    About 18 months ago, I started to move away from metal, and more into the realms of electronic music. The music in this video left me wondering why... ...I was ever in to metal That was f**king terrible. Huge riding though.
  2. Fun to test, maybe... But it all depends on results. How is it?
  3. But you must admit... It makes a f**king hilarious read
  4. 'Cause if he's anywhere and everywhere, he's gonna need a f**king big bike to be comfortable.
  5. I haven't seen ANY threads on this before. I searched, and nothing came up on the first 3-5 pages, so assumed it wasn't there.
  6. Was this organised? If not - I spy a new team of should-be-mods
  7. I didn't consciously click on anything, but I'm getting it showing up like this. I've trawled through the options and can't find anything that mentions the way the forum is viewed. Did I miss it, or... I dunno. Just - any ideas? It's bloody horrible.
  8. You want a King because of the NOISE?
  9. My friend's got a park-tool one, and that's never not fit
  10. You guys sure must enjoy this arguement
  11. Another for WMM. Can get some good results if you give it some patience and thought (Might need to make some workarounds, as WMM's features aren't upto scratch of others ) It's possible if you think on it though.
  12. That's the thing. It's INCREDIBLY simple. That's why I'm on the verge of giving up. It's SO simple it gets boring. 5 years is about enough, I'm thinking. I don't WANT to quit - but I guess it's the same as when people get made a Senior Member on here Once you've done cats, you've done cats. The only variations is to go bigger, level, running or even dropping. Even then, they get boring. It's the same thing over and over, and 'cause the movements in themselves are so easy by this time, it's just not rewarding. I could rant for a lot of pages about this, 'cause it's kinda hitting home at the minute. Really saddens me to give it up, but it's just boring the hell out of me now. As an act of desperation, I tried getting back into a bit of tricking, and combining the two - but again... Once you've done a gainer, you've done a gainer. That's it. @ Conditioning - As far as I'm concerned, that's the biggest load of shit I've ever heard. Train properly, and your conditioning is already done. As far as I know, Belle (the don as far as "defining" parkour, being that he's the son of the guy who "created" it) has never said it's a good idea to go out and do lots of pushups. The closest he's gotten is saying that you should prepare your body for such impacts by building up to it - hence him being at the level he's at after 20 years, and other people are getting close after 5 or 10. Ever read Blane's article on dilution?
  13. YES! I knew I'd heard it before!
  14. I actually found that f**king hillarious. Leave off
  15. Oh shit. I can't even begin to explain how wrong you are - however much I want to. You ONLY got that 'cause you have an extra 2' on me when you put your arm up Don't go making out you're some sort of... I dunno - just don't be so cocky Also - "a few weeks" won't get the basics sorted. There's more to it, in a hard-to-explain-why way - though yeah - it IS much simpler than trials (which is why it gets boring much quicker ).
  16. Well! Some of those things were larger than certain parts of my anatomy would allow for. Congratulations.
  17. To my knowledge (which is likely somewhat shakey) it's when someone uses vibrating equipment a LOT, (ie, pneumatic drills on the roadside etc...). The excessive vibrations can damage the circulation to that part of the body, meaning less blood gets to it. Less blood means less colour - and fingers tend to start turning white.
  18. f**king cool video. REALLY liked that. Gaps like a MONSTER! (edit:) for a machine set up for street.
  19. 10mm of stackers, a Pazzaz 120mmx20* stem and Pazzaz Carbon Risers (not sure on rise... between 1.5" and 2" though). This is with Echo HiFi forks. You'll want to replace the pedals pretty quick. Before the stem and bars - I reckon. The front end isn't TOO bad - I quite liked it, and I'm 5'8". The pedals - however - are quite slippy, and absolutely destroy your shins. Tyres are a bit heavy, too. Very good, though. Good choice in bike - I bloody love mine. EDIT: This is for a fairly TGS oriented setup. If you want to ride streety trials like Danny Mac, you'll want a higher stem, and even more rise. For this - I'd advise NOT going for an oversized stem clamp. High rise bars in OS 31.8 clamps are uncommon, and never have enough rise.
