looks sick and you seem to have regained a respectable amount of seatpost and shitty paint!

WD stands for water displacer so it is in fact the opposite of a lubricant. WD40 is helpful in some applications but is for the most part something that doesn't need to be close to a bicycle.

So what you're saying is that it has its uses, exactly as I implied?

got a flat, fixed it 3 damned times and it still wasn't fixed. god darn it, that sucked so hard. we also were with like 12 people so i wanted to ride so badly but nope.jpeg, had to just cruise with a regular Kuwahara womans bike... oh well, will fix it tomorrow.

Got to take the Marv out for a proper ride today. I said i didnt really notice the head tube angle when i just messed around on it in the front garden. However riding it properly today trying to get into nose manuals compaired to my friends bike is worlds apart, its ALOT easier.

Actually pulled something worth filming, pretty made up with myself as I'm just starting to get some skills and confidence back after hardly riding the last few years

Missed my back peg on a 180 to backwards double on an out ledge with a probably 8 foot drop. All the way down to my lower back... Hurt worse than breaking my leg.

Me & my good friend (Newstead on here) built some weird ass little ramp set up out of all the wood & concrete slabs we could find in my back garden/garage & had loads of fun jumping it, manualling it & trying to nose manual it!

rear wheel was super spongy so i tightened all the spokes a half turn... well about 3/4ths of them, the other 1/4th has seized/deformed nipples from building the wheel w/o grease

I did my first ever 720 cab. Stoked. Next up, 900...

Went to re-spray a few parts black and my back tire has deflated.
Im guessing its the heat? checked the tube and it looks like how it comes out of the packet. Never seen a tube come out like that before.

What are the odds the air has just leaked out totally as I cant see any damage and I crushed t as much as I could underwater (no pump) and didnt get any bubbles..

Annoying as fuck though.
