    Scorpio 20"?

    Scorpio were made in Japan. I believe the owner passed away fairly recently. Their website is here https://scorpiobikes.jp/product/frame but I can't see any that match that one.

    Jon Mack - Pallet Playtime

    Well, bearing in mind I rode lots in the summer and got no footage I decided I should start filming, so I went out for about an hour and a half today and got some footage which I've put into a little edit for all of you. It's nothing special, I was riding for myself really, to see where I need to improve, but decided to upload it anyway. It's about the 6th time I've been out on the bike this year so I don't think I'm doing too badly, definitely need to ride more to get better bike control again. It's pretty repetitive, because I was mainly practising stuff to front (which has payed off, learnt them on Saturday on 4 pallets, and I successfully did 5 today for the first time everrrrr) but either way, I hope you like it, and try keep the comments positive please guys! Sorry about the dirty lens :P
  5. Just came on here to post this, enjoy. http://www.bikeradar.com/road/news/article...-for-2010-24363
  6. No, it doesn't. What's considered the "correct" thing to say would be twenty ten. I know twenty ten sounds better than two thousand and ten, I didn't mention two thousand and ten anywhere in my post, you jumped to a conclusion. Yes, yes they will. Because 10 is ten, not 0-10, yes I know there is a zero before it, but you wouldnt say two zero ten, you'd say twenty ten. No, they say twenty twelve, so why do you say oh-ten?
  7. oh-twenty-three, DUH! Jardo, seriously, oh-ten? You're a douche.
  8. The Czar Ivan was the first Czar stock frame, which had a headtube very similar to the Koxx XTP.
  9. You either missed a 2, or added a 0
  10. You and me both, I'm all about kicking the FUZZLE outta people!
  11. What is it with you and that fucking word?!
  12. Yeah Wiggins is a champ. Shame about the TT and the wind!
  13. Gotta give Cav some credit though, 5 wins?! EDIT: I didn't mean credit haha, guess I meant.. well I dunno, but he's the f**king boss.

    Hip Hop.

    Vimeo Video -> Original Video Not only is it a massive tune, but that video is class!
  15. Vimeo Video -> Original Video Just watched that, so so so good!
  16. Unfortunately the hole is pretty big, but Muels adapter would sell pretty well I reckon.
  17. Surely that's your fault for not being able to preload a headset properly?
  18. Thanks, I think I've posted a picture maybe 4 or 5 times, maybe once in happy thread, in tattoo thread a couple of times, probably in post a pic of yourself, and in here, even still, they're all for valid reasons. If I had taken the money, I wouldn't have given it to charity, I'm not that conscientious.
  19. It just looks really f**king gay, and makes edge look even more stupid than people already think it is. Where did I say you'll break edge when you're 18? I didn't. I didn't say the temptation will get the better of you AT ALL, I just said that I've seen it happen to people before, I didn't say YOU'RE GONNA BREAK EDGE WHEN YOU'RE 18! You seemed to read my posts like they were directed at you, they aren't. In fact I said, so lighten up. Where have I implied I'm better than anyone else? I've actually said Pretty much. Notice I said you don't HAVE to. Yeah I call myself jonXmack on XBL, that's because I'm proud of my decision, again, the tattoo, I've already stated it's for myself, it's not to brag or show off, it's just something that means a lot TO ME. To be straight edge you don't have to do these things, but I am proud of the lifestyle. Did you actually bother to read my posts? Where I said Why carry on doing something if you don't enjoy it? If everyone in the world became edge, then good for them, it wouldn't make me change my mind and become a drinker, I'm not that fickle. Also I've stated reasons why I started claiming edge, so don't be a dick and try and bring that up again. I don't claim to have a moral high ground over anyone, I never have and I never will, I don't look down on people who don't drink, I don't see any problem with people drinking, I just choose not to, and I think it's something to be proud of. Sure, you might not, and you might give up drinking and be like, this is easy, what's all the fuss about, good for you, but I don't see why there's a need to aim such huge amounts of negativity towards me. Seems no one can actually be f**ked to read all of my posts. I don't see where I have claimed moral high ground over anyone, and if you wonder why I'm being defensive, how would you like if it you were the one of a handful of drinkers on the forum, and everyone was giving you shit because of the choice you have made? EDIT: JT, I forgot to quote you, but I've honestly never been in that situation, and if I was in it, I still wouldn't drink it. I once got offered £100 cash to take a sip from a pint, but I didn't do it. I'm not bragging, I'm just saying that I like to be edge and wouldn't sell out.
  20. See Sam, that's the kind of response I would expect, not the bullshit you came out with. Yeah I did used to get a fair bit of shit, but now as I've been edge for over 3.5 years, all of my friends are used to it and just take the piss in a harmless way, which I don't mind. I know a few vegans, some of them are militant as f**k and go on marches and stuff, others, like my sister, don't do anything about it, they don't try and preach, they just get on with it. I don't see straight edge as a moral high ground, I can assure you that that's how some people see it, but not me. It's just my choice, I don't judge those who aren't, in fact I know personally less than half a dozen fellow edge kids, so I'm not gonna hate on those who aren't, or i'd have no friends. It wasn't really close friends who were trying to force it, obviously they knew I didn't drink, but people who I was meeting for the first time while out, friends of friends type thing, and while going to all the "uni partys" in the first year in halls, they were the ones that couldn't understand why I didn't drink, "You're at uni man, you gotta have a drink", that was the kinda attitude that really helped me make the decision. I actually gave up drinking in November(ish) '05, but then I got semi drunk on New Years Eve '05/'06, and then when I was walking home at about 2am, with a tiny amount of alcohol in my system, after having a pretty shitty night, and witnessing plenty of people acting like dicks (it was that night that my supposed "best friend" went nuts at me for trying to get on the girl he liked, when in reality we were just chatting, in fact he still owes me £75 from that night, nice one "mate") , it hit me that drinking wasn't enjoyable any more, and it just caused a lot of shit, so I decided to stop. It honestly wasn't until probably about 9-10 months later until I started seriously claiming edge, and over the years as I said previously, it has become more and more important to me. I was thinking about it riding to work, and there are some lyrics that stick in my mind about straight edge, you'll probably think they're cheesy and lame, but they're from the song For You, For Me by Set It Straight, I can only imagine how amazing this show was, this is the kinda atmosphere and rush I'm talking about that makes me proud to be edge, and is one of the reasons why music means so much to me. Letting those guys know that their words have changed my outlook on life is important to me, other people might not see it, but that's just how I feel.

  21. Sam, you selectively chose parts of my posts to make it look I was trying to contradict myself, I can't even be bothered to reply to you properly. Yes, I used to drink a lot, especially at uni. I used to get black out drunk pretty much every Weds night for the first 2/3 months of uni. Yeah, I've tried all sorts of stuff. No I did used to like some drinks, but not enough to make me wanna keep drinking No Pretty much I try to be caffeine free too, I might have a Lucozade if I'm out and about, but that's just cos I like the taste. I drink energy drinks, but I make them all myself so I know exactly what's going into them.
