Lucky is such an amazing rider, I love his style. Kumorowski is mental, such power makes me wanna ride. Great video, I'll make sure I download it when I have time. Also where can I find wawa vs. katawice #1?

I've got a King, I had the money and needed a new headset and went with it, of course I've only had it for 3 months (so far better than my el cheapo cane creek), so only time will tell if it is a good headset (or you can take everyone elses word and the warranty for this). In the bike shop I work at, most of the staff were old school trials bikers, and they rode with FSA pig headsets and then moved them into their XC bikes and are still going strong, they swear by them.

The finger tache lol Yea there is a stupid amount of girls my age (underage for a tattoo), having them done. They are prepared to pay extortionate amounts though, some girl paid £50 to have a black star no bigger than the size of my thumbnail done. And apparently the tattooist does it with a note from parents saying they are 18. Some dodgy dealings there.

How many bikes have you had now then? Looks all good, apart from the bars, they are bit forward aren't they? the Try-All logo must be looking at the floor?
-
That was mental, I had to pause and count the pallets in that sidehop. What pads you running on the rear?

This looks like what is made when a Boxx has sexual intercourse with a Kamel. Does look pretty sweet, be able to spot you a mile off with a paintjob like that.
-
Yea it works out as nearly the speed of light.

Nah man I only play in the evenings, I'm gonna ride my bicycle whilst I've got the chance. =D

Hah I'm mega noobish at skate as you all saw, only rounds I won was where I was doing small tricks whilst everyone bailed trying to go big. =D Did you land the Christ Air frontflip Dan? Steady aim perk is a start, all my mates say its easier with an ACOG (don't ask me why if your not using the scope but they are insane at it). The semi automatic rifle may be a better choice for close range stuff, whilst the bolt action obviously being distance. The secret to no-scoping is an ingenius method my friend introduced to me the other day, that is that where your gun aims is always the centre point of your screen. So when it comes to not using the scope, you don't know where the centre of the screen is, as you don't have a scope. Simple solution to that is to mark the centreof the screen with a piece of blu-tak, (you want it about the size of the red dot on the red dot scope) To find the centre of the screen just pick a sniper rifle with standard scope, or a gun with red dot sight that doesn't move, aim the gun and you've found the centre.

Add me =D

Its hardly mega bucks for an official headset (unless your looking for a wireless one which is pointless). Can get some unofficial ones which are pretty good, my mate has one with the kind of headphones that cover your ears, and the microphone itself is sturdier and more adjustable than the standard xbox mic. Headset is really needed on Call of Duty (if you get into it at least), main reason is because all speech from other players (if not muted) will come through your TV, it just crackles out and is hard to hear, whereas with a mic you can have it in to hear everyone, but off so you don't have to talk. Its also good when you've got a team and want to do tactics.
-
Can you not post anything different?, seems like you post pretty much the same comment on riding pictures and bike pictures. I still don't see how the first drop gap worked though, seems quite big. Best shot is to get a video out, would be a good idea to have a big group video.

Just do the training level on campaign mode, has the assault course on there which will get you used to the controls. Other option is to play with someone in a private match (really should get a headset for this mate), its a bit of free practice really so you can run about get used to controls, the map and techniques, I can teach you everything to know. Also on the subject of COD, anyone else heard of "no-scoping", its pretty much where the enemy can shoot you with a sniper rifle without looking down the scope, like a showoff move for when the othe player watches the killcam. I've been practicing it, and got a good technique down for it, if anyone is interested I can enlighten you.

Everytime I try invite you never join, and then you don't invite me in your lobby. =( Jon has probably seen that I am on skate, still stupidly noobish at it though.
-
I might try some of the higher quality ones again, on my old computer I had thousands of original game boy roms. I tried N64 ones but they were so slow back then. Would be nice to re-live old memories, and play games I always wanted back then. My favourite one was the Psx emulator, just pop a PS1 game in the drive and play it on PC. Can also emulate loads of consoles on PSP.

House of the rising sun - The Animals. I think a lot of people will recgonise it, and it just sounds good acoustic.
-
COD like men. =D A few of us have already formed a Koxx Boxx Xlan.
-
Have you not seen the price tag on this? Tesco will need to make some kind of a profit on this bike, and with a price tag of £130 what would you expect for a full bike?

Can I Have Some Tpa Care Please?.
Captain Scarlet replied to mista-neos's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
I've always found it to be a problem with the standard plastic ones (plastic threads which have to push against a threaded metal rod every time you pull the brake will inevitably lead to wear on the plastic TPA). A metal TPA adjuster will then prolong this kind of wear, obviously because of it being made of metal. Best bet to do in either case is you reguarly take your lever blade out and clean out around your TPA (unthread it from the TPA pin, give it a bit of a spray or a grease just so its not dry which could eventually cease it). -
Yea my dad suffered from it, not necessarily drinking though so it was a bit of a pain to him. Just had one of the guards like you described used it for a bit, took it out and its not so much of a pain to him anymore.

You would have thought one of the largest companies in the UK could have employed just one cycle consultant who could; build the bike properly, and give the correct details for it.

Just when Deng thought it would be safe to pack away the dremmel. -
Colchester/chelmsford/ipswich ?
Captain Scarlet replied to TrAsHeR's topic in Member Organised Rides
Ah shame I'm not about for this one, I'm on holiday in lovely Great Yarmouth for the weekend (around caister area). If anyone is up for riding, I'm taking my bike. =D Have fun. -
Should get around to buying skate something next month, THP8 is alright but I just want to try something a bit different.
-
I'll come back in a year or so then.
