It's a marketplace and distribution platform for videogames.

Friend of mine is having such a hard time with his brakes that he's turned to me for help. That says it all. He bought mineral oil to bleed them, did a bad bleed and then dropped the bottle all over the floor. Can you nowadays bleed them with water/antifreeze, or do they still have... whatever issue it was that meant they hated water bleeds? He's got the standard Echo brakes that come with the 2020 full build Mk6+ Cheers! @Cap - you'll surely know.

Relatively confident that's Anal's bike, but can't tell if it's him fettling or not Maybe he sold it on? I miss the west coast towns riding spots. Southport is fun!

I got married this year, and I've got to be honest - it f**king rocked. As a relatively hardcore introvert, bordering on recluse (with riding being the one exception, obviously), having a maximum permitted number of people as eleven (including the two of us) was an absolute dream. Five on my side, six on hers turned out to be ideal for our immediate family numbers anyway, so it gave us a really nice line. No hassle of who you "have to invite" because you invited someone else. Turned out to be an absolute best-case scenario. If any more people had been there, I would have started to not enjoy it. I just hope people who might be getting married next year aren't major socialites and the kind of people who need others to see them doing something to make it feel worthwhile. It would suck from their perspective

It's really interesting seeing people who aren't riders go through the fight we all know, but many of them might be undergoing for the first time:

Or Or Or (Or... Could probably do this all day. Impossible to choose really.) None of them are my favourite music, but in terms of working with the video... Yeah. They're the ones that first come to mind, anyway.

To a layman such as myself, that is pretty compelling. It's put together very well and it's great to see someone acknowledging potential weaknesses in their own hypothesis. Obviously I'm not going to read in to all the citations and stuff. I'm interested, but not that interested.

Exactly how many times have you done that to forks now? It seems like there's a new one in most videos! Haha. Also - what is the name of your town? It's so pretty. I want to go. Love your style

It might be worth noting that it's not just to bikers. Some drivers are dickheads - they do it to everyone, it's just that a bike is smaller so they have more space to try it on. I recently saw a (obviously...) white Range Rover smashing up the third lane of a motorway at a speed the limit wouldn't even recognise until reaching a point just ahead of me where all three were taken by almost-speed-matched vehicles. I'd had to slow down a bit quicker than usual because someone just pulled into the gap ahead in a space that wasn't really big enough, but this guy wove from the third lane, all the way down through the already too-small gap into the hard shoulder to undertake the lorry in the first lane, then all the way back out to the third. Like - not one lane at a time. He pretty much perfectly traced a single oscillation of a sine curve. (Edit: that's from 1 to 1, or -1 to -1, obviously. Not 0 to 0, or that WOULD have made a mess )

I don't know why it came up in my suggested videos as I'm not interested in the least, but I'm glad I watched it. This tickled me pink, for some reason

I just can't believe they went to all that effort and didn't get a decent shot out of it. Normally, drone footage seems completely useless, but this is one case where it would be legitimately useful. IF it was a follow-along shot. Screw the artsy stuff for now. That would have been so much better if there was just a simple follow-cam, either from the side, or above like they started to but seemingly the pilot couldn't steer it all that well Go do it again with a drone flying alongside at a matching speed, actually showing the line for how it is, then I'll love it.

I think we have a winner, in that case. But you don't get the ten points because there's no footage

Pictures and diagrams are great, but you just can't beat a visual demonstration of something working like that.

I tend to veer away from OT runners because of all the backwards movement. More impressive, sure, but much less watchable. That's a bonkers idea to do though.

People playing games, agreed. Speedrunners, however, I can quite happily watch for a long time. The ones that actually play the game though, rather than glitch-warps etc. The precision is nuts! Mario is probably the go-to example.

I felt myself roll my eyes when I thought I knew what it was about, but he got crazy good, and you know what? It legitimately made me laugh rather than cringe.

Garage got lonely out in the cold Some people have matching vans and trailers. I have a matching workshop and wood-store.

Unit! So glad you're back on a long bike. I liked the lines you were doing, but you just look so much more natural and comfy on the GU. So good

Holy crap! Fontenoy might take the win with that one. I'd forgotten how big he went. Bricks are usually a standard 65mm with a 10mm mortar gap. Counting up the rows and the soldier course on top, I got a super sketchy TF-tape result of about 1.46m. They just stop looking like they make sense, after a certain height.

Consider him a martyr, I guess?

That certainly is a big-boy. It might be close to the same (I think probably a shade smaller from my memory of being at those two spots, but that's not much to go on), but the issue is that that wall is sloped. Makes a huuuuuge difference.

It works because when the freewheel is on a hub, the active part that you control with your feet is the outside ring. The inside part attached to the hub is passive - pushed around by the outside part. When you flip is over, yes the engagement is facing the other way, but the part you control with your feet is the INSIDE part that is attached to the cranks. The outside part is passive - pushed around by the inside part.

No! It's grim!

So - I was endlessly clicking through videos trying to find the one I should post in the Favourite Videos thread and re-watched this. The tap at 1:48... I really don't know if I can think of a bigger tap. Porter had a couple, but I don't think they were quite as big. Ten points go to anyone who can post footage of a bigger one. Must be a regular, vertical tap. No kickers or sloping runups etc. Especially for f**king BUNNYtapping an old-school Pitbull. Just... f**k That. (Or for anyone who's not seen it, enjoy this video - it's an absolute slammer - then go watch all his others.)

No.
