I've now got a sore jaw from where it bounced of the floor a few times!

SHIT!!!

Thinking about it, I've just made a complete cock of myself!!!

Sorry

No you haven't, you've just given us the best giggle of the day!

Top quality rant! Fantastic

(There, but for the grace of god etc etc)

+1

... i was just disappointed the penny dropped so soon, was hoping the thread would run and run

The rant-level was almost on a quality par with the awesome riding in the clip that the thread started with

By posting a reply, I have absolutely guaranteed dropping a similar clanger myself sometime in the near future. It's like those "spelling correction" replies that always end up introducing another mistake.

Lovely clip. The flow in his riding is awesome - can see why he is listed as a street/trials rider not just a trials rider. Trials is impressive enough, but that level of flow lifts it immensely.

And I am now trying to relocate mine, so I can push it back up again. I actually disbelieve that half those things he did comply with the laws of physics.

rofl - it's a +1 from me too.

Thanks bobb, both for the laugh as well as the honesty of owning up.

It nearly got to the point where I'd have had to have gone and checked.

Just watched the video...

Frakk me sideways, that guy's stunt-fu is very strong indeed. Awesome madskillz...

Well, I really don't know what I was thinking! My mind was a bit confuzzled. And to think I spent 3 years at university studying...................

................. Mechanical Engineering!!!

I, being totally inadequate at everything mechanical, did!

clarion · « **Reply #61 on:** 22 April, 2009, 09:36:59 am »

I went upstairs to the bike and did check. Bobb's very convincing, and I wanted to be sure that what I had in my head was correct.

Ariadne · « **Reply #62 on:** 22 April, 2009, 09:40:01 am »

Well, as is obvious upthread, I was starting to doubt myself too! You should take up sales, bobb, or become a preacher.

bobb · « **Reply #63 on:** 22 April, 2009, 09:47:07 am »

You lot are too kind. I'd be posting abuse if anyone else spouted a load of crap at that level of idiocy

I didn't doubt it, but only because I've been bitten too many times by my crank crunching up against the back of my kickstand when wheeling the bike backwards out of the garage. The lack of remaining paint on the back of my kickstand is a testament to this

Well, he's made the bbc website. Bet his sponsors are pleased with him!

I honestly thought, for a second, that you meant bobb was on the BBC!
I need to spend more time away from this forum, i think

bobb,

Maybe you could invent the next craze now that fixed is dead?

Now, what could we call a bike that has no ratchet...

clarion · « **Reply #71 on:** 22 April, 2009, 02:03:32 pm »

No Ratchet, you say?

clarion · « **Reply #72 on:** 22 April, 2009, 02:04:04 pm »

I'd find the prospect a-pawling

токамак · « **Reply #73 on:** 22 April, 2009, 02:09:24 pm »

A tribulations bicycle?

Oaky · « **Reply #74 on:** 22 April, 2009, 07:38:47 pm »

The next N forumites who meet bobb in person absolutely have to check his bike by wheeling it backwards a few yards ;-)
