I skate mongo too, mainly because 30 years ago nobody was there to tell me otherwise.

So far as bunnyhops go, it sounds like you're right-footed (you're putting it to the front as to lift) keep doing this and just practice and practice trying to hop over a stick lying on the ground. There's a billion youtube vids of how to bunnyhop, don't analyse them too much, just practice.

good luck

Another pic from Old Street station, eerily quiet this afternoon.

^ The discipline of writing to a structure gives a conversational poem like this and underlying, if almost imperceptible, momentum, an inevitability. I like the contrast between apparently 'free' verse and the definite boundaries. Many of my favourite sonnets follow a meter perfectly.

Well, to keep the meter, maybe 'bollocks'?

You could maybe stop shaving your bollocks.

Oh, it's on!

Young William's poems, it seems, raise the bar
Themes of love, loss, and tragedy abound
He's a modern young man, just like The Bard
There's one thing, an error I've found
He suggested I shave my nuts, hairless!
A common request now these days
My pubes are like Gandalf, a dreadlock mess
Peer in my pants, if you dare, hold that gaze
Scissor, sheep shearer, clipper and razor
Forget chemicals, my balls laugh at Veet
I'll need something more, more like a lazer
To de-fuzz my two veg and meat
So William I'm going to hit B&Q
Gonna need a strong steady hand. You?

Flickr has changed recently, see the three balls option, click that and then select show all I think, then you'll have a screen similar to the previous Flickr that you will recognuse

Maybe is necessary, do not remove, it's a request not a command, as the preceding 'could' is not 'should'. If you were to substitute 'flange' for 'armpits' then your work might have a bit more punch, william.

Old karrimore stuff is great, I use a daypack that I've had for 15 years daily. One of the zips has just started to get temperamental but it's fine still. The new stuff is incomparable, zips fail, straps pull away from main body, stitching is poor and splits at the seams. They must have been bought out sometime and changed everything but the name.

It's a bit play -mobile but a bargain's a bargain. Nice one.

Moar animals!

What's that? I'm not allowed to sleep on the bed? Ok...

Damn you Lucy, you've yoga-snoozed your fur all over my jumper.

Nearly smelt it.

That must be really fucking loud

I'm channeling Skrtluv's vibe hard here:

Since I got relegated
from LuFGuSS to Pinkbike
I've been able to say
Whatever I like
They don't take the mick
Outta griptape or bars
Average age is 15
It isn't too hard
To impress them
With a rhyme or a skid
If they get demanding
I'll show them my vid-
Eo, Yo, mad flow on the mic
I can chat shit
All day if I like

T'was a strange call
To delete my account
My Free World Build thread
Would never amount
To a pile of beans midst
The tosh spouted here
To Scoble's trousers
I couldn't come near
My recommendations for bike fit
It's true
Were questionable
But wouldn't you
Use plumbing supplies
Instead of Grip tape
Change your cockpit daily
I've got arms like an ape

I remain available
If your bike's unsaleable
If you've problems with your setup
Or even with your get-up
Need a homemade hat?
Yeah, I got that
Drilling up your saddle?
It's time to get rad, All
You Haters Suck My Balls

Peace

Here's a couple of pics I've taken in the last week or so. They're for a photo challenge against my mate, winner buys the loser a drink, or maybe it's the other way round. The theme was 'Flight'. I've gone with stairs rather than planes.

Fucking Boomshanka! Stiff competition against a cloud of pretty French flying ant things, but I beat him off, winning a bottle of scotch (to be shared with him)

Climbing is a great leveller, I've never had anyone laugh or make a snarky comment, plenty of fat people are great climbers, skinny peeps too. Technique over strength any day. Go and enjoy yourself, take your top off if you get hot, not to impress

I saw a lotus sunbeam on Tuesday, just pooling through town. That is all.

Isn't Indra meeting him in Canada?

No, it's in Hertford at the council offices

I posted pretty much the same shot about 3 years ago, sans bike. I just happened to be passing the same spot yesterday and thought I'd take advantage of the location

But won't newer members be lead by the older members (inadvertantly, as how could they know who was longer established) and so when they see some cheekiness they will auto assume that that level of cheek is acceptable to all.

Iphone 5

banned forever? he's not usually a sexist fool, he's generally quite sound, if a bit demented.

Why not take this to the 'rap battle' thread? William's a poet, uber's a ranty wordsmith, shit's gonna go down

I boulder at The Castle sometimes, loads of bouldering options, get thee along there. There's not too many big dudes and there's plenty of boulderers (?) of very varying ability.

Group sesh?

There's four chocolate rabbits
Arrived just this morning
They're looking at me
I'll give them a warning

Before I munch on their ears
Dark, milk, can't decide which
Cosmetic animal testing's outlawed
But this is science, bitch!

Hold the hearse, Khornight
Don't call it yet
This thread's just like Jesus
It's back from the dead

I think it's just been quiet here since,
I went on a drunken rampage with my stanzas
my devastating rhymes were just too much
laying waste to my opposition like Panzers

Now I'm back and I'm fueled
By chocs and by gin
What more could you ask
It's Easter, it's no sin

Lent's over you see
And I've got to catch up
There's booze on my shelf
It's wrong not to sup

And that's why Jesus
means so much to me
'He's Risen' well woo!
Time for gin, not more tea!

I used to live a few miles from Glengoyne Distillery (the southernmost highland distillery if I remember correctly) they don't use peat in their process and so it tastes quite 'light' but doesn't have that trad 'whiskey' vibe, so again, not a good first timer's drink as it's not indicative of a 'normal' whiskey. If the peaty flave is too much then give Glengoyne a try though
