[quote=asdf]I also make my own patches. The way I do this is I print out the image that I want from my computer onto some cardboard-ish material. Then I cut the image like a stencil and use fabric paint. Fabric paint pens work a lot better then just bottles of fabric paint, but they run out much faster.[/quote]

MOD EDIT 2: No longer is this thread about asking how to put up a mohawk. This is about DIY goods and services

**** straight

i'm a fountain of knowledge

Anyone here seen that show Iron Chef....it's ****ing radical!!

keep it on topic

uncle matty, how long til i finish tony hawk's?

which one are you playing, and ho much of it have you done?

I've completed the first 5 Tony Hawks.

i'm playing tony hawk's underground on the gamecube, and i'm on the bit where you have the 9 big goals to do (e.g. spine transfer the train etc)

err...sketchy can help more

i say....2 hours

That's pretty easy that bit as you don't have to do all of them. SOme of those goals are hard though. You're near the end.

sound as ****. i've only done the train one so far, the rest are well hard!

The one iN Hawaii you've just got to stay straight, the one in Slam City Jam is quite hard but if you work out your line first then it's pretty easy. The Florida one is bloody hard. I can't remember the others.

So in the Russia level how in hell can you spine transfer over the to the other side of the level? I can get over the wall but I can't wall transfer

First you need to build up your stats (check on the pause menu to find out how). Then to get over the wall you'll need to boneless before you jump off the ramp. To boneless press ^^then ollie.

boneless

Can someone recommend me a decent name for my band? Our influences are: 4ft Fingers, Consumed, Rancid, The Offspring, NOFX etc. (I started this as a thread a few days ago but it got closed cos it was dumb!) Thanks

well if you cant even think of a band name you must pretty much suck

'breaking coppers kneecaps'

[QUOTE=sketchyjoe]The one iN Hawaii you've just got to stay straight, the one in Slam City Jam is quite hard but if you work out your line first then it's pretty easy. The Florida one is bloody hard. I can't remember the others.[/QUOTE]

I can't remember all of them, but the Slam city Jam one was pretty tough. The Florida and Hawaii ones were simple.

the second TH Underground doesn't look that good

[QUOTE=RevengeOfTheVillageIdiot]well if you cant even think of a band name you must pretty much suck[/QUOTE]

We don't suck, we just can't come up with anything catchy that we really like. We had 'fobik' but everytime I looked at it, it remined me of 'Reebok' whick I hated. Also came up with 'defector' which means rebel or renegade in Latin :thumb: Yeah i guess we suck at thinkin of good names.

When I'm 40 I'm going to have a band called "The Money"

how do i make ice?

[QUOTE=username77]how do i make ice?[/QUOTE]
Fill a container with liquid water. Set in freezing temperature. (0 Degrees Celsius, 32 Degrees Farneheit). Wait a few hours. When you come back, it's ICE!

So what about the Mohawks, is toothpaste good enough?

just use hairpsray, its really all you need.

Getting a really big mohawk is a process of hairspray, blowing drying, hair spraying again...

I dont like the feeling of "hard" hair or whatever though.

Hey does anyone know how to dye their hair with kool-aide, I tried it before and it didnt work

[QUOTE=Jedi Jesus]Hey does anyone know how to dye their hair with kool-aide, I tried it before and it didnt work[/QUOTE]
You have to have blonde hair for it to work longer than a day.
...and from what I remember it's kool-aid + peroxide.

You should be able to find one in there.

i think you need to have light hair already, then you just out it in and leave it for a while.

i consider myself to have a biggish mohawk, about 8 inches now. wash yer hair, comb it (get all the knots and crap out) hold a section, comb that (makes it look much better if its all straight and combed out) hairspray - blowdry

repeat for whole head. spray on more hairspray if you want it hard/stiff

Is paint thinner good for taking stuff off your jacket, I don't really know much about it so how does it work?

well if you want to remove paint im sure it works fine.

i have no idea if it would effect the jacket material though


basically, you should really wear a mask/gloves/ and goggles when using paint thinner.

brush it on to the painted surface, and just leave it, after a while the paint will look like it is starting to peel off. get something to scrape the paint off with.
