Christian's only gave it the identity and wrote a book about it. Gods were a way of explaining away events in the world that weren't understood at the time. The Greeks obviously spring to mind with Thor being the God of thunder getting angry or whatever. Gods have always been a human creation to try and explain away what we don't understand. In the case of the major organised religions they've just been promoted by greed and exploitation of the weak which for some crazy reason has allowed them to endure. Unfortunately.

I think it's a fictional vehicle called the gyronocaropteriplane. I think I may write a book about it and see if I can get some people to believe me and maybe start some fights with anyone who tries to call it a car. Maybe then imprison and torture anyone who says it's a car until they also believe it's a gyronocaropteriplane. That could work... and I might even be able to make some money along the way too... don't think that business plan has ever been carried out in history. Now to put together a pitch for Dragons' Den...

A lot of riders don't even use the seat for barspins these days though.

The day it becomes cool to run BMXes without seats (that day will come...) is the day it'll be cool to run 24" trials bikes without seats.

I can imagine some serious slagging matches going on in there too! Like the TGS debate but about who first created light and who thought the Platypus would be a good idea...

I think you'll find, in the 34 page previous topic, we discovered that the meaning of life, and the catalyst for creation, was FeS. I forget why.

Get a job you bum!!

See above. Chernobyl and evolution is quite different. The mutations caused by radiation affected the genetics of the parents and the resulting children have genetic defects which has resulted in cancers and all sorts of other medical problems. The mutation is in their genes and if they have kids, the problems will most likely be passed on. The flu thing is also more a mutation than evolution. The bacteria builds an immunity to the drugs we create to kill them and when that happens we have to make up a new strain (and name) for the virus. Do you ever think... life could only possibly exist on this planet because it's the correct distance from the sun? One feeds the other, not the other way round. Your 'fluke of rubbish' theory is just plain and simple ignorance born from your blindness to anything other than what your book tells you. To me it's nothing to do with 'belief'. I know both sides of the story, reasonably well in both cases. One side has absolutely zero basis in anything even remotely sensible, reasonable or possible. The other actually has a fair amount of fact, sense and possibility behind it. Without being too nasty, everything you say comes back to your ignorance. You simply don't seem to have a clue about anything to do with evolution, space, genetics, science even. I don't mean to be condescending (although I know I'm quite good at doing it unintentionally) but you (and possibly most other people who believe in creationism (Hannah ) seem to be uneducated in anything relating to the scientific theories which you're so willing to dismiss. Open your eyes dude... it often helps you to see what's in front of your nose.

I don't understand the link... the image can turn either way depending which part you focus on to start with. Chocolate foot () is irrelevant.

Damn, I missed that one. Yeah, go and read a Wikipedia page on genetics and breeding or something. We all evolved from basic life forms, right back to bacteria etc., but along the way, different species evolved which took a new route down the chain, forming the basis for everything we see now. Those different chains tend not to be compatible. Cats can breed with cats, even in the extreme (Liger anyone) but a cats gene's simply aren't compatible with a dog, elephant or giraffe- comical though those combinations may be.

I'm here! Don't close it yet . How dare you. How very dare you. Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or if you've just spent way too much time in the States... That just makes me laugh. You 'believe' what you want. Whatever. You don't, however, know anything. 'The winning side' as opposed to what? The billions of Muslims, Jews, Buddhists etc. etc. who are all going to burn in eternal damnation? Good for you, man, hope you don't get lonely on your pedestal. And to be completely honest from what you said in the previous thread, if you weren't just worm food when you die you'd be in for a really big disappointment. I don't know that of course but I'd be willing to make one serious bet on it! Edit: Oh yeah, the Creationist stuff. To be fair, anyone who believes that shite seriously need to take a long hard look at themselves and try and remove themselves from the tea party they're having in Fairy Tale Land and try attempt to find some reality. (Sledghammer-esque enough?) Edit2: Nice one. You got me there. Oh, wait, since Darwin's time we've come on massively in science (no thanks to the church of course who if they had their way would still have us believe the Sun revolves around the Earth) and advances such as the analysis of DNA can prove the genetic link between species and we can pretty much map the way animals have evolved over millions of years. Darwin was right, even if he wasn't quite convinced of it himself.

Get a room.

Are you retarded?

Was that suicide though? Seemed a little odd the way it went down. That guy was crazy though- the Matterhorn 'flight' was just nuts- he must've been so bloody close at a few points down there!

1) They were f**king amazing. 100x better than the pants that was in the 'world championships' crap in London. 2) Were those basketball shots for real? How many takes?!! 3) That poor puppy! Awesome.

Kidding I presume Mr Abbey? He said that every single line in the video took hours and hours of attempts to get right. Consistency is never going to be easy to achieve when you're pushing the boundaries of what's possible with things people have never tried before.

But it's still unfortunate, shall we say, that the Effect has been advertised as being 'available soon' for the past year or so. By delaying it so much they're really shooting themselves in the foot.

Quite surprised Lewis didn't get a 10 place penalty or whatever for hindering Buemi... I thought that was a certainty!

Phat pads on smooth. Quiet, powerful with good modulation, bling, replaceable... basically perfect for 24"!

I don't doubt it but that doesn't help the fact that people have been awaiting the 'imminent' arrival of the Effect for months and I imagine a lot of those people are going to have decided to just go and buy and Inspired or Deng. Last I heard it was component specs on the complete's that were holding up the Ashton's but the frames should've been available for the past few months. At this rate Onza will have released a fashionable replacement for the Zoot before the final Effects land...

Try the Phat pads on the smooth rim first. I'm running that on my Inspired and it's really good .

Wrong section of the forum. Jeez.

You gotta ask yourself what Ashton are playing at... Deng seems to have pushed these out in a few months from conception to retail. The Effects have been on the cards for years it seems and still no sign. Can't help thinking the Effect will be too late now...
