Re: Justification for pricing? Have they really gone too far?! posted on 2007-02-16 09:38:53

I dont care how much "heart" or "love" went into a frame,. its a damn frame!!!

I want a frame to ride not some emotionally charged piece of metal.

bottom line:

Judging by the current market of flatland frames YES this frame is too expensive

Reasons:

Seriously flatlanders RARELY ride the same frame forever so the fact that you say it will last a lifetime,. not too important.

Lighter frames are available at lower costs, I could buy two fly simples and still have money left over,. and the fly simple is a beautiful frame (I own one)

The design is simplistic, thus if someone wants to spend alot for a "crazy" looking stylish flatland frame, its not this one.

If someone wants a straight tube simplistic frame there are better options,.

Sorry but its the truth I doubt this frame will stay at this price point much longer.

Re: Skaters and Bikers... posted on 2007-02-16 09:31:00

hey man,. dont worry, things will change

I used to get shy and shit and not wanna ride in front of people,. well I'm not pro or anything but I can do SOME decent tricks now and I am 21 years old so no little punk bitch skater starts shit with me..

Just wait till you got some confidence, and less people will start shit with you.

There will always be people who hate on you thoug, nothin you can do about that, but if you got confidence it wont bother you,. and skills on the bike seem to bring respect I dont have any skaters working on kickflips come up to me and tell me I suck,. so just keep at it and get more confident dude!

I use a primo steroid,. its fine ,. grippy enough for anyone,. my hands rarely slip off the seat and its light too, I suggest you try one out since they are very inexpensive.

Whats the next big thing posted on 2006-11-13 05:22:47

Well,. hip hop has gotten HUGE, everywhere,. punk has evolved into screamo and thats getting realllly old,. Whats the next big thing to come out of music? The whole mainstream synthesis of "techno-rock" annoys the hell out of me,. and the rejuvination of the whole "vintage" stroked style thing is pathetic,. So what do you guys think will be the next popular genre to hit the music industry I would say more stuff like block party :)

My parents are getting a divorce. Yippe! Only have to deal with one of the mean motherfuckers.

Albino, your shuch a fucking idiot. My parents dont give a shit about me, all the care about is how good I make them look infront of other people. They dont actualy give a shit about me. All they care about is money. They demand I have a college education, because They want to look good, not because they value learning.

they wont let you work? Dude you are whipped,. girls be like "why dont you have a job" you're gonna say "my mom wont let me have one" aha you are a bum dude

make a resume at school and hand it out places,... damn dude you make yourself seem pretty pathetic.

why are the RIP's so scarce? If its any good wont someone make more?
[/quote]

Flatland is a very small market. Think of the frame as a bram advertisement,. you dont need alot of frames on the market to advertise Bram like this,.

Its basically just a KHE promotion advertising a new rare expensive style frame

Re: Looking to get my first Tatoo... posted on 2006-10-17 10:25:45

most tattoos that I have seen pictures of or seen in person look like complete crap I havent seen one that made me want to get any.

but I still want one .. pretty much based on the amazing looking tatoos I see on miami ink and "inked" which are shows on tv.

But I think most people who get tatoos know nothing about art and just get it and have no clue it looks like complete shit, I am an artist and I notice how ugly all the tattoos are that I see.

[quote author=therifraf link=topic=20053.msg220563#msg220563 date=1158185199]

[color=Red]I don't fully agree. Not all art professors are like that. A lot of them want you to succeed. I've had some professors even hook me up with jobs. As far as an education in art, I feel that you should only venture into it if you are for sure that it is what you want to do for a living. Don't commit yourself to it, if it's just a hobby. Art is something you are going to have to have a lot of determination and drive for. Art schools are a big commitment because they tend to be very expensive, and can leave you in a lot of debt. It is true that a lot of artists and designers have made it in the business without going through school, but that's not to say that they didnt get an education. A lot of them learned through working for other artists, or having family or friends who could teach them. If you don't have that, maybe an art school is worth it.
I graduated from an art school, and I don't think I would be the same artist I am today, if I had not gone. Some of the things I learned there, I wouldn't have had access to if I had not gone. I wouldn't have been surrounded by such a good community of artists to work with and learn from. I'm 25 now, and I am a senior illustrator for a major fashion company. Sometimes I think about if I would have been able to make it to where I am today, without going to school. The truth is, I don't think i would.

Don't get me wrong. Getting to where I am today was not easy at all. I went through a couple of years freelancing and trying to find work. There were times where I was really low on dough and living off a credit card, getting myself deeper into debt. But it was something I really wanted to do, something I really had a passion for. If you are interested in pursuing a career in art, expect to struggle. Art is not where the money is at.

Just letting you know that Art is not a Dead end.[/color]

Hey well I was a bit moody when I wrote that,. The thing is, I went to school for art and the teachers gave me nothing but a hard time, they were underqualified and couldn't teach art worth shit (it was a crappy school so this is partially to blame).

Then I tried to get into music which required me to take a one year general course because the program was oversubscribed, I worked my ass off and put up with a lot of shit and got good grades, only to be put on a waiting list, denied, then told to apply in another year and maybe I would get in then.

Now I am stuck in my hometown (the last place I wanted to be) at community college, taking business, with a bunch of shitty courses like math and accounting and human resources, sure its stable but every class I'm in I just wish I was with creative students and not all these boring business students.

Re: for those with a career posted on 2006-09-13 07:17:00

Hey you said you were 15 ? Well I'm 20 and I still have no fucking clue what I want to do

Basically I just want easy access to money

I went to school for art and that was an awful decision,. Art teachers do not want their students to suceed because they are still struggling artists (which is why they teach art and arent selling their paintings for big money)

THEN I tried a general arts and science course, . it was fun I met some cool people, but it didnt get me anywhere career wise.

NOW I am in business administration,

If you take any advice from me,. let it be this

DO NOT take any college courses that woudl be more of a personal hobbie of yours if you werent in college... like

music, art, fashion,

because the truth is you do not need degrees to get into this job market and the most amazing artists did not go to school for graphic design, and the most amazing and influential musicians did not goto school for instrumentation, and the owners of the top fashion chains did not major in fashion.

All the creative courses in college are dead ends.

Take something practical and realistic.

Even if its a back-up plan in case you dont become a rock star.

Re: The way i dress posted on 2006-09-13 07:04:26

Hey Akmal

I would like to think I keep up with the fashion scene,

Baggy jeans are completely out, same with pre ripped jeans,. that trend has completely ended and now it just looks tacky, for denim solid colours are coming back or stuff thats been white washed to give it a little of a faded look.

Low Rise guys jeans are getting huge and following that whole trend that started with girls jeans

So dont bash guys for wearing girls pants because now guys jeans are actually being designed to look more like girls jeans (low rise, slim fit)

business casual is also comin back (I dressed this way for years) ,. like wearing a nice collored shirt, with a sweater and tie,. and then some jeans and sneakers.

I can be hip hop one day in baggy clothes, tight clothes the next day , and look like I'm goin to the office on the third I like to mix it up alot.

real men don't try on clothes before they purchase them.

jk :-P

really though.. why so picky?

I know my size, and what I like.. I just go get it and leave. I hate dealing with dressing rooms... I always feel like I'm being watched.
[/quote]

well I work as one of those "fitting room attendants" and we dont have a guys\girl section, all the rooms are in the same place.

you shoudl always try it on before you buy it, because different companies have different sizes and you never know how it will look, feel or fit, unless you put it on,.

Lots of people are too nervous to come out of the fitting room and look in the mirror, so they peek out of the door lol, but thats ok ,. and yeah yesterday a girl brought 11 items in the fitting rooms and tried them on for like an hour

Re: Dating: age differences posted on 2006-08-30 20:52:20

I woudl say no,. I am 20 and dated a 17 year old and the drama that comes with it is unbelievable, they are still in that "gossip, drama, popular people" stage and you need to put up with that shit, it is also weird meeting their parents if you are way older than them, and realizing her guy friends are like 17 and I am am 20 it was just weird.

And that I was legal drinking age but she had to sneak around and goto house parties and stuff.

It was cool at first but I woudlnt' expect a relationship out of it. just be careful.

ive started looking at the upside of things, and ive realized that now that i have a ton of frree time i can get in on all the things (and pussy) that ive missed out on in the past 2 years. i know it sounds bad but thinking of all those kinda things has really cheered me up. riding doesnt help much but ive been hanging out with my cousin (cool guy) and a ton of his friends (lots are girls, they are young and naive. score!)

she still on my mind a lot, but for now im just happy that it ended the way it did and not in a fight.
