    how I spent my sunday afternoon (fish tank stuff)

    WOW. Great setup! I really like the variety of coral you have, any issues with compatability? I keep African Cichlids myself, haven't ventured into SW yet...soon though, fish already take up too much of my living room as it is

    bmw porn

    Maxxis makes High Rollers in 24", I cant remember if there are any others...Mobster maybe. Kenda makes Blue Grooves in 24" last time I checked, and this MAY incl the others in that series.

    What to do?

    I was in the same boat a few years ago...broke T-3&4. Hate to say it, but be as inactive as possible. Rest is obviously the best thing, but in terms of passing time, ps2 and reading anything I could find "worked" for me. The itch to ride wont go away, especially knowing that you cant at all...

    The Wildest Place in America:

    Look around Ennis/Bozeman MT...nothing is really "close" out there, but given the area and lack of other people, commutes, if you will, arent that bad. Not sure about land costs, but I can only imagine it being REALLY expensive around the Madison River due to the fishing.

    Strength of Boxxer lowers vs. 888 lowers?

    Friend of mine crashed in a pretty nast rock garden...He put a quarter-sized hole in the lower part of the Boxxer fork leg... Also managed to hairline crack the replacement, without a crash.I had a similar crash with 888, just a big scratch resulted. FWIW, his crash would have probably punctured...

    First Car?

    True, but driving on the street adds a few more (nonetheless important) elements such as blind corners, driveways, parked vehicles, traffic lights/signs etc., and the simple fact that there's cars intentionally travelling in multiple AND opposing directions and speeds, within a few feet of...

    Best Hangover Remedies?

    Yes. More times than I wish, though...theres a bar near me that opens at 6AM some mornings... 24+hours of drinking...with no sleep. not the best way to spend a weekend. cured by 9 hours of sleep, couple advil. Food was outta the question at that point.

    Do indoor bike parks actually make money?

    Right on. I live in Milwaukee, and the 4 seasons franchise is doing pretty well as far as I can tell...outside of any area thats cold and useless most of the year (midwest) i couldnt imagine trying to keep an indoor park open. out here though, they get pretty packed, even on weeknights...

    Front Brake or No Front Brake

    No front brake, unless you absolutely cant live without it. take a look at most BMX bikes...they dont even have bosses on the forks most of the time. its someting to get used to, but think of it as its one less thing to rely on when riding. Personally, for skateparks & street etc, i usually...

    Benefits of going to 24 from 26

    I went thru the same debate w/ my .243. as stated, 24's will be a bit more lively and flickable, per say, and it might be a bit easier to manual. I would, if budget permits, look into a regular 20." true it is "harsher", but in all honesty, ya get used to it pretty quickly, plus you end up...

    First BMX Suggestions

    if you;re looking for a larger frame, look into the "deuce deuce." i cant recall who makes it, but it is a reputable brand, and they just started producing it. ask any BMX shop and im sure they would know. 22" top tube, meant more for park/street riding, but something to consider nonetheless

    Dirtjumper 2 oil change

    very true above in regards to cleaning properly and the oil weights. however, one more lil tip, the oil HEIGHT is what is going to make the biggest difference in terms of progression/bottom out. i run my 888 w/ about 5mm more oil than the manual states, and have since not managed to bottom the...

    How to get a bike to whistler?

    Pack it as well as you can and when they inspect it, claim its an off road wheelchair. if its packed up really well, they wont ask any questions. thats what a friend of mine did, but iv only flown into Vancouver once, and it was without a bike, so im not sure what the regs are like
