That was properly good. Some of those 180 gaps were nutso!

Ad - Kudos to your 'web designer bloke' friend :D TRA, what does "K.U.L.T." mean? Is it just "cult" or does it have some kind of meaning?

Seems pretty slinky. You do realise that you have to now be known as "Doctor Brown Love"?

Wow, a rockin' 2.85kb/sec on 570kb/sec broadband. Ah, takes me back to my ol' 56K days...

Someone click the link? :D Nah, anyway, Jon's right. It's simply a defining feature. If you choose to stone someone 'cos of it, you're acting on the information you have to act in a certain way. Totally ignoring it could be seen by people to be rude to, because people do have a pride in their history, e.g. black people over-coming prejudice and opression.

Exactly right there (Mink, that is. Way to screw the order, Tom-ola...). The police use "IC1 male" or whatever because it's bloody obvious! D'you want them to go "The suspect is...well...he's male, and he's wearing clothes." Should we stop even seeing it as male and female seeing as that's another division? It just seems a bit shit saying "We should stop seeing it". Different cultural heritages have made the world a better place, so denying it just so you can make big happy clappy statements seems a bit shitty/not thought out? The only thing we need to change is how people act when they differentiate between people. Notice the colour of people's skin, but not want to set fire to them for it? Just seeing people's skin colour doesn't mean you're racist. It's an observation. Simply that. It's just information. How you act upon that information is the deciding point.

275 views on this thread, so that means a potential 275 hits to Koxx.fr. This increase in activity's probably gonna mean their web designer's all: [French stereotype]"Wahey, ze new site is working. Ze Englishers are flooding een. Ho he ho he ho."[/French stereotype]

So you want to revert back to straight seat and chain stays, and run straight blade forks? And proper flat bars? There's a lot of good to be said for curved tubing, it's just that there isn't for that particular frame :turned:\

Maybe in Koxx HQ it was like "Hmm, people keep doing bikes wiht the seat-tubes curving forwards and up like the Coust frames. What can we do to be different...hmm...I'm thinking - curved tubing... but where..."

Who the f**k thought it'd be a good idea to put everything at an angle? It's "quirky", but damn annoying... But yeah, new Koxx site. Cream cream cream. Mark. www.koxx.fr

That noise cracks me up every time. Was trying to find a vid on T-S to download, and saw that and downloaded it before it was on here, so was a bit strange seeing this thread. Anyhoo, yeah, way good hopping. I dig the sidehop to logs though; that's just so freakin' accurate.

Cheers for the pics! Some of the sections look pretty similar to last year. Next World Indoor in the U.K.'s gonna be in January '06, but there should be some WTC Outdoor rounds either in Ireland or in the U.K. at some stage this year? So is Lampkin so low in the ranking's 'cos he's riding a new bike then? Are the 4-strokes actually much better or not? I'm well out of the WTC loop!

Who won then?

I think you missed my point. There are people who dig short bikes, but there are also certain members who wank over shorter bikes purely because their 'favourite' riders do, and of course, becasue everyone loves to go against the seeming majority...

It does, when you're riding. Otherwise, why would they dick about with geometry so much? The change from '02 T-Pro to '04 T-Pro wasn't theoretically much, but it felt f**king massive. The change from a 20" TT BMX to a 20.5" TT BMX felt massive too and made a big difference. And wheelbase is bloody important when you're choosing a bike. I thought this shit was insanely obvious, but I'll explain it in simple terms for people who don't like to understand things: I am 6ft 2in. I ride mod. I used to ride a short mod. I felt cramped on it. I bought a longer mod. Ta da! I chose one with a longer wheelbase. f**kin' shocker, that. People who aren't ultra tall might go for a Levelboss 1040 or something, people who are taller and therefore can deal with the length can go for the 1065 or 1100, which is why Koxx made different lengths of their bikes. How very convenient! *sigh* :) Now before the "I like riding a short bike so I'm not classed as 'trendy'" come wading in with their twattish blanket comments that mean f**k all - just getting a longer wheelbase won't make you a better rider. It feels a bit easier to backwheel (in mine, and a lot of other people's experiences) and do "pure" sorta trials - including natural, where a more stable, longer wheelbase is a huge help - on a longer bike for me, but then again there was that guy on here who was shorter than some shits that I've done who bought a LB1065. As opposed to making him some trials demigod, it was shit 'cos it was too long. Just buying a 1200mm+ wheelbase bike won't make you great, but again, that's bloody obvious.

That's the whole point, chavs are just wannabes. Just talentless dickheads who can't actually do anything on their own, so have to go around in groups and try and emulate people 'cos they can't actually form their own opinions, etc. They want to be gangstaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas, but aren't. It's funny watching the slow process where they find that out.

Shit me! Are they bent? :D My Pro's 1025mm with some ancient Onza alu forks on it...

Can, and have (Y) Yeah, when you've got the media pumping the idea that it's cool to be a rudeboy gangsta from the "ghetto"*, then it's not going to be good. You could argue that the media is just colourful pictures, but notice how the fashion trends of chav scum tend to exactly mirror those of Eminem/50 Cent/Ali G (which is ironic, seeing as he's taking the piss out of chavs, but they reckon he's their God?). Meh, either way, it's still shit that people think they have the right to beat people up whenever and wherever they want. Random Stranger Assaults (where chavs just go up and beat shit into whoever they see) are still on the up, which is nice... Mark. *By which most "rap stars" seem to mean a well off, middle class background? They're full of contradictions, e.g. 50 Cent singing "E'rybody in the club gettin tipsy" - apart from you, you Tee-Totaller :S If someone's shot you 9 times, doesn't that suggest you're a wanker? Much like constantly changing your TF username *cough*

Does that mean I rock for nearly taking out Volvo S70's on the way home from work? My bad, Mr. Yuppie.

I don't usually like to be too blunt in posts, but this is getting silly. It's just 'kin trials, isn't it? In the same way diarrhoea is poo, so is a savagely dry crispy turd. It's a different style, and requires a different technique for delivery (and clean-up), but it's still poop, so why the differentiation? To all the people who are saying "Yay, let's all unite. It's such a pissant small sport anyway we should love each other", why not just stop pointing out the divide anyway? Why try and define what we all know? See where I'm getting at? McEDIT: "Its like a BMX rider in a skate park, just riding the vert ramp, and abusing all the park riders around him for not riding real bmx, as thats what he defines as real." I'm not poo-talking this post specifically, but it seems a hell of a lot of the time here, people are criticising rider's attitudes as opposed to the actual differentiation of the disciplines? People have been, can be, and will in the future be dicks, so...er...I've forgotten where I'm going. Wicciky wicciky, beat box yo'.
