stop it joe, you're too good now.

wheelbuilding genius...

let the bike fly up. try not to touch the back brake until your wheel touches the edge. it is hard at first, but makes it easier to go bigger, as even if you hit it waaay to low with the back, it can still roll up. on correctly placed landings it looks mega smooth too, add a little manual if you are feeling lucky. also, less brake squeak = quieter = smoother. find a nice wall and just go for it over and over and over.

plough. try to go through the wall. the harder the better. it is scary, but keep at it. increase tyre pressure up front. any height is a good height. i can tap 1.5' if i try. about 3ft is good to start practising them though, as any lower is harder really. patience is key.

Word.

"my" kit is actually borrowed, so i am afraid not, hehe. drums are the only real instruments, so good choice sir.

I'd have a look around for second hand kits. Ideally something like a 4 piece kit, which gives you snare, bass and two toms (most often one suspended rack tom and one floor tom). it will most likely be cheaper than getting an extra rack tom, which in my opinion and many others, is unnecessary for a fair while. I've played with 2 toms lots, and i don't feel the need for 3 or more toms, but if dream theater and stuff like that is your thing, then more toms might be better. also, about cymbals, try to stay off the very very cheapest, they are rubbish. they will dent/bend and will sound shoddy. try to pick some decent entry level cymbals up, like a set (hihats, crash and ride) of sabian b8 or so, they do sound pretty well considering the price! remember that some ride cymbals will be OK as a second crash, something that i have been using my ride as, and many other drummers i know and know of. the most important thing to remember is that the sound of the drums can be affected greatly with a good set of drum heads and proper tuning. sure, it's not super dooper important if you're just starting out, but if you've played a bit, and especially other people's kits, you might want your sound better. i'd recommend remo pinstripe or evans g2 heads for the batter side of the toms, and something like clear evans g1 heads for the resonant sides. i'd also recommend a evans power centre head for the snare, it is VERY durable and sounds great, good for people who like to hit fairly hard, if you're into jazz or something softer, something like an evans genera dry may be better. but if you're just starting out, focus on playing and not buying shit, even though there's nothing better than a fresh set of heads on the drums remember, drums are bloody expensive, and it's like a trials bike, you know it makes sense trying to buy the most expensive stuff you can, as it will work better and sell for more should you fancy taking guitar up like rest of the world have fun! edit: i am no drum god, but add me to msn if you wanna and i'll may be able to answer some of your questions...

i'd rather cut myself in the face with a hacksaw than deal with them. i believe i have told my story before about my rim magically disappearing inside the shop.. end of story was that i got it from tarty... the only way.

white rims are good. just dont buy them from koxx sweden or i WILL rape you.

try emailing michel coust to see if he has any left, easiest.

in my room, on the 8th floor.

word. gothenburg has some good street though, at least what ive seen in johanneberg/linne/centrum. good pix.

I won. My bike is 100% deng free, and has been for a fair while! I scored 360.

I have the same experience with the cousts as bigman does. i too have ridden in the shallow pools by the waterside in bristol, and brake was just as good. also my claim to fame, i designed and prototyped the aluminium backings that were later branded heatsink

it has been raining every day for two weeks now, no joke. and it is cold and dark. it usually makes me very depressed, but this autumn is different. i am very happy for some reason. whoa.

i oil my chain some times, and fiddle with my back brake. rest of the bike remains untouched unless i break something.

it is the song. it made us do it.

FS is hardly chav music though... so much more intellectual.

Hard to put the wheel in a pole though.

my tip is simple. ever had a manual dream? if you have, the manuals are not far away. i had been practising manuals for ages. then i had one of them dreams (those who have had them know what i am talking about). then some weeks later it just clicked and i remember the feeling from the dream.

laakso, dashboard confessional, firefox ak, rilo kiley, razorlight (up all night, not the new album), interpol is good too.

wrap a chain around the sprocket, fasten the sprocket in a vice, and give it some beans.

martin t has used his v12 mag/ti pedals for like 4 years. for trials.
