I thought the same but I ended up getting it refunded when I realised that it's not the most user-friendly and it takes a while to set all these stunts/crashes up. Plus, everything you want to do is already on YouTube.

Yeah its pretty light on the actual "Game" part at the moment, but it's still good fun for a day or two. I'm assuming they'll keep adding missions etc as it's still in alpha.

The first nuts had no business getting as far as it did but it proved the gimmick was actually kind of a decent design. Centrifugal force is always where I put my money. If they could find a way to move effectively while that thing is up to speed they could be a serious contender. And those mini bots that can drive under the spinning chain and lift up or otherwise impede opponents are rad as hell.

Oh, and for anyone that hasn't cracked the code, you can usually skip exactly 5 mins from the end of a fight to get to the start of the next. Final usually has a longer inter fight break.

That whole series belongs itt.

That album has pictures of the glowing eye and I also included pictures of the 3d skull they made literally days after I was shot to help the doctors figure out how the gently caress they are putting me back together. The eye doesn't glow as well as it used to since I got it in 2010 I think and the glowing paint has deteriorated a bit. My ex loved that it would glow while we were in bed at night.

Especially with spinners having come back with a vengeance since the reboot, given that they usually had issues in the original UK TV run (usually hurting themselves when hitting something, which was Hypno-Disc's biggest flaw) and were banned on the live circuit. Season 9 was just full of ridiculous spinner poo poo, but then season 10 gave us Apex vs. Track-tion, which really has to be seen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpFIkSxbV0c

Yeah I think I remember them talking about how they hadn't tested the robot prior to putting into the arena. They were bragging about how quickly it would tear apart the opposition, they were reeeeally certain they had a winner on their hands. Instead it self destructed during a fight against 12 year olds and a crappy cheap robot they'd built as a school project. :v:

That's impressive skill and balance but I wanna know what kind of rims and spokes those are. I've destroyed a shitload of wheels just coming off of a curb too hard or at a weird angle.

It's okay if you have any questions.


Apparently that's known as cycle ball and is fairly popular in Europe and Asia.

At the gym I go to, they often put videos of cycling (tour de France, bmx, etc.) on the tv in front of the stationary bikes, with a little indicator in the corner of the screen showing changes in speed/intensity; the idea being that you speed up when the cyclist in the video does, increase resistance for hills, etc.
And then there's a video that's like a best-of cycle ball compilation. Like watching a bunch of guys hop around on one wheel is supposed to somehow help you achieve a better work-out on a stationary bike :confused:

Anyway, that's my story. Thank you for your time.

YouTube rabbit hole led me to many insane feats of balance and skill on bikes.

https://youtu.be/d3ycwY9SjpE

I thought I could bust out some rad tricks on my BMX when I was a lad. Turns out my GT and I were poo poo. I could pop wheelies all day and there was no jump or ramp that I wouldn't try, but these guys are fuckin ridiculous. And again, bike technology must have come a long way. If I would have tried to balance sideways on a wheel like that, let alone spin around my bike would have folded in half like a slice of Velveeta. I got a pretty nice hybrid right now and even that would last exactly half a second trying to do stunts like in that video.

Specifically because they hit the wedge-shaped front of their opponent so their bar got deflected upward.

EXISTENCE IS PAIN😬
In general it seems like armor is useless except vs those inertial spinners since there's a good chance they'll self destruct in such fashion.

Even better is when you take 2 spinners and have them face off against each other (like Nightmare vs Wyachi I believe)

Sprint Cyclists put out a crazy amount of power, i really love watching sprints they make a great spectator sport.

https://youtu.be/N1bXEHWPCwE

70km/h is a mad speed to get a bike upto. Cyclists tend to measure power output as the raw gauge of how hard they're going, a sprinter like Kenny there is putting down 2000 watts.
