Just noticed your last picture foxfish the way the play logo is positioned it looks like it's censoring you eating those drapes/curtains it does on this Phone anyway.

Kirk that is a smart looking van. My brother in law has something like that but not such an ace colour.

Thanks,the plaster Had it done for £300 so it looks ok from where you are paints a bit thin here and there that bugs me as I used to prep for custom work. I think their was one person stood with the d,a, one stood with a primer gun and one with the Ford st blue as the Van was driven past...

yeah but the thin paint helps to counter the extra weight of the scaffold!

what do you ride? im an orange man myself, although i do regret not buying my teenage love - the stumpjumper. always wanted a stumpy. should have got one.

Always fancied a p7 and a stump jumper in my teens. My first mtb was a emelle leopard 12 spd with Foam grips and those chrome handle bars with triangle in the middle. Saved my paper round money for that.

 

[darren636]

my first mtb was a 5 speed emelle. made of cast iron and was utter cack. 1987 if i recall

I used to have a GT LTS3 when I was 17. Loved that bike, it was awesome, only let down was the elastomer rear shock. I sold it to buy an exhaust for my VFR and I've not ridden an MTB since.

I started out on a GT Avalanch but trashed it whilst descending Skiddaw in the Lakes went in a skip when home (chain stays bent, forks jaked, wheels crisped etc etc lol), after that had a Marin Rocky Ridge hardtail (older one). That lasted a while and then got nicked

Replaced it with a Marin B-17 which was awesome, had early hydraulic discs etc and could fly down Dalby Forest quite quickly on that thing. Then gave up and sold it.

Always fancy riding again, and would like a Santa Cruz Bullit or similar, but just no time these last few years

Some ooooooold pictures:

Wrecked GT lol



More often than not falling off (doing the funky chicken)



Before I took protective clothing seriously

Had ET gone home in that last pic?

 

[Rob P]

are yes the good olld days I remember having hair been ripped, now the only thing ripped is my trousers if I don't adjust them before I sit down. did the forks bottom out on landing that? Or did those lats carry you on too a smooth landing?

 

[darren636]

One thing is certain

I'm too old for hardtails

 

[Rob P]

I actually think i landed skew wiff and crisped the back wheel, i was good at doing that lol fearless, but useless

Hardtails were cool, we'd often come across a pack of guys full body armour, full face helmets, 7 inch travel both ends umming and arring over 6 - 8 foot drop offs and we'd just ride through em on our hardtails wearing moleskin slacks and beany hats straight off crazy days, but mucho funno
