  1. That's a cool little thing you've made there. I doubt it'll do much more than exercise your fingers though, but it's cool. For finger strength, climbing boards are where it's at. Metolius do a sweet fairly cheap one. They'll improve your finger strength no end, and your arm pump won't be as significant.
  2. The interent rules. Yeah, body builders who can pack a punch but nis fing huge are the most talked about ones aren't they? I love it how you put three dots after a sentence to make yourself sound clever but the word these dots follow is "experlation". Oh you are amusing. Involveness was too tempting.
  3. Yeah, you gotta love Five 10's: I have the Anasazis. Doubt they'd be super good for riding though :)
  4. Haha, awesome viddy. Quality riding from you and Chris. How the fook did you manage to hold that last sidehop though? (Y) Thought that you had some sweet angles in there too, and liked how it had stuff from day and night. Liked the editing too. What locations were in there? Anything other than Morcs and Preston? Anyway. Sweet vid. Keep them coming. How cool would it be to see a vid with all the Cultiv8ers in too. Seems to be more individual type vids at the mo, still though, really enjoying them, so don't mind :) Ta, Dave

    Car For

    Same boat as you Whiteboy. Really doesn't seem like I'll be able to afford the whole owning a car thing, but it'd make life so much easier, so it's worth looking into I guess. It seems like the main bank breaker'll be insurance. What's a realistic prediction on a 1litremajobby gonna be do you reckon? Or is it really individual? I've heard just small differences in post codes can make a big difference? Any 1l notsoboyracerish car drivers here? What insurance are you paying and what car you driving? Also, how much of a difference to the insurance price can taking your pass plus make? Any ingenious ways of making insurance cheaper? Oh yeah, whats the disadvantages of being put on your parents insurance? Obviously an advantage is that insurance is made cheaper? Sorry 'bout all the questions by the way. Tell me to fook off if you want. Ta.
  6. The new Onza 30" Carbon bars feel sweet. You'll need a bulge type stem also, which'll have to be fairly high in rise (or a mod stem) if you're still gonna be trying a high bb frame. The Echo Urban forks are pretty cool. Last along time for most people. They've had problems with the disk mount snapping but it's been sorted now by whacking a 9mm thick mount on them. They also flex a bit which really helps for some moves. The new BT forks are meant to be alright too. As are the Smart guys from Onza which are becoming quite popular recently. As it's a stock you're going for, I'd reccomend not using FFW and going for a hope Mono rear hub, or if you can afford it, a Chris King Classic. Seem to be more reliable than FFW systems. Maxxis 40a or 42a tyres are pretty good. Really good puncture protection but don't last a super long time. Minion and High Roller Dual Ply's are what you should be looking out for. Also, Kenda tyres are meant to be good, and some people find Michelin Comp 24's good aswell. Brake pads, well there's load to choose from. Maybe if you wait a while though Heatsink and Tartybikes might have come up with something cool as they're researching at the moment. But there's still a shit load of pads that aren't heatsink. If you're gonna be running a ground rim, go for pads like Koxx Bloxx or Plazmatic CRM's. If you're running smooth rims, maybe look into Zoo's or something in a softer compound. Ground rim's will let you get away with riding in the rain with a decent setup, smooth rims and rain don't mix too well. But I guess it all depends on what you're gonna be riding in mainly. Grinding can be a bit of a hassle and leaving your rim smooth is fine if you're gonna only be riding in the dry and have decent pads, but yeah, if you're even gonna go close to any water, I'd reccomend a grind. Erm, yeah. Dave
  7. Dunno if the black spokes are actually anodised, but they could well be. Reason for snappage Wayne, could be that anodising does make stuff slightly weaker by increasing the metal fatigue.
  8. Ooh, is that the thing that goes: Right left right righ left right left left? Or is it the one that goes Right left right left right right left right left right left left? My drum friend tried to teach me those but they're really hard (Y) Erm, Babyshambles for me.

    Keyboard

    Hi, I wanna start learning the keyboard. There's one at my house at the moment, so I don't need to know about getting one, or the best keyboards or any stuff like that. Does anyone know of any sites that have a few tunes I can learn with diagrams and stuff. Not interested in chords or anything like that yet, just wanna learn some choons. Tried looking for sites with no luck :P Ooh, also, I'm looking for more modern music, as I've tried learning The Runaway Train Went Down The Track - Woo Woo already, and don't wanna try again. So yeah, anyone know of anywhere? Ta.
  10. Edit: Ignore me, sounded gay, read this instead: CakeCakeCakeCakeCakeCakeCakeCakeCakeCakeCakeCake Basically it was about wannabe mods, hint hint.
  11. Doubt that'd be out of the question as the technology's already there. It's been done on some frames. Orange Zeros being one of 'em I think.
