Good job on the site, in terms of the "art" page just keep in mind it will be a bit expensive to do so many colors in the first t-shirt design...however the second t-shirt design I think is great- the one with the huge big covered in blood coming around it. My only suggestion would be to bring the IMPACT down a bit, like it is in the VERY bottom...in the above picture it is far too bold...in fact it is in a different typeface. Instead keep it the same type face as below (some sort of proper or old english font) and just keep impact bold. Otherwise it really doesn't work at all with that old english right next to an art deco/ bauhaus font. Your layout for the t-shirt is fantastic, really fine. your digital art is fun as well- the photoshoped one is fine...not sure where you are going with but it works well in terms of graphic interest. The illustrator picture (i'm assuming) doesn't work that well. I can see what you are trying to do with the right side of the picture but you don't pull it together. Bring in some ideas from your t-shirts into there- i see you've already tried to put in the whole blood splotting effect and tried to keep the composition with the ubrella but it doesn't work I'm afraid. Just trying to give positive feedback to a young designer- for your age you should really keep going at it..I'm 23 years old and recently graduated with a graphic design degree and a minor in art history, so I'm not trying to blow steam up your arse by any means. Just trying to help out- its my job and my life from now on.

fun, fun, FUN!

on the same note as big events in england... where are the sick nass videos? where are the sick bikeshow 05 videos?

kevin S., its ok don't worry I was a bit tanked last night.

the ending was funny though :blink:

complete bastardization of one of the greatest songs to come out of NYC in the last 5 years with that editing. sorry if harsh.

ruben is an amazin rider.... im a bit drunk right now- who can identify the song? I know ive heard the artist before from the singing but im about to pass out :blink:

I could make a zip of all the songs I've used over the years if there is enough demand for it :dunno:

Good job joe, hate sum 41 but you are young so its ok...hope you like the songs

bolded the ones I've used...who used joy division and that les savy song? I've used both bands, but different songs...

i have no idea why i read this title as "masturbating the art of trials" :shifty: :P will be a great vid for beginners :rip:

the XTP copy as you call it, is vinces new bike... a bit higher bb to start. I believe they are only selling it as a complete bike to start, kind of strange if you ask me.

http://www.observedtrials.net/vb/local_lin...n=links&catid=4 link to my vids, there are quite a few that haven't been added...you have to be an OTN member to view it (Y)

anyone?? :">

it is very explosive and has high risk of pulling a muscle or other injury if you don't know what you are doing/do the technique wrong.

I should add that strength doesn't mean doing 500 lb deadlifts...but functional strength. You could be strong as hell in the weightroom, but you can't necessarily translate that strength onto a bike because you aren't trained to use your strength in the right way....which is where technique comes in.

One thing vincent said, that most of us guys from fort collins are much stronger than he is...but we don't have the technique. He said if we had the same technique we could go higher because of our power. At the top level, once we have thousands of riders trying to be that level, genetics will play a factor (right now we jsut have a few dozen riders riding at that level)...right now the balance between technique/mental/power is the most important thing for those at the top...many have technique and power, but not the mental aspect- or technique and a good mind but no power. Very few have mastered all 3.

Maybe if they had dropped out of school at 5 years old to train trials they would be as good as the rest B) There aren't enough riders in trials for genetics to separate the great from the poor YET. It's still in its severe infancy.
