ive just started to cheat in footlocking, i climb on a tachyon and footlocking a single 11mm rope seems a whole waste of energy so i now use a pantin, cant fault it, but there is nothing like a good old double rope foot lock, only used footlocking here in oz, never had to do it in the uk but its deffinatly the way to acend into a tree

i have a secont rope now that ill go up on the start with, i like a double rope for bigger accents

not hard dude just slow and painful!

i find that way is just painfull, really slow and tireing. did i the other day that way and it about killed me doing 6ft!!

im working in oz at the min and finding im needing to do footlocking quite alot, cant get my head around doing it with a v.t, any help/videos would be greatly appreciated

well i paid 20quid for my swivel, sooner have a pernament fix on my tree motion harness, but the only thing is the rope on the treemotion bridge has worn the swivel!!!!!! i will buy a new one tho soon, plus a swivel crab would be usless on a vt set up!!

i will do matey, just boughjt a new slr:)

ay up guys, not been on here in ages!! dont get much time for the computer nowdays, as the title says ive got 7 days till i fly to oz! ive not sorted any work out but im pretty confident i can get it no probs with the contacts i have, one of them leading to mr tahune him self graeme! be nice to just go and watch!!! but any ways does any one have any last minuite advice?

not alot my friend, just pannels etc

Loads of work in Brisburn Ben,they had a big storm there a while back,like matty says post on @~*%$!":# and you'll be abel to work your way round oz.Have you anything sorted yet? i could sort a no out for a guy i used to climb with,who now runs a firm in Brisburn,And another no for a guy in Perth.

if you could pm me the numbers and e-mails that would be great

vduben - are you guys going with work visas? or what? i fancy going over and giving it a try but have no idea where to start

just find a suitable visa company, fill in the form and they will ring you! its that simple, im not sure what happens next yet but im looking into it

hey guys, ive not been on here in a while, christmas is a busy time:beerglass:

and i am now free and single! let the good time roll... i had a change of heart and think Oz offers more to me, has anyone got any tips on what to do how to find work there, i will be flying to brisbane with a freelance climber mate and we both dont have much clue yet on what to expect, so any help would be greatly appreciated,

ive done that befor but not that blinking bad!!!! i managed to just about poke my eye out with will one too.

ive gotta say it the best money ive ever spent, well except my climbing kit which bought it!!

had some pretty muddy days now and the wr's feeling nice!

Good luck with bike vduben.

Wr's are nice bikes, I raced a WR 250f 2 seasons ago, after getting sick of my KTM 450 getting stuck. and getting cripling arm pump.

Now back to the 2 smokes, 'GasGas EC 200' they depreciate faster than a lead baloon but I absolutley love them.

Done 16 races this year and it's never let me down, Hare and Hounds and timecard enduros, and one exreme enduro which is better off forgotton about.

Get a few hours in on the trails and then have a go at racing its the best way way to spend a sunday afternoon.

ive been on it quite a bit now, last weekend i hit a 3ft deep puddle pretty fast, good job i had my front wheeel up!

it is deffinatly a good way to spend the sunday

hell yeah not many would go up there, how did he get to the top out on that dodgy limb? looked like a clean stem from what i could see??

thorpey was a little before my time but he will always be a legend. my friends father was a big follower and has a cr500 collection of various models over the years from red rockets to later water cooled models.

motocross aint the same with 4 strokes, kinda like moto gp when they went to the dark side.

whenever im spectating or competing i will always support the 2 strokers!!!

me too!!!!!! i started on a smoker, loved it! but a thumper is far more practical for poping down the lane!!

get a bit of green lane pracice in and may be well see you at western beach race next year

 

hehehehhe

never thought of that!! see you there!

ive just got the stein jacket and love it, especially the zipper breathers

yeah man i cant wait, my mates just got a 03 wr450f too so its all go!

bin out today to knebworth to look at a 06 wr450.

had a little blast and bought it! cant wait to pick it up and hit the green lanes:001_tt1:

I just use a D shackle behind the strap, the great thing about the ratchet strap is their is zero movement (i find it a pain when the port a wrap flies in the air under load)

with the rachet it stays in a fixed position.

surley though a properly pre-tentioned rigging line should not fly up anyway?

that looks a good idea!

you old boys, how bigs a 1/8 of a inch in metric?

i havent had any breaky yeat and feel ill!!!! worth the watch though, i will be taking skyhucks idea and getting one and putting it in my helmet, can you get diferent size sachets?
