Another thread ruined by MPD's prejudice. Now I remember why I used to have him on ignore.

Apparently it's racist that cinemas are choosing not to show Blue Story. Rolling Eyes

Just as a contrast I bumped into a gang of "young hoodlums" in London today. There's a gang of kids (10~15yo) that wheelie their bikes up and down Southwark Street. I'm only in town a few times a week but I always see them if it's the weekend or school holidays.

They liked my bike (no sense at that age obviously!) and I was quite surprised how well maintained their bikes were (mostly mountain bikes, 27 & 29ers.)

No front brakes though Thinking

Apparently they want the front wheel to spin freely as they wheelie about and I can only guess that there's some sort of bonus system for not only "popping dank nooners" but also keeping the front wheel spinning while doing it. Baffling, the minds of the young!

Luckily I knew enough about push bikes to keep a conversation going but I could see someone else feeling a bit intimidated being surrounded by half a dozen delinquents Smile

One of my courier mates trolled a wheelie crew the other day, calling them one trick ponies, popped a wheelie on his fixie, then did a hands free track stand, and pedalled backwards in a circle hands free, then bunny hopped up and down a flight of steps. To be fair, they were rather in awe of it and made grunts of approval

Is that machete real or photoshopped? It looks to have no detail or colour variation. Also, that's the worst cock-and-balls sketch I've ever seen.

Blue Story: UK cinema ban called 'institutionally racist'

If there was institutional racism wouldn't they have refused to show the film nationally in the first place?

It's still available at other cinemas anyway.

Racism is never going to go away as long as the so called victims use it as the 'get out of jail free' for any sleight, real or imagined.

The film was pulled because gang members went to see it and then a fight broke out witch involved the risk of young kids going to Frozen being hurt. It wasn't pulled because it was about blacks but because gangs caused the fights. To try and link that with institutional racism is bloody ridiculous and everyone knows that but are frightened to say anything because that in itself would be shouted out as racist. Rolling Eyes

Saying that, if blacks stopped stabbing each other and having gang fights then the police could stop 'picking' on them with stop and search and house raids.

Bit like pikeys screaming that they are hated because they are travellers. No they are hated because they are thieving horrible scum who if they acted like normal human beings they wouldn't get the grief from the general public.

It's always someone else's fault.

The gyroscopic effect of the front wheel spinning helps to keep the bike upright, which is why it's much easier to wheelie at high speed and distance wheelie specialists often use a dynamo to keep the front wheel spinning at low road speeds.

It's physics innit Laughing

I hated Choppers. They were the cycling equivalent of flared trousers. Thank god for the new wave! Drain-pipe trousers and racing bikes.

Really? Would you really spend that much on an old push bike, even if it was a chopper.. Reminds me a one of the 'odd' lads at school, he'd taped the Knight Rider theme tune, and taped a band of red flashing light to the front of his chopper, and would ride around the streets with the theme tune blaring from his portable tape player, and his lights flashing !! Laughing Laughing Ahh, the memories

Grifters looked good, early MTBs i suppose but I can remember always having to wait for the guy on a Grifter to catch up on bike rides with mates.
