  1. Vegas is so boring, its all about Forza 2 , fast cars
  2. I personally do not take much notice of what angle I hold my grinder at but at a guess 45 degrees or so. Seems to work fine with Koxx Browns and Plaz CRMs, absolutly rinsed my Echo 06 pads but the second set when the grind was dead were beautiful. Back to normal grind and plaz pads now though.
  3. Hmm, making tubes lighter eh? Must be a way But adding up a few holes here and there along with paint etc will save about 150g or so,half way there What about skillfully dremeling the built in booster off, just above the top mount holes. That should take a bit off???
  4. Good. Now to spot some other areas to mod. Basically I absolutly love the way the Czar rides but its a bit heavy compared to most "competition" orientated frames. I am planning on shaving some weight off by running different rims etc but the frame itself I would like to get down to 1.8kg instead of being nearer 2.1kg.
  5. How much would it weaken the frame by cutting through the flat area on the CNC yoke through to the bb thus creating a hole, similar to that on the BT Ninja 365??? On the czar frame, centre of the cnc chunk that is attatched to bb. Just like an oval hole really.
  6. You sick b****** that gap to front on the high walls, highly impressive. Did you stack it at all??? or make it first time. Nice riding over all, very impressive.
  7. It all depends how deng feels, normally Zoo and Echos come out first then the Adamants, then GU and Czar follow. It will be a while yet the Czar has only been around 2 months month.
  8. Good riding, very impressive however I got a little bored of just seeing drop gaps, fair enough they were impessive but there were no frontwheel moves that I remember, I think I just got bored after the 17th drop gap really. Very good riding but the video was a bit boring, mix it up a bit more and only include your best drop gaps.
  9. Will probaboly get a few people saying "you should wear a helmet" etc but its up to you at the end of the day. Personally I reccomend searching the video thread and finding the video of WHY YOU SHOULD wear a helmet. I would highly reccomend one, my mate doesnt wear one because "it doesnt look good" but hey, you cant look good if your dead People are always alright on group rides, been on a few down in Portsmouth, tis a right laugh once you get to know people. As someone said so long as it doesn not rain we are always happy.
  10. Basically someone low jacked his msn and is typing for him. I read about this somewhere on the net the other day, unfortunately I cannot remember where.
  11. Have to agree with dave, music was good, most of the riding was good but it was really inspiring or anything. Ive seen your other videos and you can do better than that. Dont get me wrong the riding was good but it just did go with the song. Did get pretty boring pretty quick.
  12. Was there even any need for it? doesnt look too bigger gap.
  13. Just more to add to this already weird experiment.
  14. Ok, so after someone complained about the length of our condom, I decided to better myself, better video angle and also it stayed inflated for a lot longer. We used different condoms this time, instead of Magnum XLs we just used Large, seemed to work better had a bit more stretch as you will notice in the video it grows in length lol, held it at about 82 and it was beautiful. Enjoy condom fun 2 Condom Fun 2 We were going to try a mega condom fun attempt by having it between 2 cars but the road was too busy and it seemed a bit dangers, but if anyone feels like trying let us know how it goes.
  15. I like it, its different to Dengs offerings and looks quite nice imo. I am also liking the blue hope mono trial on there, maybe they will start selling them in various colours I would be tempted to get the stock depending on final geo and the weight as it looks damn nice.

    Its not the cheapest out there, but still not a bad price for office 2007 OCUK# I was fortunate enough for my friend to give me a copy, his dads worked ordered too many and were selling the enterprise edition for £20 a piece .
  17. Just thought, surely cmd will run, if so its a very powerful tool. You can normally find all the commands you need online. OR create a batch file to move the files you need if possible.
  18. Oddly enough this is why I run multiple HDs as I frequently break windows when messing around with it. On my new build thought I used an old HD and it booted to windows fine with COMPLETELY differrent components, complained about it needing re-activating due to a massive change in hardware but it worked none the less. As Kris said, with major upgrades such as motherboards its best to re-install windows. Sounds like windows is corrupt, if none of the windows components themselves are loading. Just re-read your post. So long as you have the serial for windows you can download a copy off the internet and it will work fine. This is one time when piracy is fantastic. Get a friend to download the same version of windows you had and create a disc for you. Enter your legit cd-key that came with the original windows disc and problem solved.

    iTunes deffinately fixed as I updated my shuffle other day. I would not say I am a hardcore gamer or such but I do run a lot of media applications and such, also do some programming here and there. I do not really need 64 bit but its deffinately faster than 32bit vista, got 64 on pc and 32 on laptop. So far only 4 programs I use are still not x64. Firefox, uTorrent, VLC and MSN Messenger. Firefox does have a 64 bit version but I chose not to use it as its not official and is more from the community, not totally into trusting it yet. As you said for average joe, such as my dad, a computer n00b, 32bit is better, but for people who know what they are doing 64 seems good. Came across my first problem with it today though, my DV cam doesnt do USB streaming anymore, nothing major seeing as I use the 1394 connection anyway. As for the laptop coming with office I highly doubt it as office alone is something like £100. Look in the right places on the net and you may find it very cheap/free. You will probaboly get microsoft works though.

    Check out the £400 dell thats floating around the bottom of the first page, its good for the money.
  21. Its a trade off. Try-All rims are lighter, have a smaller sidewall and are made of a slightly softer alu, this causes them to lose their grinds quicker but they are lighter due to this. Echos are heavier, have a larger sidewall and will take more grinds because they last longer due to the harder alu used. If you dont mind the extra weight I would get the echo, if its for competitions go with the try-all. I have never had a rim die on me due to a grind, to the extent of the picture above. Mine have all died due to flatspots or mega dents, mainly due to my harsh riding.

    I never said it would slow the processor, I said on budget/mid range hardware it would run slightly slower (missed the word run before) I am still sticking with what I said, a lot of people will agree (maybe not on this forum) but it is time to jump to x64.

    There is a dell somewhre in this thread for about £400 which was pretty good for the price. Bottom of the first page I think.
  24. Still waiting for my account with Natwest to be set up, did it online as well, that webcam just seemed such a good freebie ontop of the rail card etc.

    Im pretty sure it has been patched with the 32bit software, seeing as I am running Mozilla Firefox which is only 32bit unless you run the special x64 version which I do not. I would not say that it is faster as such, cannot do a direct comparison but I would imagine on budget/mid range hardware it would possibly be slightly slower with all the visual effects of Vista turned on. Good none the less and I deffinately reccomend Vista to all users and those who feel confident with computers and have the 64 capabilties go X64. EDIT: Just re-read your post, most companies are starting to get the 64bit drivers out the door and a lot of people are saying now is the time to switch. Unless there is the demand for 64bit drivers and software companies will not invest in producing it and unless everyone starts to shift over it wont really happen till the companies force you to use 64bit. Check out a few of the tech websites most have a thread in the forum about whether its the right time to switch to x64 or not. I have not had any problems with drivers as yet but my friend did with his DVD burner, they released the 64bit driver for it though a couple of months after Vista was released, he got it the day it came out when it had many bugs and lots of driver problems.
