  1. Mine was pretty good considering it was the first one without my nan, but it went well. My grandad said he wasn't sure how it was going to work out but we all had a really nice day.

    Xmas Presents

    Dads getting me a battery grip for my cam I think. Not sure if it's the official model or the ebay knock off but either way, should be cool. He's also bought me a set of tyres and a stem for my new bike I'm kinda looking forward to it I guess, it should be fun, although it's the first xmas without my nan
  7. Woah woah woah Adam, slow down, you're forgetting Tim is always right!
  8. It really isn't that hard to set up a brake with them on the bottom of the seatstays. There's some other cycling type sport I have stuck in my head which uses inverted SS mounted brakes, but I can't quite put my finger on it Oh yeah... I assume you all find it impossible to turn your bikes upside down to set the brake up? and didn't one of the first DOB frames have inverted SS brake mounts too? Thought so...
  9. For me the forum took a massive downhill turn when you became a mod. The drugs don't work, they just make you worse, but I know I'll see your face again, Charlie Headley. I'll be honest, I've stayed out of this thread because these days I can't be bothered to read long posts, but that's because I'm tired from work when I get home and I have to do more work, but that's just my life and I'm going off the point. It's hard to pinpoint when tf "turned shit". I for one, think that it still has its good points, there are plenty of decent members on here, and I've met shit loads of awesome people on here, but trials isn't really going anywhere currently, so Trials Chat is just filled with boring stuff, I can't be bothered to watch Vincent riding, especially as I feel Gilles and Giacomo are miles ahead of him in riding terms, but I'd still rather watch a fast paced BMX video or a nice chilled flatland video, but that's just me. It's not to say I don't enjoy trials, but living in a town where there is only one other rider who pushes me, and being that winter is upon us and I'm working a lot, it means that I don't get a chance to ride very often. Hopefully in the spring I can get back out on my bike, make the few last changes to make it sub 8kg because I'm a faggy weight whore, and start enjoying myself again. The last ride I really remember was awesome, Eskimo 360'd Lloyds set on his Bionic, I learnt to sidehop properly, met loads of new people and generally had a really great time. I've had a few other decent rides since then but until the weather picks up again, I'll just chill on one of my other bikes. There are a fair few people I miss riding with a lot, including Grant, Burrows, Luke Rainbird, Dave Greening, Ben Johnson and Mat, but I'm sure we will all get back out on our bikes properly in a few months. Trials has slowed down for winter as it always does, and people are actually living their lives instead of coming on the forum. The forum isn't going to die, because I know I'm not the only one who feels that this forum is actually a pretty interesting part of my life, as sad as that sounds, but I do actually enjoy coming on here and I've made some awesome friends. To summarise, no JT, you won't ever become a SM.
  10. Could also try downloading Onyx and running all the jobs in the Automation section. Usually helps a lot.

    Blogs

    I subscribe to about 70 RSS feeds so I won't be writing them all out. Lifehacker, Engadget, TUAW, Seb Rogers, Random BMX, Global Flat, Strobist, are some of my favs.
  13. How long since you restarted? Have you checked for software updates recently? Is there anything suspicious looking in Activity Monitor (Apps > Utilities > Activity Monitor)?
  14. Nothing, you can upgrade the ram, and that's it really.
  15. Youtube Video -> Original Video Yes mate
  16. Good luck. It's a complete and utter ball ache! Have a quick google, you'll need to spend about £45 on a VGA converter box. Can get them from maplin.co.uk I think, HD one is about £70.
  17. Get a crucial socktuck on the go!
