Does this mean snowboarding is a crime as well??

:tongue:
The difference between successful people from others is
not in the lack of strength,
not in the lack of knowledge,
but rather in the lack of will.

That is one narrow skateboard (new in-line skateboarding) That would take some skill to ride. Hero, can you post us some pics of you riding one of these? I think I have some old trucks and wheels lying around, maybe I'll make myself one (and then break my arse trying it out).

Nothing wrong with snowboarding or surfing, i just dislike skateboards.

Hey guys? something for you to try......

For this you will need:
1 Mountain bike or bmx.
1 Partially inasane rider.
2 reasonably good torches/flashlights.
Required amount of fresh batteries for lights.
1 Roll of strong tape.
Optional can of Red Bull.
Also....
Thick clothing is advised.
Consider some kind of safety gear.[Race helmet ideally]
Take a mobile phone.

In the event of your death these items will mean nothing, but just in case you only wound yourself you should take them. :thumbright:

Now, put the batteries in the torches, tape the torches to the front of your bike, neck the Red Bull, get on your bike and go to a good trail or wooded area in the dark of night. This makes for the most insane ride ever! :king:

Shes not joking either, we tried this together and it was scary as hell but so much fun i couldnt stop , we ended up staying til 3am and the only reason we left at 3 is cos i broke my bike.

>>ADVICE<<
Do not strap the camera or light to the frame, make sure you have it on your bars or stem\headset because if you dont you will find when you make a turn your light does not turn with you and corners become very dangerous.
With that said, camera sounds cool - have fun!

GT Aggressor......nice bike, unlike mine you keep it clean and shiny. it looks new how old is it?

Im gonna tell u how to mod and improve this bike with minimal costs and maximum effect, not that it needs it of course i jus wanna offer a helping hand should you want to beef it up a little.

Always begin with small stuff, Start by getting some shiny metal Dustcaps Image then some Lizard skins Image and a load of graphics/stickers Image and some Leeches. Image put the skins and graphics where u like but dont leave any plain spots on the bike and since ur bike is yellow and red u should try not to use colors other than red, black and yellow, make sure u spread them out evenly, and use the skins to protect things as well as pretty the bike up [theyre good for keeping dirt/grit out of joints and moving parts]. the leeches in case u didnt know are black circle stickers of rubbery plastic type material, put on the frame where the brake cables are touching the frame to prevent the paint being worn off by moving cables and bare metal patches apperaing on ur bike.

Then u wanna go for small performance type upgrades, things that will improve ur handling, grip and stability.
Start with Grips [handlebar grips] ones with screw in plugs for the ends of ur bars are ideal,
Image
a quick release seat clamp if ur bike doesnt hav one already, metal platform pedals so ur feet never slip off and good Tyres - although tyres can b very expensive, the rest of these items are not.
these may seem like small changes but when u stand back and look at it as a whole its a huge difference, the thing i like most about this is that i know no-one has the same bike as me it is special, unique and its mine.
WTF! Thief! :cat:
