Odd. I was thinking the same. A Vinco signature Penny Farthing? What's with Koxx and all their new horrible colours? The mix of that design and that colour is best described as "disgusting."

I've searched on the forum and on Google but can't seem to find anything definative about this... If you're mounting a HS33 onto V mounts using the EvoII "booster" can you still fit a 4-Bolt booster over the top? Or maybe leave out the EvoII mount and just put in the 4-bolt booster? For example, if I put a HS33 onto a frame with V mounts could I still use something like the Heatsink 4-bolt booster over it? With the provided bolts and spacers? Either with or without the EvoII aid? Any ideas and/or experiences would be great. Thanks.

I believe the correct terminology is "Hooligan." Both involve knocking balls about and end in disappointment.

So if I go and give someone a good kick in the face and say, "Well, you might not condone it. But you can see why I did it, can't you?" You think they'll let it fly? Whichever way you look at that it's Assault.

Nope. The Koxx looks like Barbie merchandise. But if I was still riding BMX (ie. too small for a real bike) I wouldn't mind the Monty.

In my experience ignoring people will make them get physical quicker... people tend to take offence if you don't listen to them and they'll already be angry. I used to just say, "Fair enough." Then leave. Then I got ballsy and tried the tactic of squaring up to them to shake their confidence. Nine times out of ten it would work. The other odd time you have to decide whether it's worth losing teeth over trying to make a gap you can come back to another day. I would suggest, if you don't want your head kicked in, you don't ignore them. Just keep the peace, leave and come back another day.

I don't know what frame you mean. But if it's made by Onza it'll probably be available at Super Cycles

He didn't moderate his intake... smoked like a true fiend.

I do. As I said, my Uncle was on the wacky baccy and had induced schizophrenia from it. It totally f**ked his life up. I'll give a few examples of stuff he was saying once it took effect... 1. One day while he was working in Chatham Dockyards. Prince Charles visited and asked my Uncle for a chip. My Uncle replied, "f**k off and get your own." (Prince Charles never really turned up). 2. He rang my house one day asking for me and my Dad to go and help him dig up Dick Turpin's treasure because he new its location. 3. He claimed my Great-Nan was a Lesbian and my Great-Grandad was a paedophile. 4. He dressed up for 2004 Comic Relief in an England flag, black face paint with weapons in his pockets, hiding under trees because people were after him. 5. Again, while he was working at the dockyards he designed a stealth submarine which didn't need motors. Instead the sailors would all sit down and scoot in their seats to propel the sub. 6. Just before the Thunderbirds movie got made he claimed he was producing it and offered most of my family parts in it. 7. Before the condition got bad he was working as a CCTV installer at the Houses of Parliament and kept telling people that worked there that he was hatching a plan to blow the building up and was going to get away in a James Bond-esque boat chase along the Thames. In other words, it sent him off his rocker. There was plenty more he said but those are most of the really far fetched things he came out with. And he was like this for 2-3 years before doctors would finally allow him to be commited. Weed is just as capable of wrecking lives as any "hard" drug. My Uncle is living proof.

Avenged Sevenfold - Bat Country Coheed & Cambria - The Suffering Chino XL - Ghetto Vampire (back from '96 but still probably the best song ever written).

The drug scene seems to be mostly immature people deciding they'll experiment by taking substances they know nothing about. My uncle was a weed smoker and eventually was commited to a mental ward for drug-induced schitzophrenia. He dressed up for comic relief in an England flag, painted his face black running around with weapons saying people are out to get him. He even claimed to know where Dick Turpin's treasure was! People who shoot up are the scurge of the planet. There's nothing worse than parking your car in a multi-storey car park and having to step over a few unconscious druggies with needles hanging out of them. Plus they have raised the crime rate around here - they mug people and shop lift to feed their habit. I personally would take great enjoyment watching them all be put infront of a firing wall. XTC users are plain idiots. You're warned about taking a drug because it dehydrates you and you won't realise. So the kids drink pints and pints of water. Now they're saying to kids that if they take it, to moderate their water intake because people are overdosing on water. I'm all for freedom to express yourself. But popping pills of which you don't know the content, smoking things which have been proven to induce mental disorders and injecting yourself with shite which does nothing for you is just plain stupid.

I'm pretty sure Trials-UK sell orange V!Z rim tape.

They can be. But the gearing isn't ideal. (atleast not on my old bike). Sweet video. The bridge part is pretty mad. Kind of makes me want to take my bike down the local town and shred up the druggies usual shooting up spot.

If, like me, you're just starting out I wouldn't bother. I can't imagine the weight difference will help any when all your jumping up is knee-high walls. Also, if you're learning you're more likely to be putting a lot of side-ways pressure onto the rim on landings which gives obvious implications. I can't see any justified reason for having it outside of high-ranked comp's other than showing off your coloured rim tape. (Of course, I don't have experience - therefore I'm not really qualified to make judgements on it. But I would have thought anyone that's studied GCSE Physics would be able to see the risk of damage isn't in proportion with the weight loss).

I had this trouble after my Windows box crashed... I just did a bit of an ugly bodge: On your host PC: Goto a command prompt and type in "ipconfig /all". Note down the IP address of the network interface, etc. On your laptop: Goto My Computer > Control Panel > Network And Dial-Up Connections. Right-click on the icon relating to your set up and select Properties. In the list box, select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)." (Don't tick/untick the box, just select the option). Hit the Properties button below that box which should bring up a new dialog. Hit the button that says Advanced at the bottom of that Window. Add a default gateway and use the IP of the Host you got from the command prompt. Click across to the DNS tab then enter the same IP as the DNS server. That should work as far as I remember. If not there is another way to do it through a command prompt on the laptop which I should be able to tell you about. In my opinion though, it's much easier to scrap Windows and run Linux EDIT: Make sure DHCP is enabled on the Host. (My Computer > Control Panel > Network And Dial-Up Connections; Right-click on network icon and select Properties... should say it in the listbox at the top.)

Should come up with a prompt to download them when you try accessing the game. Otherwise, go to Macromedia.

It's just my sense of humour (if you can call it that). And you only know where the line is once you cross it. EDIT: Sorry if I managed to offend anyone with that. Didn't really think that people would be that sensitive towards the subject. Although I don't see what I said being any worse than Smo's second comment (the one about buckets and gents).

If you bleach the tips first it'll turn green. My friend tried bleaching first despite her mum advising not to (her mum is a hair dresser). You can buy kits that are supposed to used to dye hair black with "cosmic blue" streaks. I would find one of them and use the blue to frost the tips.

Looks like the head of a Centaur to me... which is half Ram, so it's all the same.

Don't do screaming vocals - it'll wreck your voice box. My mate wanted to do solely screaming vocals until it got to a point where even short practices would leave his throat sore for days. Use melodic styles, even if you mix it in with screams. (Killswitch, Shadows fall, etc). But if you really want to do screaming, enunciate well (exagerate your mouth movements... open wider) and try tensing your neck, pulling your chin in and screaming while trying to drop your vocal tone ten octaves. (Like a teenager tries to deepen his voice for prank calls). Hope that helps in some way.

I personally don't see the point of them. I feel like I should be putting a "D" in the middle of the number plate on most cars that have these (Diplomatic plates). And they seem to be a ranking system for how bad of a driver someone is. 1 = bad, ... 4 = fanny. There is also nothing that is more annoying than driving down the road and having the kid in the back seat of the car in front wind down his window so the flag heads directly for your windscreen.

She had to go to A&E because she fell down a curb. So you're going to have her trying to learn trials? I personally don't see the logic in it. Buy a bike then use the money for the frame to invest in a helmet for her? (you'll still have change!)

Don't say anything to them... put your keys in your fists and punch them in the eyes. Works a charm. Best thing is, chavs look like they got dressed in the dark - after you hit them, they'll have an excuse for looking like dickheads.

They burnt down a £1m car wash and laughed... And Koenigsegg are letting them have that car back a second time. Maybe they need to keep the repair mechanics in the job because only a handful of people will actually be able to afford one?
