  1. Might sound daft, and I'm aware that he rapes me in every sense of the word, but I really don't rate his sidehop technique at all. Even with my scathing critique...he still sidehops massive
  2. As soon as I saw the video I knew the 2 weeks thing was bullshit. It's like the Matrix, nobody makes it the first time. or in this case..nobody controls the bike the first year
  3. Please don't pay anyone to build the wheel, it's really easy to do
  4. We're not going to agree, and I have assignments to do/exams to prepare for. p.s. I'm infallible
  5. Insane. I think you might rival Danny Mac in a few years IN FACT I've never seen him manual a car so YOU ARE ALREADY BETTER ¬_¬
  6. You say life under Sadam wasn't great, but what were the prospects for the country? Endless changing of hands from one dictator to another. Living in fear from the police. The police which used torture chambers to get confessions to basically anything they wanted you to say. Militia that handed out brutal punishment anywhere and everywhere, and I doubt very much that hospitals in iraq where handing out treatment to everyone that needed it, although I don't know that for a fact. The figure of over a million dead iraqs (I haven't checked that) isn't really a valid fact to rely upon for an argument. We don't know how any of them died, whether they would have died anyway, whether they were killed as the result of american/iraq action or even foreign fighters from neither nation. We also don't know what would have happened had Sadam died of natural causes; civil war? My point is in the long run we may have prevented deaths, and created a foundation on which a real functioning country can be built, instead of leaving a sinking ship to sink, we've scrapped it and built a new one in effect. I agree the the installation of a democracy hasn't exactly gone to plan, but I do believe that the intent was to have one. That's obviously more difficult to put in place than expected. I don't agree that we are 'fine' with dictators. I think what you are seeing is a relationship of necessity. I'm fairly certain that if Saudi Arabia, or any other dictatorship, was to push it, they would find themselves on the wrong end of an invasion. In fact I believe the only reason North Korea isn't balls deep in American/South Korean soldiers is there relationship with China. You claim I'm assuming things; but I would say it is you. I'm listening to real information which comes to me, fact. Where as I think your theories are essentially grounded in assumption of foul play. You don't 'know' therefore you assert your theory as if it is a truth. This comes into play when you basically just said that we don't live in a democracy, which is completely untrue. Again you don't 'know', but you claim companies are in charge. Sure they have an influence, maybe even a larger one than they should, but the bottom line is you vote how you want. The basic fact that if you want to you can run as a party candidate, become the leader, then win an election to become pm and appoint who you wish means that we are in a democracy. Also although this sentence 'The response is often reflexive rather than thoughtful and expressed in conventional rationalisations for imperialistic atrocity' would appear to to be an articulate sentence to a layman; I think it's typical of your tendency to write in a tedious and long winded style which achieves nothing more than to bore most people out of the discussion.
  7. The iraq invasion isn't really a conspiracy is it. I mean it is in the sense that they lied about nuclear weapons but the fact remains we removed a fairly awful dictator and have been attempting to install a democracy ever since. I personally don't think its an absurd idea that stable countries have a duty to make this kind of intervention in failed states like iraq. Obviously it's a drastic measure and the moral argument whether we should would probably go no further than concept, but there we are. Now that is completely different to something such as the Boston bombing, or 9/11. To say that a government like the US would allow or perpetrate an attack against its people, to me, is ludicrous. If for nothing other than the fear of being found out. All that said, if one day I am proved wrong...I will eat a pair of my underpants on camera.
  8. Have you ever heard the word concise? Because you're not knocking it out of the park at the moment. I notice a trend, people that believe in one conspiracy theory tend to believe in almost every conspiracy they come across. People that don't believe seem to not believe in any conspiracy. I am open to ideas; but on the whole the idea the Boston bombings were staged by the American government is a total joke. I'm adding it to the pile of other popular jokes 9/11, the moon landings. Conspiracy theorists live in a world where everything they see and hear is deception of some form. It's got to be tough for them
  9. In my opinion you're way too rigid...wayyyy too rigid. Forget the concept of days, forget specific exercises. Chest+triceps Back+biceps Rest Shoulders+legs Rest Do them in that order regardless of what day it is. Become familiar with the moves required for each day and do them in different orders but always giving high intensity. Make sure you include military press, bench press, deadlift, squat and barbell row as the foundation of your workouts.
  10. Yeah lol I wasn't saying I'd be as good as him! I was just meaning people in general would probably try a lot more if they knew the injuries weren't going to be life long
  11. I had no idea his injuries were as extensive as this video makes out. So annoying that injury limits us all. The things we'd all try if we could heal ligaments, cartiledge etc would be insane
  12. I find it so weird seeing people I don't know at the spots in Hull. Spent so much of my life at all of them its insane! Nice riding though g, always impressed with your ability to improve
  13. I think I'd struggle to get that down
  14. I THINK it's a 110x35 and the bars are just standard. Stacker wise it's got 2 10mm. Could probably do with changing the forks to lighten it and stackering it up the nostrils. I have some high risers to put on already, so we'll see what that does. I'm at the end of my 3rd year of uni now though so the next month NOTHING is likely to happen
  15. Yeah man it frustrates the hell out of me that I can't bunnyhop it very well. I'm going back to mod actually is how annoyed I am at it
  16. I found my zoot just isn't good for anything street, like I find it difficult just to bunnyhop the thing. But normal trials moves are some what of a breeze on it. Is that basically why you didn't like it?
  17. I know what you're saying! Soldiered on though. Some good stuff in there, always a sick rider. Starting to look old these days though
  18. This is ridiculous. You're getting arm pump because you haven't conditioned your body to last as long as you need to! Not because of weights. In fact when I started deadlifting it utterly destroyed my grip. Left me fumbling with my fly for ages desperately needing to urinate actually I suggest you give yourself the proper rest and stick with the weights
  19. What conceivable difference would that make? Like his facebook page if you want direct posts
  20. Wheelbase: 935mm Chainstay Length: 350mm BB Rise: 60mm Head Angle: 71 degrees Centre of BB shell to top centre of head tube: 560mm
  21. This might sound like a daft question. But has anyone adult sized ever had a go on one? I quite like the idea of having a 20" wheel on the back (tyre choice etc). I also like the way they seem to run a less ridiculous looking stem on, gives it a bmx sort of look. Basically in my mind I'm imagining a bmx with maguras on, that's not too bad on back wheel. I want opinions and I want hard facts
  22. Is it because I'm using chrome that it doesn't work? Because it still aint working. For some reason I seem to be really annoyed about it
  23. This really is incredible. What frame is he using?
