common guys, this is becoming funny. Is it ever gonna end? OPEN YOUR MINDS. Get a life. It is becoming a bit boring to see the same thread all over again and again.

I have a mate who's 85kg, advanced rider, and he has an 8m and 10m. He's happy with them at the moment but he would like to h...

My favourite picture of Toby

She sure picked up some serious speed on that sling
