    i would call that a bit 50/50 lewis should of left him a bit of space on the exit but yeah what a way to ruin both of their races
  2. they could make a pretty cool movie out of some of the warhammer stories it would just need a big budget for cgi etc. a decent final fantasy movie needs to be made. a new spawn movie but again would need to be done well. i have a bunch more but i think im going to have to end it on a film based around Hunter S Thompson's life.
  3. i miss the days of watching your phone explode into a million pieces accross the floor and not having your heart sink thinking f**k thats going to hurt my bank balance. then you put it back together something doesnt fit quite right so you wedge it in anyway turn it on and hey presto all you need to do is re set the time.
  4. bit of a long shot but try getting hold of paligap uk they were kona's importer for years but arent any more, may have some old stock or know whos the best place to go to.
  5. both the trials HD games are really good but you do need to get past the first very easy levels before they become challenging and worth coming back to. Geometry wars evolved is good simple fun easy and addictive. Super meat boy is by far one of my favourite games on the 360 2 buttons simple but gets very frustrating and difficult.
  6. nice man that looks lovely, ive been looking at dh bikes for ages and completely agree with you there are a lot of over priced ones on ebay or a lot of P.O.S. about.
  7. glad youve got it sorted i didnt think it would be anything major.
  8. checked to see if the pads are just stuck out a bit? get a small flat head screwdriver and see if you can lever them back at all might well be the levers been pressed in with the rotor/wheel out and they just need pushing back.
  9. this isnt the most helpful of answers i know but a lot of it comes with practice after a while it just becomes second nature ish.
  10. rear shock mount spacers you should be able to find complete kits on ebay with bearing and everything, if the spacers given up then pretty good chance you'll want to do the bearings aswell. Pads I believe some one please correct me if im wrong, but some corse sandpaper on the pads should clear anything up if its not to bad and the rotor get some brake cleaner on there and give it a good rub with a nice clean piece of cloth maybe do this more then once. also as has been said about the lever pulling to the bars it needs a bleed or you might be able to get away with just topping it up but I would go for the full re bleed option.
  11. nice man ive always wanted to be involved in trail building properly as most of the places near me are all run by the forrestry commision etc and i dont think they take to kindly to just showing up and bulding.
  12. my rear atomlab brake occasionally squeals at the start of a ride then stops when some heats in it. Does it feel like its working correctly? tried re centring it or cleaning the pads up could just be a slight contamination of hitting at a bit of angle.
  13. if your just begging it wont make a massive amount of difference learn with what you have got, they both have their ups and downs. as a beginner i wouldnt worry to much though. A lot of it comes down to how well they are set up and maintained.
  14. mine currently it changes every few weeks though
  15. this may be me with my ilogical head on but would they not be threaded in different directions for use on cranks or rear hub therefor a specifically designed front freewheel would in theory losen itself on the rear or just freewheel and not engage? Its been a long time since ive used a freewheel and a long day it work is making my brain struggle to engage properly at the moment.
  16. other then for cosmetic reasons why are you so adamant you want to run middleburns? providing you maintain your cranks they all do the same job. Im a big guy and rode a set of basic onza muscle man cranks on a mod for 2 years when i rode. just make sure you check cranks bolts etc when you ride. Also has been said most rear freewheels are shite you would need to get a freehub if you want something you can trust.
  17. mtb cranks. I have one there a lovely bike. Fork wise as has been said it all depends on budget you could run a set of 120mm travel forks on there but wouldnt really go much bigger. Look around for decent 100mm forks rockshock argyles or mazhocci 4x forks both run nice on these frames.
  18. completely agree with you on that simps. I do feel a similar approach should be taken to cars where you cant drive over a 1.1 for at least the first year unless its a company vehicle for eg. small work vans etc.
  19. agree with muel on this probably best to go for like a package with test at the end just get it over and done with. the sv 650 will be fine for a first big bike if you have experience on 2 wheels, plus with something a bit bigger you probably wont feel the need to go bigger again as soon. Ive ridden a 600 for 3 years now and im only just looking into getting something bigger as a 600 does everything you need will keep up with the bigger bikes in most conditions just not quite as much umph to it. ( correct technical wording there)
  20. been waiting for something like this. A song of ice and fire george rr martin probably one of my favourite series loving the show as well currently most of the way threw book 3 part 1. Night watch, Day watch, twilight watch and The last watch are a good series by a russian author. Agree with anything hunter S tompson.
  21. I would quite like to see flat land bmx represented one year.
  22. no experience just showed up looking really nervous and got stuck in, any decent mma gym will be more then happy to compensate for beginners my first 2 sessions i was put on a 1 to 1 basis with more experience members just running through the basics. All you need to start is a gum shield and groin guard you can get them for about £20 although i would recommend spending more on the groin guard as cheaper ones don't tend to fit to well. Im at a level where i can hold my own now and feel more then comfortable grappling with people far better then me. You learn so much from getting tapped out repeatedly. I used to get caught in triangles all the time but now have a very good awareness of these. I just do it for fun and fitness and it really helps with confidence in all aspects of life. Biggest bit of advice is check the gym before you commit to it as there are a lot of gyms on the mma band wagon and you wont feel your getting much from it. You'll notice in the better gyms that egos are not welcome and this really helps.
  23. been doing mma for just over a year now, really enjoying it. It scared the crap out of me walking into the gym for the first time though. I know i wouldn't be able to stick to one form of martial arts so mma works nice bit of everything, hoping to have my first fight by the end of the year.

    R/c Cars

    the little scoobys looking nice. Just found out how simple it is to adjust the suspension on my car and it now handles nice, its a buggy but it was bottoming out on a bit of a bump in the road and off kerbs it would hit really hard.
