I would like to add a third vote to this. I would also like to point out that since Rowen is a mod, i should get all rewards because I posted in this thread first.

"Invaders work fine on big jumps, I hit 60 footers all the time on mine"

I've never hit a jump larger than twenty feet, and don't know what a stiff ski feels like on a jump.

They do if you know how to ski, I have 171 invaders and 181 chronics.  Never hit any 60 footers but Thomas Doplads did on them in the x games a couple years back.

This is a recent one though:
"Help I have shin bang"
Hi, I'm the inventor of the shintronic blahblahblah.....

Not the same thing but you get the idea.
