  1. As far as I understand it - everone's different. Most people have a usual threshold of: Hit your wrist on a door-knob whilst passing through: "Ouch" Hitting a knee on a stem: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" And sit out for 5/10 minutes. A hefty bail involving you landing a fair way away from where your bike ends up: Not riding for quite a while... sometimes get a little dizzy/dodgey vision etc. Being in a head on car crash: Pass out/mild shock/serious pain. Personally - I've brutalised myself into accepting normal levels of pain, and think nothing of what most people would be really hurt by... but as SOON as the pain exceeds that threshold, I go into a mild form of shock* really easy - yet I come out of it dead quick. (This is where the boundary lies... I didn't get any shock, but it BLOODY hurt.) *By "mild shock", I mean mild nausea, slight tunnel vision, and feeling generally unwell - not blacking out, or anything so much as you described. I know some people who struggle to withhold the pain of tipping over the bars, but Krisboats - on the other hand - just completely ignores the fact that he should be experiancing some sort of pain I guess each person's pain tolerance is down to them - but even then, there'll always be anomalies to the rule.
  2. I thought the same thing as him, and then thought the same as you. Tried it, and it is

    I'm not - either... I tried to think of a way of explaining so he would - but know I'm not so sure I do, anymore I guess it's just so very simple, it's impossible to explain

    My Bike!

    Yeah - but my point is... If it's bent - and ESPECIALLY if it's not even being used... why not take it off? Save further damaging it, 'cause you CAN flatten them - and some weight
  5. Hahahhahahahaha If we could give reputation points on this forum - I'd give you a hundred, for that. I had this when I was first taking forks out... I thought they'd just slide out after you took the stem off... but yeah. Past experiance says some are stiffer than others, but seriously - just f**king whollop it.

    My Bike!

    Why's the rotor still attatched? Edit: More to the point, why are you running a maggie on a drilled sidewall?! Hahha
  7. Riding was a bit special.... Though as a video - I enjoyed #5 more. It's nice to see a video not made with a fisheye lense, for once... Very refreshing
  8. My dad's a driving instructor - he's got about an 85% first time pass rate. He said that about 80% of people that fail, fail due to nerves... Basically - don't get nervous, and drive exactly as you normaly would - and you'll be fine .
  9. Oh my GOD. If one more person mentions the LHC within the next year - I'm gonna go over to the French/Swiss border and arrange it so they DO blow the f**king planet up. Also - Callum - you already look like a twat. You say "Edit:...", but you didn't actually edit the post - so just go and shut the f**king HELL up. Wanker.
  10. 'Cause it's generic shit that people with no minds - due to being inbred, or stupious ammounts of weed - find highly amusing. One of them'll like it, so they'll send the link to absolutely everyone they know. It's pyramid marketing from there on in, really.
  11. Ish... Odd Nosdam, Why?, and someone else I forget did a collaborative project, and released it as a conept band. Don't think they released it on Anticon though, for some reason
  12. 'Fraid it has to be asked... What are the songs? I f**king love them. All of them. Just watched it 4 times.... Some of the taps in West Bay are SILLY high
  13. I was watching the Porter video whislt waiting.... Did I spy some cLOUDDEAD for the intro? I thought I was the only one who'd heard of them EDIT: THAT was absolutely f**king brilliant. Absolutely lovely. The intro was classic - I loved it... Riding was intense, and editting was great. Favourite video of the year - if not all time So much so, that I've signed up to Vimeo, purely to download it.
  14. Why do people post pictures of bikes that aren't done? If it was changes to be made like the chain... fine - but it's not finished... Get your brakes and grips - THEN post pictures... I don't understand, otherwise But bloody hell - I knew they WERE shorter, but I didn't realise how much shorter modern chainstays were

    Speakers

    I'm gonna get e-sand-blasted for this - but I've jsut got the £50 logitech 5.1 for my PC. I really like them. They're not hugely accurate - and are no good for monitoring etc - but if you just want them for movies - they're more than good enough for me. I should point out that I don't watch many movies - but I do have high expectations of sound-quality The sub's actually amazing, for the size. Doesn't really go below 35hz - but then... it depends what you want them for The other five aren't too bad. Bit lacking in the high end - but in a small-ish room - they do me just fine. I guess it depends if you want reputable brands/super quality/aesthetics.
  16. Well THAT was somewhat aggressive...
  17. Corr..... Just wait 'till the TGS bums read this.... It'll be 8 pages long by the end of the day

    Bionic!

    If your magura lever was dirtier - I'd REALLY like the look of that Black and dirty white Just that one bit of pure white makes it look odd
  19. Ehhh.... Can't be arsed to do it all again. There's a clip of it at the end of FAB1 if you care enough to bother. Ell - f**king - mayo. I worked it out just now - and as a rough guide - it took over 600 incisions
  20. Saw this earlier - but forgot to comment on it. First off - I have to say that was quite simply the WORST music I've ever heard used in a trials video. Just did NOT fit with the riding. The riding itself, was quite spectacular - though I prefered the stuff you did on the Echo. The editting was better. ST1+2 had nice stuff, but then you sort of phased out of it. Intro and outro were throughly good Sorry I sound so negative
  21. Man... I wish I was old-skool Some of you were on TF when I'd just turned 8... hahaha. Or - I'm told it was up that long before the crash.
