Just read this thread and I have no idea what you 2 are talking about except for a passing reference to ice hockey:laugh1:

Its ok bobh we havent a clue what were talking about either

i used to practice KRAV MAGA,but was always getting home too late for the class:confused1:

 

i might have a go at GOSHINKWAI,where the class is closer to home..

Yeh its the time thing thats the biggest issue , and tiredness when you get home . Would be good to learn some of those techniques though .

:thumbup:

mma graham:thumbup:

Enjoyed the UFC on espn but cancelled my subscription when they ditched the ice hockey I do miss it ( fancy actually learning some mma myself )

Do a thread search on this , i think it was possibly me that started it . There was good answers the best being get shot

PS.. pull over , switch off engine . Wait couple minutes , restart , wait till black smoke dissappears thats it sorted ( till next time ) and just dont accelerate too hard

shogun vs vera.....

Think sports personality of the year will be difficult this year!

 

Although I think it will be between Ennis and Wiggins

Would seem unfair either of them missing out !!

Everyone up here is getting really into it I was really pessimistic at first but this is just great , well done to team GB .

I've registered for Sochi .. bring it on !!

I believe there may be a query as to whether he actually meant what he initially said as English is a second language to him.

I agree with this ... Watched the interview and he hadnt a clue how he was being interpreted . This situation is within the rules apparently .

Nice one

lol, rads is a slow way to ascend if you're good at srt or DdRT for sure but we knew what he ment, as with cycalists everyone has an optimum RPM and as such different riders chose higher or lower MA's.

 

Secondly, PLEASE do not use a gri-gri in a rads system, they were not designed for such and there have been several accidents with them, look at which way it is sprung...........................OPEN a gri gri is a belay device and should be treated as such just like any other stitch plate or F8

the last load of IRATA guys i saw using them was before the rig, they wanted light compact gear and they hated the ID anti-panic-descent function. after ascending or desending they locked it off with knots as they had soon realised that the gri-gri had a tendancy to slip!

 

Use an ID or a rig x stay safe people x

Your right , it is always sprung open . So i can simply replace the gri gri like for like with an id or Rig ? I would genuinely love to see some ' experts ' ascend srt if they think rads is slow , i mean how quick does it have to be

Ps . I always back it up with a french prussik as i would do with any descender just in case

Share the joke Ewen .

Rads - did you say quick to ascend?????

Why the question mark ? You know i said it . Please enlighten me . cheers

I'd be trying to find out how big the rootball is as this is obviously going to determine how big a hole needs to be dug ( assuming hand digging ) possible backbreaker 200-250 ?

More chance of local suppliers knowing this i would think ..

'Why? I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form'

 

I used to think like this ... but a day involving great TEAMWORK i think is one of the best feelings you can get in our industry

Sorry what is RADS?

Its just an srt system of climbing where it is possible to ascend and descend with minimum of fuss and effort using the equipment HA has described . Check out the ' Victorian Tree Industry Organisation ' website and youtube for more detailed info .

Everyone solo climbs

Key is not going out your comfort zone ALWAYS .

Two of you fold it over with a scaffold pole , then spray , half an hour tops you would get in a utilities company for that . Maximum volume per hectare printed on all chemical product labels , it is a poison after all !

I've been playing about with the RADS system lately . Very simple to install , quick and easy to ascend , great fun descending on the gri gri . Can use the gri gri from the ground for aerial rescue also . As HA says there is a bit of flamphing around involved though .

I'm suffering a bit of sleep deprevation ...your cheering on a sports village ?

Water polo ??

What is mewp?

Your pulling my chain ..
