  1. A3 might be a better choice if you're after a strong frame, I'm not saying TP aren't strong though. I've seen the TP frames crack right in front of the bash plate screw hole on the down tube, but it was more like the downtube had snapped and only held together by the bracing between the top and down tube.
  2. Proper enjoyed that! And you're a beast! This vid is going in my favourite collection!
  3. I'll keep my eye out. You got any thing like frame numbers etc so people can check on the spot if its yours?
  4. Nathie Wafie looks like he's taking a dump

    Gilles Side Hop...

    I understood him Some weird sidehop though....skillz...
  7. I'm in, if my pads arrive tomorow or sat morning. If not, anyone got spare pads I could burrow for the day?
  8. Keeping?! Now you see it, now you don't! This weekend mowgli. Dunno sat or sunday though.
  9. Yaabaa 499's wheelbase is 990mm, that's on the short end of the wheelbase scale (someone correct me if I'm wrong). You may feel rather cramped, as in when you are on the bike, your arms might be closer to you body. How tall are you?
  10. Only difference I remember is you had red hose, black maggy clamps...not much difference really. But still it's a very nice mod mate. EDIT: plus a grind
  11. First tell us specifically which yaabaa you are talking about. Second, it's hard to to say if the geometry on your first bike is suitable for you. You really won't know unless you have had a few goes on several differnt geos. I started with a long mod, 1030mm wheelbase but found I'm much more comfortable on a short mod at 1005mm wheelbase.
  12. Finally!! It soooo fine....my next frame decided?
  13. Download worthy! I'll put it on everything I have that plays videos!
  14. Oh I love it! http://gtx275.mybrute.com/fight/55318644

    Yeah mine was through my local council as well. I didn't get an xbox though, but I did bring my dreamcast, PSP, DS with me a few times! On rainy days where NO ONE would come I actually lock the doors and go to sleep in the small room at the back!
  16. Me and Nath are heading out tomorow as well, come if you don't have work. Won't be out till 2/3pm ish though.

    Jobs.

    At the end of my 2nd year at college, my grades was rubbish, DE in computing and geography A2 and a B in AS chinese. Going to uni seemed unlikely when I finished 2 years of college. My plan was really to get a normal job and live at my parents till I could move out but I didn't like that thought in the end. So I went back to college for my 3rd year. Took up AS 3D Design in my 3rd year and got an A by the end of my 3rd year at college. Uni was now possible But I needed some money. Never managed to get a job in retail places and have been looking since summer 07 but never got one. So I gave up and lived off my EMA Wasn't unitl near the end of my 3rd year that I realised I needed some money for uni so I looked again. I was job hunting on a website (can't remember what is was) and found a job as a 'caretaker'. I phoned up and left my details. Got a call back for an interview 2 days later. It wasn't really a 'caretaker' job, all I had to do was sit in a little hut and wait for people to come and rent out the tennis court, putting green or bowling green. Wasn't even really a formal interview either, I turned up in in a normal t-shirt and jeans (I had to cycle there). I was just asked what I do, what I've done etc etc. Didn't even needed to see my qualifications or read my CV. So after the talk, hand shake, I got the job! Best part is I get paid £7ph for doing absolutely not a lot, in the little hut I sat in, there's a small tv, radio, small kitchen and toilets. So I guess I got lucky, no experience/training needed. It did get boring sometimes, sitting on my own for 10 hours on a weekend. Now I'm at uni and living off loans and grants. But I can start my job again soon, just waiting for them to call me back! Good luck searching for yours!
