  1. As practice for the Web and ISD modules of my degree, I've just finished
    writing a new site: 'uksu.org' (http://uksu.org). The site is there to
    contain news, a blog, pictures, videos, events, ride reports, rider
    profiles etc. And though I've finished the design etc, it has no
    content, so I was thinking it would be cool to put UK rider profiles up
    and maybe some peoples pictures/videos, to create a kind of directory
    of all the UK riders. So would anyone be interested in being put on the
    site or donating any media?

    Thanks.

  2. That is such a great idea dude!

    Im fully behind you on this one! Im not a street rider, im more into
    trials, and im not great at that. But you should try and get some
    people like Joe Hodges, Mike, Lucas and Joe Baxtor.

    Great idea dude!

    Awesome site by the way dude! Looks great, I wish I could do web design
    like that. I can only use HTML! Lol!

    Rock on!

  6. Thanks for the feedback everyone! 😄 I'm pretty much ready to start
    putting rider profiles on, so if you're up for it (don't hold back as I
    want as many as poss - and ability isn't an issue) just pm me your
    name, age, any sponsors, what you ride etc. and maybe a thumbnail of
    yourself if you have it. As for pictures and videos I'd appreciate
    absolutely any kinds of contributions. 🙂 Thanks guys!

  9. Cool. I've PMed/emailed everyone so far, but if anyone else reading this
    is interested in having their profile on the site (the more the merrier
    and it would really help me out), just PM me the following and I'll add
    you on there. You don't have to be pro!

    - Name
    - Location
    - Date of birth
    - Sponsors if you have them
    - Website if you have one
    - A little bit about yourself (what you ride, competitions you've won,
    etc.)
    - A photo to use as a profile image (thumbnail size) if you have one

    Also if anyone has suggestions or anything about the site, PM me and
    I'll see what I can do...

  16. Ok, just an update: I've just finished coding the tutorials section, and
    am working on an image gallery, so if anyone has any tutorials or
    photos to donate, please do! Also I'm thinking of putting a compilation
    video together sometime in the new year featuring footage from everyone
    on the site so if you have any clips lying around, don't hesitate to
    send them (my email is md9547 at gmail dot com).

    Thanks guys

    PS. I think it was Edd that mentioned Joe Hodges and Joe Baxter -
    anyone have a way of getting hold of them? It'd be cool to get them on
    the site - the more the merrier!

    Thanks Jas

    I like street riding, got my first uni about 3 ish years ago an Onza
    trials, then got myself the KH, originally was just trying to jump
    higher, gap further and do bigger drops and I'm still sort of doing
    that, but now I'm trying to add tricks and get them smoother.

    Got a few people into unicycling but none are really up for street
    riding yet, I mainly go out with a friend who does bike trials but to
    be honest I've probably only been out about 30 hours worth of riding
    this year and probably not much more than double that the year before.

    As for vids I've got nothing on web sites or anything, just sent my
    only decent clip from a video camera to milk for the site but a couple
    of others are just from a phone and aren't that great quality.

  20. Okay, I'm putting the British Invasion video on there via VodPod, which
    I guess I'll leave as a placeholder until I have enough footage from
    people to edit into a video. Also I'm writing a couple of tutorials now
    (starting at kickmounts etc. and working my way up the difficulty
    scale), so if anyone wants to write anything at the harder end
    (crankflips, wallstalls etc.) then feel free. Also if you know anyone
    else that rides even a little bit of street - send them to this thread!
