    Gave the third episode a chance, gave up half way through. An Aston Martin bike that massages your 'roids and does auto urine tests or something (I wasn't really concentrating at that point).

  • hahah! i missed this weeks, but after last weeks efforst i wasnt holding out much hope!! the one with the mtb coverage in and even that was pretty dire! one point at 'opening up the floor for questions' during the chat with the singery type person and getting one question before cutting away! that and in the 30 mins of show, a good 5 minutes are of the trailers for the show and crc, and the 5 minute advert brakes!!!
    it had a lot of potential but seems to have failed quite well, quite early on!!

    Well, Ive not seen it, but Anna Glowinski is in it so I will probably force myself to watch it. She's not only fit, but also knows how to shred. Not that Im shallow or anything...

    Heh, didn't bother watching it this week.

    Gary Fisher was pretty cool in the first one then it went downhill for me. I watched last week for the article on The Mega and it was pants "get a fat front tyre and a dropper post" Err yeah thanks for that.

    Trying to do too much in half an hour i think.

    No he wasn't.
    The guy's an undoubted mountain biking legend, but he's still a total bellend. He's far too Californian.

    Not really, nothing you couldn't watch on Youtube. The whole article was probably less than 5 minutes long.

    Gary Fisher's coolness (or lack of) is far too big of a subject for any of us.

    It sounds like the Gadget Show, but for bikes, and worse.

    Best bit was that bloke telling you what to do when u get a flat tyre .... For starters he knew where the tacs were so he was prepared for it and then he said don't turn at speed with a flat on the front lol idiot!
    When i die I just hope the wife doesn't sell my stuff for what I told her I paid for it other wise someone will be getting a mega deal!!!

  • I didn't even know there was a cycle show :|

    Someone mentioned the Gadget show as well. If it's anything like that it really isn't worth watching at all, it really is a pointless program.

    At least the Gadget Show has Suzi Perry and Pollyanna Whatsherface. I watched some of the cycle shw last night slack-jawed in amazement that anything could be so crap. Its one of those shows that you keep thinking it has to get better and then it finishes

    Had. They've dumped Suzi, so I'm boycotting it. (Only two left are the bimbo and the blonde chick.)

    Dumped. Bastards. Along with the black dude and the old guy. (Didn't take any notice of their names. I was just there to fantasize over the delectable Ms Perry. )

    Was out for a drink with Mrs Chunk, and was sat on a bench in a bar on the next table right of and next to Ortis. Hope Suzi swaps that for the Moto again and her leather pants, crack almost out, sound equipment a'dangling.
