epic photos coming soon.

sas works.

get some pictures of that maxmax.

oh by the way...360 off a curb, stoked.

compatible, yes. i still think you should get dics, but whatever. i've been beating the living f*ck out of my wheels. today i broke a spoke (learned to 3 drops though, and i've been trying 3whips), and my shop owner mentioned that my rim was dented and bent and shit...i got it in may, dammit! he also said most hard riders will go through a set of rims a season. well the hub is holding up fine. i guess disc vs. rim depends on how much you spin...that's all i've been doing lately, 360s, 180s off drops (i'm up to about 5 feet now), tailwhips, and so on.

alright the lever thing: most people haven't gotten bb5s/7s to work with bmx levers, however a friend of mine has. one-finger braking strictly, but they work really well. and bmx levers and mtb levers are interchangeable in terms of bar fit. btw, i should be running a front brake soon. i'm stoked.

My major is Sports and Recreation Administration. I'm going to pursue bike park management. I've taken a lot of philosophy classes though and I'm considering declaring a philosophy minor. It would mean an extra year of school though. I've never heard that saying. I tried googling it and didn't come up with anything. Let me think about it for a while and get back to you.

I learn all of what I know about Buddhism from Geshe Thupten Dorjee. AMAZING man. He taught Tibetan Philosophy and Culture and my university for a while. I took a few classes with him. He was also a good friend of my mother's best friend. His view on everything was fascinating. Google him. He's an interesting fellow.

It comes down to a debate about the legitimacy of various religions and their beliefs. Lots of people claim religious and ethical reasons for veganism/vegetarianism. IMO most of these are hypocritical BS. There is some legitimacy to these ideals coming from a devout practitioner of Buddhism. Buddhism doesn't demand or even really encourage that all of it followers try to reach enlightenment. Buddhism is simply a set of guidelines of how to live a happy fulfilling life. Believe it or not Buddhist beliefs are meant to be picked over. If a belief isn't for you then you don't have to follow it. Enlightenment is a personal quest with no external rewards. Most modern monks wear leather shoes. This doesn't mean they don't believe in Enlightenment. It's still very possible that their mother could have been reincarnated as that cow. But it doesn't change the fact that to live a life of moderation which is the heart of the Buddhist ideals they have to make compromises to adapt to modern life. Buddhism is even compatible with other religions. I know several people that claim to be Catholic Buddhist. If taken in the most literal sense they are incompatible. The ethics are very much compatible though. Ethics are all religion is REALLY about. Buddhists are able to make these compromises without abandoning their fundamental principles.

Hahaha,
Thats funny you say that. I already bent the back wheel to crap, just doing a little manual. Don't worry, it will be replaced soon, but yeah, im super stoaked on the Max Max, especially seing as it was so cheap

"my struggle"?...ya im not too surprised considering most are 13-14 year olds and think hitler was funny...

True, but I never have money for anything else.

haha well i started working with my dad in like 2000, and at plumbing jobs we took the old copper piping and just put it in the garage which is now literally full. Going of todays value we have something like £10,000 in pipe. If we leave it for another 6 months it may go up by a quarter or even half!

fair enough, it is hard not to come off sounding like a jerk. i posted my bike; 1. because i consider it pretty light 2. because i thought by posting my bike it might push others to post theres as well, u know get the ball rolling.

get your ass on msn if you're still awake

thanks....it flies over most people's heads, but whatever

does this count as pming?
