Wyatt Earp Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 Okay. since the question has been asked, the thread was binned because of what some members rightly pointed out was trolling. Can I take off my serious mod hat now and get back to the fun?Yeah troll, go ahead
Lucky Luke. Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Is a freerider an XC guy who does not look good in lycra? Just trying to find a new humour angle given the thread-change.
Guest Omega Man Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Is a freerider an XC guy who does not look good in lycra?Liz Hatch is the only cyclist in the world who looks good in lycra.
manbearpig Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 I spent almost 8 hours on a 29er hardtail this weekend. I still have my own teeth with original fillings, the bowl of porridge that was once my lower back and pelvis has now knitted enough to support my full body weight and I made it out of bed this morning without popping 2 Synap Forte. I must be in the TOP 10 at least?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 FR'ers are just there to enjoy the trail. Not to time who can get to the top first.
rob_mtb Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Well, since most of us who take DH and freeride seriously train just as hard as a marathon rider, if not more, you can't define toughness by strength. The answer is easy, of course the freerider/DHer is tougher. Hands down. I'd like to see a lycra clad XC'er take on a road gap jump, or a 10 foot drop off. If you define toughness by being able to slog up a hill I'd wager that most DH'ers, if given the same carbon XC bike, will beat most. Unless of course you're also doing hard trail running, plyometrics, dedicated circuits, spinning as well as trail riding.
The expat cyclist Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 I think the question should be:If a freerider and the lycra clan walk into a bar and a fight breaks out, who will be the last man standing?
TNT1 Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Liz Hatch is the only cyclist in the world who looks good in lycra. You lying sack.http://assos.com/fileUpload/images/2700.jpg

Lucky Luke. Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 I'm not touching this one with a ten foot pole, other than to say I hope Liz Hatch keeps things on the spandex tip.
Capricorn Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Overdone...ironically underdone response..anyone else?
Smolly Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 I think the question should be:If a freerider and the lycra clan walk into a bar and a fight breaks out, who will be the last man standing?The lycra clan might lose (if they are roadies) as the will start fighting with each other about who is fitter, faster, and dont forget heart rate
Flowta Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Freerider is the guy that does the naked lap at the 24 hour
