thanks that’s brilliant! Actual work is not strenuous. Commute tires legs. walking , going up loads of stairs etc.MTFU’d tonight and legs feel better now after a cold shower. Legs always feel stiff going up train station stairs. Good to know this is a temporary phase and will lessen during a ride. RICE sounds ace too. MTFU too. Will have a think about these with this advice.

Cheers all That’s brilliant!

Was a bit worried if I MTFU’d too much they would seize.

really sorry to hear this. 🙁

swimming may be considered low intensity but it provides lots of resistance so not only are you using energy to move but also working lots of muscle groups too, which need fuel to recover. This process has a longer effect on the metabalism. Because it is using such a variety of muscle groups it is probably a good fat burner too in the same way weight training is. Circuit training is the same in the that it is using muscle groups but also different as it occurs at a higher intensity.Although I doubt circuit training is more effective than weight training in fat burning as although the heart rate is increased and more movement actually occurs (through higher reps) purely lifting weights tends to be more intense for shorter periods with less movements. ie you may lift heavier weights with shorter reps so less movement occuring but higher muscle recovery effect on the metabalism as a result of more muscle recovery required post training. Could it be possible that the body get’s used to one type of excercise quite quickly and then becomes more efficient and thus one single method i.e. higher intensity or low intensity is not the answer. The answer may be to chop and change to keep stimaulting fat burning in the body. So both 😆 IMHO of course.

carving on a snowboard feels similar to riding a succession of berms and i like berms.

cheers.

awesome band underated band – recorded in mono only.

i’ve successfully mounted the switch on the chinstrap of my pisspot at the side vent ofmy xc helmet. using a thin shoe string and curley wire that wraps around the strap. button is on the bottom.

thanks guys that’s great. Side of helmet sounds good, although I may need to add some velcro to my pisspots due to lack of holes. I think the ideal position allowing for helmet type swaps for a helmet mounted switch and my inch long barrel shapped switch push button switch, would be to attached it to the actual helmet strap somehow, running from ear to top of head, with switch at top.mmm

although i agree with the OP I also think the a major factor with gymming it is the frequency of the excercise, not just the intensity.Regular training is much better as you will keep you’re metabalism burning, which has an accumtave effect after after the excercise too. Also if you eat well you may in fact get heavier too, as muscle is heavy and muscle mass may increase. Again this helps burning more calories too, even after the actual workout. The best guide to how you are doing is measurements, or how your clothes fit.

thanks jamie

i think full facers look great with googles. i think i look odd in xc ones and pisspot’s but who really cares.

jedi yhm

jedi whats the stroke length?

1999 sunn purchased in 2000. ride it as xc bike still.

i’m pretty skilless at the local skatepark’s but have always found them friendly places.

i ride bmx. Recently i’ve been loving bmx tracks which have been nice and firm lately. I also have an old hack bmx for local shopping trips.I’ve had some fun at the skatepark too. 😆

Respect! That stuff is seriously impressive and i am sure really difficult to learn. Looks like a great set up! Your be at the burning man next!
Long live raves and the freedom for personal expression through art!!

had a car hooting at me the other day because i was on the road and he could not go straight past.

bangles are cool 8)

Enjoying it.

seems to be M15

a peugeot atb bike in the 80/90’s. loved it at the time though. 24 inch wheels.

Thanks.

thanks.

anyone?

cromo, 80mm forks, 1.8 tyres, skinny bars,gripshift,04 brakes here 😆

lovely.

went out last week. loved it. set off whilst sunny and rode and returned in the dark 😆 just got in from an urban ride, so not a proper nightride = something so special about riding in the dark.

i liked my vans rowley xt’s ( very light weight) and like my emericas which have lasted well.

i like gangstarr, public enemy and silver bullet… ‘Bring forth the gullitene’!

or probably too low. still sounded ace.

how huge are they when expanded? need a bigger bag,. my rucksack is too small for goods and locks.how to does the messenger bag compare to most large messengers bags in terms of size and strapping to the rider with lots in? cheers.

edit – think it will too small for locks and gear.

used to see concorde all the time as a kid but it must of been too slow around here for the ‘boom’

looks nice. just need’s chain stay guard.

send them back. surley this play will only get worst.and what if you jump a little. cannot be good having play at full extension.

lol.
