Check out this video! The guy jumps his 1/8 over a school bus (the long way) and flips it too. The last flip is my favorite because it's pretty controled and he lands it!

SPAM

By HobZob

Nobody likes SPAM. Well, we can't speak for the stuff in a can, but we do know that nobody likes e-mail SPAM. We want you all to know that we do not intentionally SPAM you--we think SPAM is annoying too. That being said, if you feel you're getting SPAMed by us, we apologize, it's not something we control manually, it's something YOU control.

If you consider getting e-mail alerts about activity on your Hobzob account SPAM, you just need to change the settings on your account. Hobzob functions just like Facebook; when you sign up, you are automatically registered to recieve e-mail alerts and just like on Facebook, you have to unsubscribe from these alerts if you don't want them. Some people like them if they don't always have time to get to Hobzob so they can still see what's going on. Others, prefer to not get alerts and just see what's new when they actually get to the site. It doesn't bother us one way or the other which you prefer, but we do care if you feel that you're getting SPAMed by us. To stop receiving e-mail alerts, all you have to do is:

1. Click "edit account" in the gray box under your profile picture on your workbench.

2. Scroll down until you see the zip code box. Under the zip code box are two smaller boxes that have check marks in them.

3. Read those options by those boxes and choose weather or not you want them to apply to you. If you don't want to receive e-mail alerts about activity on your Hobzob account, simply uncheck the first box--it's that easy. The second box you can uncheck will unsubscribe you from our weekly newsletters.

4. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click "update/save changes."

If you choose to stop receiving e-mail alerts, it should solve your "SPAM" problem. If at any time you change your mind, you can always begin to receive e-mail alerts again by re-checking those boxes.

As far as messages that you receive in your in-box on Hobzob from groups you belong to, we cannot control those messages (unless they're coming from one of our groups, but we make sure we don't send them often). We just thought we'd pass along those helpful tips so nobody feels like they're getting SPAMed by anyone on the site because that's definitely not our intention. If you still feel like you're getting SPAMed please contact us to help you resolve the issue.

Thanks to all our members, we love having you here and we want to make sure Hobzob is a pleasant place for you to spend your time!
