  1. I would be too if I had to look at that chain all the time.
  2. Solid riding from a youngster How old are you?
  3. As soon as I heard system of a down I started laughing 'cos I knew it'd be perfect for the vid! Loved it, good moves, good crashes and great style.
  4. Fair enough. Not tried one but the downsides such as all the weight out the back (24" needing a larger rotor than 20") and my main gripe with disks for TGS is the lack of hold on sharp corners. But as the saying goes, one mans pie is another mans chips; each to their own.
  5. So to summarise: Stocks: Not for comp or TGS, personal preference for street. 24": Can work, good for street not for TGS / comp. 20": The best application, can work for comp, TGS and street.
  6. I'm not really a fan of wine to be fair. What's your favorite wine, JD?
  7. From experience, I can say the inside of a female cat is not hairy, Luke you are correct.
  8. Ride almost exclusively natural these days, last comp I entered was a British round in... 2009 or so I believe. Everything I ride is lines, as its natural.
  9. Eggshell looks so much better than gloss imo. With spraypaint, I guess theres all the overspray / fumes / lack of thickness to the paint so would need 43957 coats / more expensive etc.
  10. Looks good Tom - Does that lemon grass smell? Or do you have to break it to release the oils to get it to scent anything.
  11. Would be sick for going down Tesco to get Jordan his chicken nuggets.
  12. Are they subsidised? Like if you pay for a prescription is it cheaper than going to, say, Boots to get it? Or can you only get the certain drugs through prescription?
  13. Lived without a TV for a year, then re-did my living room and bought one so my sofa had something to look towards. Last time I watched it was the 100m Olympic final
  14. I can sidehop higher than I can static jump, but then I guess that sorta makes sense as although I hate sidehops with a passion, I practise them a hell of a lot more than I do jumping up a wall sans bike.
  15. It depends on the object height. The problem the original poster is having is he's just learning them, so the object is small. If he used your technique, he'd be coming at the wall almost horizontal, which is why he asked the question about his front brake. Because he's hitting it horizontally, his brake just rolls forward because of his body position. The rainbow thing Dan is talking about means your weight is automatically more over the front, the force is downward into the object not horizontally across it, and your brake has a much better chance. Now on larger stuff, over say 40" you're right, it'd be harder to do that rainbow technique, and your technique works because of where your weight is. I generally either tap to front or use the rainbow thing depending on how high / what the object is.
  16. Monster tat with tribal.
