^ cool story bro
itt heath proves he should probably get a mountain bike and put his descending peen where his mouth is and race
Dougie, same thoughts on those same descents. Numb hands, bleary mind, wet brakes, too fast.
New guy, I want to see your bikes.
Lol.
Swoop, TLDR. I’m sure I’d agree with a few things you’ve said, but I went to Great Divide for happy hour and I’m certainly not reading your long ass shit.
Edit: Dicks, jar, and things of that nature.
Still need fitness to win at that shit and I don’t want to become one of those bro-dudes that wears flatibrimmed caps everywhere. I’ll just stick to riding my motorcycle foolishly.
no. dr. wiki you really should try DH. cuz just descending. im serious, it’s really fun.
a whole discipline mainly devoted to bike handling skills.
and yes there is a strong bro contingent but doesnt make it any less great atmo
as long as there are real hills there master b cat 3 dh will be won by bike handling skills.
[quote=Swoop]no… i tried to write something that would stir enough passions that this would transcend the confines of being a local event. with the hopes that folks would react enough to just take a breath, self evauluate for a second, risk making a wrong assumption and make a superficial judgment about how they sit on a bike and intervene or modify a ride or the conversation. those comments about the stem and spacer were 2 sentences out of a long conversation.
I’d hope to pierce the unreality of bikevertising as a romantic personal experience and refocus my little piece of the conversation about the life and deathness and the kind of relaxed vigilence and judgment we all should use on each other… (something that is often easily communicated by the body on the bike) and i put it out there knowing i’d get bashed for it… because i didnt see the conversation happening in any other way… less platitiudes and feel goodisms. and I stand behind every word. i’m not diganosing an accident… i’m poking at the events that might create the next one and hopefully frustrating the reader enough that… there is a pause.
we sat around at coffee with the email about the ride on our iphones and talked about someone getting killed on the route as it was announced. that conversation hangs with me. i suppose my agenda was to get away from that hanging.
if you’re a novice and good at going downhills… you’re just lucky. give it time. check up a little… get a few years under your belt and ride with enough folks that you’re developing a skill rather than relying on the good graces of your own good balance… because when it goes wrong you’ll really not feel like you want to die like that.
everyone is so fucking afraid of being a beginner… when its the best thing in the world to be.
and if you’re planning a ride to promote a brand… it doesnt have to be an epic or dangerous to be amazing. there so much amazing here and no reason for that route. common sense isn’t for haters. the provocative language is just to make the read worth the readers time. feelings and passions are good stuff… don’t run away from them either.[/quote]
Listen dick head, this is tarckbike, we only do 3-4 sentences without doing a line break. now fuck off with these novels of yours.

I’ve done some of the local DH trails on a hardtail. It’s awesome, but I’m guessing it’s nothing like the chairlift DH business with the super full-squish bikes. I could give it a whirl but that seems like another hobby and I don’t need more.
Take that hardtail to Pacifica. I have friends who do those trails on hardtails, but much of it is what most of us would consider bigbike-appropriate. You’d probably have fun.
You nasty.
