money cant buy you skills

[kamikaze]

money cant buy you skills - this guy spent upwards of R30 000 on a 29inch mountainbike, but gave up 5 minutes into the ride at Van Gaalens cheese farm. There were about 10 riders of various skill levels on this ride, and ALL of them were awestruck by how unsportsmanlike this guy acted when things weren't going "HIS way" - his reaction is funny never the less!

 

in the end i had to chase after him for 5km. after i finally managed to catch him i had to give him a 10minute pep-talk to try and get him to join us again.

we all started somewhere. give this dude some time, and after a few months of riding, show him this video again. the self doucheness will be self evident

he's been riding for a good couple of months, maybe more.

my point is, a salesman can make you believe that a piece of equipment will improve your riding, but if you are not willing to push your own limits incrementally, the whole exercise is pointless.

there were guys with less experience on the ride who did just fine.

Were you riding a 26'er? 'Cause if you were, and he is as unskilled as you say he is, and you had to CHASE him for 5 km, then it sounds like 29'ers MIGHT BE faster!

he has, and baulked at that slight decline? OI!!

He been riding country roads during those months or what?

 

But as has been said before, buying into any hype wont buy you skills.

Shame man - he was out his depth and maybe having a bad confidence day - leave the poor niner oke alone

ROFL! Damn, that wasn't even remotely technical.

 

And yeah, sense of humour failure of note. Go for skills training before trying to buy a better bike in the hope that it will make you a better rider...

Lol, I just love the way he asked his mates if this is the way the rest of the route goes in Afrikaans, then he does a half switch to English and then someone tells him in Afrikaans it gets a "bit technical"...

 

Then he gets upset and says well then "I'm going to farkaaaf"......farkaaf where exactly dude ?

 

Maybe he got peeved off because he had to arsk in Afrikaans twice and once in half English.... and it was just too tegnies fork his laaiking.

 

Funny... what a mommy's boy.
