  1. Imagine if all medicine were like that. At the end of your life you'd be cluttered up with tools. Then again new branches of medicine would sprout, specializing in removing what the doctors left behind in their patients.
  2. Topic made me giggle. Bad luck man, new frame time.
  3. Absolutely love it. It'll be interesting to see how long this frame lasts with your riding.
  4. Sorry, I couldn't resist.
  5. There's serious tension between Echo and Zhi. Then again Zhi doesn't seem to take European dealers too seriously which you will notice once/if you get a shipment from them. The problem with Zhi is that their components are mostly re-branded OEM products which Echo developed in the past. Ever since Echo started making parts in their own back yard, Zhi cannot just go and buy the same product and put their logo on. I personally have a low regard for Zhi, even their own designs like frames aren't well thought out, with numerous issues a rider might encounter when building the bike up. Having seen what Echo is now doing in China, I'm pretty sure that their main goal is put Zhi out of business by taking over the whole trials market (which Zhi had a very big share in up until recently). Frankly, I'm not surprised and at the end of the day, the average trials rider will benefit from this most of all.
  6. Are you sure it's your heart? Made me laugh though
  7. Women can multitask. Something doesn't add up here. But in all seriousness such statements (about exams being the key thing at the moment) piss me off so much. It effectively means that she cannot be bothered to manage her time properly. Emotions aren't something you can put away because you have to study. It makes girls sound so cold. Anyway, I wouldn't worry man. Just carry on dating her.
  8. That. Was boring but I'd never miss a chance to watch Lee ride. Looks like Echo is a fairly popular brand in China.
  9. Very good vid in every way
  10. I was going to bash it because re-editing videos is gay but that was really good. Apart from Damon's clips which looked like they were filmed using a bar of soap.
  11. I can't be too constructive but that sidehop towards the end was pretty sick. There, that probably made a bunch of people watch the whole thing right to the end. No need to thank me.
  12. Greetings

    Spring 2011

    I really enjoyed that. Had an oldschool touch to it.
  13. It's painful to watch a normal guy hurt himself. But once you realise that he's not normal, it's actually fun
  14. One of the most explosive riders I've ever seen.
  15. You know you're getting old when 1:26 pisses you off. Other than that, I quite enjoyed it. Get an HD cam, they're not expensive.
  16. That's my experience with the "new" Cousts too. Back in 2006 I bought a pair of Coustsinks from Steve and they were by far the best pads I'd ever used. They were completely flawless in every way, loads of bite and loads of hold in all conditions. One just stopped caring about whether it was soaking wet outside or not because the difference in pefrormance was marginal. However, the "newer" Coust just have lots of bite and no hold. Despite what Michael C. says, I'm pretty sure something has changed in the compound.
  17. Looks a bit like NetSky from XP times?
  18. Because little arguments are not worth arguing about. As soon as both sides realise that, they have a massive argument. Fact. edit: That. Don't focus on trying to make her feel good with you, just spend time together like you have so far and act natural without having the goal you're trying to accomplish in mind. Sooner or later she'll stop caring about her ex and start caring about you. It's all a matter of time, there's nothing you can say or do that will suddenly make her forget. Take it easy. Oh and don't get too involved, not until she gets over her ex.
  19. Can't go wrong with what Adam pointed out. I learned to gap properly by watching TRA's August 18 video he released years ago. It's not online anywhere so I can't post it. Anyway, you've been told to pinch gap. Be sure to compress the tyre completely on the edge of the obstacle before you take off. You also need to change your timing from kicking the pedal and jumping to beginning the jump and then kicking the pedal. It's what makes it possible to get so much speed.
  20. I'm very interested. Hope you don't forget to update
  21. There hasn't been an outbreak of crap and nonesense since NMC disappeared. On that basis I think it's working well so far.
  22. What do you suggest he does with them? Loved the video. Riding might not have been huge but the editing, camera work, music and surroudings more than made up for it.
