  1. Great video. I liked seeing the struggle, so to speak. Massive amounts of dedication.
  2. As above, study music theory to gain an understanding about how music as a whole is put together. Try to meet musicians who play other instruments, and pick up one yourself. I highly recommend piano, as learning it has served me well as a basis for all other music, but it could be guitar or anything really. Most importantly, please don't give up. It's obviously something you love, don't let disappointment get to you for long. Best of luck to you! P.S. Here's a really quick track I put together messing about one day in Rebirth. As I mentioned learning the piano, I wrote this on the piano and then just moved into the digital instruments. It is really simple, but it shows what you can do with a rudimentary knowledge of theory and a little time spent messing around. My Little Track P.P.S Just seen you've already replied, spent 6 years in band. Sorry! I must learn to read topics before posting. I guess perhaps you could try looking up some tutorials, tips, and howtos on the web and youtube? Sorry I'm not much help. Best of luck!
  3. Great show, I absolutely love Heroes. Here's a blog written by one of the Director/Producers of the show. http://gregbeeman.blogspot.com/ He writes about the process of creating the show, and I really gained a respect and appreciation for all the hard work they put into this show. It's my favorite show on TV! )
  4. Loved this video. Great editing, filming, riding, good music. I loved hearing the sound from the camera as well as the music (really added a lot to it.) I loved the color of this video too, and the shots you got (ones of just the back tire, little shots like that, just great.) Just awesome all around.
  5. Thanks for posting that! I remember watching Mike Bentham videos when I was just starting trials. I love how relaxed the whole video was, and his trials was just effortless. Especially hopping across all those pipes; it was so smooth and fast, too.
  6. Good video, I accidentally watched it with my sound turned off and missed the music haha. Great riding though, your style is very light and simple, I like it.
  7. Blender3D is a full featured free 3D modeling software. Check it out!
  8. Have you thought of earbuds? They might be less of a hassle to use while riding. I have heard really good things about Shure brand earbuds, even though they are out of my budget. Depending on how much you can spend, they might be worth looking into. I've heard the sound reproduction is amazing with them. Since I was on a tight budget, I took a chance on some cheap Koss earbuds, and have been very impressed. They come with three different sizes of earpiece covers, so you can use the one that fits best, and they isolate well. I was impressed by the bass in them. They are by no means bass heavy, but you can actually hear the bass in the music, which surprised me for something so little. (Not that bass is the measure of an earbud, as the mids and highs sound good to me as well with these.) If Koss' higher end earbuds are any improvement over the model I got, then they're pretty awesome . Anyway, tell us what you find and if you end up happy with it .
  9. I remember downloading this way back when, and it has remained one of my favorite trials videos. Good music, great riding, super style
  10. Wondering why you didn't read any of the links provided in my earlier post?
  11. Spode: I notice you have steam installed on XP in VMWare. Are any games playable? Here's a semi-current pic of my setup (not actually running dual monitors at the moment as I completely ran out of desk space on my physical desk.) Slackware 12 with me in the midst of examining and learning about differences in font rendering!
  12. I saw a 9/11 conspiracy video which caused me to wonder for a while whether there was more to the attacks then publicly known, but after some searching, all my doubts and curiosities were laid to rest by reading the following: http://wtc.nist.gov/pubs/factsheets/faqs_8_2006.htm http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology...aw/1227842.html http://www.loosechangeguide.com/LooseChangeGuide.html Incidentally, I stumbled across these links while reading The Best Page In The Universe (Warning: Offensive material in most of Maddox's articles. Please read with care!)

    Did anyone notice any weird behavior out of your computer after playing this game? I accidentally clicked on the gray area on top of the game, and then Windows wouldn't shut down properly later that night (that was the only unusual thing about that session I did). Also, after the restart, firefox has lost over half my bookmarks and my home page. How odd.
  14. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ <---Very nice free audio software
  15. Finally got dual monitor sorted with Ubuntu Linux [attachmentid=8219] Edit: Pinky, what's the name of the dock in your screenshot? It looks very nice !
