  1. A leaky syringe is bad! It might let air in. Fast and slow - how fast you push the water in. If you squeeze the syringe in quickly it should get stuff moving inside the brake more.
  2. Submerge the whole brake, fully done up, and squeeze it and see if there's air coming from anywhere. Squeeze the slave cylinders together with your other hand to get some decent pressure. Fast-and-slow always worked for me, even for completely empty brakes. Fill the syringe up almost all the way, and gently bleed the brake with the entire thing. Lock it all and fill the syringe back up, then repeat a few times squeezing the syringe pretty hard. There are lots of little opportunities for air to get in. If you're bath bleeding, if the brake comes out of the water while no bolts are in it, air will get in. Same applies for syringe bleeds but the syringe on its own can hold the pressure. Failing that, a double-syringe bleed might be good, because you can properly monitor the air coming out.
  3. Bleed fast and bleed slow. Bleed with a syringe.
  4. I don't get why flipping sideways, or rolling, isn't a barrel roll. To me, he clearly does a double barrel roll but he doesn't really land it.
  5. You've got that camera logo, why not have a card with that same shape, similar location, punched out? Might be a bit more expensive but it'll be attention-grabbing. Literally all you'd need is on one side, the punched camera and Dave Harding Creative by it, and some minimal contact details. The fact there's a camera cutout will suggest you're a photographer, so you needn't necessarily put photography on there, although you could go for 'photography | digital imaging' or something if you want to let people know you're good for photoshop too. You can stamp out just the aperture in the lens or the whole camera shape. Stamping the lens out would be cheaper/easier.
  6. Whatever that dropgap was that broke the bike, that was... ...unbelievable. I'd like to see it made!
  7. Here's another thing. Other people don't matter. It's your life, it's your choice whether someone else is part of it, even slightly. It might be worth noting for the most part people take a lot of shit before they snap and kick off. You might find yourself as an example. Others are the same. Finally, if you get abuse from someone, stand up for yourself and they'll quit. If you let them abuse you, they'll keep doing it.
  8. Take the advice. Give it a go. You're already here, you're aware you want an improvement. Go from there.
  9. It means either evil or wicked sick yo, you could interpret evil as awful but I'd choose not to.
  10. It's worth noting that a lot of things that go on in your mind and body are just chemicals. The brain, and indeed the rest of the body is just a bag of chemicals. You feel depressed because you are missing some chemical/s in your brain and body that cause happiness, for whatever reason. It's also worth noting that thoughts that appear in your head are of little value. Your brain continues to fire neurons off regardless, and sometimes this results in thoughts. You don't need to pay attention to them. It might be hard to get a sense of this because thoughts seem so familiar but it's genuinely just your brain doing its thing. Another thing I'd mention is the way that memory is formed. Your brain is a massive web of connections - one thing leads to another. Connections get stronger the more they are used - hence the way practice works. Thus, the more you listen to depressive thoughts, the more of a habit this becomes. Perhaps you also associate self harm and contemplating suicide with some kind of feeling of relief. I'm sure you know there are better ways to achieve relief. My advice is this: - If there's some external cause, e.g another person or situation that makes you feel miserable, avoid them, avoid it. Get away from whatever causes you that stress. - Get out and do something physical, and something fun. Something you need to concentrate at - this part is key. Getting active will prod your body into producing endorphins which will make you feel better, but this will work a lot better if you can let go of your negative thoughts and be fully absorbed in it. This is what's known as samadhi in Buddhism, where you absorb yourself so much that you become unaware of anything else other than what you're doing. In this state of mind there won't be any negative thoughts to limit the endorphin rush of the activity. - Learn to understand thoughts in your head are a product of your brain ticking over, so to speak, and don't have any foundation in real life. They don't need any attention. Thinking negatively has become a habit - try to break this habit by noticing negative thoughts, catching them in progress and stopping them with a firm 'no'. You might want to replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts - whatever the negative thought was, think the positive opposite. Eventually thinking positively will become a habit. It's great to do things and achieve things, and use these achievements as an arsenal of positive thoughts. - It might be worth practising meditation. Sitting down with a good, straight back and breathing deeply from your abdomen/diaphragm, try to concentrate on your breathing. The sound, or the feeling of your stomach moving, or the breath on your nostrils as you breathe out. You could count each breath up to 10 and then start again. Concentrate on this and deflect all thoughts. If you notice yourself thinking, stop and go back to the breathing. If your attention wanders, start counting your breaths from 1 again. This is good practice for what I mentioned in the previous point. I don't know who you really are so I don't know how much, if any, of this you know. Above all, remember this - a time will come when you're free of negativity and you can enjoy life. You can do it, you are doing it. Work towards this.
  11. I didn't know wicked meant awful.
  12. I keep putting this, but I keep adding to this tune I'm playing on the guitar and it's getting better and better
  13. So it's called 'Crewkers Cleep'?

    back pain

    I suffer from back pain after a while when riding. One time recently it was really bad, because of an awkward exercise I was doing in part of this workout. I only managed to get in about 30 mins of actual riding. Flipp would vouch that I was probably lying, the f**ker That took about 2 weeks to properly die down and only recently would I say that it's close to 100% fixed. Anyway, I found that a good set of stretches each day helps. I advise this stretch where you sit down cross legged and then reach forward on the floor, stretching your back and pushing an imaginary (or indeed real, if you want) object away from you. When you get close to the bottom, hold it for a bit, maybe 20 seconds, and come back up. Do it a few times, 3 times maybe. You're a bit of a bodybuilder so I'm sure you'd know you'd be a fool to try it without warming up! Something else I noticed which doesn't help - posture. Check to see what the angle of your pelvis is like, if it's too angled, it'll curve your back more than it need be.
  15. Get yourself to a quality dojo and learn some martial arts. 1 - You meet lots of new people. 2 - You have to get up close and personal with them, which will help lower your inhibitions. 3 - You learn how to block and counter-attack, which means you will know what to do in some situations, which improves your confidence. 4 - It's something to work at.
  16. This is what I think when I see that.
  17. 우리에게 Korea-trial이는 말해야만 한다요! Haha, takes so long to use Korean.
  18. Chocolate spread, raspberry jam, marshmallow fluff and peanut butter, in one toasted double f**king decker sandwich.
  19. Haha, that's cool, man. What course are you on, that involves photoshop like that?
  20. It's because Mr. Shell is worried that if suddenly electricity is cheap as piss to produce, he won't be able to feed his kids with his practically infinite stash of money. Replace 'kids' with ego or whatever Mr. Shell actually cares about.
  21. It'd be cool to see the reference pictures too.
  22. Haha, that last sentence.
  23. 그거 무슨 도시 입니다?
  24. Moral there tie your wheel to the bike rack with an extra piece of cord.
