Re: Welcome to the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!

Saw and participated in this discussion on the MegaPixieRay thread and had to share it here.
Only on RRB could there be a discussion on the correct slang to use for a banana seat.
Part of what makes this community so cool!
I think I have found the name for my Screamer build. "Nanner Puddin"

fwiw its a nana seat.....a nanner seat would be a seat for your grand mother

however its spelt...its cool as heck

Sorry but I have to disagree with you nana is your grandma and nanner is a banana

nanner

An awesome way of saying banana.
I like to eat nanners at lunch every day.

Now this is funny, a discussion on the correct slang to use for a banana seat.
Only on RRB!
I'll keep saying nanner, because banana seats are as cool as nanner puddin and nilla wafers.
NANNER NANNER BOO BOO (not to be confused with Honey Boo Boo)

Re: Welcome to the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!

I never thought about it, but If I had the welder here at home, I could enter my board tracker build in the "Anything goes" category. Its still laying in pieces, boxed up here and there :lol:

Re: Welcome to the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!

I've been keeping up with the "ANYTHING GOES" builds more than any of them, I guess it's because I'm one of those that "thinks outside the box" type people :lol:

Now I don't want to start anything (how most fights are usually started) but to say that the traditional rules folks aren't thinking outside of the box is kind of an insult to those people, but then you did admit that you aren't keeping up with the builds in traditional rules, so then it makes sense that you wouldn't know that those folks are the masters of thinking outside of the box.

Re: Welcome to the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!

Ouch! I think you just got shut down Lucas! :shock:

However, I think Lucas meant more like the trike that just showed up that is getting a dropped and drilled I beam front axle and the four wheel cyclecar by frameteam, I doubt he meant any disrespect to the other class or it's builders.

If anything the builders in "Traditional" seem to be more outside the box, as they must do it all with bolt on parts... I mean, a cake tin and cable insulator headlight? Cast resin chainguard highlights? A boys muscle bike all girlie'd up? What are you guys on???

Luke.

Re: Welcome to the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!

I think Lucas was just throwing a little trash talking smack around.
All in good fun of course.
I guess last year I was thinking inside the box when I made my own TwinFlex rear suspension with bolt ons. :mrgreen:

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Re: Welcome to the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!

What are you guys on???Luke.

I think I worked it out...

Paint fumes yeah?

Luke.

Re: Welcome to the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!

My apologies, guys. I said that wrong, I won't lie, I've looked into some of the traditional builds and seen some of the "thinking outside the box" things. Kingfish, the bike you speak of us certainly an awesome bike, I cannot lie

Yoothgeye, I've looked at your build off bike too, like what I'm seeing with it :wink:

I've looked at a few others that's in the traditional category as well.

I guess I'm more of an off the wall thinker than an out of the box thinker :lol:

I mean to make no one mad or upset, my apologies again, guys

 

[kingfish254]

Re: Welcome to the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!

Lucas, No apology needed. It's all fun and games here.
Smack talk is a good thing!

 

[yoothgeye]

Re: Welcome to the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!

No worries my friend, there just happens to be many people building within traditional rules that could easily be competitors in anything goes, but you only get to do one or the other.

Re: Welcome to the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!

Some of us compete in the traditional not because we can't think outside the box, but because we can't weld. I'd love to learn but I have a hard enough time trying to find time for all my current hobbies/sports/professional obligations. Plus my wife would have a fit if I brought home a welder because that would literally mean that nothing is junk anymore, it would just be "source material".

Re: Welcome to the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!

I love the fact that so many new people are in the Build Off this year! It's hard enough guessing what the vets are going to come up with. It adds a major "unknown" factor to the build off.

Re: Welcome to the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!

waiting on wheels to show up then i guess i should start :roll: i guess i should keep it simple haha

This is true. I don't think I'd know how far to stretch the rules of the traditional build off before it went to the anything goes category. I'm seeing some cool stuff that I like in the traditional build off though.

I cant use a welder either, so I know how that is. But I'm hoping to learn soon, and I'm hoping I have luck :?

Re: Welcome to the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!

It is unnerving taking a cut off wheel to a perfectly good frame. It took me a couple time of pulling the trigger to really put the first cut in the frame. After the first cut it seems to get easier knowing you have gone beyond the point of no return.
