    Chemical release in the brain leads to excessive consumption shocker.

    What did I do wrong?

    Passed on the gene for irresponsibility.

    Whether you get your kicks from food, alcohol, drugs, sex, money, buying shit…it’s always going to go tits up when you lose balance and do it too much.

    Maybe go back to treating the trait that is greed as a weakness rather than a disease?

    Here goes…

    IMO the overall point of the video is a legitimate one. The video finishes with a basic (simplistic perhaps) fact.

    It doesn’t make me angry I only put it on here because I felt some might find the set the dogs on them comment quite amusing.

    I think when the ‘activists’ got on their stage they failed to deliver the hit. That should have had more impact. Maybe they were star-struck..?

    That was me 🙂

    Mod altering of post and topic titles which could only possibly offend a person of the type to be constantly on the look out for offence make me sad.

    My internet is dying.

    wrecker – I’d put my opinion but I fear although completely unoffensive it may be altered. Sad really.

    dd I’m not angry. That’s the mods interpretation. They wrote it and a bit of my first post.

    What’s happened to this place?!

    Haha, this is cool. STW Butan style.

    I didn’t call the topic that. I named it something else but it would appear that using the word that the verrrr well to do chappie in the video used warrants not only a title change but a post edit too.

    Yeah better mods but they do talk of setting dogs on them so…

    Wow, the STW mods are really polishing hard at the moment.

    I apologise for lowering the tone. Oh the ironing.

    Also STW mod title changerer This doesn’t make me very angry. More mildly entertained and heartened that this kind of thing can happen.

    Next thing he’ll probably get a big pay off because he can’t return to do his job effectively.

    Is there anybody reading this thread who thinks he should not be held accountable in any way at all for his actions? Shouldn’t even be tried for assault? Then again if pathologists have already said his death was definitely as a result of being hit in the back by the cop I suppose that’s not an option. Not guilty must have been returned on the basis the jury thought it was a reasonable action to take.

    I feel sorry for the good cop reading things like this. Bullies like this tool in uniform must make the job more difficult than the crims sometimes.

    Either way, scary shit. A lot of us know someone who’s in the police who definitely shouldn’t be. Just a bit shocking when something so obvious like this happens and is caught on video then seemingly there’s no consequences.

    That was a shining example of paying too much attention to the rule book and not the person.

    Familiar story.

    They couldn’t even fully concede they handled the situation poorly.

    Rules are rules, computer says no.

    You live and learn.

    People need to be content in life and accept that there will only be moments of happiness, some long, some short. Being content is far more important. Taken me about 12 years to learn this.

    I’ve had jobs that have had no possibility for progression so when I couldn’t structure a career I tended to buy stuff every week to reward myself for going to work. Weekly cycle of boredom. Living for the weekend.

    Then had a near death experience, a fairly long stay in hospital. Cried when I came home and watched the finches we have preening each other. Amazing what I was blind to when rewarding myself with bike bits, car bits, gadgets and other shit that soon becomes obsolete.

    Now I’m content to be able to walk my dogs, shred some stoke and don’t pay too much attention to the things society used to make me feel like I should be doing. No point in worrying about what might happen.

    etc

    Well, she’s either sat rocking in the middle of that roundabout fogging up her visor with tears of despair or she’s out in the sun seeing how many tanks of petrol she can use learning how to back in the Habana :mrgreen:

    I remember that day and passing my full license, what a buzz.

    I wish someone had taught me to ‘enjoy’ nerves and make me see failure could be remedied and wasn’t life and death when I was a kid and look forward to the rewards.

    Nerves are good. Use em to focus.

    Cheers guy’s supposed to be going away with it next week.

    Yeah that’s the vid I’d seen. Didn’t pay it much attention because I thought I was watching the wrong thing. I’ll give it a go. Chain whip’s grown legs tho so can’t do it before I go really.

    Will it be ok for a few more rides without killing me to death? Only steady XC stuff, no sickgnar.

    Sure I read someone’s comment that they had been riding on a quiet one for 3 years?!

    Anyone else watch that thinking of a Rob Warner course preview ride?

    Yeah and maybe him off Peep Show.

    Funny that.

    Setting off from the far end of Cragg quarry onto nice little trail with a few kickers down to Lee quarry and doing the red around the outside of Lee Quarry and the usual way down to the car park is a decent long (ish) run.

    I’ll be doing it tomorrow.

    Not strictly downhill, bit of uphill in the middle. Fun though.

    Going to say that though aren’t they.

    You’d have to have 2 accidents that were exactly the same whilst wearing 2 different brands to disprove it, impossible in other words.

    Each to their own. I won’t tell anyone how to spend their money. Crack on.

    EDIT

    When you’ve had two trauma consultants look at your helmet then turn to you and say ‘probably saved your life’ you tend to develop a more pragmatic view of things.

    I have actually had this but for leathers not a helmet.

    billysugger

    They cover more of the head at the back anyway

    Same coverage as the feature I’d have said. But uglier.

    Then again t’is only a helmet for riding a bicycle.

    What price can you put on your head?

    I see this a lot and it makes me chuckle.

    I will make you one with 20 vents thats 2 grams lighter for £250?

    Bought a Giro Feature after looking at Trabecs. Thought the Trabecs looked silly from behind and

    Screams try hard and all the gear

    Feature is good but Trabec may be £80 better. I (like most people who offer opinions on this forum) haven’t tried many other alternatives. Feature felt light and as if I wasn’t wearing one but then I’ve just come from an £8 pisspot so…

    If you go for a Trabec I found Descent-Gear to be competitve on price. Wazzed all over CRC/Wiggle etc

    You need 2 bikes.

    Motorway bike meh, anything sterile, BMW maybe.

    Then for fun I can’t recommend one of these enough:

    I put 20k on an 03 Mille and the smiles per mile didn’t come close (Not in this country anyway)

    Yeah, is it on somewhere that the adverts don’t show people abusing cars for no real reason?

    Just watching my first ever TDF stage. Couple of things:

    1. Does anyone else find Carlton Kirby’s humour as amusing as Carlton Kirby and does he actually know any other languages or is he just winging the translations? I’ve had to suffer this guy for too many ‘Dakar’ rallies, IRC rallies etc. He’s a fool.

    2. Does that advert actually make people buy Skodas? Is there a car that will crumble if one of your passengers is a big enough nobber to smash their door open into a wall/ if you throw a drinks bottle at it.

    Other than that, scenery’s nice.

    He’s rude.

    I can tell from here.

    billysugger

    Yeah he’s a bit slow over a stage. Get’s beaten by Super2000 drivers now and then, which must be embarrassing but fair play to him he brings publicity to WRC and the FIA are doing all they can to neglect the championship to death.

    How does a person embed a vid on this site nowadays?

    Has something changed?

    The sound is the best bit for me. The echo off the buildings makes this stand out and that first corner. I bet they shot that one last in case his talent ran out.

    Maybe a few too many angles at times.

    Maybe a bit more pinkbike than STW.
