A!!

What ever happened to the gold pedals, it was you that had some gold pedals on wasn't it? Either way though, 'tis looking rather swish. It's very simple and clean looking, especially without the stickers

Finally bit the bullet and got another Linky

Three 6 mafia-poppin' my collar. Proper killer tune Three 6 Mafia

Damn right, Adios where it's at, or Emerica are good too. I used to have some DVS shoes, and like you say the soles were really hard, and it made them feel clumpy. Currently for riding: Emerica crass (these are proper tatty due to brakeless bmx , but o so comfy ) And for casual: Adio wray v4 in white (not the best decision for winter but meh) I think i might buy some loteks soon as well, as their shoes look pretty nice and seem durable.

omfg, thats so wrong in nearly every way possible. And the worst part is, by the top body builders using them, younger ones are following in their footsteps, and no doubt will end up pumping them selfs full of the stuff.

Yeah thats is what i noticed when i got mine. It helped my wrists with bmxing as well, as i no longer get fatigue in them. You can do different exercises with them to work on the different muscles, like try hold it in your fingertips to improve finger and grip strength, or tip the ball upwards and curl your arm, then rotate it anti-clockwise to work the bicep. All the exercises that can be done with them are here: Powerball

That would depend on if my parents have/are getting me a new seat for christmas, which i think they are. And if they do then maybe yeah, obviously for a small sum

Right i have two videos. First off a trailer for the new Etnies Grounded dvd thats coming out: etnies video blog. Be warned there is hardly any riding, nor is it very long. Basically it's a pretty crap trailer, but meh some might want to see it. And second, heres the animal roadtrip video, very short at just under 8mins. But i haven't watched it yet so i don't know what it's like:

That was really good, i liked it. And that manual across the rail at the end was 'kin smooth.

Madvillain-Accordion If you haven't heard any of their songs, make sure you do: madvillain

Hahahaha, thats great. I think it actually looks really good. You sir, deserve a thumbs up for the effort and time put into doing that

Someone has there birthday very close to christmas. Happy birthday :wizard: (nearest i could find to a birthday/party smiley)

I should hopefully be getting a smaller seat for christmas, the snake skin odyssey one as cyclesport had some left. The main reason i want one is because my current seat (s&m hot seat) is pretty big, when i have it low i bash my heels on it. So hopefully with the new one this won't happen. Anyway, slight update. I have decided to put some pegs back on, but i didn't want to run large ones and nor did i want to buy some superstar micro pegs. So I have shortened them down, it does make it slightly harder when i'm stalling or grinding higher objects, but i just have to be more accurate. Phone pics ***

I've always wondered what they would do if your caught brakeless on a bmx, as i run brakeless. But as the the community support officers are usually in the town centre i just ride the spots on the outside. The thing is though, if i was caught i don't know what they could do, as it doesn't have any brake mounts to put a standard u-brake on it. You can only fit a really strange type of one on, as there is a hole in the wishbone piece between the two stays. So you need to have a brake like this with a single bolt mount. Needless to say i don't own one. But generally the ones round here are pretty stupid and most are on an ego/power trip. There was a chase a few months ago in the town centre for a guy that was stopped for riding along on the pavement slowly with his mates, and they stopped him and tried to fine him. But as he is pretty poor/refused to pay, he just beasted it off resulting in a three car chase and a few of them chasing him on foot. And in an attempt to try and stop the community support officers from getting him, his mate pushed one of them over.

This should be the one your looking for, just scroll down to find the youtube link that was posted Before and after thread

Is it this one you on about, if it is it looks mighty fine. Fly seem to be coming out with a lot of products which seem to be getting more and more like trials bike stuff like the bashplate, low slung frame, drilled rims. But i guess it's not a bad thing, as they all have their uses.

I remember the for sale thread that joe made with that dvd in, it was so funny, that was sticky worthy. But i guess desperate times call for desperate measures. Wasn't it a cheerleaders one or something?

I wasn't on about packing yourself full of protein. But having things like that in the morning instead of cereals full of sugars, or after a bit of exercise plus other more high protein content foods, is what i meant hence i said quaker oats and the likes. Edit: instead of posting again i will put it in here. Future orange 660, i can see where you are coming from as the way i worded that sentence sounded like i meant using them as a pure form of protein, but what i was trying to get at but didn't explain, was having them in order to replace bad carbs for good carbs (which you were right when you said they are carbs), then plus all the high protein foods that are needed.

Haha no, can't say i am. But back to the steroid stuff. Personally i wouldn't go near them. All you need is the right diet, aim yourself targets for what you want your training to do (set the sets and reps based on this), set yourself times to do it so you get yourself motivated. And after a good workout eat something that is high in protein, and will replenish the energy you lost, such as quaker oats and the likes. And when you are doing the programme, always try to go that little rep further, and try push yourself even more then you usually would, in order to get the best from your training (obviously don't go silly with it).

Yeah i could do with some more, as it's getting a pain in the arse having to swap weights around constantly. But meh, they will do till i can afford something like that. I think for trials it's more of a happy medium you have to have, between out and out power, and stamina. Which is what i try to aim for when i'm training, as i don't want lots of muscle mass but nor to i want too little. But my diet is very poor, and i don't even take multivitamins anymore (which is what i used to do), so i think i need to sort it out. Anyway to add to the gallery of big guns going down

I got mine from argos for cheap, they are the york ones (i think its concrete in them). The set i got came with two dumbbell bars and one barbell, then with a set of weights. The only slight problem is that i have to change the weights around a lot as it didn't come with many, so for example when i do free weight bench press i have to take all the weights off the dumbbells, then put them on the barbell. It's these that i have got Argos. I try to do them quite often, and as it is winter now i have more time to as i'm not always on the bike. But like it has been said, lots of muscle mass isn't what is needed for trials, it's a fast twitch muscle fibre that is needed (i think). But i found it is helping me a bit with bmx stuff. I also have a programme that i do at school for gcse p.e, which mainly involves the machines like calf raises, lateral pull downs, and bench press.

Yeah fair enough it might be shit to you (and me for that matter), but just in the same way trials might be to other people, as i was only giving an example of a fairly unknown sport, regardless of how shit it is. It's just the fact that a guy found a video, and one of which he is really impressed with and may just want to know a little more about it. And then he decides to post the video on here, resulting in him getting it ripped out of him.

You got it in one. I was trying it on a few well known sites to see if many people use it (not porn), but all to no avail. So i guess it will only work with forums as people can post up, making people on the forum use it.

I was going to say something on the lines of that, but didn't to avoid a grilling. But yeah, give the guy a chance, i'm sure if one of you took up unicycling for example you wouldn't know many big names, nor recognize them in a video.

Hmm, i guess there will be few people that won't have them up yet, as it is fairly early, and many people don't put them up until it is 12 days till christmas. It's always my mum that does all the christmas decorations, and the two trees. If it was down to anyone else in my family i doubt we would have any. Here's our second smaller tree Anyway keep those trees coming
