dirtsurfing video!

Iknow it's totally unrelated to physics but we all need a break now and then!
check out this page and tell me you don't want one of these!
http://www.darenwaters.homecall.co.uk/

please look we're trying to see how high we can get the counter!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I'm not going to simply because it is rude to ask for something when you are sitting there with 0 posts to your name. It took me over 50 posts before I was even able to ask for a/s/l.
 
woh dude chill out! what has a/s/l got to do with the price of kippers? if you don't want to look don't look, you could be missing out on a world of fun though!
you never know until you try.
 
and how do i only have 0 posts when I've just posted 2? 3 now!
 
I'm going to take my chances and say nope, I'm not missing anything. Anyone who can't read the number of posts under their name, or who hasn't been around PF enough to know that GD posts don't go towards post counts could not possible show me anything I need to see.
 
blimey!
the no posts under my name is 0 on my screen!
is that directley related to my IQ?
do I care?
how do you know you don't need to see if you've never seen?
 
I am with tribdog, not that I am worried about going to your site. However, there are plenty of spammers who come on to a forum with 0 posts and start a new thread asking people to go to some stupid website. Sorry.
 
the no posts under your name is 0 on your screen? wow, I didn't think you had any.
If a tree falls on you in the forest can you hear a scream in space?

:smile: egg, look at the pink ribbon under his name. See what it says?

Welcome to PF. Posts in General Discussion don't count toward your post count.

Do you have a special reason for wanting to increase the number of hits on the counter on that page?

blimey it's just a video of us having some fun, of all the forums I've posted on this is the least friendly!
ah well never mind.
what do you guys do for fun anyway?
 
  • #11
i saw the ribbon, don't agree really!
just trying to see how many people we can get to our site! is that a lot to ask?

Hello egg,
I viewed that video and must say it looked rather boring. The 4-wheel model seemed tame (lame) enough even for me.

[edit]
If you would consider wearing a dress and posting a photo of your legs I might be inclined to give your site another hit. :biggrin:
 
  • #13
we don't like whiners here either.

lol, I'm just messing with you, not checking out your site, but just messing with you.

is this revenge of the geeks or something?
 
  • #15
Ok I clicked on it. Here is a question, why is the low quality about 5mbs and the high quality is 4mbs, lol. Sorry realplayer was taking too long, and I do not have windows media player on my computer.

Fun? Well, tribdog chases newbies and I torture tribdog (with Tsu's help). :smile:

We're just a skeptical crowd. Starting out with a post containing a link and not much other information is what a lot of spammers do (as has been mentioned already), so we have to interrogate you properly to make sure you're planning to stick around. At least we know you're not a hit and run. :biggrin:

nothing makes me want to do what someone wants me to quite like insults.

Glad I didn't waste my time clicking on the link (reading this thread is a much more entertaining waste of my time). I won't poison my poor computer with either of those, so I wouldn't have been able to watch anything anyway.

I do not use windows anymore, and I am too lazy to install the linux equavalent.
 
  • #24
I'm still not talking to you.
Why don't you use windows?

How many others here thought that the title of this thread was "Disturbing Video" the first time they saw it?

Follow Boulderhead's request and maybe we'll hit your site.

It's not that we want to see you in a dress (well, maybe Boulderhead does), we just want to make you do weird things. :-p

Not just the first time, but every time it bumped up with a reply. I wasn't going to say anything, but now that I know I'm not the only one, I'll admit it. :smile:
 
  • #29
Yeah I thought it was disturbing as well, and I still do.

And I think you are right, I saw some nerds following me the other day, maybe some of gate's cronies?
