  1. Sell my moped. Get a motorbike. Pass a full motorbike test. Possibly start driving lessons. Join the gym again. Eat less. Ride trials a LOT more (2007 I was going to big rides every week, I progressed a lot in my first year, 2008 I hardly rode at all, if anything I've got worse). Spend less money (I think I've spent nearly every penny I've earnt since September).
  2. 6 million dollars onto one area, hobby or subject..? I'd have a gigantic play arena and/or gym (you know an upscaled kids play gym, with ball pools and obstacles etc). Think what 6 million could get you in that, you could be in there for hours without seeing the same obstacle twice.
  3. Onza T-Vee - I changed it as I was running a magura on 2 bolt mounts which moved all the time. Onza T-Pro - Lovely bike, perfect geo, not excessively low or long, but I cracked it around the headtube/downtube gusset. Echo Lite - This frame is like my best friend, there are times when I don't get on with it, or say its too long for (I always wonder what it would be like if I bought the shorter version), but not having the money to change it means I have been able to stick to it, and its really growing on me now, it doesn't necessarily suit my style and I don't look that comfrtable on it, but I think I'm going to ride it 'til the end. Awaits Nick Manning's ridiculously long list of bikes/frames he has had.
  4. He couldn't come to the country any earlier could he?, there is a big ride planned for the 1st of March. http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/event.php?eid=53571166284
  5. Forza 2 and skate. Wasn't UNO the one that was filled with grown men, playing on livecam, having a wank? I'll guess you'll soon find out if it is or isn't Callum.
  6. I'd be down for riding anywhere in Essex. Just give us a shout when definate.
  7. Now that I'm older, I actually think the same thing. Got a camcorder, tripod, Jimmy Carr DVD, shower stuff, JOOP!, beer, jelly beans, monies and vouchers. I liked what my boss got me, a £20 Game card and dog tags which have information held on a memory stick.
  8. Come on, get with the times, its all about the lacqured finish. But as with the current price rises in the cycle industry, it is really going to affect bsuiness, large and small.
  9. Absolutely nothing as of yet. Should be expecting a camcorder tomorrow morning ahaha.
  10. Corr for titanium that sure is a heavy frame.
  11. The Onza cable disc brakes are mental, and that is with standard cable and lever. I've only tried a front one but that was sharper than my Hope, so I'd imagine a rear would be just as good. Forget going to a bb7 or Hope, see how you get on with them and you might like it just by replacing the lever and cable. Their stopping power really surprised me when I first had a go of one, I'd recommend them to anyone.
  12. I think he was after one that converts the ones he already has, rather than having to download them. I use videora, no watermarks or cuts in the film, and it automatically imports it into your iTunes when its done converting.
  13. Awesome, would like to session on skate soon, only done the online once with; Jon, Dan and Callum. =( Forza would be nice too. =D
  14. Twister EDIT: Google Images "Twister" with safesearch off, that looks like fun on Christmas day. =D
  15. Oooh another fiver, is this like an auction. No on a more serious note, no matter what the gift is big or small its always the thought that counts. I'm sure I'd rather have something that costs less but is relevant to me more than something that costs more. Just think what do they like? and what can you get with what you have got? £5 and £10 gift vouchers?, yes it may seem cheap but if the gift your going to get them will cost that much, why not buy them a voucher which will help buy something they would rather have than a smaller gift?
  16. Videora? http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/
  17. Any skate shoes will do. I do make sure to have another pair ready for when the current ones wear out (it usually tends to be I'd have a set for riding, and a set for casual wear, once the riding ones have had their time I use the casual wear ones and buy a new set). Not so much the soles wearing out, but all the lining thining and compressing doesn't make the shoe as good, as they are not as solid and stable as what they are when new.
  18. That is a nice piece, I bet you can't wait to get that finished. How much is that setting you back?
  19. A longer allen key (or spanner). I guess whilst everyone is on the topic of making it tighter, having an allen that is like double the length of one that comes in a normal allen key set obviously gives you greater leverage, but there is a significant difference in amount of tightening torque you get from it.
  20. Exactly, Hence why my cat is just over a year old and hasn't been out yet. Especially if there are a lot of birds or other wildlife about, they'll chase them and soon end up somewhere bad.
  21. Extreme Ironing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_ironing http://www.extremeironing.com/
  22. My dad always put curry powder down in the garden to stop the neighbours cats. He was tempted to put mustard on the cats arse. Purely because it would have to lick it off sooner or later. =D
  23. As far as I know, you pretty much tell people what you want to do (in case cycle a certain distance or whatever cycle related charity you are doing), get sponsor forms (name and details of the people donating), do the event, get the money, and then donate it to that charity.
  24. Do previous Onza's count? I miss my old T-Pro, that was beastly.
