I'm Amber and I'm 13 years old. I already posted my pics in this topic... *More pics to come*My favorite movies are What A Girl Wants, 8 Mile, The Hulk, Spiderman, Bringin Down The House, the LOTR movies, and the HP movies.

[T_Biggs]

Sorry, Hulk sucked more than the girls in Times Square. At least you like the best Marvel movie,though.

Interesting to see that the majority of people on here are teenagers.

[SFGAmfreak4life]

A few people isnt a majority.

[GamRCFreak]

It is pretty interesting. It might not be a majority, but its pretty darn close to it. It might have something to do with the fact that the teenagers now have grown up living in a "golden age" of coasters whereas the late 20yr olds and 30yr olds were growing up at the beginning of it. Most of the people on here couldnt imagine what it would be like if there was maybe one new coaster in the country every couple years. I know I couldnt. It's like the kids who grow up now will never know what its like for there not to be a terror threat. It's more of a definition of a generation. Like MTV was when it first started. Could you imagine today without MTV? maybe a few could. I myself dont watch it, but I still could not fathom what it would be like without it.There is also the fact that teenagers have more opportunity to go to an amusement park. Not many people with a 9 to 5 can make 20 trips to an amusement park per year. Some people are very fortunate and are able to. But most cant. Teenagers on the other hand are mostly in highschool or college and have a lot more free time on their hands. ie..summer vacation. I bet if you looked in areas with year round schooling, you would find a much smaller amount of RC enthusiasts than in an area of the same size that has school/summer vacation.

I heard about this on WGN Radio earlier today. A group of guys are walking from Chicago(St. Charles) to San Franciso. They're planning on the trek taking about 3.5 months or more. Last I heard, there was no real 'purpose' for the trip. Here's a link to their website with journals:http://youguysarestupid.com/Apparently, they came up with the site-name when people said to them 'You guys are stupid' about the 2000+ mile walk.

[TwistedSTEEL666]

I have some pics of me here.http://groups.msn.com/piccis/pics.msnw?albumlist=2

:shock: eek! I can see the camera does NOT like you!

[coasterzak]

See, it seems to me like most people on this site are younger. Maybe I got the wrong impression.

Im Dave, 19.Anybody here a Wrestling fan??

I used to be a huge WWF (now WWE) fan. But, I don't like it that much any more. But, I do try to catch it every week.

[CoasterDave316]

I don't think many people like it currently. WWE on the other hand thinks having Triple H never lose the World Title will somehow make us like it more. But its alot of crap now, with barely any wrestling and bad storylines.Take last nights Raw for example if anybody saw it. There were about 3 or 4 matches that lasted under a minute long. Then Kane losing his mask was so stupid, he should have won the title. I just hate whoever is writing these shows now, they make the show make no sense. Kane has had his mask taken off a few times in the past without showing his face, but when he took his mask off his hair never went with it. I wouldn't have minded the whole Kane losing his mask thing, if his hair didn't come off with it. That was just stupid.

[SFGA 11]

Yeah, I agree with you completly. In the late '90's WWF had great plots, matches, etc.. and thats why it was so popular but now most of the plots are stupid.Did any one see Sammy Sosa's mammoth home run today? That was incredible.

[SFGAmfreak4life]

Im a WWF fan not a WWE fan. 2000 or so the plot started to get so stupid. Ive been catching it here and there ever since. I think its better now but its still not the same.

[GamRCFreak]

The reason the shows were better then was because the WWF/E had competition. Be it WCW or ECW, or others, competition made the product a lot better.If you go and check out some of the Independent shows, they are a lot better than the high budget ones just because of the storylines. The one that I go to as much as I can is called PCW and is located in Oak Lawn, IL. They just recently had both the Road Warriors and Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka at the same show. The tickets are only $10. It's so much fun. You get the chance to get to know the wrestlers too. At the intermission and after the show the wrestlers are all out amongst the fans. My friend and I are thinking about going to their wrestling school there too. It's a great way to get into some of the regional feds. Here is a link to the website: PCW ChicagoIf anyone wants to meet up sometime to go to a show, I would be happy to go.

[NegativeGeez]

ever since my boy mick foley retired, the wwf (i will NEVER call it wwe) has been on the downward spiral. i kept watching for a while, but gave up on it when they decided wrestling wasnt as important as boobies. dont get me wrong, i like boobies, but when i tune in to see wrestling, thats what i want to see....wrestling.i miss ECW a helluva lot. last night whilst flipping around the channels, i came across MLW (major league wrestling) and i was shocked/delighted to see joey styles, masato tanaka, and mike awesome. they also did a promo for thier next event which was to feature many other former ECW alum, including terry funk, sabu, dusty rhodes, and plenty more...i hope i can catch it again sometime...they actually were wrestling and stuff.

[chiatrain]

I used to watch WWF awhile ago, in the age of Ultimate Warrior, Bret Hart, the dark Undertaker, and such. I used to have a few toys and my friend had the toy ring, but I lost interest somewhere in the mid-1990s(somewhere after the first King of the Ring).And, Sammy Sosa was great last night. But, the Wood-Grudzielanek-Gonzalez triple HRs was equally awesome.

[RagingBullDude13]

<----Southsider. Go Sox, our players don't cheat, then deny it. The Sox beat the Cubs in the first series and they are about to do it again.

[SFGA 11]

The WWF's best years were in the late 80's and early 90's with Hulk Hogan and them and in the late 90's with Stone Cold STeve Austin, the Rock, Mick Foley, and the classic D Generation X. Suck it! Those were the good old days.

[SFGAmfreak4life]

In another topic CD316 said that they banned the piledriver and the tombstone piledriver. I love those moves. Especially when the old cool Undertaker did the tombstone. Does anyone remember those good old casket matches. Those were the good old says.

[chiatrain]

Yeah, I liked the casket matches with Undertaker. The one I remember watching was the one with Undertaker v. Yokozuna. I don't know when these Buried Alive matches came about, but I'm not a big fan of those.

[SFGA 11]

Yesterday I watched the " Best Of SUrvivor Series" and i saw that match with Yokozuna Vs. Undertaker, I wish they would have matches like those again. Any one remember the inferno matches? I liked it better when they had Kanes character as Undertakers evil brother. Now Undertaker is a biker and now Kane talks.

[NegativeGeez]

a couple of the many reasons why i dont watch anymore.i think they banned the pile driver when owen hart broke steve austin's neck doing one. it resulted in the single worst rollup pin in wwf history, too.
