  1. When he's not liggin' on t'couch, old Ishy has been known to organise the odd world round - a lot of it single handed and at his own expense. No disrespect mate, but you're digging yourself a hole here!
  2. Just sorting my photos from Portugal for trialsphotos.com and came across this one. You won't have been able to make it out in the small ones posted on the front page, but this is it cropped and blown up. Xavier Leon, Section 9. That has potential to hurt big time!

    Hey Al

    Was browsing around my PC tonight and came across these. Bit of a blast from the past for you...

    Guess Who

    Only coffee? Pffft.
  5. I spotted that and wondered who did it. Thanks to whoever it was!

    Vids

    It's the bandwidth that's the problem, not online/offline viewing or being in a seperate forum or anything else. The site did 100GB last week. That is a helluva lot of data and more than it's ever done in a month up till now. I'm kinda busy at the moment, but have a few weeks before the next world round to think about things.

    Videos went up tonight on the front page from the WTC round in Portugal. However, the vids are becoming so popular they're swamping my bandwidth. It may be the case Trials Central have no choice except to charge for premium content such as video moving forward. What I make out of advertising doesn't cover the costs.
  9. Ooh! Ooh! I know this one! Pick me! Pick me! It's erm....ummm...ooooh....it's on the tip of my tongue...errrr....ummmm..... It's Lane Leavitt isn't it? Tell me I'm right. I know I'm right!
  10. If you're planning on going to a World round outwith the UK this year then Poland is definitely going to be the most cost-effective in terms of flights/hotels/food and, of course, DRINK! I've also got a contact via Tadeusz Blazusiak who could probably help with finding/recommending hotels if needed. If there were sufficient going from the site, I'd organise T-Shirts printed. They'd cost, but not much and only what I paid.
  11. Being worked on. Check front page in about 30 mins.
  12. I Thought it was 24 hours to Tulsa <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That made I laugh. RIP Gene Pitney.
  13. Where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain And the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet When the wind comes right behind the raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain. <cough> I'll get me coat.
  14. No idea. That's just what I was told at the event. Could be complete bollocks, but given the results said "disqualified" as opposed to "retired", something happened.
  15. I guess it's no real secret and will be talked about anyway. My understanding is - He broke the swinging arm on his bike, tried to swap to a different bike and got busted for it. Naughty, but the other riders said they'd have done exactly the same thing. One of those things.

    Lance Armstrong?

    And there, gentlemen, is your answer.

    Lance Armstrong?

    Couldn't have put it better myself Al. I'm watching this topic and whilst I'm not inclined to hit the Ban button, there is a line. 99.99% of the people involved in Trials globally draw no wage from it. They are totally volunteers. I do expect a bit of sensitivity when it comes to decrying the very people who work for the sport - whether you agree with them or not.
  18. Was that before or after the 15 cervezas and Dougie's champagne? Joking apart, I agree. Both James and Michael can go far. They've both got the ability and have got the backing and dedication of a great team with Top Trial Team - backing that a lot of riders don't have. If they stay focused then there's no reason they can't be right up there. As far as Wiggy and Ross go, Ross was unlucky on Sunday, but these things happen. General concensus was it did Wiggy no harm to come second - in fact probably did a lot of good. No disrespect to Ross or any of the other British Youth riders, but Wiggy is well ahead of the game as far as UK Youth Trials goes. This is a different league and knowing Alexz, it'll just motivate him more to get back on top. I suppose I should mention that Lampkin guy too. He's well fired up and having James back has made a big difference. No disrespect to Hemmo - in fact he took on a bloody tough job last year and if it hadn't been for the fall in France, who knows what could have happened. However, Doug and James were together for so long prior to that, it must be a confidence boost for him. He wants that eighth title and a more determined bugger I've never met. The bike is going well and they're constantly innovating so he's definitely in with a good shout at doing it.

    The Challenge

    Has to be at the US World Round. Could be billed as a major attraction.
  20. What happens on the road, stays on the road - them's the rules!
  21. I'll be in Portugal for the WTC round. Pity they clash as I like the Pollock.
  22. There is actually a Blog Module for the forums. Not something I'd ever thought about.
  23. It's a saga that's been ongoing for ages. Nothing to worry about.
