  1. Monty foams are super thin, I really liked mine. Changed to some random Insane grips (24seven mod-style grips), and they're dying rapidly. Last set of Monty's lasted me a year and a half and didn't tear, they'd just worn thin 'n' hard. Well worth a look for £4-5? Mark.

  3. Yeah, I hear steel tubing double diamond frames have never been done before (Y)
  4. Ad speaketh the truth. I really wanted a Semi-MX, but it just didn't feel all that comfy, so I didn't buy it. That was a year ago, when I needed to replace my year and a half (at least) old helmet. One year on, still using the same helmet. Really do need to get a new one, but I don't really like any of them out there now apart from the Xen, but don't want to/can't spend £90 on a new helmet. Mark.

    Poole

    What about doing it YMSA-style so you have to start at 11am and finish at 3-4pm (whichever), and have 2 minutes per section? 'cos otherwise, if there's horrific queueing you're all up shit creek? Sounds like a good idea otherwise, good luck with it.
  6. How come she's perfectly in focus despite moving amazingly fast, but the rest are all blurry despite hardly moving though? Two different clips juxtaposed together, methinks. I can't believe that's real, especially from the way time speeds up as she goes through...
  7. I thought it was until someone filled him up with 9 bullets... How inaccurate can you be? :(\
  8. It just seemed to lack any sort of flow, really. Like in the start of the 2nd quarter, they played for a full 4 seconds before the first stop, stood around for 2 minutes, went back to playing, played for a whole 10 seconds that time, stopped, played for a few seconds more, then someone randomly scored for Phil. Weird. I dunno, I guess it's just the fact that they look proper stupid in all that padding that sways my opinion, 'specially after seeing the Wales - England rugby game where that one Welsh back just stopped that guy running at full pelt towards him by picking him up by the waist, then holding him up in the air. Twice. That was insane... I don't really like rugby either, but that was awesome...

    Warning!

    To be fair, it IS a T-Mag, it's just taht everyone barraged him with "It's a T-Pro, it's a T-Pro" when it clearly isn't :(\
  10. Where they've been cleaned for/by the welding?
  11. Or www.real.com and get the Real Player?

    Koxx

    The Koxx Gothic animation is still in there. If you go into the News section, it's in one of the topics there. http://www.koxx.fr/website/surprise/KO%20XXI/KOXXgothic.php /\ Thar. If that link doesn't work, go into Koxx.fr, into Trial, News, then click on the pic of the chapel thing.
  13. I'm kinda tempted by these, but how come they cost more from Fatmike? I seem to remember Janson saying something about sending Michel Coustellier the money, so are people still able to do that?
  14. That's probably so if you want to take the UCI bash off (e.g. if you're on mod) you've got something there to put on in the place of the bash, so there's something betwixt the freewheel and the crank arm, for a bit more stability?
  15. b*****d expensive stems :( Time to be putting my money into my bank account for some online ordering, methinks...
  16. I can't ride stock for shit (I can't even ride mod for shit :)). I just got fed up of taking a hit to the sack every time I backwheeled, plus I dig the flickability of mod. Also, I like the way I won't have to pay half a grand for a new bike :( I'm gonna get the new forks. Might go for some Echo-cho-ho-o Teams, but we'll have to see how the money situation pans out... Cheers y'all. Mark.
  17. LOL Haha, forgot I'd left that in my sig. I'd already found it, but that's for looking Kyle :( I'm guessing you're well bored? :) It's a shit album, but I just didn't know where it'd gone. There was like one decent song on there though. 10 quid gone... Thanks for looking, kiiiiiiiiiiiids. Mark.
  18. Weirdest phrase ever? :) Does anyone know if Gilles is still under contract with Onza for riding mod? I'm guessing he's gonna ride Koxx XTP's or summat if he is, but thought I'd check... Speaking of - how come they're only doing stock signature frames? They've got Benito Ros and Rafal Kurmorowski (sp?) both on mod at least, so why not let them design something? Could even design one for Atsuya - a standard Levelboss with a big wheelie bar sitting out the back so the videos of constant wheelieing are even more boring :(\
  19. Yeah, I was thinking that. I was also thinking that another few mil's couldn't hurt :- Plus if it was lower, it might change the ride feel and so on. Plus I straight up need new forks anyway :)\
  20. Don't wanna embarrass you, but Sameer's a "he", not a "She"? :wub: Nah, I getcha... How's the Slim seat working out for those running it? I've heard of a few breaking, so are they worth the potential risk or not?
  21. There's a 0.25mm stacker in my headset, and that's it :wub: I might go back to running the "Am I cracked? No! HA HA HA! It's just a crack in the laquer to scare you!" stem and see how it feels...
  22. 'lo all, At the moment, I'm riding a T-Pro, with T-Pro forks and the T-Master stem with Pazzaz bars. I'm 6ft 2in too, so it's like a "10lbs of shit into a 5lb bag" situation. It feels a little cramped, so I'm looking at ways of rectifying it. Now before anyone shouts "Buy a Python" - I would, but I'm supposed to be starting to save for uni, so I don't wanna spend a squillion quid on a new frame. Was kinda tempted by a Python copy, but it's only gonna be 5mm~ longer than the T-Pro, so possibly not worth getting? If I was going to, I could sell my Pro frame and some other odds and ends, so I guess it might not be too expensive, but I'd rather explore other options first... I'm running a fairly 'tall' front end. The T-Master stem is about 10mm higher than the Pazzaz stem I used to run with my bars, and it feels easier to backwheel (pedalling up), but would I be better off going back to the Pazzaz stem? Does a lower front end make it feel longer, relative to a higher bar set-up? Furthermore, I need to replace my forks. The forks I'm using are from circa 2002/3, so they're pretty ancient by fork standards. Can any Pro users (or anyone?) tell me if I'll get much more wb by using the Echo Teams? Do they have a greater rake than the T-Pro forks? Thanks for any help, Mark.
  23. lol I love how the <? in the corner of the Code box actually sums up how I felt :wub: That's the thing - what's the point in having lyrics if they're not going to mean anything? Might as well just go "oooh oooh oooh", but choral shit like that went out in the baroque period...
  24. I partly assumed it would be like that sorta rap-verse = sing-chorus. Old habits die hard, I suppose.
  25. I wasn't talking about the collaboration in "point 1", I was saying that there's those two 'lyricists' in Linkin Park, and they always do the same shit in every song.
