Read my post tel, not all are cunts. All are a bit odd and have different ideas of what is the right and wrong way to go about things but, you can’t lump all into “cunt”.

We had a BMXer for a few years to the area who was a real Gypsie and had the creative name Gypo John. He was ace, he lived in a caravan in some woods, built dirt jumps, always had tools to change decks. He welded bits on the park that needed doing, and would go “shopping” to Tesco and share his haul out with everyone. Any Townies and Kevs that tried to start trouble he delt with no matter who you were.

Real safe guy honestly! He was missed down the park

There’s a guy at my work who goes to the local Spar or whatever for his lunch every day, gets a triangle pack heap of shit sandwich and a few other bits. Every single time, he pays 50C or so for one of those bags for life (which he doesn’t need for 3 small items), then gets back to the office and puts it straight into the bin. Not a recycling bin, a normal bin. Can’t work out why he does this.

Is there an autocorrect on this forum? I seem to notice my posts have a lot in them and others too. Mistakes in posts when autocorrect comes into play, taking over, it seems to happen a lot on this forum, more than anywhere else I post. I see it on other peoples posts too and no-one on here is illiterate compared to the rest of the internet.

Also if noticed if you’ve massively messed up a post with it and edit it an hour later it then pumps it to the top again, can you stop this?

I think the amount of autocorrect is probably due to the huge increase in people posting from mobile and their phones doing the autocorrecting. It’s just over 50% now, whereas I’d only go onto n26 on mobile rarely as it was so painful and I think the number of mobile browsers was probably in the low teens %. There’s no autocorrect built into the forum

As for correcting posts and it popping to the top, this should only happen when the last post in a topic is edited.

Insoles. Any recommendations for a good set?

Basically i like wearing vulcs like Vans Eras for chilling but the soles are way too thin for our hard British pavements and I need to put a bit more padding in there

I had a set of Footprint Insoles you stuck in the microwave to soften up, they weren’t cheap at about £30 and have also sat unused in a shoebox somewhere as the biggest thing I ollie up or ollie down is kerb height. Sorry for not helping at all. But they were comfy.

You tired Era Pros with the Ultracush insole? Makes a world of difference

+1 for Footprint insoles. I got the midprice, non-microwave/oven jobbies a year ago. Felt odd at first like there’s a coin under my foot, but that mellowed out quickly and are still super comfy. Not cheap though and probably due for replacement in the spring or something.

I know people swear by those footprint insoles, I don’t believe for one second they will save your knees and make you able to skate El Toro into your 50s or what ever they were claiming once, but as far as an insole goes, I’m sure they will add something to Vulcs

Cool might try those. £30 is fair as I can switch them between shoes.

I’ve never tried ultracush vans as the shoes they come with are too pricey for what I want (as I don’t actually skate in Vans), and you can get a pair of Eras for like £35.

Saw a used Chad Fernandez World T-shirt go for 88 quid this week, not sure what to say.

I had some of those footprint insoles. The jaws pro ones. I didn’t rate them really as the didn’t fit in any shoes properly and made all my fitting shoes feel too small. I’d recommend just trying things on in the shop and make sure they have a nice shaped insole.
My footprint ones are currently in my work wellies.

Might dig them out and stick them in my Swifts

I had some of the original ones, before they were footprint. You had to inject them with water and mould them to your feet. I used them for well over 5 years in all shoes. I liked them and I feel they benefitted even if placebo as my diagnosis of fallen arches causing my knee/leg pain turned out to be folly. I am still yet to have a diagnosis but I am not using any extra insoles now and can’t pinpoint a difference.

insoles for ledge tricks boys? loool

insoles for injury/issues.
These insoles are only thick on the arches not on the balls so they are not for impact so… loool
:wink:
