  1. Y'know, that's funny, 'cause those two remind me of this: And this: And even this: COPYCAT. Edit: Editing to make out it was a joke only after being taken up on it is seriously lame.
  2. Read the thread It's the one Sam posted. Haha. Edit: "JUST over a bar"?! Sidehop over is at least three times harder than sidehopping onto something of the same height. Substitute "three" exponentially increasing values until reaching infinity as you approach your personal best height.
  3. I can't find the link, and can't remember the name. http://vimeo.com/43447091 The up to front at 1:40. It's him, and that spot. There's a clip floating around the internet somewhere of him sidehopping that wall from a smaller rock. It might not be the biggest, but it's certainly a contender. Posting in case someone knows the one I mean and where to find it. Edit: I was looking for the clip just by itself, but it turns out it's been incorporated in to this video. Last clip: http://vimeo.com/47655766
  4. My XC bike has 24s in it, and even they feel too big.

    I know this all too well from experience, but that doesn't mean it's not worth doggedly fighting, just for the sake of fighting Haha.

    The only way and "actual song" differs from any other soundscape of appropriate length is that hundreds of years of tradition have conditioned people's minds in to only appreciating western harmony as music. You listen to the "actual music" you like because you like the sound of it, right? What about the sound of opening a can of Coke. That's a brilliant sound, but because it's not been used in thousands of scenarios and you're not accustomed to it you're not allowed to enjoy listening to it? No. Music is defined as noises/sounds/frequencies put together aiming to produce something beautiful/emotionally expressive. For you that might genuinely be guitars drums and someone whinging about an ex-partner - but I'd wager it's that because it is for everyone else who doesn't spare a thought for what they can and cannot appreciate. I appreciate technical achievements and decontextualization, and not mindlessly reproducing what other people have a thousand times over with a minor twist. I'm sorry our opinions on what sounds good differs, but you can't write something off as not having artistic intent just because you don't like it. I don't like Picasso's work, but I wouldn't claim he wasn't an artist. Thanks for the comments about riding (to all, not just Williams)
  7. Calm down guys. Grammar Naziing is one thing (that I understand I'm especially guilty of), but BandWagonGrammarNaziing™ developing in to personal attacks is another entity entirely.
  8. If one was actually better than the other then no-one would use the other one, would they?
  9. Most of those accounts have 0 posts and were made pre-2006 I'd wager there's no more than a few hundred "regular posting" (once a month minimum) active members. I don't want to see another Barrow Barn video until you've set a stack of pallets up and sidehopped to the rafter. Sweet riding though. What happened to the Onza (and when )?
  10. I have a pair of Stiky Lites. They're real grippy, but otherwise I just can't get on with them. Too fond of my slicks. They're about 40% worn - PM me if you're interested in them.
  11. Came to TF specifically to find the cause of your FB status, and believe I have found where they once resided
  12. You also have an ellipsis in your "Weight Weenie..." above your avatar that leads me to think that untrue.

    Funny Crash

    So did I! It almost looks like it was intentional
  14. Looking forward to this Chai's rolling gap in Brum is off the ridiculousness chart.
  15. I'm suffer the exact same problem, and it's the main reason solo-rides are so hard for me. It's not so bad as it used to be, but it's still a major issue. If I'm riding with friends then low-to-average traffic is not a problem. If I'm with friends in a high traffic area I'm quite uncomfortable, but having other riders with me seems to make it Ok. If I know those people are watching me it's crippling. If I'm riding alone with zero people around, it's fine (though I lose motivation after a couple of hours), but as soon as there's any more than a handful of people in the area I just seize up. I just don't go to places where there might be people now. Some people get over it, others seemingly don't. Just keep pushing yourself in to it for a while and it might let up - if it doesn't and you want to ride the places where there's normally lots of people about, go at night Edit: So it's not exactly the same. I'm alright with cameras so long as it's being held by someone I know. Ridiculous, really.

    Certainly having moved to a hybrid type geo hasn't helped, but I think it's largely down to me being a dainty little princess.

    That big one in Bristol was 54, but at the minute I'm struggling with 48
  18. I'm not here to get involved in this thread - I'm purely here to give you a hard time. Please start typing more accurately. Be it grammar, sentence structure, spelling... whatever. Your posts are a f**king nightmare to read, and it gets even worse once the reader has decrypted/guessed what you've actually tried to communicate. For example, you seemingly can't even properly spell the name of the company you're so adamant to promote.
  19. Holy crap... When dressed as a Mexican, you look like Danny Kearns! Hahahahaha.
  20. I just had to pull the nail off my finger again, so this acted as very nice compensation indeed! Love the Kloud frames almost as much as I love Stan's riding

    But Vimeo < YouTube, since you can't upload files larger than 500MB unless you pay them. Sorry for the premature thread - I'll sort it in the morning.
