Observedtrials.net Hacked!

Recommended Posts

Hey I've got a question for the OTN people. I had a post on OTN talking about traveling to London this semester for study abroad and I was talking about shipping my bike. I forget who it was, but someone had a great write up on how they ship their bike when they travel and I'm not exactly sure who it was....

Anyways.... as I can't access that write up now thanks to OTN being down, I was just wondering who it was that wrote it up and what size suitcase (or duffel bag) they said they used? I remember they wrote the dimensions, and I'm wondering what it was exactly? Thanks for the help!

Another lost thread from OTN...

anybody here from Fort Collins, CO?

I got the job, I'm moving there the last week in January. I could use some advice for picking a quiet neighborhood to find an apartment or house share.

I'm:

I've shipped bikes a couple times, and trials bikes are easy to ship - they're smaller, burlier, fewer parts, and probably already dented up anyways.

a basic rule is just to reinforce anything that can be bent easily. On roadbikes, I'd take the chainrings off and zip tie em to one of the wheels (like a disc rotor) so that it's a lot harder to take a hit. for any wheel that i take off, i put an axle in the dropouts with nuts on each side of the drop out and tighten it. otherwise it's just a big lever waiting to get bent.

put loose parts/bolts in a bag that can be closed and pack it separately or attach it to your bike securely. while you're at it, tie/ziptie/tape/attach everything on your bike together - your box can get pretty f**ked up, and holes will appear that bolts/pedals/headset spacers will fall through.

Rush,

I've never seen you on here, although you registered in 2004...so it's my guess that you're a frequent on OTN and have ventured onto here as that mess of a site has blown a gasket.

A couple of things, the majority age of posters on Chit Chat is about 20; throughout the forum Chit Chat is probably contains the most intelligent posts on the forum; we're a forum built of web developers, IT professionals, photographers, engineers, mechanics and most other trades - meaning that usually you'll get an answer to whatever question you wish to ask.

White trash eh? Again, we have, and tolerate members of all nationality on here - please do tell me what fantastic race you associate yourself with that seems to instantly excel yourself above us 'white trash'?

You'll be pleased to know that posts like this are rarely made on this forum - so congratulations on your 1999 originality, but you must realise, not many people on this forum are that retarded.

So the 20 year olds here have the intellect of 13 year olds, or am I reading this wrong?

I associate myself with people that arent imbeciles, yet I do love cock, and cock being inside an anus is one of my favorite things, hence my post.

My comment on white trash is nothing to do with race, it has to do with the majority of horrible, scummy, ridiculously undereducated people that seem to make up this forum. However, this could just be my experience with people that came across to OTN?

I'm happy to accept a correction tiger. ;)

Honestly, i dont exactly see why everybody is so in love with fascism, communism, socialism and all of that. It doesnt work, if you think it does, read any decent history book (non bias lol) and you will see that is DOESNT.

Sorry to intrude.

But under the right circumstances Communism would work, the only reason is that all the leaders so far have been Totalitarian (And mad), e.g Stalin, Hitler, they have all been mad on power as well and ran the country into the ground.

Look at Cuba, with 98% literacy rate I would say Communism does work.

Sure, some people do have the intellect of a 13 year old...probably because they are 13? I mean, you're 30...I honestly thought you were 18 or so.

Halarious. 30 years old, yeah?

So you're suggesting OTN members are all educated to the highest level, hold a valued career and compose themselves with the upmost etiquette?

I don't want to turn this into a OTN Vs. Trials Forum debate, but what gives you the right to come on here and pick on the members? Read the rules, we tolerate people of any gender, age, race or mental capacity.

I'm happy to accept a correction tiger. ;)

Corrected.

This thread makes me miss OTN even more, most of the retarded f**king posts and their authors wouldn't exist or would at least keep their useless ill informed opinions to themselves.

I'll just keep checking observedtrials.net until it works again.... or just never visit another trials bike forum again.

Peace

p.s. 2+2 = 37

f**k YOU IT DOES!

:lol: So that is what this American freedom of speech is all about!

Tom, you certainly wont be treading on any toes. I guess a us forum might be good until something is done about otn. Promote international trials relations? :)

Sounds like a Bush invasion policy to me...... :giggle:

it'd probly be better if otn and TF merged... the sport is so small, like whoever else before me said... its dumb to have separate forums when you could gear everyones input and info into one place

You make me laugh, did you suggest that before OTN got hacked?

Personally I liked OTN it was a good site.

On the point of Americans, every American I have ever met, worked with, lived with interacted with has been a really nice, polite, helpfull individual.

Yes this war may be a n oil war but what else could it really be about?

I hope OTN does come back.

Chit chat is amazing, no offence to the Americans (See above) but you may not quite get it.

I've always imagined OTN to be a place where many of the active members already have a house, a family, a big SUV and build crazy trials related machines/parts in their basement. If that's true then indeed this forum could seem like a mess created by a bunch of kids, which there is a lot of on here.

I'm confused by Rush's comments... is he calling us or the OTN refugees white trash? Is he calling us or the OTN lot ridiculously undereducated? If it's us I'd have to disagree... Considering it was the Yanks who were supporting Bush, Sarah Palin and telling us their government is trying to become a forced closed state who are deliberately dumbing down the population while telling us we're a bunch of Commies. Meh.

This guy clearly hasn't even been on OTN.

Trials Forum actually is legible unlike most of the mess I used to see on OTN. You also claim that we have an underdeveloped sense of humour, when it is quite clearly you making immature jokes.

Must be your education :giggle:
