    Crazy Bmxer

    Massive riding, but nothing that hadn't been done on various props road fools probably 10 years ago...
  2. Can't believe this, my mates who have no relation to biking at all are sending me this video because they thought I'd appreciate it! Best video ever without a doubt in any biking discipline, pushing everything to the limit, even the drop towards the end off the bridge has got to be nearly as big as the one Tunnicliffe broke his ankle on. Some egit on youtube commented saying it was CGI haha, shows how unreal the riding is! Well done Danny and all involved
  3. If it happened before you could try telling them that you'd asked for the overdraft facility to be removed last time it happened, so didn't think there was anything to worry about. Happens to my mate all the time and he usually gets away with it, but not all the time. Worth a try though
  4. Reminds me of evolve, never see them like that anymore! Cheers for posting
  5. Great video to watch, made better by the quality of it! Good find
  6. Was a quality match, well said about being a box in a cardigan, atleast rafa shows some emotion and is more exciting to watch! I used to be a fan of his, but in my eyes hes gone downhill, just same old same old.
  7. In 2007 mobile phone useage was higher than land line useage, and its estimated that 4 billion people worldwide will have a mobile phone by 2010! In 1999, 50% of all bank lending in europe related to the telecom industry Supposed to be revising and those are some random facts on the notes, not very interesting though haha
  8. Ahhh what a video!! Used to be my favourite, always dreamed of being able to ride like that and have a big crowd instead of being looked at as a nuisance
  9. Dropped a portable DVD player in the sea. Worst day ever...
  10. You know when Ben turned the donkey wheel thing to move the island, the room was cold and he had a puffy jacket on. In the episode when he ended up in the desert, this was after doing that, but he seemed suprised to be there. What if you end up in a hot desert or a cold desert?? Then through some crazy time passage, this would explain how the polar bears got onto the island. Then they go off the same way somehow, and then that archiologist found the skeletons of the polar bear with the dharma collar on in the desert. Lost does run away with my head sometimes trying to work stuff out, but does anyone think I'm talking a bit of sense haha?
  11. Depends on individual really, like what course you're doing, how much money your parents/loans/grants are giving you and how much you like to spend. You can make it through without one as I have this year, just spending a tenner on the cheap nights out and walking back, but I miss being able to buy clothes and not having to worry about money on a night out, so I'm planning to get one next year. My course is only about 15 hours a week, so I can afford a few nights a week working I think, but I know engineering courses or anything like medicine demand your whole time really. All down to personal preference though. If you know you want one, get one sorted, but you could just see how it goes for a few weeks, as you won't want to be working in freshers week! Only downside to this is lots of jobs will already be taken by other skint students. Hope that provided a bit of insight, everyones different though
  12. Apparantly you break your toes about 10 times a year but don't ever know about it? And also you eat loads of spiders in your sleep without knowing.......
  13. Yahoo is $2.4 billion. This websites crazy, guess it can only be a guide though, interesting though!
  14. As if, I watched that section7 vid yesterday, what a coincidence. When I first watched it, I thought "he gets a flat at the end of this". Ahh vids like that which got me out riding, good to see! Remember that bike show as well, best 1 ever, Dave Mirra was at it and I think it was the year koxx started! They seemed to go downhill from then onwards though. Cheers for posting these vids, get more on if anyones got them
  15. Woaahhhh what an episode!! Can't wait for next week, gonna be amazing. A lot answered there!
  16. I reckon its moving in time so people can't find it haha
  17. Pure core strength, thats well good
  18. The black guy paid a visit to hurley in the mental home, hes something to do with dharma. The guy who did a test on young John is the guy who pursuaded juliette to come on to the island and do the work with the pregnant women, only he hasn't aged whatsoever (presumeably another rule of the island that people don't age or something...) I think there is a lot of stuff about the island being like a game with rules about who can and can't be killed. The way ben tried to kill loch, but he couldn't and in the most recent episode when the marine guy tried to kill michael on the boat, the gun didn't work. Ben also said a few episodes when he visited charles widmore in bed that it "wasn't in the rules". What else does everyone think? Any suspicions as to what the season finale will be like??
  19. Some interesting stuff but found it fairly boring and depressing, probably as I was proper hungover. Was never going to be as good as last weeks though, hard to follow.
  20. I heard strong rumours that it was you had to have 100 registered lessons before you could take your test. Personally it sounds like just another way for the government to make a few hundred million by taxing driving instructors more, and passing it off as improving road safety, 100 lessons is absurd. It doesn't take anyone 100 hours to learn to drive, if you can't after that you're not concentrating properly or something. The way its going driving is going to become an increased luxury, with oil reaching the $120 a barrel mark at the moment. It's expected to rise towards $200 a barrel soon, pushing the price of petrol probably to double what it was 2 years ago. I swear our whole country is going mad, ready to completely collapse. I know its off topic, but think of how much stuff used to be compared to now, my house was about £90,000 8 years ago, petrol was around 70p a litre I think, and mars bars etc. were <30p. Now my house is worth just under £500,000, petrol is about £1.09 a litre, and mars bars are nearly 50p. I know they're little things, but it shows how much more expensive stuff is. And because the cost of living is going up, people are having to borrow more, which the banks can't keep doing as they're losing money, which means the government and bank of england have to sort it out which is sending them into debt, so they need to come up with new ways to make money e.g. taxing driving instructors who will give 100 lessons to each new driver. That was completely off topic and is probably completely wrong, but that's how I see it, and it annoys me how this country is going. Rant over haha. As for driving, I don't think its confirmed or anything, listen to trials_punk_182
  21. ArghhhH!!!! Was gonna watch it before I went to my 9am because we had a fire alarm, only to find out it was an april fools and it started with "previously on lost", when it turned into an episode of flavor of love ihrofhshfjhdskfhapojsfo! That is so annoying, everyone check the comments before you download any torrents. Downloading a new one now!
  22. That's quality he's going to schools, didn't realise that happened at all. Wish he'd come to my school when I was younger. More stuff like this going on would make trials massive in 5 years or so I think.
  23. Fair play if you do it and make it, but I used to think I would be able to do them easily on my bmx at our jumps, as I could backflip on trampolines and on grass relatively easily. I didn't get anywhere close except for a few half spin bail things, but when I went to corby foam pit, I couldn't get the technique at all really, it's much harder than you think to get it. I'd also like to point out anyone that read MBUK will know ashton also broke his back trying a backflip for the first time, and put him out of riding for months! If you really think you can do it fair enough, but atleast find a matress or something so you don't snap your spine completely if it does go wrong. Best of luck man, get a video if you do!
  24. I used to really want a tortoise, like really, but realised it wasnt the best idea as they'll live probably beyond your life span. I know when you get them they're about the size of a 50p and grow a cm a year roughly, and all they eat is grass so fairly low maintenance. Quite a cool animal though, may still get one when I'm older and aren't moving back and forth from uni etc. Plus they're easy to handle, can just put them on the grass in the summer and stuff. Only downfalls though, hibernation = boring and how long they live for. These could both work to your advantage though!
