  1. 22:19 the real mans gear
  2. Your grind didnt last on your hog due to the depth at which you did it. I gave mine the harshest i have ever seen, brand new grinding disc and just went for it. Taken out pieces id say 3mm deep maybe more. Its stayed good for 2 weeks now no trouble with hold and im runnin plaz pads. Great brake combo, has really restored my faith in the hog as a half decent rim. The build may have something to do with it not being true? i f**ked up a 6ft drop after sweat on my grips caused me to land sat on the back wheel,loosened atleast 12 spokes to the point of being able to pull them around, but still spun and only very slightly out of true. As for ceramics.. dont look at me, just a bit sceptical as to why the hog didnt meet your expectations.
  3. Ive had a go on a few peoples bmx's and i have to say it does seem like a sport i would want to get in to, the jumping side of it. Nothing else.. the whole idea of riding street etc and flatland just.. scares me it just feels like theres a lump of steel under you trying to hurt you at any chance it can get. I'd go for trials.. afterall your on trials forum, then if its not for you get a cheapo bmx and start that up to. I do feel though that you get more out of trials, you can do it wherever and whenever you want. Where as bmx if the facilities arent there your stuck doing "boring" stuff. oh and mark the 4 words in your sig are: you are all gay (N)

    People Say...

    Thats such a chav fact. Anyway... My best nights out have always been when ive been wrecked. I have tried along with a friend to go out and not drink, we left within a hour of being out. It literally was that shit, you look around and you just think " what a bunch of wankers " even to your friends. I go out to get pissed like once every month maybe a bit more depending on whats going on in my life, i would label myself as a binge drinker even though i dont drink that often. When i do drink i go all out to get trashed... i have never seen the point in "social drinking" i know alcohol is proper shit for my body so i give it all or nothing attitude. Im not the type of person to sit down with a beer watching football.. because its just alcohol that i didnt need to drink, calories that dont need to be consumed. i dont really like the taste anyway, infact i dont know how people love beer so much i drink alcohol for the drug effect not for the taste. Im sure they can make an unalcoholic drink that tastes like beer. Anyway rant over, i know where your coming from with having proper shit nights out being the "mr sensible driver" that has to drive your piss head mates home, i've been there.. more times than i can count. I dont want people thinking this is another " i must be pissed to have fun post" even though getting drunk and being an arse is great... i dont rely on it to have a good time, hence the reason for not drinking that often.. its just a "change" to the normal every day life funny times. Finally, ive noticed you can really tell who your close friends are and those who use you when your sober and everyone else is drunk. You can see through people so easily.
  5. I've had this happen, the only way i got out of was to ride totally different places. Like i used to ride pretty much everyday before i went to uni, then when i got there i didnt have my bike for about 5 or 6 weeks. I got back on the bike and i was such shite ( the echo stem didnt help ) but anyway... i was riding street all the time and it was just pissing me off how i couldnt do things i know deep down i could make. So i just totally switched and started to bum natural rarely rode street i think in about 2 months i rode street once or twice. It totally changed my perspective as you dont need huge moves or owt to atleast do some lines on natural. Anyway now im sort of 50/50 between natural and street, from riding the natural i regained everything i had lost ( without even practicing it ) and now im surpassing my own expectations most the time. Just do something different, ride natural solid and you will regain everything. Atleast thats what i think anyway
  6. I think that ruthless/revel or whatever frame it is.. its on trashzen somewhere the one with the huge rear disc going around the rim. I reckon eventually they will look something like that, it was just well before its time so no one accepted it for what it was great innovations never get accepted, the coust 3 way tubing was questioned for a while. Anyway if these new style xtp's make the market pretty sharpish i might consider getting one.
  7. I love the stickers that gt put on their frames next to the head tube about dont perfom stunt etc. Pure class comedy. Nice to see a different frame
  8. Front: Cock Bloxx's Rear: Amazing Plazmatics Both maguras but wanting to go front disc... but stuck between the advantages and disadvantages..
  9. superglue anyone? oops.. Two flat surfaces then use superglue.

    Weather

    Very cool, sun out, no breeze, on natural.... but not so cool its snowing ... cos that sucked
  11. happy b day dude, i wish i was at nass but its also my dads birthday today and my friend emma's birthday today... so thats now 3 people with today as their birthday daym
  12. It was weird looking above the gap when it was like to two level surfaces, thats why i started doing it on drop gaps. First thing that i noticed was how smooth it made the gap, then how much like my legs were kicking out to where i was landing which i never seem to do. Just felt really nice, all i do is just stare above for a few seconds but still keeping the edge im landing on in my vision then just aim to towards that height. I guesse it is just practice.. and also being able to lie to yourself is a good thing too ( i lie so much to myself sometimes i forget whats not bullshit and what is ..... im a loser )
  13. Science to win, each to their own but hes the only one with a f**kin personality in there. It seems people want to get rid of the "characters" in the house making it even f**king boringer than it is at the minute as we keep losing big ego people that make great tv. Like last year when the big scottish guy left.. it went down hill... before that there were fights and huge smash ups with security getting brought in.. We want good tv not f**kin shit tv
  14. That has helped me so much! had a quick go on some pallets doing a few drop gaps and it really really helped get extra distance, infact i was looking at it thinking no way can i make it and did.... scarey shit.
  15. why dont you try something along the lines of a sports science course or engineering or some form mark? It's good to have the creative side of music and then the hands on/logical thinking of engineering. Give you a balanced outlook atleast
  16. God help anyone who hasn't studied a level maths in a engineering/physicsy degree Im doing civil engineering just finished my first year and id say about 60% of the maths we learnt was related/went over what was learnt at A level. But they did what took a week of lessons at school in one lecture. Basically.. you would be so butt f**ked if you didnt do it trying to teach yourself even basic algebra, integration etc
  17. didnt read the 05 so no
  18. i would laugh if i saw that
  19. i went for a dell laptop (inspiron 9100) i had to spend a lot of £ to get it to run all the programs i use at uni but the main reason was just the whole having to pack up a pc and take it to uni, not being able to move it around in my room etc. Laptop has just been so much more convenient especially when ive been pushed for space i can just stick it in a bag and move it off my table. My vote goes for laptop even though its going to cost a lot more than a normal spec pc i dont really know any other advantages lol
  20. You spend too much time in new members chat
  21. boa due to weight and geometry, never fell in love with mads
