[QUOTE=Dr. Jake Destructo]I can do 360s on rollerblades. I've never actually tried anything too extreme, or gone to a park with blades, but I'd like to. I find it about as fun as skateboarding.

BMX is also amazing. It's really the only extreme sport that I was afraid of. I used to take my bike off small 3 foot jumps, but psh, those huge jumps are freaking insane! I mean, if you fell, you're bound to get tangled up in that mess of aluminum.[/QUOTE]
I used to do the BMX racing. They are primariliy dirt tracks but sometimes a few parks are wood/concretet like a skatepark. When you fall, you barely get hurt unless you are hit in the shins or groin. I always wore shin guards though. It's a sport I can still do as long as I don't overwork my leg. My local track shut down though :(

BMX racing with a decent track is very fun to watch. So many people don't finish :)

I used to be a sk8zorz d00d before I got fed up with other skateboarders and began to focus on music.

[QUOTE=Dr. Jake Destructo]Bam Margera belongs in hell for what he's turned the scene into, and for making HIM extremely popular. That aside, the skateboarding scene was the in thing long before Jacka[SIZE=2]ss[/SIZE]. Have you tried skateboarding?[/QUOTE]

I never really paid much attention to the scene, anyway.

I never got into skating myself. It looks cool, but I was never particularly interested in [i]doing[/i] it. I'm actually getting into parkour, though.

I used to skate and I wasn't bad at it but I had zero commitment so I turned to music.

Seems to be like that for a lot of us... heh.

Well, I probably turned my self off of it early. I went off a bigger jump than I normally would go off of, and I landed on my back wheel, and it slid out from under me, and I just got the wind knocked out of me really, [I]really[/I] bad. I mean, I couldn't breathe for like 30 seconds. It was frightening, so I just cautioned my self to be a pansy and avoid BMXing.

hell yes, playing guitar with my friends in his driveway, and getting yelled at by black kids/ghetto white kids at the shopping center across the street from where he lives for playing white boy music was one of the best times I've had in a while.

The guys who started up the team on campus made a demo video with a whole bunch of special effects. It's what got me into it.

[QUOTE=I Am Vikingcore]They pulled an Atreyu :lol:.[/QUOTE]

Wait wait, what did Atreyu do?

And whats parkour?

Right Side Of The Bed has the exact same intro as The Hive by In Flames.

Does anyone know if Dredg beat Muse in the MR poll?

Children of Bodom's Bodom Beach Terror has a [i]very[/i] similar intro to Carcass' Corporeal Jigsore Quandry.

Parkour is a sport in which you basically lay out a space to run in laps. Any obstacle that gets in your way, you use agility to get past it. The goal is let absolutely nothing slow you down. Lots of leaping, jumping, vaulting, rolling, etc.

Translated, it means "obstacle course" if that help you picture it any better.

Linkin Park's "Faint" has a very similar vocal structure [during the chorus] to Korn's "Got The Life"

[QUOTE=Dr. Jake Destructo]Does anyone know if Dredg beat Muse in the MR poll?[/QUOTE]

Dredg were trounced by n00bs and fools.

I voted Dredg because I had never really heard either of them, and they were losing.

Parkour sounds fun but I would never be good at it. Im not very agile.

Fools have a tendancy to remain n00bs for extended periods of time...

night guys :wave:

So are you not supposed to vote in these polls unless you are educated on every band?

I think what Vince is disappointed about is that most of these people clearly made no effort whatsoever to correct their ignorance.

[QUOTE=Byzantine]So are you not supposed to vote in these polls unless you are educated on every band?[/QUOTE]

In this case, it was really easy to educate yourself on it.

[QUOTE=Byzantine]So are you not supposed to vote in these polls unless you are educated on every band?[/QUOTE]
No, otherwise I'd be a hypocrite, but...in a tiebreaker where there's two bands, and a thread on the first page about one of them...I can't see why it would have been hard to take 5 mins to educate myself about one band.

[QUOTE=SonorKen]Im guessing your a big Byzantine fan, they are from where I live![/QUOTE]

They are from Richmond right? Yeah I love them. They are a really good band, I think they are on the verge of getting pretty big.

Yeah I get what you are saying, Vince.

Then there are idiots like me who love Dredg, but still read your thread. :( Life sucks when you're bored.

I kind of hope there was enough content so that even die-hard fans learned a little something :-\

I read it, and needless to say you did a great job on introducing me to a new band I'm getting eager to look foward to. But I can't seem to get into them. It's almost like I [I]want [/I] to like them, with all the hype around R&M. They're very talented, but I guess I haven't caught the flu yet.

Maybe I need some more listening.
