  1. I finally got home at 6ish yesterday, I was too nackered to reply last night. I also thought it was a VERY good event. Tom put so much effort into this event it was disheartening that so few turned up (maybe not easter day next time Tom :lol: ) The course was mint, everything was really stable and had countless lines. I also want to thank Phil williams,Heatsink and Howies for sponsering the event. (well done Tim for the win)
  2. yep, its the same place. 2 pubs???? where have you been looking? Hebden is only a small town but I can count 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.....well, you get the idea, theres about 15 within a 4 mile radius. shame I dont drink aye lads (Y)" the reason I have a beard is so I fit in with all the lessies (Y)
  3. I think they look great, the stock sounds like it has really good geo (what I would want anyway) and I think its a lot better looking than the xtp (quite an ugly frame)
  4. I think I will become a member now that I can drive my self to the comps, can you supply me with the forms at the event? I think Tim and dan smith are comming on sunday as they are working on sat.
  5. I am scared of the dark, deep water (you never know what monsters are in there!) and flying makes me a bit nervous. I also hate rejection, maybe thats why I have never asked anyone out :S One thing that really scares me is having to live independantly! I dont think I would last a month without people to help me organise my bills, tax, insurance etc. Also, I am really scared of breaking my neck and being parolised, that would be a nightmare!

I have signed up to the gaming site and put £10 in. and is a referal just someone clicking on the link? dont they have to do anything after that? Ps, I have been through all the posts clicking the links, I hope others are doing the same :o"

    Bmx Questions

    gah! I have just tryed to get my brakes better but now they aint working at all! Its the cables, they dont return, you pull the lever and it stays where it is. I am getting well and truly annoyed with these brakes. bongo, what exact setup are you using, levers, cables, gyro etc
  14. cheers for the help guys. I saw on ebay an adaptor that you put in your cig lighter, it has a usb type port which I presume takes memory sticks (or my i pod shuffle). I cant find the link now but that sounds pretty sweet. Not sure how it connects to the speakers though, possibly through the radio? anyone know anything about it?
  15. how the hell do you dare do stuff like that? thats just nuts! Best bmx vid I have seen
  16. well it will deffo work for the rim tape. Try the hose, but if it doesnt stick (which I am sure it will) then just paint it or somthing if you REALLY want it green
  17. good old electical tape use it to tape your rim and your current hose. there will be loads of green grips around. Hope make nice green parts (hubs, stems, headsets etc)

    well, I'll give'm a good scrub and ride burnley some time (will you be there on monday?) and if they dont feel right, I will expriment with differernt cables and lubes. Ps one of my spanish fly pads came apart after an hours use (Y) it was on the back, but is now on the front, shouldnt cause any more probs.

    Bmx Questions

    I have used just about every cleaning product in my kitchen (Y) I dont think it will be soo bad now that I can drive to the park instead of riding street (wet street :)" ). But they just feel naff, I aint known for a strong grip either, maybe I dont have the strength to pull them? I sooooo want your brakes, they are loverly (Y)

    my evolver brake, with spanish fly pads and nice smooth cables is still wank, I can just about get the bike to skid (Y) I cant see a flaw with the setup, it pulls reletivley nicley (not as nice as yours) , both pads hit the rim at the same time and square. I am using linear slick cables. My front brake is even worse, its really gritchy, I have tryed to make the cable into a nice smooth loop, but it still feels wank and it has hardly any power. I am using primo hula hoop chrome rims and tech 77 levers, what more can I do?
  21. I have been using isis for the past3 years or so, I cant ever imagian using square taper again. I could straight away feel the extra stiffness isis gives. I have also been lucky to have never brocken any bb axle, but with isis I feel more confident. I also havnt had any roundage problems while using isis unlike when I used square taper.
  22. try some club roost 1 ds, I think winstanleys bmx are doing them for £10 now (Y) or wooly hat shop do the 2d virsion for £25
  23. I havnt seen many films, but I really like: the matrix dumb and dumber snatch fight club brother oh where art though oceans 11 who framed rodger rabbit thats all that I can think of now that I really like
  24. one reason I want an mp3 player is so I dont have a pile of cds getting scratched, I dont mind what order the music comes, so I wont be searching for a particular sone (I love them all :) )
  25. I just cant stand scary films, I hate them, too dam scary. I find the x files bad enough without watching some of these films your mentioning :)
