I peruse the Forum from time to time to see what is up. There are some things that I hate and I just cant take it anymore -
1. Photos of your bike - shutter up and ride. If it aint about tech/tune who gives a rats arse? cant get a date? dork.
2. GPS - your kidding me. Who needs GPS? Wide open moors in the UK- Ok maybe, never been there, but those guys did get lost in American WW in London. Spooky. If you are on a trail that you really need a GPS to find, you dont belong on that trail. GPS is for charting courses and mapping out In n'out burger exits. "But biking is like charting a course too." Shut up! It is not. Go ride and enjoy the thrill of the wrong turn. If you are wrong ride back out. You are a consumer for the sake of consuming!
3. Full body armor - Come on. If you are wearing that stuff, there is a reason and you are really good - probably sponsored, maybe rich - your not wearing in on single track. If you are wearing it on single track, you probably have a GPS too. 9 out of 10 times just rich and you got upsold my friend - har har.
4. Monochromatic bikes - Whatever. your rich or sponsored or vain, maybe all three. If your all three then I am ok with it.
5. 6 inch of travel on single track. You People. I thought that the front shock was the end of the world. That it would open up the trails to too many people who would need less skill. Then the Dualy. Now the super Dualy trail bike. Its the parabolic ski of the bike world. People who dont know what they are doing, able to do what they couldnt do before and f-ing it up for those that do - 5 inches of training wheel. (insert mp3 of Howard Dean)
6. Photos - I dont care. A shot of your buddy boosting a log ! Shralp! Why are you posting it? You are not sponsored, cuz you wouldnt be posting on MTBR it would be in a mag, your probably vain and rich. That is a bad combo.
Thats it. Didn't mean to offend anyone, unless you took offense to it, in which case go program your GPS to find your arse. Save the sport. Dont be a dork.
