  1. Danny Mac seems to be doing a pretty good job of it so far, but it does look unlikely. Maybe if someone's good/enthusiastic enough they could
  2. T'was pretty good, bit repetitive but the filming was pretty good, liked the transitions. Also, good song choice, I prefer the Tears for Fears version, but loved it in good ol' Donnie Darko.
  3. Don't compare how long you've been riding for with skill, I tend to think people that post videos saying 'I've only been riding for a month!' are lying. Anyways, I think falling off is god to an extent because you're putting yourself out of your comfort zone which overall is god for progression, however, you don't want to take that to far, because it may result in your death. Good luck.
  4. 3rd year the same as GCSE? I'm doing it as A-Level, and Economics is very different from Business Studies (which I did at GCSE). It's much more about the economy as a whole rather than focusing on one business, I thought they would be pretty similar but I was wrong. If you're genuinely interested in what's happening in the economy at the moment, like unemployment, social welfare and inflation, then Economics would be a good choice. If you're more interested in advertising, types of businesses (franchises, sole traders etc.) and how they are ran by management, go for business studies. Although, there is the stigma that's apparently associated with subjects ending with 'studies', although obviously do the one your more interested in and think you would do better in then what would look good on a university application.
  5. Pretty good and the skatepark looks awesome
  6. I don't think you're treating this with the level of seriousness it deserves.
  7. Wondered if this could work on here. I've thought of something, and 20 questions are allowed to be posted and I'll answer them (probably best to wait for answer before the next question) I'm only going to answer proper questions, not 'This is a stupid idea?. Then presumably the winner can think of something and win some dignity. My thing has been thought of and it will not change (pinkie promise). Ask away.

    Films!?

    Agreed, bit putting the guys mouth on the curb at the beginning makes me cringe thinking about it. Also agreed, but make it better then the true story, missed the bit where his wife divorces him. But what I loved most was how I knew the film was about him being schizophrenic, yet I was still shocked when you find out properly.
  9. I loved my Levelboss, and yours looks awesome in black. Nice and stealthy

    Clocks

    Been waiting for this for months, more riding/general be outside in light time
  11. Is it a good thing to show a professional rider breaking a bench? Beasty riding though and liked the relaxed music for a change.
  12. I don't feel this is the place to discuss that, please add him on Facebook.
  13. I'm pretty sure he meant it was the first time doing it off a real jump rather then the first time he's done a front flip.
  14. How long have you been using it for? Have you given it time to bed in? Might be contaminated, in which case get some brake cleaner or bake it in an oven
  15. If you haven't watched it, I'd recommend this http://www.vimeo.com/10772712
  16. The grammar argument seems pretty stupid to me, it's not like we're going into really specific English rules, more the capital letter rules that are taught to students around the age of 5. Although it doesn't actually make a difference for my reading, I just do it out of instinct.
  17. Oh actually, I looked again and it does look like you're using your cranks, my mistake To improve it though I'd suggest not doing an endo, starting from a trackstand and kicking on the pedals to make an effort at going forward, rather then going up. Also it looks like you're having to put a lot of effort into the lift, give the cranks more of a kick and use your body to allow yourself to go up instead of you doing the majority of the lifting. And for the sidehops, again, try just hopping a bit to the side from a trackstand, I wouldn't focus on the pedal stroke at first, just get a feel for moving it sideways then add the pedal kick when you've gotten pretty good at both of them. Sorry if that doesn't make sense, hard to describe...
  18. Personally I don't like shots that don't show the full clip, but apart from that was pretty good Also, just out of curiosity, how tall are you?
  19. An endo followed by a stationary bunnyhop is what I'd describe it as. You don't seem to use the cranks, or hope sideways but bunnyhops normally go forward, while you're just going up.
  20. Look at these - http://www.observedtrials.net/vb/showthread.php?t=18382 http://trashzen.com/climbing-to-front-wheel.php
  21. Awesome, ridiculously controlled on the rear wheel
