  1. Pretty sure last nights was episode 4 mate so if you watch or record it on sunday or tuesday (i think) when it repeats then your up to date and can watch episode 5 next thursday.
  2. Haha, i see what you mean in that bottom left picture! Yer tis a good show imo. But i got behind on a few episodes and had to watch them on youtube so just to make sure, tonights episode is number 4 isn't it?
  3. I'm not sure how or why but i just think it would feel incredibly out of order an the guilt you would feel would be even worse than the mourning if you get me. I'm sure put under the situation in reality however almost all of us would be at least tempted. To sidetrack a bit imagine if a machine like that was invented, how scary it would be. People killing withought any guilt etc.

    Snow!

    No photos (cos i didn't want to carry a camera out having snowball fights) but ours was around 6ft 8inch. Miles taller than someone who was 6ft 2inch. Suuuuuccchhh a good day. Apart from 20 asians attacking 2 of the girls we were with with snow while we were in a cafe. Not just throwing snowballs at them but pushing them to the ground and shoving snow their mouths etc. Bastards Were all atleast 18/19 aswell.
  5. I got my D50 kit for £350 refurbished a while back (still with full warrenty) and my friend recently got one from the same shop for £300. Obviously doesn't come with the offboard flash but means you can relatively easily set it up in the future. I've just brought an SB-600 flash for £150 and it seems really good- powerfull as. I'm also getting some wireless slaves off ebay for around £19 which will allow me to run it offboard. The kits go on ebay fairly cheap aswell. As you don't want a zoom you could get just a body only (theres one on ebay now with 33 minutes left going for £200 with all the extras and a remote etc.) and then something like a 50mm f1.8 lense for around £90. This is alot less wide angle then the kit lense (18-55mm) though so you might be better off with the kit lense to start with- i certainly couldn't live with only a 50mm). I know it will end up a bit over your budget but if you find a bargain not alot or could even be under (excluding flash setup as that's just unrealistic ) and i think DSLR's will have a higher resale value aswell? People may reccoment the Fuji Range aswell for a non DSLR that suits most of your options for around £200 but i'm not sure about wireless flash with them
  6. Shit I can't actually imagine what families and friends must be going through, it's so hard to imagine it ever happening to me but its also so real. RIP.
  7. Lol ok fair enough . Found a UK ebay store that does em and i've ordered video camera lense before from them an there all good. Still lemmie know if everyone falls through though Mike .
  8. Dibs on them if ailsbury decides he doesn't want them
  9. Amen to that. Don't scout out perfect nose shaped seeds and put them up your nose so as to blow out really hard and fire them at girls, and even more so; don't get shocked and breathe in to much while doing this!
  10. Everyone always says to go Mini DV but i got a Sony Digital8 off ebay for £120 and it's doing me proud! They're slighly bigger but personally that doesn't worry me as they're more stable. It has many more features than you'd expect for a MiniDV Camera around that price, a manual focus ring etc.
  11. Fair enough, so was i half really
  12. Then why does it have BMX VIDEOS AND QUESTIONS THREADS? Answer: Trials riders can ride other things aswell so there is still plenty of BMXers on here and possibly roadies etc. Reason he asked on here instead of a roadie forum? Not sure, perhaps effort to sign up to one if he hasnt already but also with trials riders he'd have more in common with them and are more likely to be a similair age range- important stuff when your riding 50miles with them.
  13. Haha thanks, will probably make another one out of a thicker bar though as it flexes a fair bit. I'll also make it so that the handle angles down towards the camera rather than up so that when held low filming lines with a fisheye the camera points slightly up without your hand having to. Some real nice setups though. Partz what is the camera that's his old one?
  14. Ok so we've had the post your photo setup and i know alot of people on here are into filmography aswell as photography. So why not post your video setup? I'd be interested to see what people like Jonny Jones and Nick Godard use, VX's or TRV's? I'll start: Sony TRV350E Digital 8 Camera Cheap ass Futin 0.45 Wide Angle lense because i was skint. Ghetto home made handle complete with Odyssey BMX grip Velbon CX 440 Large(ish) tripod Jessops TB318 Mini(ish) tripod I'm planning on getting a different fisheye lense (was looking at the 0.3X clip on ones) and a Bescor video light soon aswell as a polarizing filter. So what do you use? Post pictures aswell if you can And also post any upgrades your planning.
  15. Yer i've had the arm thing, is scary! But the even more scary one is where you wake up and theres a hand like over you face and it doesn't feel like your hand at all and you can't fell it and think someones trying to suffocatre you or something untill you realise it's your hand :$ Anyone else or am I just wierd?
  16. I saw that video on the come up, it was his entry to the 4down video sponsorship comp. One of the wooden parks his fufanus the back board of is Horsham (near Brighton), went tripping there just the other week Oh and i know it's been posted earlier but i'll take this oportunity to tell everyone to bookmark the come up and check back regularly, is an awesome website run by a new york rider and Steve DFTU makes posts on there to. Is just a general blog of videos they've found on the web or been sent, mainly streety orientated but a bit of everything. THE COME UP
  17. It's really wierd to see bands like Gallows, Captain Everything and Enter Shakari in here. The reason being they all come from around me and i heard about them/went to their gigs ages ago before anyone not from round here knew about them . Seems wierd to see them getting big. Im not a fan of that kinda genre but good luck to them. I guess watford has quite a good music scene really. Been listning to alot more foreign beggars stuff recently. Along with Jehst, Murs, Jurassic 5, Jedi Mind Tricks and other stuff like that. Oh and Wiley aswell. Anyone feel like reccomending some more music along that kinda genre? EDIT: O an going to see Plan B in february aswell.
  18. Nikon D50 Nikon 18-55mm kit lense Velbon CX450 Big Tripod for when i go out to shoot photos Jessops TP 318 smaller tripod (but can still go to about chin height) for just popping into my bag. A case logic solid bottom case Im planning on a 50mm f1.8 in the near future, and then a flash gun. Most likely the SB-600. O yer an then the good ole Pentax ME Super with a 50mm lense
  19. Really sorry about that RIP

    Ntl Users

    Im on NTL and that site links through perfectly fine for me. As other people have said though i often have to turn it all off and back on again to get any connection to the internet whatsoever and sometimes it just wont work for a few hours (the internet in general not that particular link).
  21. Im a bit late but happy near year! (Plus i just wanted to try a post with the new layout ) Went to a quality party last night, woot new years kisses all round.
  22. Why do i see no poll? Im confused.

    I jus evened it out at 50/50 by saying i LOVE it! Is just a good time of year. Have a holiday off school for a start and i just like to make the most out of christmas an birthdays etc cos it gives me somethign to look forward to. Also theres something magical about this time of year in general. I know it's cold and everything but those crisp, cloudless days with the frost are amazing.
  24. There we go, not great but i don't have alot of pictures of animals and was just a quick snap. I'll hopefulyl replace it with something better before the 23rd.
