There are 9 and 10mm axles. The 1mm is the thread pitch I think.

Did some fake tricks today. Big boy hips were occupied by little boys doing scooter flyouts. Got asked if I could do "deckspins" which turned out to be what they call whips now. Meh.


Flatbank turnback


Fake table


Fake turndown


Fake x-up


Fake cancan


Fake barsbackwards turndown confusing thing.


I can't actually do these but I can nearly do these. Foot needs to stay on.

Not unless you can get oil back down to $60 a barrel and all other raw materials to follow suit...

I'll try my best.

I have seen the equipment used. I have had senior staff at the factory slag off their own "basic" assembly machines and then 2 minutes later asked them which machines make our 20" tyres and have them look sheepish and explain that it WAS the "basic" machines he just slagged off. (thankfully this has changed now and there are 20" versions of the "super duper" machines and it is these that have made OUR tyres for the last several years (3 or 4) and the quality has gone up and the QC rejection rate down as a result).

Can we go back to the basic machines and £11.50 tires please?

Rock and roll would be translated from the skateboarding as a sprocket to 180 back in.  If you rolled up and landed on your sprocket, then went fakie and did the revert.........  sprocket chunk to revert?

Can't wait for the shit talking replies...haha.  But I just watched the Russell Wadlin pedal grind naming video and it has my mind working on overdrive on the trick name front.  But the important thing here is that you were happy.  And that heart warming bull shit is what it is all about!!

I'm thinking he went rock 180 to disaster to 180 in.

I've forgot tables so now I'm left with nothing again. Except turndowns but they don't count.

I went on Myspace the other day and realised that the last riding photo I had was before people stopped using Myspace what, 4 years ago? At least?

It's drain/sink unblocker, should be in any supermarket. I got a tub to do pretty much and entire bikes worth of parts for £2.

Dilute caustic soda crystals should get it off. Dunno who this is, but like this. Rinse it pretty good after.
