Hill near Christchurch is closest for me. New forest is good but very flat. And finally the Purbecks offer loads of hills and adventure but I prefer a route with a lot of obsticles etc rather than a straight xc run.
Having said that I won't be trowing it off anything until I get my rear wheel trued up.
Arne Woods - near Wareham - is quite good, if a little small. Not really sure its suited to trials riding, but I quite often go there on my fs bike
all the good riding off road tracks around bham have been ruined by drug taking dole dwelling theifing asbo'd burberry wearing council estate chavs!
theres a decent bmx track in an area called yardley wood here, good for a quick blast, dont know many bmx tracks, but thats been ruined by these little cnuts too!
any been rding in afagn i want to go there between now and new year any one else wanna set a date and join me for some some good MTbing?

theres a old quarry near my house that people made into a a bit of a dirt bike course.but the local jipo's/chav keep trying to ruin it on there clapped out crossers
maybe we should all bring our bikes to the next NL meet...? lol
