Flowta 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? Well of course the DHer will win, they have decent shoes. They won't be skidding all over the place, walking around like a penguin
Tumbleweed Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 ironically underdone response..anyone else? The dude who can finish a Tour with a broken collar bone.The dude who can finish a Mt St Anne run after disclocating a shoulder....the list goes on...
TNT1 Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Is a freerider one of those okes that doesn't pay his entry fee, joins in the race after a few km, goes through the finish and collects a coke and a medal anyway?
Smolly Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 If it is roadies, they will be to scared to get blood on there whites... Their own blood......?

Capricorn Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 LOL smolster.. what a way to introduce a 'third force'
Wyatt Earp Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 I just so often read how the jumpers and freeriders make insinuations that the rest don't really know how to ride or have skill.Riding something like Epic provides a wide range of terrain that requires a different set of skills as well as fitness. The guys who jump on the Spruit likewise also need a different level of skill and fitness.The dude who trains for a 24 hour also goes through a different phase during his preparation for the event, where we are talking about training weeks and days where the only option left on a ride is to vomit, but he still has another three hours of saddle time left for the day. So in short all of them are tough guys at different levels, so why the need to constantly take a jibe at the lycra clad clan as softies without skill.
jimmy hardtail Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Who is tougher, Lance Armstrong for 7 tour victories or Greg Minaar for having his shoulder dislocate in the middle of a race run, popping it back in and still coming third? I crashed a few months ago and my leg went blue and purple but I still came back and hit the same jump( when I could walk again).
Wyatt Earp Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 Freerider is the guy that does the naked lap at the 24 hourI have done that, so now I am a freerider, wait let's make that freewilly
Smolly Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 I have done that, so now I am a freerider, wait let's make that freewilly nope...you're a DANGLE

The real toughies were the folks who did DH, XC and DS all on the same weekend with the same bike years back. Just don't make 'em like they used to...
