  4. Skate park Etiquette and unwritten rules?

    in Trials Chat

    Posted · Edited by Miss-Higgy

    My favoured tactic for moving the scooter kids is, when they snake me go anyway like they did and get as close as possible to hitting them. After that they tend to avoid you.. And that really is a last stand tactic.

    In my opinion it all comes back to children not being brought up properly and their parents having no respect, therefore the children grow up being worse than the adults. 80% of the worlds population is full of self involved arseholes who have no care or forethought for people around them. I could compare the way a skatepark works these days to so many other things and produce the same conclusion, motorways for instance, "oh ill be over taking another truck in a mile so i might as well sit in the middle lane. I'm going at 55mph" Not having any thought for the person sat in the inside lane going at 70mph that will have to pull all the way out to get round them.. Food shopping in your local store.. "owhh an offer i don't want but its on offer! I'll just stop dead to gawp at it!" Also "This super wide path with share with care written all over it, that must mean we need to walk side by side and not let anything else use this path"

    These situations all involve adults and if these people could wake up and learn to think of others then their off spawn may also be capable of this. Until then i see no improvement for skateparks that are unmonitored. Rampworx in Liverpool has it right! Anyone found not following their etiquette will be ejected…

  6. How to get contact with a girl who you do not know?

    in Chit Chat

    Posted · Edited by Miss-Higgy

    This sounds like an episode of Friends or something jeeesus. So cheesy who even does that :P

    I can't think how to say this in a forum full of guys that will instantly take it the wrong way!

    A small amount of cheese is acceptable, as romance in general if you look at it is cheesy.

    HIPPY:

    I know loads of people who have really good and strong relationships that met via dating sites, whats to loose by trying?

    1. Well yeah, it does. Actually It would be better to get a friend to a Valentines date, who you know and she knows you, rather than a pickup line

    2. See quote above, the guy was suggesting to go to he library to read about ladies

    3. Well.... let say alone. I am not sure if I could cope well with a group about asking a girl for a drink at first

    1 Don't envolve friends, we're not in the school playground :P

    2 didn't read all the daft answers people have put, just gave you my answer to your first post.

    3 if she's with friends leave drink behind bar or get the bar person to go give it to her, you'll need to tip the bar man. But again the confidence part goes out the window

    Thats a good idea but there is one that i must try

    Let me be your Valentine!

    My name is Valentine btw :)

    I might try trial as well. Ill see

    Itsmatt

    I am not going to read after in library as i tend to overcomplicate stuff... That would just make me more nervous lol

    I said ditch the cheesy lines lol :P Its all good an well having valentine as a name, but personally would respect you more for not using it as that "cheesy line". Once your chatting names come up in convo and finding out thats a surname or whatever will be a lot better if it only came up in convo. If that makes any sense.

    How do you mean "might try trial" and why do you need to go to the library if you've seen her at the pub?

    And is she with a group of friends or drinking alone?

    that just sounds like it would be/ could go horribly awkward haha :(

    I don't see how knowing where you stand could go wrong, and its only awkward if your unconfident about doing it. Example "hey, my names blah blah. Can i grab you a drink while I'm up?" portrays confidence and decisiveness. Two attractive things about a guy in my opinion. "erm, hi, erm want a drink?" makes you think do one straight away leaving you feeling awkward.

    I was doing this fine one time but when I bowed she didn't bow back so I had to back away slowly as to not disrespect.

    It was probably going fine until that moment :P I don't think we've been bowing since the 1800's :D

    Ditch any cheesy pick up lines. Keep it simple and either buy her a drink over the bar and ask barman/barmaid to say it was you and wave as she gets it. Then pop over and say hi and ask her name and ask if she minds you joining her. Or be blatant and go over and ask her if she'd like a drink… Keep eye contact at all times and be yourself…

    This way you find out where you stand quickly instead of wasting time when she has a b/f or aint interested.

    In progress at the moment, just waiting for the wheels to be built and it needs cables & chain and its running. Really happy with it so far for a lightweight XC bike, and its only set me back 30 quid at this point.

    2010 boardman comp fi frame, raceface ride xc cranks, magura mt140am forks (weigh nothing :o) slx mechs and shifters, spoon saddle, hayes brakes (needs upgrading i think), charge spoon saddle, comancial bars and a bike hut stem ( race face ride xc stem needed i think to match the cranks.) specialised hubs on dt swiss xc rims.

    I'll grab some pics of my steel hard tail trail bike later thats deffo been pimped now :)

    Royal blood is slow as shit. Don't see what's wrong with wanting to try something new, makes a nice change to see a new topic on the forum lately.

    Fair enough then. :P But what about my GT85 suggestion, it is water based at the end of the day?

    Scared of them, i'm quite skinny so there's nothing for me to land on haha! I need to spend a few days at a skatepark really and just keep doing them till i get it. And 3's on flat are well hard, especially on a mk1 element hehe

    Good video I enjoyed watching :) , I couldn't tell though are you riding brakeless?

    Thanks everyone, and yeah i ride brakeless. Nuts i know but i have commitment issues and you can't pull your brake at last minute if you don't have them hehe.

    Good riding but I gotta say add some more variation. 180's or 360's, or manuals would improve this video tenfold

    This is my intent for my next video, will hopefully have foot jam whips dialled soon, 180's on flat i can do no problem its the whole going fakie i struggle with! And i need to spend a few days a foam pit before you'll see 360's from me. And i did want more manuals for this film but my camera people were getting bored :P

    Again thanks for all the comments so far :)

    Not here to start rows about what i'm actually doing in this video and what i'm running or not. I'm riding a bike we all have that in common at least.

    Most of this was done first attempt if not second. If it wasn't landed in two it was left for another another day!
    Video footage is a bit meh and i decided not to mess with the audio.
    All in all not that impressed with my riding or the footage, but still I've made the video now. Here it is…

    Think i need a level up this year

    Yea it was kool riding and I can't do half of that stuff. Iv got respect for it and and how hard it is just like any sport.

    I was bored because we are at trials forum and I was expecting some trials.

    Did sean post it to us? No, it was posted by a fan/person who thought it was cool for us lot who also liked it to admire the skill factor. Not for TGS loving flanges to slag it off. grow up, get some imagination..
