LOL sliders are serious bussiness syfon :thumbsup:

Yeah I do wear protective gear, I was foolish enough to take it for a ride in my boxer shorts the day I got it, rolled it over n scrapped up my shoulder lol.

At the moment I am riding the slider at belmont skate park, it's quite fun riding up the half pipe and sliding..

Skyrian- you want a ride then come down :rolleyes: ... I get asked all the time by randoms if they can have a turn. I warn you tho its extremely addicitve fun.

dude, its not one way, and ergo probably way dangerous, but there is a fav road of mine in the back of Kelmscott, that I have ofetn thought would be completely mad fun to do this with a slider (I am too old, and ergo too cowardly to actually try this)

the map doesnt show anywhere near how twisty this mofo really is.

Also try checking out Crystal Brook Road from the Welshpool Rd East end. :thumbsup:

Cheers for the linky stinky rooster, I will have to check out the road soon. Should come for a slide bud, skin grows back and bones can heal :)

Zig zag is one way, but sometimes idiots drive up it the wrong way tho. I caint think of any where safer to go.

It reads as a funny story now, but wasnt so funny at the time lol, actually hurt quite a bit going flying accross the gravel. Haven't had a stack like that since I was about 10.......

The huffy slider actually got discontined from retail shops because it was to dangerous, to many children getting hurt... Defantely not a childs toy LOL... Come have a ride rowan lol.

Do you still do Kmax? I might come down tommorow night and give it a go.

Have you ever actually been to the zigzag?!? Also, going to Crystal Brook Road is likely to get yourself on the ear end of me driving home making 'gate sounds to amuse people.

..... So nobody has commented on the hilarity of a grown man riding a kids trike in his underpants in public??

... Then FALLING OUT of his kids tricycle??? IN HIS UNDERPANTS???

H'aint nothing funny about being downright sexy in public my friend.

Keep the sugestions coming people.. I would be willing to head out into the country side for that dream road... I was thinking the road where peter brock died has some pretty good downhill road.

Timothy I wouldnt even your lil wastegate over the roaring power of huffy slider. :) :)

UNLEASH THE BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh wow that's actually a good idea... just make sure it's the one way ones... like his majesty's..

because roe street is two way and all the "baller" vietnamese guys like to hammer their NA silvias through it...

...cool man?

also the other benefit is, there's a lift to the top floor... so you don't have to ride your hard to ride action bike all the way up there!

Nar dont want a real go-kart, I am content with my slider. It really is a lot of fun.

Erik what is this "panda" you speak of? Post vids/pics...

Rowan- I know of 1 of the muli story car parks is 1 way. I think its on the right of roe if your heading towards the river .

Anyone gotta a spare camera? Gotta film this tokyo drift shit.

This guy has the rite idea.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
