Dumbass mountain bikers!!!!!

[TNT1]

Ok so give me your methodology here, act like a dick ride like a dick be a dick? you still no 756 you are just now making it clear that your a dick?

 

Honestly i didnt peg you down as one of those.......

 

No, I'm not.

I don't have a $&@ or any other attitude.

I like going as fast as I can irrelevant of whether I end top 10 or no.

There is no nostalgic club of "how things used to be."

The only thing that makes you a MTB rider is if you think you are one.

Cyclists pedal.

Smug pricks spew rubbish about being in some mythical brotherhood which is now being over run by roadies.

Fact is most new MTB riders were never roadies and serious road enthusiasts are too busy training to care.

 

More or less what he said.

 

Same as I've said before.

 

Be that as it may, it's in part due to the attitude of the "brotherhood that never was" that I sold my mtb. I'll stick to jukskei and tiddlywinks from now on.

The @#$#@ statemnet was aimed at the general mentality not at you, so take some valiums and relax a little. And your last sentance you basically admit to everything that was said in the previous post de facto creating a type of farternatity, which it is if you want it to be or not. Same as Down Hill riders, Motocross riders, Road Cyclists, Mountainbikers they all have similar ideals in their group and thats one of the factors why they do it.

 

And the only thing that makes you a MTB rider is grinning ear to ear and challanging yourself and enjoying it mate, Doesnt make a smidge difference if your elite or if you have to walk around a switchback, as long as that person is having a ball, people like the OP will just have to deal.

 

Um... OK.

Reading the last few posts, I figured it out. The mtbers generally act like Christians. To paraphrase, if they call themselves mountain bikers, count me out.

Go walk some more. I Do.

I think your missing the point, its not about going fast or going slow its about having fun. So i refer back to my previous points made, if your not a top 10 or even a top 20 rider drop the @#$#@ attitude. Im pretty well seeded in most races and i hardly ever have congestion problems, but sometimes i ride with mates from the back in races, and those are the ones thats an absoulute blast, you mingle you chat, make friends, fix other peoples bikes that dont know any better and have a bloody good day out on the bike.

 

If your number 756 out of 4000 and some dude falls in front of you and you get cheesed of at him,,,, im sorry mate that makes you the biggest @#$kwad out there.

 

If you want to go to race make sure your A or B seeded. otherwise go and have some fun in the sun rain mud mist whatever the flavour is that day, your not that important that you can diss some guy thats A firstly fitter and stronger and ahead of you, because you think your technically apt.

 

Yes i also agree if you dismount or walk try and do it off the racing line, and people arent doing that just politly ask them if you can have track or have the line, they always oblige. But if your going to be a prick about it, like the OP then FTW i hope he walks 25 out of 30km on his next race. He is obviously a noob to racing and has a shait seeding.

Sherbert, I've been racing for two years, what I like to think is racing, and I get what the OP is getting on about. Just get out the way, noobie or not its simple. Are people that stupid that before a race that nobody talks and tells you whats expected.

You're on, just don't complain when I make you look like an amateur

Can I keep riding my MTB, please? I still wear bibs, white shoes and do the kremetart, I promise.

Not kidding about the white SIDIs, just couldn't help myself!

If you want to pass me, you'd better expect to WORK for it.... Might not run wide in the corners like in F1 but I'm not going to disappear into thin air for some come-from-behind doggy style wannabe racer!

Yes people are that stupid Caerus, they have no idea as to what etiquette is or what they should do in situations like that, well in the back echelons of the races at least once you start doing 50+km races people have generally attended a couple of races before and you dont get that sort of thing happening since you end up being seeded and riding with people more or less your own capability. I only found that on the short races when i started and when i attempted the longer races and i was still at the back of the pack. Once your in the middle to front of the pack you hardly ever get that type of scenario.

 

And till your good enough to ride with people who know what they are doing, simply ask the oblivious people nicely to give track. They will shift. And if your serious about getting a result in certain races. then make sure your seeded at the top. I use a specific race as my benchmark race, I have to travel to three races before that one, one in knysna, and two in the karoo, to work on my seeding for my target race. Costs a fortune but thats one of the few races a year that I want to be in top of pack. And thats just becuase its my personal goal to achive a good result.

 

If i pitch up and i havent seeded myself and I start in HH then i only have myself to blame if im stuck behind people that dont know any better.

That's the only way

That's the only way

 

Dont make no diff after 10km they will be off brown sidi's

SIDIs are for road dude. The Tarmac! Their carbon soles don't go near my Zaskar.

[Wyatt Earp]

if your not a top 10 or even a top 20 rider drop the @#$#@ attitude.

 

Even if you are top 10 or 20, there is no need for attitude, always be polite when you want to pass.

But if some dimwit screams track behind me, he can wait.

I hear what you and everyone else thats had a go at the OP, but, and its the big but, even that person in HH group that still wants to race and has an expectation to possibly do so without a problem trying to pass a noobie because a slight bump or divit in the road made them get off.

Its a race, learn before you enter, if not then ride the shorter, easier, less technical races. If this was any other race in another disipline would you behave the same, do I enter a bodyboarding/ surfing contest without knowing how to swim?

[Cyclenatic]

I understand the 94.one!!! that was bad, and i did not start at the front cos its a seeding event!did not have a seeding so ended up in b7... finished 40th so all good!
