that spunds quite cool. Will it also be in English?

If it’s a succes I’ll be doing it in english too yeah, all the original interviews are in English anyway, so that would actually save me quite a bit of translating :stuck_out_tongue:

4

I’ll start learning dutch…
I wanna read that Kris Holm interview.

My photo’s on the homepage :smiley:

Babelfish helped, but still has many errors. What the HECK does this mean: If you would have choose:

10 Or does a-who-leather walk?
Then I would know certainly for a-who-leather molars, but if you would ask ‘a-who-leather ones or bergbeklimmen?’

???

In dutch:
10. Wandelen of eenwieleren?
Dan zou ik zeker weten voor eenwieleren kiezen, maar als je zou vragen ‘Eenwieleren of bergbeklimmen?’

I want to know what a-who-leather molars means :P. Im guessing that EenWiel means one wheel or unicycle.

  1. Hiking or unicycling?
    I would surely choose unicycling, but if you would ask ‘unicycling or
    mountain climbing’?

Now this has been translated from the original English (the interview
was done in English) to Dutch, then back to English. Dustin (or Kris)
can compare the two versions.

Indeed, sorry I had to slightly cover your face with the text mate, I thought it was a rather good photo.

EenWiel means OneWheel, I’ve copied the bit of the original interview here:

10. If you had to choose: Hiking or unicycling?

I would choose unicycling over hiking, but if you asked me to choose climbing or unicycling, that would be a very difficult question to answer. Both sports have been very big influences in my life.

If you guys want I can put the english version on my site, so you can check it out.

Cheers,

Dustin Schaap

Re: EenWiel.nl - New dutch website

The website looks nice. Too bad you want that much information in
order to register. Why can’t I register without my birthdate or mobile
telephone number?

capital punishment for stupidity, but why don’t we just take the
safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Yes, please!

Ok guys, I’ve uploaded the english version of the Kris Holm interview!

You can see it here: http://www.eenwiel.nl/index.php?menuid=4&pageid=19

The information field has already been changed yesterday, it still needs your birthday though. You can’t register without it because it’s information I need, when you join the Dutch/Belgian unicyclist database you agree to put your details on the internet, no one is forcing you to join.

Cheers =D

Fair enough. Still you didn’t tell me why, though.

You might want to alter the layout of the page, so that it’s clear in
advance which fields are obligatory.
