[Matt D]

Haha! Strangely similar to some threads here! :)

[Brian Peterson]

But in the meantime, the bulb still hasn't been change because they all had to read the latest response to the original thread....

Brian

[Slugman]

Shouldn't this be in the 'lounge' not the 'downhill' forum :sneaky:

[The Kadvang]

I don't see what light bulbs has to do with mountain biking :confused:.



















































(Yes, Scarcasm)

[WestCoastHucker]

But in the meantime, the bulb still hasn't been change because they all had to read the latest reponse to the original thread....

Brian
umm...

its' response... :eviltongu

[Brian Peterson]

Oops... Need more coffee....

Brian

[binary visions]

Plus:

2 to claim the lightbulb looks flexy
5 to refute those claims and indicate that they've USED said lightbulb, and the new filiment makes it stiffer then last year's.

2 or 3 to make tired jokes asking if they will make a lightbulb for freeriding, and to suggest that the lightbulb might be stronger if it came in rootbeer.

1 to launch into a story about how he was looking at this light bulb, but then noticed that his fusebox has a short, therefore directing the conversation into one of good and bad fuses.

1 to bring up the fact that he made a lightbulb, but that several electricians were unsatisfied with its dimming capabilities, and that said electicians should go to hell.

And, of course:

1 to state that nobody would need lightbulbs if we all just listened to him and ran Hopes. :D

[Westy]

That lightbulb looks flexy.

[binary visions]

That lightbulb looks flexy.

I win.

:eviltongu

[DamienC]

GE light bulbs are the BEST...but I've never used one.

[Westy]

I win.

:eviltongu


Give me a break, I only have one functional hand, I type slow these days. I should keep "looks flexy" in my clipboard so it is only a CNTRl V away.

[manhattanprjkt83]

wow, im too hung over for this

[WestCoastHucker]

what's the biggest bulb that will fit in the socket??

[Kornphlake]

All super t's and junior t's 2001 and older are 6" only...
























You forgot one to post a response to the wrong thread.

[MTBkid]

I think everyone with over 1000 posts just sit in the darkness of their moms basement not thinking about the "light bulb" while everone else is out riding.


Otherwise that would be a great joke if I could remember it.

[Spitfired]

How many dirty stinkin' apes does it take to change a light bulb?


Three: One dirty stinkin' ape to change the bulb, and two to throw feces at each other!

[nicklin]

add these:
6 race for it short track style around the table, 12 race it xc around the block, 2030 race it dh style from the second floor, and 1 that calls for a pizza for the pit crew, then have the host's 12 year old son get frustrated and finally do it.

1 to change, 234 to say "I used the philips light bulb that was intended for lighting for bungy cord jumping and it broke, so all philips bulbs suck as evident since my buddy snapped the crown doing a 20 ft vertical drop to flat" then have 3 or 4 people strike them back for being improper abuse of equipment.

1 to order, then wait 2-4 months for the shipper to mail it the right address.

1 to change, then have the greens to complain the light bulb is killing mother earth and 4 who act as riot police to spray the greens with rants.

yeah

does GE make a lightbulb for FREERIDING?

[Pat...]

Do you know how much travel those GE ones have? My friend bottomed out hard going off a 10' drop onto a sidewalk and broke the filament.

[SK6]

Man you forgot about this:

Three to say that light bulb sucks and you should use brand x, and if you don't your an asshat.

Lots of those. :rolleyes:

[Pat...]

Well, the GE ones ones obviously suck as my friend broke one. What's the BEST brand?

[freeridekid]

and a billion more to add that they forgot this and that tired old joke

[krustydude]

haha, this is the coolest thread ever marty.

[binary visions]

and a billion more to add that they forgot this and that tired old joke
Gee, that was really creative and witty. Have you ever considered a career in comedy?

You could stand up on stage and say, "Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Tired old joke you've heard before! Fresh new joke... punchline. Stupid comment about fresh new joke."

:rolleyes:

4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's

thats me

[Pat...]

What model is that? Have you seen any reveiws? I looked on mtbr, but I wasn't sure which model it is.

[habitatxskate]

im confused

[bizutch]

You left:
1 Douchebag posting that they tried the lightbulb too, start their own thread saying it broke and sucks and no one should use said bulb b/c customer service didn't answer the phone on the first ring or respond to their email in 30 seconds (cause they know the company's online).
1 Sponsored electrician for the lightbulb company to chime in with the contact information of the company and mention "I just got off the phone with them"

1 Response from Butch in every thread.


There now...thread over!

[SK6]

Or this:

"Well Pinkbike says 300."

or

"That light bulb is not raked out TOO bad..."

[SK6]

Oh and one more,

"That light bulb is a bit flexy"

[Tenchiro]

What lightbulb should I get for the A Line at Whistler?

[Pat...]

http://www.atruereview.com/LED_Lightbulbs/01.jpg
A LED light buld would be best on A-line. They aren't too heavy, so they can be thrown around in the air. My friend's friend rode one on a trail like A-line at Mammoth. My friend said his friend liked it. I haven't ridden one though.

The LightWiz looks like it would be good for stuff like Northstar as its so burly.http://home.psouth.net/~meep/bulb.jpg

[ridiculous]

gentlemen i believe the correct term is "Lamp"

[mxer338]

all of you need to shut up and get avy lightbulb's

craig just told me that the new line will be waterproof and have external dimmers

[road2nowhere]

im a forum lurker and i say flurecent light bulbs work best

[EVRAC]

[SK6]

Light beer....Duh....:rolleyes:

:p

[Jump Chump]

filaments are so 2004.

everyone knows Energy Stars are the ****.

damon

[Rip]

1 to say what's a light bulb, I'm still using candles.

[Netwelle]

3 to ask what prototype is dave using from team GE? Is that the new 2009 model?

[DarrylB]

that "lamp" is too heavy, you will save three grams by changing to a "-------" lamp

[MtnbikeMike]

i love lamp

[SofaKing]

We all have to have the same light bulb that Sam Hill uses.

[Damo]

mk8gTYwnFb4&feature=related

[Eren]

:imstupid:

[dw]

does GE make a lightbulb for FREERIDING?

haha :)

[PDS RX]

These are new for 2009 pinkbulb had a test sample on them

[Netwelle]

What is a good beginner lamp? I am just starting out lighting my way.

Is my lamp good enough to do extreme lighting?

[PDS RX]

your going to need a surge protector for anything extreme

[Jm_]

How many points of engagement does the socket have?

[OGRipper]

Hahaha, awesome, but where's the dude who posts three pages of pictures and babble about completely disassembling a perfectly good lightbulb and rebuilding it to be more plush in the small stuff and more bottomless on the big hits?

And where's the dude who first posts a thread about how awesome the year 2012 vapor-bulb will be and how fantastic that bulb company is, and then a day later posts a separate thread accusing the bulb company of getting rich by stealing his pre-order money and not delivering?

[mandown]

1 to say what's a light bulb, I'm still using candles.

...and likely riding a rigid single-speed.

does push offer services for sylvania lamps?

Not yet. Push has things in the works, but it's not yet available to the masses.
