I’m 31 and still actively skate and I am a dad so I evidently fall into the emo dad pile especially when you chuck in skin tight black jeans, cut off denim jacket covered in turbo negro patches and old maiden t shirts.

I wear skate shoes.
Vans
Emerica
Lakai
NikeSB
Adidas skate
Fallen
etc…

@ ranger… thats a lovely stick you have there…! I had a salomon prospect which was similar to the official.

@ edukator.. seems you need educating about japanese powder, makes euro powder look particularly lame fat skis essential ;)

+1 for Glen Coe and Nevis range… no money to go anywhere abroad.

re: all the tech. just get yourself an nice normal cambered board, I have been riding since 1994 and the reverse camber thing isn’t new. TBT as mentioned is pretty good i reckon but best used in conjunction with normal camber.

the best application of reverse camber is in freestyle boards specifally rails. half pipe and kicker is still best ridden on a norml cambered board.

Signal OG would be my choice for general mountain bit of everything deck.

K2 slayblade is also very nice, salomon have a whole range of boards as do artec, DWD, Ride, YES, Endeavour, weekend, Lobster, APO, LIB, etc….

Bindings…. BUY UNION! the force model are really nice.

Everyone pretty much makes nice boots but i like slaomon and 32 cos they fit best. all about the fit when it comes to boots…

most of all! Have fun ;)

yeah i get it too…

NEED. to go with all my other Legos!!! got a mini starwars theme going on at work.

for wearing or asphixiwanking?

The ‘Ashes’ is the worst trophy. Tatty tiny little thing.

that makes it the best IMO.

good new mrs toast!

wwaswas – if they’re doing that surely blocking the obstacle isn’t the best way to see how people do it?

Had a really nice day at cannock yesterday getting there good and early seems to be the key, hardly met anyone all the way round.

did meet some guy with his kid who could have only been about 4 or 5 that was doing really well. top parenting there!

How are people meant to get good enough unless they try and ride the trails?

The bottle neck areas like the werewolf drop (small ramp consisting of about 5 stones) could they not just build a ‘ride around’ so people can avoid it? they have in other areas?

people standing on the exits and entrances to the singletrack (often where it meets fire road) can be a pain in the arse.

I let people past and other people let me past sometimes…

so it goes frame, device, 1×2.5mm spacer,BB cup,then the cranks… edit.

The 1.X arm should be oriented so the knurled texture around the bottom bracket hole contacts the frame.
instructions online

mine is next to my frame and replaced 1 spacer on a 68mm BB shell.

so it goes frame, device, 1×2.5mm spacer,then the cranks.. works fine.

10 year old landies aren’t £1400 they’re more like £5000+

Brown Sugar. I love to leap around to songs about heroin..!

all the best songs are about skag it seems.

I am quite heavily dyslexic, I re-read my posts at least 3 times before hitting send just to see if they make sense, words leave the pages of books before my very eyes, I have been called a mong/spaz/Joey by classmates all my juniour years. never bothered me because A. I was bigger than most of them and B. as i got more help than them, my education was far better. I now hold down a decent Job.

Although my experience was not a bad one its not really acceptable, not in teh public domain, between mates down teh pub or whatever that is as it is between mates.

How many of you call your mates bent or gay when they won’t comne out to ride?

I used to have a buffalo special 6 but also got way too hot..

I now use a Montane Prism jacket for actively cold stuff, very small amount in insualtion and a Montane flux jacket for stops/belay.

I also use this system for winter climbing.

just use the kyle straits… i wear mine for pretty much everything unless I’m out riding in the local park with the good lady.

Anyone suggested a jack? great little dogs mine is 13 and still going strong…

although personally the next dog I get will be a rescue pup and a broader mix of breeds as possible i would like a labcockrusselweiler. ;)

I don’t think its the same as quality german bike manufacturer ‘canyon’

still looks the business though, I have seen other canyon products in most low end bike shops.

Fair enough… personally I’d let the writing go. stuff like that doesn’t bothr me.

self amalgamating tape? sticks to itself not the bike too so no nasty residue!

crank arms though… ?

electric tooth brush! my nephew would have tantrums about cleaning his teeth until he stopped at ours for the weekend and I brushed his teeth with a ‘lectric toofbrush’ and so bought him a cheap one and he now loves cleaning his teef.

I’m of Jewish origins… so sort of white, definitley not a christian or religious in any form, but I am straight(ish) as a skateboarder and an avid metal head I do wear tight jeans and denim jackets. ;)

great little cars. the arosa will come in slightly cheaper but they’re no worse.

I wouldn’t say I love my job, but its definitley not the worst one I have had so far…

+1 ha ha…

I really never got on with FF…. really surprised so many chrome haters, We’ve started publishing it as an app fro use with terminal server and citrix works infinitely better.

gone now…. :( didn’t really need it, and the sale paid for another bike.

use chrome FF is shit.

I saw a stag at cannock yesterday at the view point atop the monkey…. impressive aren’t they.

Yep spent last week on the west coast…. pretty minging!

I think if I didn’t ride, skate, climb, etc.. I’d be a right old fatty!

I ride twice a week, skateboard at least twice a week, also keep my hand in down at the climbing wall for summer high-mountain trips a few times a month, get out walking with the family as often as is possible.

I like eating and I like doing stuff so it works out pretty well for me.

yeah propedal needs to be off… I’m a little bit lighter (12.5) than you and run 160.

they are ugly but like someone said this just adds to their overall handsomness *sp*,

staffies are ace too shame about the rep.

I lost my rotty 5 months ago people gave him a wide birth, but there was no need, he was so soppy and gentle, great with really small children, super friendly and just generally amazing. miss him loads! My Jack Russel is way more of a handful!

definitely a case of nurture not nature i reckon.

Shook myself to bits on my newly built up hardtail on Sunday…. so much fun!

cheers klunk… I’ll get one of them… ooooh pink! is all i heard when she googled that.

She was looking at something that looked like a gym seat saddle earlier!

one footed nose grind down a handrail… WTF Koston for the win.

yeah stay away from HTFR they’re total douche bags.
