Cruz Addict Posted April 15, 2012 Share Ok so before I start I need to state that I ride a mountain bike, love my sport and am, I believe very patent with non experienced riders, I wait and help wherever I can. That being said I now have to rant about stupid slow idiots that buy a mountain bike and get off at the slightest little technical section or mud, it's a frikken mountain bike you tjops it's meant to get dirty and be ridden over the bump not walked!!!!!!! This toy throwing session is thanks in no small part to all the weekend not-so-warriors that enter races to walk through the frikken south african bush rather than ride as "it's to technical and dirty". at the risk of being taken to pieces piss off and buy a road bike!!! Referring in particular to the bottle necks experienced this weekend at the USN cup race and other races. Sincerely those that ride their mountain bikes.

Nettie R Posted April 15, 2012 Share Dude, why were these "slow" riders ahead of you at the bottleneck, if you're so hot on the bike?Perhaps try to pitch up early on the start line and try and stay ahead of them. Problem solved.

Nettie R Posted April 15, 2012 Share 94.7mtb race is over subscribed, it takes one person to stop at a section and every one has to get off their bikes. One day you'll walk over a section and you'll be thankful for the other riders' patience with you stoppage.

flymango Posted April 15, 2012 Share I say each unto their own. If you're out there on a bike doing your thing, good for you!! As long as you're having fun, who cares if you are racing or walking. Of course it can be frustrating when things don't go your way, but heck, that's the nature of the sport. Think of the bottleneck up Chappies at this year's Argus. Most MTB races have congestion in the middle and back of the field where there is some sort of technical challenge.
