	Go on www.jailbreakme.com on your iPhone, follow the simple on-screen instructions, about 2 minutes (on Wi-Fi) later, hey presto, jailbroken iPhone. My Touch on 4.1 (or 4.2, can't actually remember) works great, no problems, of course to get free apps you're going to need to add repos etc. most of the time, and there's been issues with some IPAs not working, but there's generally a selection, so it doesn't matter much. } Or so I've been told. And as far as I know, there's no way Apple can trace it if your iPhone's been previously jailbroken, and to go back to normal, (or "un-jailbreak" it) it's as simple as resetting your iPod to factory settings. Winner.

	Pikeyed my Dad's old hack bike, and took it out for a spin while my trials is on the mend*. Awesome fun! *In other words, strength to fix it is lacking.
 - 
	Did this ride get cancelled or something? I was at the station around 12:10 till 12:30, went to look at some spots 'round Blackburn to see if I could find someone, then went back to the train station before going home at 1:00-ish.
 - 
	I'm not looking to do it, I was just curious, and couldn't see it enduring the weight of the bike and the rider for long.
 - 
	Slightly OT: That snowflake spoke pattern, does it offer any strength at all? Not for trials, just in general.
 - 
	No Traktor! It will make you want to murder something.

	F**KING LOL! The only thing worse than people coming in with their text talk and their pointless replies are the people that moan about it and go on about how good the "good ol' days" were. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfhztkVTTdA Change happens, nothing stays the same forever, f**king deal with it, learn to adapt.

				Can Trials Still Be Fun For The Short Of Time And Low In Talent
Dwarf Shortage replied to supertwisted's topic in Trials Chat
I've just watched a video of a small child riding trials1, and I'm not ashamed to admit he's a shed load better than me, but I still have a lot of fun riding, learning, and failing. I ride an hour or two every other night, and can definitely feel myself progressing, as well as feeling a load more comfortable on normal bikes just nipping around, definitely give it a try 1Click me! - 
	Those boxes are pretty.

	It says Fruity Loops on the program, it's Fruity Loops. Also, good luck with sticking with it, I downloaded it a year or so back, played with it for like 4/5 days, got pissed off and haven't touched it since. I've also used Traktor, Reason, Virtual DJ, all sorts of crap, and there was one out a while back (2005-ish) which is the only one I've actually liked, if I can find it I'll post what it's called, it's great fun, a lot more simple than FL, and relatively good for making music.

	You are too kind. I would be most grateful if you endeavoured to compose a "Brake sound remix"
 - 
	I regret to inform you that I do not have what you desire, alas, I post here in the off-chance that you are making a "Brake squeal remix", and may subsequently come back and feast my eyes upon said "Brake squeal remix" at a later date, upon viewing my content, and realised further posts have been made. I doubt no-one will have anything, but in the occasion that this is the case, I'll record mine tomorrow, as they're pretty horrific, and although lacking in any power, noise is abundant.
 - 
	If I were you, I wouldn't buy a new one if you can have a go at fixing it, give it a bleed first and see if that stops the "sponginess", if it does, whack a new TPA wheel in, Tartybikes sell metal ones that are far less likely to strip.

	LOL! Front maggy 4tw, haven't tried any trials-specific discs, but every single disc brake I have used has been dogshite, so I naturally tend to stay away... This topic could do with a poll as well.

	Kieran does something clever, then quotes a 10-line post, just to add "" Aaaand, the natural equilibrium is restored.

				Teenage Angst Communal Agony Aunt Thread
Dwarf Shortage replied to Has anyone seen my shoe?'s topic in Chit Chat
Try not to over-analyse, she could be "playing hard to get", she could genuinely "not be feeling good", amongst a load of other things, I wouldn't confront her just yet, just wait it out and see what happens. Obviously don't pretend you've lost all interest in seeing her, try to hint at it, but not go on about it if she hates that kinda thing. EDIT: I've pure scan read your previous posts, so if I'm way off the mark, and my post consists mostly of faggotry, ignore me. But still, The Streets have it dialled. - 
	Real nice riding, nice editing, and a decent tune too, winner. That kid on the scooter didn't look real!
 - 
	Hence why he said "looks like x", not "resembles x exactly". Anyway, bike looks sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet, and that's mega cheap! I was a big fan of the phanter graphics though
 - 
	But you can't make a hoe a housewiiiiiiiiiiife...
 - 
	YES! I LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURVE ROOFTOPS!! And that backflip off a log at the end was also, f**king awesome.
 - 
	I know I can take it on the train, I asked last time I was on, but I've got a bus pass, was just after saving like 80p haha. Awesome I'm gonna have to snag a chain splitter first, what tensioner is it? But yeah I'll definitely try and make it down.
 - 
	Once you get into the forum, and realise the sheer amount of illiterate keyboard bashers that post on here in some sort of code language, they become far too repetitive to consider deciphering, and hence far less likely to be helped. So, in a roundabout kinda way, it's helping others, to help themselves, to be helped.
 - 
	Siiiiiiiiiiiick, if I've got my tensioner sorted by then I'm in Probably still will if I've not got it sorted, just hang around and put some names to faces, as I'm literally 10 minutes away. On a related note, does anyone know about bus companies* attitudes towards buses on bikes? *Transdev/SpotOn
 - 
	I love how you have this ability to flaunt everything you've ever done, whether it's positive or negative, IT'S STILL F**KING AWESOME IN YOUR WORLD.
