  1. With all due respect man, msn isn't working for you but nobody cares. It's just one of those things, it's a free chat client that sometimes crashes/needs maintenance etc If it isn't working just wait till it is, deal with it :P
  2. Hmm... Have I made myself clear?
  3. Say what you mean man. Don't hold anything back.
  4. Nice one (Y) Welcome!
  5. They come in one size but the wheelbase is adjustable because of the horizontal drop-outs...
  6. 44698. No need for a second go I guess... Unbeaten :)
  7. You never win, people just can't be bothered with your shit so they leave you to your own devices. As for the moaning, I guess I'm as bad as everyone else really but I certainly see where you're coming from, actually slightly off topic kind of - the other day I was on my way home from college and it started raining, really heavy it was and now normally I'd be thinking "shitting rain, pissed off, getting wet now grumble grumble" but this time I just thought to myself 'Why don't I like the rain, theres nothing to dislike really'. I actually really enjoyed walking home in the rain and it was very refreshing. So I guess what I'm trying to say is if you feel like moaning just think to yourself, why am I moaning and is it really worth moaning at all?! Word Bongo.

    basically all of the games on that site are worth a go... http://www.mofunzone.com/onlinegames.shtml
  9. But he's got one of the best flowing riding styles? You have to remember the manifesto style is more an appreciation of the technique than a 'oh my god look how soft and light he is when he rides'. If you've tried the manifesto style you will appreciate the video for what it is, experimentation at it's best.
  10. When I'm riding I only cover my front brake if I know I'm going to use it. I've found that this makes for higher backwheels/bunnyhops and further gaps. I also really like the feeling off not covering the front brake, it somehow feels more powerful. When you see a front wheel spinning during a move it looks sweet as well. Why pull the brake if you dont need to brake?!?
  11. But that's because titanium is actually better! It's so much lighter for axles and shit and so makes a huge difference to how the bike rides. Titanium spokes are, like you said though, poo. And yeah it's pretty good for £4 or whatever, and the mags got some sick pictures too. It's not the best DVD you'll see but it's well worth the cash, inspired me (Y) It's not all about trying to be different it's about progressing in the way you feel you want to go. He dislikes correction hops and so has eliminated them from his riding. In my opinion that shows greater skill than somebody booning at a ledge 20 times before actually getting up it the booning another couple of times before continuing. I do agree that by not correction hopping some moves can look scruffy so i'd be inclined for the happy medium - one or two max.
  12. Again, I'm not talking about scratches or dings or whatever, I mean the parts you put on and the reason why you choose them etc. BMXs are battered because they beat the shit out of them...But that wasn't the point I was getting at. Personally I really can't understand how people don't manage to scratch their bikes... Unless you're undercover road riders :turned:
  13. Buy a copy of DIG or RIDE and take a look at tose guys bikes. Those guys are knarly but they aren't exactly pimping the sweet jesus outta their bikes.
  14. Yeah they sit deeper in the head tube meaning reduced (almost elimination) of the likelihood of flared headtubes... "for people who like to ride into things" Dammit, I'm starting to end up proving that CK parts are worth the money! (front hub is still extravagant though!)
