  1. in my opinion PBR is the best cheap beer. i don't know, maybe it's an acquired taste. but it easily beats coors, budd, miller's, etc. but then again my opinion sucks. you guys are drinking beer for the taste and i'm drinking it to get drunk. if we were talking about wine it'd be a different story...
  2. for the time being until a grow a 'real' taste for beers, the best beer in my mind will be this: and this:
  3. ^ ^ ^ im feelin the second one of the trains.
  4. a couple b&w's i shot and developed a couple months ago. i'm new to this kind of thing by the way.
  5. yeah, kickflips are basically all timing to get them perfect so bend your knees a little lower and pop up a little higher... practice them over shit like recycling bins, garbage cans, whatever. make sure you got that nice FLICK on the front toe.
  6. vare one, either rack some new nibs or use a chalk board eraser.
  7. In my experience, the only thing fish oil does is make your ink STINK. Seriously, I can't stand that smell. The only thing fish oil is really used for in our case is getting rid of rust, which is why it's used in Rusto paint. So, if you're constantly hitting up exceptionally rusty surfaces, the fish oil could help you a tiny bit because when they buff, there may be a ghost left because there's no rust where you laid the ink down. On any other type of surface, like a metal dumpster w/o rust, for instance, fish oil will do nothing at all. My advice: forget the fish oil and get something stronger.
  8. Re: The easiest way to make a marker new and better again.. 1) You can turn old Pilots, OTRs and Zigs into mops. You can do this by disposing of the top part of the marker (the cap, nib, etc.) so that you only have the carcass where the ink is held. Than fill the marker with ink, or if it's a Pilot, over flow the felt. After that, jam a strip off of a chalkboard eraser in and get a film canister to use as your cap. You can also revive OTR/Zig's nibs by flipping them around and presto, a new nib. When both sides of the nib are worn, you can replace it with a well-shaped stripe of a chalkboard eraser, as it was said earlier in this thread. 2) Bucket paint makes for the most basic recipe. You can't use it in a marker though, you gotta put it in a mop so it'll flow. Find out if you have Latex or Oil Based. If you have latex, you might as well get rid of it because it's pretty worthless. If you have oil based, thin it out with either paint thinner / mineral spirits, turpentine or lacquer thinner. That's wack. Bleach is waterbased and paint is oil based, unless you're using latex (Fuck latex). Either way bleach makes for a shitty additive because the only thing it stains is your clothes.
  9. word. i got the hang of it now, after wasting a small bottle. i'm just keeping the bottle very close to the surface, moving my hand at the same speed all the way through and squeezing at the same pressure. cursive handstyles work good for those things.
  10. i picked up one of those acrylic squeeze bottles the other day. little did i know, that shit is kind of hard to control to get nice even lines...
  11. eraser nibs, all the way. deordorant containers beat kiwis because they have that little horizontal edge that prevents the nib from slipping...
  12. yeah baby, you should put your eraser nibs inside deodorant containers...
  13. chumbas one of the most helpful people on here. its just annoying seeing the same questions over and over. we need a FAQ.
  14. nah, it won't flow through right.
  15. I've thought of that before, although crayon's probably wouldn't be that great since they're wax based. Pastels and oil bars would be good though; and you could try melting a little off a streak into the chapstick and see how it is. A chapstick mop is about discreet as it gets... even smaller than those mini OTR's.
