Honest Questions About Things People Do in Bike Videos

[Tumbleweed]

Good style never goes out of style. Big hucks and tricks are impressive, but they’re hardly tangible to the average rider – and it’s no surprise that videos of professionals simply riding smoothly with a bit of style go over quite well. But, this leaves me with a question: where do we draw the line between smooth style and gratuitous shralpage?

They do gratuitous shralpage because:

 

1) They get paid in one form or the other (Money, Image, Sponsors)

2) Because they can

3) Because they enjoy it

 

I, and most other avergare riders, simply ride smoothly because:

1) I get "paid", in endorfins, smiles etc.

2) Because I can only ride "smooth"

3) Because I enjoy it

 

Don't confuse the "movies" for real life......
