    P2p Programs

    OLD SKOOOOL WINMX - Doeesnt need to install and it works at uni :unsure:
  2. Not quite true is it . . .. ? maybe i dont understand what you have said but speakers most definately do need power pushed into them - otherwise you wouldnt be able to hear them - the electric makes the cone go in and out. . . . So the set up is youve got line out from your PC and plugged that straight into a speaker... and its not very loud ( :unsure:" ) . Buying expensive audio cable will not make the thing noticeably louder - 10 inches of cable aint very far to make a huge loss of the signal...... The only thing you can do is stick an amplifier in the way - where did you get the speaker from ? a CD player - what sort - you may be able to bodge that up as an amplifier

    Waynio is a FOOT :lol: Awesome riding - some pretty insane lines by all...... TRA , Phil Williams , Waynio - Always gonna be good. (Y)
  5. The fading is because well I dont really know how im gonna put it together ... didnt want to give too much away either - its really just a quick burst of some riding - I kept the really good lines back .... On the filming front - boon obviously filmed the old stuff - all the stuff in gold is me and me flatmate (with the semi fisheye). HAHA TOLD YOU BOON - IM NOT ALONE . . . . .
  6. Ok Hi - You may or may not know I broke my wrist (scaphoid) falling off on a sidehop (getting my feet caught up in the pedals....) anyway - I had just started filming again for a new video so I got it on camera :D anyway I thought id show you ... (notice I picked the bike up with the offending arm straight away - hence not going to the doctor for 1.5 weeks !! :) ) Plus on the end are some short clips - much like a trailer for what i was going to put together . . . . so in 7 WEEKS ( :S ) there will be a proper video. So go to shitbmx (link below) to download (14MB) and maybe have a look at the site - if you havent already (dont lazy link please) .... Later RJ PS thanks to pinky - for the hosting and computer wizardry - FOOT :S
  7. not being funny but there is no point getting a decent amp and speakers if you are only going to plug in an ipod mini !!!! the sound quality from one of those is pretty poor, plus its coming from an mp3 or apple bollox source which has already reduced the quality somewhat........ Its only worth getting a quality amp if you have a quality source . . . . . .
  8. BUGGER ....... Yesterday I went to the nurse about my wrist (fell off a week n a half ago) she sent me to the doctor who sent me to the BRI for an urgent Xray - who sent me to another A+E doctor who put a f**kING CAST ON FOR 4 - 6 WEEKS (Y) Turns out ive broke my scaphoid bone - which apparently controls 80% of the movement in your hand and is very bad if you leave unfixed. (summut to do with a weak blood supply structure . . . ) so moral of the story is - go to the doctor if you fall and hurt your wrist . . . . . or - just dont fall off. anyway - Ill still be along - but deffo just rolling on the bmx . . . . LATER RJ
  9. obviously you have a pc - go buy a DVD burner - if it is a silly region thing then crack the thing onto your hd then bung it back onto an unregionized DVD - it will be worth it - the vid looks amazing - i honestly cant believe the 360 whip barspin . . . . (Y)
  10. Cant ride trials at the moment - although im off to visit the doctor/nurse and buy a brace for my arm...... Goodo ben two monkey bikes . . . .
  11. I did and i wet my pants but the walk/whip thingy was cool . . . .
  12. HAHAAAA - Ill be out rolling around on the bmx probably - maybe with the video camera or summut..... - still recovering from a severely buggered wrist (Y) See everyone out. (Y)

    My New Ride

    Good luck with that inner tube protecting your downtube . . . . . hehe (Y)
  14. Give up guessing everyone - prepare to be shocked. (Y)
  15. I seems like there probably is room for more pawls - and quite a simple job to put em in as in machine the freehub body and drill the spring hole . . . it shouldnt make the freehub body much weaker but tough to make them an offset set. just more of the load spread out . . .
  16. much more impressive than barspins - i dont think ive ever seen anything look as silky smooth, super tech and just down right cool . . . . . :)
  17. ha ha ha and on and on... all the abuse about the forks . . . . why ? they are too chunky for the spindly steel frame looks wise - as they are ally so they need to be... but they are actually quite good to ride . . . and like he said - thats what its all about . . . his bike rides like a dream and its quiet as a mouse - i likes it alot :- PS Look out for the boons "new" technique drop offs in his next vid - awesome (Y)
  18. looks nice - see you in a minute then . . . .. . :blink: :angry: rear tyre looks a little large for spins ?
  19. yer - tis true - happened to all the hope hubs i ever had and they are finally gonna do summut about it . . . . . trial hub . . yay you could file off the bits that stick out - as they could damage the ratchets but the ratches fit in the grooves already made
  20. looks loverly BOON signature frame .. . . . . what bb shell width does it use ???? and do you have to use a super long axle like on the 26 " curtis. . .? hehe
  21. Nice anyway . . . err supposed to be a trailer or teaser . . . . you cant tease use with riding along a high wall . . . . :D a glimpse of a decent tap and sidehoooop aint enough . . . but clearly as there is a trailer the actual vid will be legendary .. . . . :D
  22. ive ridden them they are identical in shape to echo urbans - but undoubtedly beefier . . . . ive been riding them for a couple of weeks . . . they are stiff as you like.... construction is very beefy ally legs and crown with beefy steel steerer bonded right in with a massive overlap. if i break em ill tell yer but. . . . . if boon breaks them ill be amazed.. . . so RJ
  23. yeah you are right - a carbon fibre rotor will shatter into pieces very soon.... as will all carbon fibre pieces if you scratch them they will get stress concentrations at that point and fail - so a carbon fibre disc rotor is possibly the most stupid and dangerous idea of all time .. . . some of the spacers a good idea - but again the cassette - silly - it wont work

    Mp3

    I dunno - if you want something small get a solid state one like a 512Mb jobbie they all sound pretty similar - they weigh nought and last ages on batteries the creative micro thingy while nice looking doesnt sound great . . . . which i think is abit pants for a hd / microdrive player.. .. . not sure what the apple mini is like but the ipod normal sounds pretty good but is abit overpriced - its an apple!! had a go on a sony hd / micro drive thingy the other day - sounds pretty good - is nice and small - but again probs quite pricy . . . plus what are you using it for ? ? ? if your gonna ride with it - id recomend a solid state one or a microdrive - as with a hard drive it wont last too well.... as jumping it when its spinning up wont do it much good . . . . all i can say is mine is abit clumsy ( its a beast ) but its dirt cheap - lasts for ages on the batteries ( which are replaceable - meaning inexpensive if you use it alot ) - sounds fantastic - one of the best ive heard - open source firmware . . . easy to use... its a really old archos jukebox..... plus you could essentially buy a cheap one on ebay (in 6Gb variety) and upgrade to like 40 Gb for a couple of quid on ebuyer with a cheap laptop hard drive . . . . bonza RJ
