The single worst piece of advice ever given on these forums.

I have a video of some scallies bezzing around Fairy Caves Quarry on their mopeds. Would you like to put it up?

That young man is going to do himself a mischief. Do his parents know what he's up to?

Turn your sound up to be deafened by horrible thrash metal music, oh yeah, thanks very much!

Anyway not bad, have you seen this guy though...?

The sprung stuff isn't that impressive really but the no brakes stuff is really quite mad.
I like his green anodised hope rotor carriers and hope mono piston caps, matches the pedals that also look a bit special, nice.
Although on that thought, why would a sane person with such trick brakes not fit then to his bikes.

Does anyone know if the areas were he's mucking about areas were cycles are permitted?

In reply to Dan_S:

I guess it had to be said sooner or later.
I'd be suprised if the area below Earl Crag was ok to bounce around on, especially doing long skids in the ferns like I used to do when I was 9.

There you go - the old chap speaks!

A bit irresponsible of UKC me thinks.

Well that wasted about 10 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

You owe me.

That area of hillside is often used by off-road motorbikes, presumably with the permission of the landowner. I can't see why mountain bikes should be a problem. If it's ok for us to cover the crags with chalk I think it's probably ok for mountain bikers to leave a few tracks on the land below.

There's another thread for the arguing.

Nice one, i'm not a biker but i really enjoyed those 3 clips; better than many of the bouldering / sport climbing clips i've seen on here.

Thanks and keep them coming!

Cheers, Loz

Nope, watched the first two clips and failed to see how either could be submitted by an editor on a climbing website.

Of all the videos on the internet, I am incredibly surprised that the editors of this website could not link to some that contained climbing footage.

Maybe next time I log on to this website there could be something vaguely related to climbing displayed on the homepage.

No Chazz - we don't do climbing. Go elsewhere. No climbing here.

Cheers,

Mick
