Ehm, I'm using a stock Compaq Presario SR1519X if you want to look up the full specs but briefly 2.93 Ghz Pentium 4 processor (though os X sees it as a 3.8), 512 mb ram, intel integrated graphic, network and surround sound card. I think the integrated cards helped my cause as the Mac Mini uses some similar stuff. As for the applications, I didn't get any major problem, I get some temporary freezes when I have lots running, but that doesn't really have to do with the OS. Safari freezes on occasion especially on flash heavy stuff, but I downloaded Firefox and it works mint. iTunes works like a charm, quicktime too, Microsoft Messenger's a bitch compared to other IM clients but it works. Might be worth mentioning that I'm using the unupdated OS X 10.4.6. But the real test will come when recording stuff with garage band/logic but I can't do that right now as I tested the installation on a 4gig ATA HDD and that might be part of the reasons for my small bugs as it's too slow and probably more than 10 years old...

Ehm, I guess I also have OS X on my PC, now And contrarily to popular belief it runs with only a very few glitches (the dock takes a moment to pop up when in hiding mode and the HDD doesn't always come back from "idle-sleep") and the installation was super easy .

Ehm, I was thinking about this one. Could drinking a smaller amount of alcohol in a very small amount of time give you the same drunkness but for a smaller time lapse. By having less alcohol in your body, that would mean less dehydration so... less hangover ? EDIT :

What format is it ?

I'd go with learning rolling 180s and manuals. Once you get the 180, a you'll be able to try a milion new lines: half-cab stuff, getting up small obstacles in a 180 so landing on top backwards...

Here's my new one, made the little vector back ground...

Am I the only one constantly getting a message saying that the server is overloaded ?

Actually, there are three desktops in total hahaha funny shit

I've never ridden a front freewheeled bike but I always have the impression that roll backs and riding backwards are probably more prone to jams and slack...

Just an axle like on here and maybe chain tugs, though they are quite optional. Though you just might be a tension freak.

I'm from Canada...

Well, my confidence booster isn't really for confidence, it just makes me try stuff I'm too lazy I'm pretty sure I won't land it. I try something really sketchy with minimal risk for injuries but that I'm pretty sure that I'll bail. Then I'll just bail, get up and say f**k, it can't be that bad and then I start riding for real and give a try to anything I can think of. But that only happens when I don't ride for a couple of days, normally, I don't really have a problem with confidence, I actually feel reassured that I'm not confident on certain stuff.

Apart from the thread pattern witch has a certain roll to play in the grip of a tire, the durometer number is what determines how soft or sticky a tire is. So higher the durometer number, the stickier the tire .

What about tires

Anyone know what part of the bay has the lower gravity, because the northern part is frozen year long and would require mineral oil in magura brakes and probably studs on tires not to mention the clothing needed to keep you warm.

What distros did you try, and what versions ? I personally had only one problem installing Ubuntu on my computer, I didn't have the right screen resolution but it was an easy fix... and I think the newer versions of the installer rectified that problem and a lot of other compatibility problems... Then installing stuff is the other problem, well Ubuntu solves it with an application that lists some 22 000 free applications and it's as easy as clicking it and the program downloads it and installs it on it's own... Well the fact the OS X works straight out of the box is a bit of an understatement, it only has to work with a handful of computers... And apparently certain PCs can run OS X, but they are quite few.

Nah man, you don't quite get it... Mac OS X and most Linux distributions are pretty much uninfectable because you need give executables the permission to run then run it since things can't start on their own in Linux. Also, the virus shouldn't do a lot of damage since every part of the hard drive is protected except for you "home" folder and there's no way to change stuff in the stuff that runs the compy except if you open a terminal you need to type like sudo, gksu or su before a command to give you access to that protected part of the hard drive... I'm talking for Linux because that's what I know, but I'm pretty sure it's the same for OS X.

:$ ,pardon me.

Oupsy, cracked my truetemper steel Endless Lifetime ^^ nice shorts bud

That's just stupid compared to this: White Industries eccentric hub

Ehm yeah, from what I understand it's the teaser for Manifesto Part Deux... http://www.biketrials.ca/content/view/244/2/

Yeah, coke cans are made out of 1000 series alloys, bikes are 6000-7000 series...

Just might be a slight coincidence insert mouse here

Well first of, what kind of riding do you want to do? Riders who you like their riding and would inspire yours ?

But that's a cruiser bmx (24" bmx) and not a 24" mountain bike, so everything is bmx on it, 48 spoke wheels, the gear ratio is totaly bmx, 14mm axles... Not that it's bad in itself, considering you're on a trials forum, if you want to slowly modify it to be a bit more trialsy. It will be very hard to upgrade stuff with mtb/trials parts as they won't fit with the bmx parts. But if you want to put HS 33s and a smaller gear ratio, that shouldn't be much of a problem, but if you want to make it lighter and run disk brakes, you're going to have some problems...
