two things i can think of were, 1. dialog was almost there but just too cheesy and like you were thinking on the spot. At one stage it sounded like a toothpaste commercial where they pay people to 'act real life'. 2. No contact details, where to buy, price etc. Not even a hint. Which for a promotion is kinda important? If there was, i can't remember seeing any, and i only watched it 10 seconds ago. other than that it was ok, i think i know the sort of style you were going for, but to pull it off you really need to believe in what you are saying or love what you are trying to explain. So maybe you should take a less personal view on it and just make something short, snappy and too the point. Rather than sugar coating the whole thing. Show the shirts (intro was good), show a badass riding clip with you wearing a shirt, maybe ride back to the camera and show it off- no need for dialog, finish with some sort of graphic with a catchy statement and priece/place to buy or whatever. Oh and remember who you are trying to sell it to, these guys/gals are your mates, fellow riders etc, just chill and have a laugh, don't be too serious with it.

sunny here too, might go out on't bmx on my own i guess.

the second release is usualyl after the nme lineup is released i think. don't quote me on that though.

It isn't the first time though thats you've gone past the acceptable level of bumming. I haven't got anything against you, your a sound guy and a great rider, but to constantly bum koxx by hinting that other companies can't quite cut it just gets to me. Onza are a sound company that put a lot more heart and sole into the sport than koxx, that constantly try to rip off their customers and are just plain shit really. Fair enough, you've got to put in a good word for them, but you are coming from completely the wrong, and very bias angle. And as for the nice bikes comment, i think my bike is nice enough thanks, it doesn't have to cost me the earth to ride how i want it, and i certainly wouldn't ride a koxx if they paid me (ahem) anyway. A lardy dar carbon top tube isn't on my list of things that make the world a beutiful place to be honest. Id much rather pay a fraction of the price and have fun riding, than take out a loan and carry a packet of baby wipes for everytime my frame comes into contact with the real world. I don't wanna start an argument, so hit me up with your hate and your predictable koxx brown nose routine, and i'll get on with my life.

shh , it was all on and working before i realised it made more loops than a packet of polos, plus it's as long as a marathon and i didn't wanna risk cutting it down just yet, so it doesn't make too much difference which way it went.... ..yeh basically i'm gay at that sorta stuff. anyway, sentenced to life is ok, not worth the £18 i paid for it though, plus the menu music is doing my head in. Some really good lines in it, but bit too much park for my liking. Although i ain't watched the extras yet.

it seems really good actually, its deffo a two finger lever becasue i cut my bars down to 23", pulls alot easier and i managed to get a lot more tension in the cable so it's alot more like my old maggie setup, rather than the slack standard break. got some plaz pads too which made a massive difference so it's all good. Alot more enjoyable to ride. As for the forks, hahaha!, erm, i take it you mean backwards? I just checked em and they are deffo exactly inline with my headtube, but is that a good thing? I thought only dirt forks had a slight forwards offset? I've only hit them once when i clipped a wall and landed front first, hence my bent lever, i don't think it was harsh enough to bend them though.

couple of new bits courtesy of alans and tartys. pics 'cos i feel like it just watching the free alans 25 year dvd, its pretty decent actually, then gonna watch Sentenced to Life. Mint.

looks pretty real to me, theres a woman at work called 'wang' heh, and she says cock instead of cook, double heh. oh waht episode of southpark is she in please?

oh my god, when he did that shoulder tense thing they looked like two balloons, btw, when you look at the pic below, does anyone else think it looks like a guy with regular shoulders, inside a mega body suite. Kinda like earthworm jim?, or is that just me....

could you explain a little more or post a link to somewhere, i'm interested.

ooh, i wonder who is sponsored by koxx in here, i just can't tell at all... [/sarcasm]

line up looks shit.

the french will buy anything thats french over something from elsewhere. Thats the way they are so i guess koxx can rape them for cash simply becasue they are narrow minded gays. i've noticed that in france about 8 out of 10 cars are from french manufacturers. as for the frame, its ok i guess, don't really like that fact that the tube is a different colour, could of made the whole bike grey. anyway, didn;t onza do this like 7 months ago?

http://www.mp3players.co.uk/mp3/site/uk/en..._102_512mb.html they seem popular, my mate at work has one and it seems ok... or just in general check out http://www.mp3players.co.uk/mp3/site/

I think joes helmet is cool. and you are probably right mark (as-if you're ever wrong) but i'll see how the dirty harry goes, it's not as-if cable levers are megabucks to replace anyway. (anyway i'm saving up all my regret for when my yellow cable arrives, hahahaha).

2mb/s here too, my brothers mate in sweden is on 250mb/s apparently, (and no i didn't get it wrong). he has burnt loads of standard network cards as a result. apparently he's managed to bag a network card fast enough to keep up but he's soon to be upgrading to even faster. other countries are waaaaaay ahead of the uk in terms of internet connection. 2mb is so poor in the whole sceme of things really. Plus they only pay a fraction of the price. That swedish connection for example is the equivilant of £8 a month. My mate's bt connection once logged in at 9.2gb for around 10 minutes, so we can easily go quicker, as long as they de-restrict it at 'their' end. As for my opinion on my connection, well its not too bad in terms of stability, its usually on 24/7/365, depending on wether or not my pc skrews up the router. My ping on CS is normally around 7, and downloading is respectable. However some streaming can be a bit iffy which is unacceptable really, and uploading is just a joke. I could run into town and hand deliver some stuff quicker than it takes to upload it. oh, and all this is with 4 pcs and an xbox or 2 all the time, which it copes with fine. All ethernet too, none of this lardy dar wireless crap.

what a waste of crayons.

good pics, i like the clouds in the last two. did you or your mate submit photos to www.randombmx.com? ie:

if it wasd kidney stones you'd of gone to the doctors a long time ago. i doubt anyone would put up with kidney stone pain for more than 1 night. could be some other kind of stones though, bladder maybe? although that isn't really stomach orientated. or could be you apendix, although probably unliklely from your symptoms, have a look on the nhs website and anser the questions, that could give you some sort of idea. annd finally, it could just be trapped wind. I've had numerous nights where i couldn't sleep due to being in immense pain so i know exactly what you mean. However it eventually went away.

so who won?

nice one, i think everything looks good in white and your spokes are no exception, though your wheel is seriously bling, compaired wih the rest of your bike. I love you frame colour too, sorta gun metal grey. how heavy is it out of interest, is it a big difference compaired with your old one? and that pic is decent, she got the timing right, now you just gotta teach her some angles, oh and, nice shoes you got there, very....unique.

hahah too late oh and get pics of your wheel up please, i wnna see white spokes.

edit, sorry didn't read the quote, just ordered it from alans with my new brake bits.

sexeh, nice one joe. dirty harry it is, and i'm trying to resist buying a cheesy coloured cable.

k, i bent my lever being a pussy. i bent it back (too easily) and decided i couldn't do with it snapping out on a ride so i'm gonna buy a new one. basically, can someone tell me what is the best lever, or a few different ones, i heard dirty harry is quite good but the odyssey mono looks really nice. also any suggestions on pads/cable etc are more than welcome.
