Thats real sweet I reckon. Would be nice to see a bit of trials though. But over all, nice riding, good music (is it Holy Blood by any chance?) funny clothing. Top notch video. I do however reckomend you get a helmet.

But according to evolution, everything came from the same thing, so I struggle to see why a cat and dog cannot breed seeing as evolution says they are all from the same thing. As for mutation, that is when a certain thing is made different e.g. people that were in Chernoybl got radiation that mutated them and there kids, but the kids mutation is from affected sperm and seeing as the kids didnt have any at the time their kids wont be mutated. Another thing like that, people claim that Swine flu is a mutation of Bird flu, but when you look at them they are just Influenza A with tiny variations. Also to do with Swine and Bird flu, in the bible God tells that any animal that is a scavenger (birds and pigs) shouldnt be eaten because they are unclean and carry bugs and disease, and what did Swine/Bird flu come from? Yeah. And I wouldnt say that computers and other techologys are human evolution as much as I would say they are discoveries. Because back 1000s of years ago when people were first on earth, they were still discovering things, and through finding things they were able to build on it to get what we have. For example, fire was discovered and they found you can use it for light and cooking, this split into two different paths, cooking and lighting, people found that you can use fire to light up something and so they invented torches and candles and then it was discovered that electricity can be used as light also, so they got light bulbs. People found that fire can cook food so they used it to do so, then found that you could stick your food on a flat surface and it works better, and enclosing the fire will improve it and so on. So I think that it is not human evolution but discovery. Lastly, do you ever think... how is it that the earth is the perfect distance from the sun that it is in its gravitaional pull and not to close it will burn or to far away it will freeze, and that there are stars much more massive than our sun and that by a random fluke of rubbish hitting each other, the earth was formed and life was made? To me that is way to unlikely and the bible tells that it was done by Gods love and that he did it. But like I said before, believe what you want to believe, your choice is your choice.

So if animals can breed and evolve with each other according to Evolotion, why can you not breed a dog with a cat?

Thats me. Believe what you want to believe. When the time comes I know that I am on the winning side. Fact: Darwin said that he is not sure that his "facts" are true or not.

I quite like it, but the seat is too high.

In the top corner of the forum is a link to bmx forum. That may be more help. My mate has an intense clutch and thats a good bmx, I dont mind it.

Latvians are mad! That was insane! But I dont understand why there are kids dancing... I wanna see these guys running from the police or something, it would be mean.

Speaking of Gilles, Why didnt I see him at the finals? Did he not make the heats?

I was going to say that! I think that if the frame was the same look as the Adamant stock bikes it would look cool. Do they make 24's with a trials type frame? I think it would be pretty cool.

That is such a Japanesse thing to do!

My bad! I thought I put this in a different thread! How I move it?

As the title says, how many people went and watched the the world cup? I saw the finals in Rotorua NZ and was very impressed.

Haha, its even got rat trap pedals!

Thanks Yeah thats when I mainly use modulation. I think the only time I use modulation on the back wheel is doing wheelies. Or say if doing some natural trials (Im not sure in bike trials, but in motorbike trials) you would modulate your back brake if going down a wet slippery hill because locking the brakes would cause you to slide out of control and lose traction, but other than that Im not sure where you would use it. If, like you say, going along a narrow line dont just modulate the front but the back too. Practice, Practice, PRACTICE!

AGES ago, I had a dream that me and my family went to my old primary school and the fields wear beaches (Which is weird because we live aaages away from any beach) and my mum lost her favourite braclet in the water. So we went to the schools staff room (That was now a diving equipment store) and we set out to buy some diving gear to go find it, and my older brother got lost and we had to find him. We ended up finding him as a tiny baby sleeping in a fruit bowl. Anyway, we got the gear and went to find the braclet, while searching, some how I ended up going inside a 2.25mL Coke bottle (Goodness knowshow I got in there) and it was as though I had shrink because the bottle was huge and there were two guys living in there (One guy with dark grey hair called Sam, and I cant remember the other guys name but he had snow white hair). We chatted for a while and I left, I told my family and we all went back for a chatt with they guys in the coke bottle. In the end we went home and never actualy found the braclet again. To this day I still dont know what the hell that dream was about!

Not so much a funny story, but it has fire. I was putting some more wood in the fire and a flaming round log rolled out across my hand and onto my lap. Luckly I didnt burn my little downstairs man when it landed because I went from sitting down to standing up in about half a second! So now I have a massive burn mark across my hand (I reckon it looks cool! XD) and slightly burnt pants. Im sooo lucky that I didnt come out a whole lot worse or burn the house down.

Depends on what you are doing. For me, when I am (tring to) side hop or bouncing up stuff on the back wheel (I forget the name for it) I use on and off braking. But when you are, say, doing gaps to front then you will have to slip your front brake so that you will roll on the front wheel untill the back wheel will land on the target. Just look at trials videos, a lot of it is on and off, but you can see where they slip their brakes to accomplish somethings.

What is the overall point in doing this? Even if you dont ride on anything other than dry concrete, Having tread on your tire is going to benifit you way more than slick. If you want to do drifting on your bike then a slik would be good, but Im failing to find the practicality of doing such a thing. WHY? P.S If its for "Saving weight", then I dont think that the few grams you lose is going to do anything spectacular.

I use chuck taylor type shoes when riding, but they tend to slip even with Crank Brothers 5050 pedals, and they are realy flexable. Ive been meaning to get some skate shoes though, I hear they are pretty good. I also have some Trident Trials shoes that are real good and dont slip and are really tight. P.S. Why did you call it "Trialsing?", Im sure its called Trials riding?

I dont see what is so hard about using correct gramma, punctuation and spelling. If you are from another country that doesnt speak English then its understandable, but there are some people that do speak English and I cant even understand a word! For example, there was a guy on here that didnt use full stops, capitals or ant punctuation at all, I gave up on guessing what he was saying in the end. So I say, seeing that you dont speak English as a first language you should get some slack, but it would help to use capitals. Many people have made topics about Validation and it doesnt help their cause, in the end you will get Validated (unless you pack hissy fits and such). P.s. The Validation system is more for the content of the posts and getting rid of Douche bags and such. I personaly think that it is a very good and effective system.

White frame and black parts.

Hey. A mod sounds more like your cup of spit. I rode a stock once and didnt like it because it felt to big and heavy like my street/DJ bike. Practice balancing and then pulling up onto your back wheel, not intending to go up anything untill you have that in the bag. Then practice just bouncing on the flat, practice height and distance and make sure you have great brakes (I discourage Juicy 3's or Strocker Hayes Ryde's) so that you dont slip and fall on your butt (Man that hurts!) and you should get it over time with practice, And yeah I know its gay not being as pro as some of the guys on here, Ive had my bike since the wnd of November 2008 and I can only bounce up 3 pallets to back wheel, and side hop 4 on the odd occasion, I try to gap to front but always end up body slaming some thing haha. But through practice I can just about bounce the width of a car park space on the flat. So practice like a maniac and you should get it one day!

Na, its not there mate, Ive checked EVERYWHERE! even under the sofa coushions. Yeah, but I want to put a bit of foam over it to act like a muffler.

Has anyone had any experience with them. I have one and I reckon that it is fantastic, except for the sound quality. By the way, does anyone know where the microphone is? I want to put some foam over it to make it clearer.

There is a chick that is younger than me and rides in a class higher than I did. I think that women dont do it as much because they arnt attracted to adreniline as much? Personaly, if some of the chicks that I know did Trials or DJ's it would be HOT.
