[Dreams...]

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!

[Funniest Fire Stories!]

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.

[Any Methods For Quiet Braking?]

may i ask here that do trails biking need brake modulation? or its mostly/always a on/off braking..

thanks and appreciated as always! =)

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.

[How To Make A Tyre To A Slick]

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.

[What Shoes To Wear Whilest Trialsing...]

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?

[Validation]

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.

[Which Are The Best Colour Schemes For A Bike?]

White frame and black parts.

[Finding It Really Hard To Get Better]

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!

[Oregon Scientific Atc3k]

Have you checked behind the fridge?

Na, its not there mate, Ive checked EVERYWHERE! even under the sofa coushions.

Sounds like the microphone won't have a normal slotted aperture to let the sound in due to the waterproofing so it's never going to be great.

Yeah, but I want to put a bit of foam over it to act like a muffler.

[Oregon Scientific Atc3k]

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.

[Why Is There Such A Huge Gender Gap In Trials?]

i rode with quite a few ladys in moto trials then they all kicked my butt too.

i dunno why there is so much of a gap, women seem to like trials when they try it. or at least the ones i know do.

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.
