    Dreams...

    I had a dream about putting rats in a freezer last night.
  2. my bike weighs more than a lot of modern bmxs anyway

    the words "cheesy" and "corny" come to mind, it's like it has been written for children. If that was in Dirt or Ride magazine, the auther would be laughed out of town.
  4. Actually they don't. The headset pictured can adjust the headtube angle by a few degrees (for use on 1.5" and tapered steerer tubes). Road bike stuff is expensive because: a) more money is in the sport and can be used to research and test products, B ) higher grade materials are used, c) Road cycling is made up of middle aged men with high average incomes who can afford to spend £2000 on a chainset rather than teenagers relying on pocket money which is what trials sell most to. Pretty sure I have seen roady wheels that sell for over £4500 EACH.

    well, I am no journalist or much of a writer, but it was possibly the worst written article I have seen for a long time. I am confident I could write something better than that. Unless some stuff was lost in translation?
  6. footjam whip drops, pretty sure they had not been done before Danny. but I agree, most single moves out there are not new, it's just how you use them that matters.
  7. these numbers make me happy I rent!
  8. when I have been out riding natural in the past, I have made myself nearly collapse from pure exhaustion. I would say it was a very good workout!
  9. I can confirm this. He won't let me look at what he's written though, so it could just be a long shopping list.
  10. that's why I like them, plus you don't need batteries. Been playing Skate 3 recently and there are hundreds of combinations you can do without needing more buttons. Not really into fps on consoles as they get owned by PCs, but perhaps more buttons could be handy then.
  11. all that for something that isn't even a problem
  12. I am a ps3 fan personally. costs them more to make them than they sell them for!
  13. those are not what I would call "rusty bolts". It is only a very light surface rust and all you need to do is add some type of lube there
  14. the weight is wrong for those Tioga pedals, they are more near 500g. Not a fan of either personally.
  15. officially owner of the skinniest legs in trials!

    who wrote that Carthy article? Was it that Jebegood fella and you translated it?
  17. That "expression" is what I think these guys seem to lack. To me it's like they have seen what Danny does, make a check-list then go out and cross them off. I know it's hard to come up with all new stuff, and that's why Danny is one of the best because he came up with some unique stuff (or at least took some older stuff to bigger extremes). I take a lot of influence from bmx vids as there is plenty of stuff they do that can cross over. I always think fewer tricks but done with more flow will always look better, and that's probably why I really like riders like Chase Hawk over people like Mark Webb.
  18. I think he's getting at the fact these two do a lot of foot jam whips (and I mean a lot!). In my eyes, that's one of Danny's signature moves and that's the reason I don't really want to learn them. It seems a lot of riders who go and get a 24" and ride street don't really "get" it, it is about expressing yourself. Doing exactly the same stuff as other people seems to be missing the point a little. I am willing to eat humble pie if the dvd is actually pretty good though.
  19. not sure if that was a serious post or not so I'll assume not.
  20. I loved the original Dues X game so I downloaded the new one. It seems very good, but annoyingly I have to run it on the lowest setting possible for my computer to play it with no lag, but then the curser arrow is not visible for all the vital things like hacking and sorting augments and stuff, so I have to keep swapping between quality depending on what's happening which is very annoying!
  21. they are very good riders for sure, but there is something about them that doesn't seem "right"
  22. when I saw the pic, I thought it was your cheapest model, I was quite surprised to see it's one of the higher end ones. Not to say it looks shit though, I am a fan of understated colours and matt black is pretty cool.
  23. really nice, music went perfectly and I saw my friend!!!! Keep it up!
