Well, I got to see racketboy, mozgus, and lordofduct...... mystery solved! Has snowkitty posted yet?

Here's me.



Edit: Oh.. and here's my obligatory frontman picture.

Here is my most recent picture of me

It's been nice seeing everyone -- thanks!
However, I find it odd that the two people from the forum that I have met in real life haven't posted their pics

nvm

Here is one of my girlfriend and I, currently my facebook picture as well! I am a pirate and she is treasure.

Stayed on "the Kingdom" in County Kerry in a sleep little town called Waterville. Also spent a weekend in Dingle. Man, it was such a great time. Loved the people, loved the food, and especially loved the beautiful scenery. Next time I go I want to see a hurling matching in person.

hi man - yeh unfortunately I don't live in such beautiful areas as you visited - I live in Dublin, Dingle is indeed an amazing place though - I've been there before. I've never been to Waterville, though I've been to Kerry a good few times and it is in general a great place

did you ever see that pic of the wheel that spontaneuosly combusted on a hill run? apparently the urethane in early wheels was quite volatile...

man that bottom pic is proper class - wouldn't look out of place in the pages of 'Fuck You Heroes'

the only problem is it looks like you're 'natural' footed :p

thank you

yeah i've seen melted wheels, a lot of it has to do with both formula and molding technologies. there are hubs in most downhill wheels now, so unless you fill your bearings with sand or really over-tighten your wheel nuts there isn't anything to worry about.

and yeah i'm regular footed, however i can ride both ways pretty well. when riding across town I can push with either foot from either stance. It makes long distance skates far less tiring.

i c cool

yeh some people prefer to push with their front foot anyway so they can turn with their back foot while they push...

on a side note I was playing the Skate2 demo tonight, and while I enjoy the feel of the actual skating in it - especially the way it is actually proper hard to say for example grind a handrail, I can't handle all of the crap that gets shouted in your ear by the camera dickhead - do all skaters nowadays actually really believe they're rappers?

I'm the one on the right. Not a great pic, but there aren't that many of me so deal with it...

dang! gotta upload a bunch of photo's again

Here's a pick of me. It's a bit overexposed and I look kinda weird because I was tired and had just woken up.
