Yer same dunno what I need to send now haha

Saw someone recently talking about Poe Pinson and thought they were taking the piss talking about Joe Hinson. Turns out they’re a real person and they absolutely rip in their own right. Probably incredibly late to that party but that’ll serve em right for not putting people’s names in their footage.

Check her Paris Olympics runs. She’s pretty rad.

I did the same!

Just turned pro for There as well

I knew I’d have seen her somewhere before! Recognised straight away after that.

Trying to use the Mixx software to make a middle eastern techno set but can’t work out where it scans the music files. Anyone else used this software before?

Edit: managed to sort it out, Mixx is so good for free software

Bronze bolts are philips. Very rare.

Remember those greebo Randoms (?) bolts that you hammered straight through the bolt hole? One of them was an alien IIRC?

Very shit.

“If you don’t fuck with Bronze56k, you’re whack as fuck.”

Turns out I’m whack as fuck but at least I don’t have Phillips bolts like some Argos complete.

I’ve always preferred Phillips bolts to Allen, because every single Allen key I own (even the expensive Stanley multi-key thing I’ve got) are absolutely arse at staying within the bolt, and none of them ever feel like they’re quite the right size. Also with Phillips bolts your board is more Xtr3me because there’s 8 Xs on it.

I’d really prefer Pozidrive or Torx bolts but we’re not there yet.

I feel the same as Neddy, won’t catch me stocking Phillips headed bolts!

I remember randoms they did a pentagram, a skull, an alien.

Guys guys all this talk of stripping allen key heads virtually disappears if you only get a new board every 3 years

I’m almost at 1 a year now haha

I can be quite precious when it comes to my setups but for some reason I don’t really mind Phillips bolts. I prefer Allen but Phillips is not that bad.

One thing I hate is brand spanking new bolts that are blacker than your griptape. That shit can ruin a setup. I scuff new bolts with griptape scraps in order to make them greyer if they are super black.

You’re supposed to turn the nut not the bolt unless you want twisted grip around the bolt

Shouldn’t fuck up the head if you do this
