It's like being on blind date! :)
Hello everyone, I thought it about time I registered and introduced myself.
After stalking the forum/museum with instincts of ageing BMX bandit , drooling over some of your builds I kindly ask you to accept me into your little community here :)
I'm a complete newbie at this BMX building lark, kinda fell in love with the new skyway 24" earlier this year and now finally it's on it's way. I notice there is an EXTREMELY SLICK one on here already ( although confused at where you discuss them as you don't pst on the actual thread??? SIMM planning n building that up over the coming weeks/months and hopefully sharing some ideas and maybe asking the odd bit of advice from some of you pros on here.
When I'm not at work full time, I'm with my family, my boy has just turned 4. Like I say... I'm from Nottingham, work Mansfield and play... Nowhere! Mind you I do have a few bikes... Carbon full sus Cannondale, giant hardtail, blank: Media 20" - so I do enjoy to get out on those!
Thanks for reading anyway guys, I look forward to getting to know a few of you.
Cheers

Welcome to Rad Mr H. ;)

Good evening Mr Hoops, look forward to seeing your builds on here! :daumenhoch:

Plenty of us ride still in the Nottz / Leicester / Derby / Sheffield / Doncaster area fella.
Look in the members events and get your name down - we're a bit strange and daft but have a great laugh so who cares......
Riding on saturday night if you fancy having a look? Leicester Boardroom at 9pm.....

Thanks Guys, I busy this sat mate, but yep! Im game... i saw what looked like some indoor park stylee... is that the 'boardroom?
-
haha Spen, just watched your mini alien avatar movie! Class!
-
Welcome aboard :daumenhoch:
-
Welcome in mate
You're very lucky to be up there, plenty going on and as Spen says the rad lock-ins are a great laugh with a sound bunch of lads
Although I'm over 100 miles away I still consider the boardroom to be my 'local' for that reason, terminal 1 in melton is bigger and a bit more scary and the new park coming very soon in nottz looks the bollux

I'm at a wedding this sat chaps, is it a weekly jaunt? What are we talking about, indoor ramp park? Are you guys bust 360" tailwhips mid air/mid life???? If so, I got to see this... As much as I'm up for it... I've never done it! XC Downhill on a Mtb at 35mph is about as exhilarating as it gets for Hoops! I'm game though! What could possibly go wrong? You guys can teach me a few tricks can't ya!? =\

we range from 'very good' to 'why bother' but most attitudes can be summed up by saying 'just good enough to know how bad we are'...
we have a get together ever other week usually at indoor parks in Melton/Leicester/Sheffield and soon Nottingham :) but theres a Halloween night this Sat and my Bday next ... also a few of us go to TRM1 in Melton Mowbray every Wednesday night
you will be very welcome(d) mate ... especially by small chap called Spen ... who loves new blood ... literally :daumenhoch:

Welcome to RAD Griff.
Hope to see you at a RAD night ... like EVER!
Shut it you shlaaaag
Get the keys to new flat tomorrow morning, so normal service will be resumed soon :-[
-
And about fookin time too Griff. Bring that useless southerner Rob Pickle with you as well as we've forgotten what you both look like!
Oh, and Ed's comments about me..... Fair enough I have been known to encourage new blood to join us, but don't find yourself stuck in the bogs when he's in there is all i'll say. He's been telling all the newbies that what he does to them is part of the initiation ceremony but don't believe him.....
-
Calm down my little munchkin, like I said all will be back to normal soon
Hopefully Ed's barn will be ready for a session soon and we can do a lock in near my house

Calm down my little munchkin

Mr H, enough with the idle chit-chat.......
Time to sacrifice some skin to the ramp gods as we're riding in Nottz at the new skate park on Sat the 1st Dec. Get your name down and we will get you roling. We'll even point out who Ed is so you don't end up going to the bogs at the same time......

Ok Spen, Notts is easier for me & the times look good mate. As always it will boil down to child care. I'm game for a try... I'll probably regret it but as they say... Better to regret something you have done, than something you haven't!
Best get the ole Blank media scrubbed up. I picked it up cheap on eBay... Does anyone ave an opinion on this bike (2010 I think)
-
Does this Blank Media bike have wheels, bars, grippy tyres and at least one brake ???
Well it sounds like you should ride it my friend. Ride it like you fookin' stole it :2funny:
-
Hahaha Touché master spen!

theres a load of better groups than Jurassic 5 :daumenhoch: ;D

Now there is a statement ed209! Lyrically J5 have it wrapped... they certainly have a well deserved place in the Hip Hop Hall of Fame. But hey... I never said they where the best... Im Hip Hop since '86 Bigman ;) With a Vinyl collection to die for and a Hip Hop/Rap MP3 catalogue inexcess of 7k - We could be compiling 'THAT' list till the day I die :D
Im currently listening to JVC Force... before that a '97 slammer by Lord tariq & Peter gunz - Show your skillz '209 ;)

I don't really have any beef with J5 as Chali 2na is a great mc and of course they had those DJs who weren't bad ;D
... I just saw them at a jam in Notts and after EVERY song they kept saying ..." we're taking it back to the old school' in a sing song kinda way ... just ruined it for me ... I did rinse their first EP / LP thing mind.
-
Ok I see now... had chance to digest that info burst you posted... good looking out there, Ed! (Yup I see he's d&b - have a few of his but SAD to say...not yours, YET!
That is one mighty collection... I mean - i wanna come over and leaf every piece of vinyl! Top draw my friend!!! You must have been collecting since the 80's/early 90's too?
Is it all hip hop?
Wheres the best place to check your music out mate??
ps Yeah to the notts rappers, only a few limited ones though... damn what a find!! ;-)
-
DUDE! That is one hell of a first lp cover sample - fleetwood, sabbath - is that Rodgers??? hahahaha

http://soundcloud.com/maxhouston
-
my collection is hip hop / funk / breaks / anything I can sample from / 80s / other random stuff I like....
Its the one thing I have never sold any of :daumenhoch: - that pic is just that wall ... the piles of vinyl drive my family mad ... especially as I am having a break from making music to build bmx >:D just getting back into listening again rather that being on a constant quest to find stuff to create with ... its nice just to sit back and not think ... and not smoke as much as I did when I was producing as well :laugh:
pm me your address and I will send my 4 x vinyl contributions to the world of Hip Hop over.
Its not much but it will always be 'out there' :daumenhoch:
gonna go get my girls to bed then check your mix :daumenhoch:
