Odd, I thought they were cyclists and would have their own bikes.

Before I unsubscribe from this thread, I'll say this:

If you love cooking then of course you're going to appreciate your knive, not just because you depend on it or because it feels comfortable to use, but also because - if it's a good knive - then a shitload of research, time, effort and expertise has gone into the process of making it. If you're interested in materials and manufacturing processes (which for me stems from studying chemistry and physics and, as a result of the scientific interest, having a passive interest in how bicycles are made) then you're probably going to be interested in the way your knive has been made, and the type(s) of metal it's been made from , how it was formed, how it was hardened etc. Although mine was made by many robots, I do find the earlier craftsmanship of knifes interesting - as I find the craftsmanship of anything interesting, whether it's hand-built bicycle frames, carpentry or glassblowing. And then there's the skill/technique you need to be able to chop stuff quickly/efficiently but safely. It actually feels pretty good to be able to use something that happens to be potentially dangerous, to achieve a result in a perfectly safe way.

I'm no Captain Maturity but if you find that offensive or disgusting then you need to grow the fuck up.

I don't use knifes to stab people and I have never had, and will never have, any intention of doing so. However I do enjoy chopping various foodstuffs fast as fuck with them. My knive stays in the drawer when not in use. How is that distasteful or dangerous? How does that put people in hospital? How does that cause any harm to anyone? If you cannot mentally seperate utility knifes from the knifes that have been designed for killing people, and you cannot mentally seperate the appreciation of a great cooking utensil from the idea of stabbing someone, then you are a grade A fuckwit.

Enjoy your day.

charity man, one of our clients.

scariest bit is allowing all your weight to be taken by the rope... i hate that bit but once it's over theres no more fear, just enjoyment

Great thread.
Fuck off.

Yeah you're right.

BAN ALL KNIVES.

Knives should be hated because only murderers use them.

We should also ban cars because sometimes people intentionally use them to kill other people.

We should also ban and hate everything that could be used to kill someone. For example salt, water (hot or cold), pillows, drinking glasses and so on. in fact fuck it BAN EVERYTHING

Oh by the way, dont think youre so special just because you live in London. People get stabbed (and plenty of other non-stabby stuff goes on) outside London, dickhead.

You may have noted, that this is LONDONfgss, and therefore Londoners like me, are aware that knives have other uses here in this city, than culinary work.

Hospitals are full of people who are the victims of knife lovers. Knife lovers are not only chefs. That part, is the shame.

A love of a dangerous weapon is one thing, but as a tool of work is another. Society reacts with chagrin at the true effect of knives here. THAT is why some, like me, find the knife love, sad.

PS. Liking a knife is no less credible than liking a bike. This is lunatic. People don't easily pick up a bike, with the aim of killing another person.

You are such a twat.

Who mentioned anything about killing people, other than you?

Objects that aren't specifically designed to be weapons only become weapons when they are used as such. A chef's knife isn't designed to be a fucking weapon, IT'S A FUCKING TOOL FOR CUTTING FOOD YOU IDIOT.

I am the idiot, but you are the one posting a thread on knife love????

Yeah okay. You're right.

+1 this is sad

You're both bellends.

Some people enjoy cooking and enjoy using a quality, well made tool to get the job done.

You know, a bit like some of the people on this forum who enjoy riding a quality bicycle that feels good to ride and does its job for a long time.

Liking a knife is no less credible than liking a bike.

steels are better

No just incredibly unskilled with incredibly sharp instruments, thankfully hit it at the precise angle to take my nail off from the root to tip, rather than the end of the finger, could have been far worse, hence my respect for it now!
fuck, that musta hurt

...I managed to slice my whole index finger-nail off clean.

how the fuck did you do that?! were you pissed?

Do you love your knive? Do you really enjoy chopping stuff really fast, knowing that you cannot cut yourself? Have you spent more than £100 on a knive? Do your mates think you're a cordon bleu chef due to your insanely fast and accurate chopping?

(messenjah posting)

Did you really see me? My legs were flapping everywhere and the rope kept trying to make me swing around the corner of the building! And I got rope burn! Despite all that bollocks it wasn't actually scary, it was just difficult... after not doing it for about 13 years I sorta expected that.

cannapuccino was nice

If it's steeper than it looks in the photo then it must be f*cking vertical - those transitions do look pretty quick

secret location

tempted to get back on me bmx and shred that thing. once you get over the fear of riding on concrete, it's pretty nice to ride, just don't crash if you value the intactness of your bones

thing is man the layout of that park was well dangerous with the jumpbox leading directly into the side of the street course, which is like having a fucking t-junction with no stop or give way sign. nuff accidents were caused by that but i bet fewer people got hurt than the people who thought "hey it's a foam pit, i cant get hurt, i don't need to be careful!"

Danny McAskill is awesome, and is evidence that top notch trials riding will soon merge with top notch bmx riding. He actually rides with BMX riders which is undoubtedly why he rides like a BMXer - in fact a BMX rider called Dave Sowerby (Scottish bloke, was sponsored by Seventies Distro and featured on their From Love to Hate video) filmed the video that you've posted.

He still does a bit of that ugly bouncing and hopping but the rest of his riding completely outweighs that - this is the most jaw dropping video I've seen in a long time, probably overshadowing anything I've seen by riders like Ruben Alcantara...

load of hipster shit

The problem with resi & foam jumps is that they dont stop you from landing on top of the bike, or the bike from landing on top of you. I think when I bailed a flair into the foam pit at 'Vertical Extreme' skatepark and landed with my knee on top of my rear axle nut , I was pretty lucky to only lose some skin and a bit of flesh. And pretty lucky when my bike came within an inch of landing on top of my head for whatever reason - bikes weren't light back in 1999.

Well, some dude I knew for a while was like "x cafe is great, they use monmouth beans", as if using monmouth beans somehow adds to your credibility, like as soon as you mention monmouth then thats it, you must be a good cafe. but you could use the best beanz in the world and still make shit coffee, and its not as if monmouth grow the beanz themselves anyway is it. The wickedest coffee i ever tasted was from Shittards, despite the fact that a few months later i bought the same type of coffee from them and it just tasted of burn. But at least they got it right once. mmm red wine is nice

hmm the problem with hard cases is that you can't take them touring with you...

haha yeah, i'm too scared to do some of the stuff i used to do - i cant even 180 my favourite set of steps anymore :( its steps i used to fearlessly throw myself down when i was ten years younger lol

I've got the left hand and middle bit. Shame I can't find the main bit, it's chrome off an Achille (posh).

No sailors but check out this unit on the 9 of spades.

phwoarrr

I love watching BMX street stuff. I'm so jealous of people that can do it. I wish I was 12 again, so I could get into it and start getting really good. I'm very bitter.

Dude age is no barrier, I know people who didn't start riding til they were almost 30, and now they're better than me... I started when I was about 13, didn't start getting 'good' until I was about 17, peaked at about 19 (coincidentally that was just about the time when we got Walsall skatepark built and thus had somewhere to ride every day instead of getting the train to Derby every other weekend...)

When you're older it hurts more when you crash or if you strain a muscle, but just wear pads and warm up & stretch first innit :)
