  1. first 30 seconds he is balancing waiting to start and then he enters the section and BOOM huge launch with NO run at it! List of videos at PhotobySergio.com Best of Toni Bou 2010...cool step at 2:25 and then balance on incline.
  2. Oh crap, he took me up on my challenge..........now how do I get to Australia really cheap????? Sure would be fun. OK I will make you a deal: (and I will try to remember it too) If I ever make it over to Australia I will look you up and we can go for a ride. Sound good? Fair warning though, I don't travel much so I have no idea when I will make it over there.
  3. I tend to think that just talent and ability will only get you so far in the WTC.......the rest of the way is achieved by not having any fear of crashing, You cannot extend or improve your skills if you are afraid of failing at a technique. I hope what I am trying to convey actually comes across because if it doesn't ........ then I will be seen as being an actually I am used to being seen as one of those,
  4. I believe that is a challenge sir, If you provide the Beta I will accept your challenge of no 5's in a trial. (I will even seriously try not to get a 5.........won't help much)
  5. I just can't bring myself to believe that Copey would have a few before posting on here. When in the past has he done this to deserve such a reputation............wait what did you say? He normally has a few before posting. OH never mind then, I will sit back and enjoy the show.
  6. If it gets you uummm ahem "excited" we would appreciate not knowing what happens. I would imagine there is a motorcycle counterpart to this guy??
  7. I keep telling the rest of Team WGASA when we go practice "Catch my bike, I have insurance to fix me, the bike costs money!!" (I seriously hope they know I don't WANT to get hurt)
  8. WE HAVE 4 LADIES ON THE TEAM THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!!! In past years we have only had 2? or 3? Those guys are all good riders, but I am a bit curious if the fact of no Pat and Cody was Pat and Cody's decision or the AMA/NATC decision? I suppose it really doesn't matter too much because our team is now chosen. Maybe one of these guys after the TDN will also decide to give the world rounds a shot.
  9. 1. YES!! replace that little blue cap, The threaded hole that the cap goes into is a direct hole to the internals of the fork. It may be worth while to strip the fork apart to make sure there is still fork oil in there/check for dirt in there to mess up your fork seal. 2. If you ride like 90% of us on here a little melted plastic won't look as bad as the cracks/breaks and folds that will happen after many crashes.
  10. Is this Her?? She's in a Band She's even got her own merchandise!! I gotta quit with the google thing, this could go on forever.
  11. My 2000 has the same brake pedal, I have a piece that bolts onto the pedal making the foot contact surface larger. But these one piece cast aluminum pedals really don't like rocks. I have 2 pedals (one for back up) and they both have been broke and welded back together, damn things are too expensive to keep buying new ones. I did not know that the newer pedals with the hinged end would fit the older bikes. I may have to look into that.
  12. At first I thought you were being silly, then I googled Ot Pi. Found these: HOLY COW 1991!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BgV2xIPreg And then still going strong in 2007
  13. Should have been obvious with it being so stiff and all!! I just had to be the one with the D**K joke. I know the location of the petcock changed a little in later years but my 2000 is set on left side of the tank and very easy to get at. Lever pointing down is on, pointing to rear tire is off, and pointing to front tire is reserve.
  14. The ALMIGHTY GOD OF TRIALS!!!
  15. I thoroughly enjoyed their performance, they really packed quite a bit into that short of time. Should be a good next performance.
  16. Girls, Girls, stop this low level, polite and friendly discussion. You are all pretty. I would also guess it was Raga. Remember the stink he put up about Caby "cutting in line"?

    Beta Drowned?

    That is only because Sherco is very concerned about the environment. You see if the fuel/exhaust mix recirculates and burns a second time there is less emissions produced and better fuel economy. My bike after being fixed really sucks down the fuel now. But it runs SSSOOOO MUCH better now.

    Beta Drowned?

    I dumped my sherco in the creak once,pulled the plug and tipped it upside down, pumped the water out of the cylinder. Cleaned the air filter with some 2-stroke fuel and finished the event. Did not touch the motor for 2 years. Was running pretty rough by then, Split the cases to fit some new Crank bearings and seals and I got a surprise. There was dirt/silt caked into the corners of the intake, the rings were blowing by so bad there were scorch marks on the cases UNDER the crank bearings. I think it was recycling the fuel. Hope yours is not as much trouble.
  19. AAAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!! Just watch America's got Talent. I saw some motorcycle trials in the beginning teaser, but no performance was shown!!!!!!!!!!! Next one???????????
  20. That was damn funny, but cost me a punch to my arm when I showed Mrs. Zippy. Well worth the price for the laugh.
  21. Development of site things and testing of these things.
  22. Howie - Big O surprised face Sharon - Hands over mouth OMG face. Piers - Bored and will exclaim "Dougie Lampkin does it better, Americans just can't ride proper trials"
  23. I too have done similar, had a hole in my front tube, knew local dealer guy would be at event. I needed a spare anyways so I would buy a patch kit later to fix the tube with a hole in it. Purchase tube all happy as a clam. Install tube, pump it up. Find out I pinched it, go over to dealer guy and after he finishes laughing I purchase a patch kit. Redo the entire process, but a little slower so I don't pinch it again. Now I have 2 tubes with patches.
