^Pump tracks and dirt jumps are soooo much fun, but being on a proper BMX/Dirt Jumper really does need to happen ;-)

Getting a clean ride in the snow is always a bonus . None in my area yet .

Thanks for this post and where about are you in Northumberland, as to the location if you cycle along great Langdale, going thru chapel stile and heading for Dungeon Gill Hotel you then turn left at the end of the road heading up a very steep narrow winding road with side pike appearing on ur left, on the map I’ve included A marked is Dungeon gill B is where I photographed my bike and C is side pike and the little road heads down to Blea tarn where I turn off road not long after here
I think that when you are relatively new to the forum it's very easy to become too defensive ..from what I've read the comments which have offended you really were meant in a light-hearted manner..truth be told most of us like to start out on a clean bike .
Cracking pic by the way but although you gave its location I'm struggling to find it on a map ..is it near Loughrigg Tce..?
Do you ride solo most of the time ..or do a bit of group riding ?
There is quite a healthy collection of riders who meet up on a fairly regular basis from all across the North East & beyond ( 5 of us in Northumberland ) ...you would be more than welcome to join us on a ride whenever it suits you ( by way of showing that we are a friendly bunch )
It is, simmer! Let's not get off on the wrong foot pal, there's a bit of leg pulling on here most days, please don't take it the wrong way.
Cheers for the info..Thanks for this post and where about are you in Northumberland, as to the location if you cycle along great Langdale, going thru chapel stile and heading for Dungeon Gill Hotel you then turn left at the end of the road heading up a very steep narrow winding road with side pike appearing on ur left, on the map I’ve included A marked is Dungeon gill B is where I photographed my bike and C is side pike and the little road heads down to Blea tarn where I turn off road not long after here

I think he means the whole thread since inception.Probably Hodge checking all his photos?
Some very good ones , to be fair
In another 4 years we’ll all look back and say; “Can’t believe our bikes were 50+ lbs “.

Pam cooking spray. It’s a lot cheaper .
Alps are AAA rated but there a not just a few pics from other regions that can easily keep up with the Rockies of Europe.
Hard to imagine that one could choose which is the pic of the year or overall in this topic?

Nothing like a bit of single track shute to keep you on your toes

We could have a top ten pic competition with prizes. Donate all those bike stuff we bought and regretted the next day , all lying hidden at the back of the shed haha . Tyres used once waterproof shoes that leak like sivs etc etc

In before the “ whatever happened to VWsurfbum” thread.Or some of the freebies @Rob Rides EMTB gets sent
There’s always a bit of effort to setup a bike on a steep shute. Well done
. The Scorpion tires caught my attention though. I’m considering those again for the upcoming snowy conditions here. (Plus the price is right). Do you find the rubber compound kinda soft? The knobs on my other ones wore out kinda fast.
Btw, thanks for the perfect
valve/tire alignment. 
I resent this. Look at my superior arty aesthetic from last night's ride & tell me it's worse than E-Toni's fankly spectacular, breathtaking, achingly beautiful work. Go on, I dare you.
Looks like the beam needs to be adjusted to a more horizontal level. Don‘ t want to get to see valve adjustmemt.

Night ride with some work mates in my old stomping grounds, Kamloops BC. On a training course for a week. Gotta love company paid EMTB vacations hahaha. 3 of us ride so it’s always awesome when we can get together.

Tyres are great, they rear Pirelli is a "S" which is supposedly for soft ground and therefore really hard rubber. They hook up really well on the hard ground/rocks that we have around here and seem to last for ages. I got them too because they were cheap. This is my second one as I ended up punching a 1 1/2 inch slash through the side wall on the previous one with a root sticking out of a high berm. Any tyre would have let go with that. Some of us try with the old alignment thingThere’s always a bit of effort to setup a bike on a steep shute. Well done
