Tomm

You're a dick on the internet. I have no idea what you're like in real life, but on here you're a dick. So no, I'm not going to come 300+ miles to stand up to you in real life and have a fight. That's stupid. You have never helped me personally, and I'm pretty sure you have never helped anyone on here. What's your point? Was he your older brother? Younger? Twin? Son? I know you're old enough to know better, put it that way. I'm sure on several occasions you've said you're twenty something, a shop owner, a married man etc. It's kinda hard to know what to believe. Perhaps you'd like to tell us how old you are, once and for all. I don't have anything against any of the older people on here (and you're right, I am one of them). But they don't come on here just to look big in front of the younger people, whereas you do. Anyway, arguing with you is almost as stupid as listening to you in the first place. So adios. Enjoy the slanging match.

I think you're pathetic for still being here. You're a twenty-something year old guy who just hangs out on a forum full of younger kids feeding them complete rubbish for no reason that I can see, to give you what? Some sense of superiority? Value? I suppose that your stories can be quite entertaining, in the same way that fairy tales are. But when you try and pass them off as fact to the newer people on this forum who don't know better (why would they?), that's just wrong. If this was my forum, I would do everything in my power to stop you coming on here. You contribute nothing but a load of crap to this forum. But yes, you are 'part of the sport' - Everyone who knows who you are knows to ignore your posts. It's just a shame that there are people here who are new and will probably believe the stuff talk about. Maybe the forum should have a warning on? Beware of Pete, he talks crap. Or maybe you should just grow up and stop all this.

Maybe this is why you need special forks Ali

I've been climbing and riding for probably 5 years and I only just got this problem too... Just one of those things.

It's quite impressive riding, but there's nothing there that you can't do on a BMX, and they've been doing that sort of stuff for years. Unless you're doing 'slopestyle' kinda stuff then MTBs are just like BMXs that limit your riding... Still quite good to watch though

If you're describing what I think, then it's a kind of repetitive strain tendonitis thing. I have it in my finger from climbing and riding and it won't go away, even after several months. But I'm old, haha. The bad news is that there's no real treatment, only rest. But the good news is that it doesn't really affect your riding/climbing - once you get over the pain it doesn't stop you doing anything.

2MP, no video. Apparently.

The iPhone isn't out in the states until June or something, so there's no chance of getting one before then. Even if you could get one, you need a 24 month contract to an american network, plus it'll be locked too. So it's just not gonna happen I'm afraid.

I wondered why it wasn't that funny.

What about uploading them to google video and then just downloading them when you need them again (There's a PSP option on there).

Clicking in joints is apparently due to carbon dioxide (gas) in you joint fluid. Then when you move, a bubble forms, pressure builds up and then it bursts with a clicking noise. But I don't really believe that, I'm not convinced that a bubble can be as loud as my ankle. I get clicks in just about all my joints some times, though my ankles are the worse. It seems to be a fairly common thing in trials riders, but I've not heard of that many 'normal' people with the same problem.

Saving face

At 179cm you can ride what you want, anything from a 1020 to 1100+. I really believe that frame length is due to style and not height. Maybe some short people (less than, say, 5'8") would struggle on a really long bike, but it really does depends on what you want to do and what you're comfortable on.

The cramp can be related to dehydration so make sure you drink plenty when you're out riding or when you get back. Water on its own is OK, but you need some salt in there, so things like fruit juice or lucozade etc are good. And stretch the muscle out if it hurts.

Darts is a pseudo-sport at best, it doesn't count. There aren't any real sports where a 50 year old overweight 20-a-day smoker alcoholic can be world champion.

Yeah. I'm almost ashamed that I have a Pro II front hub.

You're right, although it does say that REM is sometimes called Stage 5. I've never heard of this, but I think it's a bit pedantic to argue about it

Yeah, I was gonna say that. I've never watched it, but a lot of my friends love it so I'd imagine I'd enjoy if I sat down and watched it.

I like Cabron by the chilis. It's just a really spanish-style song that sounds funny

I never have interesting dreams. Or if I do, I always forget them. The only dreams I have are of me snowboarding or riding trials (usually manualling). Then I wake up to discover I'm not snowboarding and/or I can't manual for shit

Yeah, on the monitor, not on the computer. I'd be very surprised if it didn't have it, look harder, press more buttons

Degauss it then. It'll be on the screen options somewhere.

1) That's stupid. 2) The Intel chips only started being used a year ago, the iPhone has been in development for 2.5yrs. 3) It doesn't even take an Intel chip. EDIT: Too slow. Are they going to change the name of the iPod to the Apple Pod then? I doubt it

Everyone is moaning about that, but I don't really see the problem. Yeah, I can remove the battery on my phone, but the only reason I'd want to is to change the sim or something. I've never had to change a battery on a phone etc. It's only the fact that it's part iPod that people care. I didn't think ipod batteries were a problem these days anyway?

Oh yeah, check out this. See how many cups of coffee/coke/redbull it takes to kill you. Death by Caffeine. Sadly there's no info for ProPlus, though I think Proplus has about the same amount of caffeine as a normal cup of coffee (50mg).
