Wyatt Earp Posted January 2, 2015 Share Please don't interpret my comments as being sarcastic. I support your vision for the uphill downhilling scene. You're a maverick, a salmon swimming against the current of popular opinion, common sense and the direction of the trail. And as you climb those courses and people shout things at you, like "HOLY **** GET OUT THE WAAAAAY!" I want you to know that as long as you believe in yourself then I believe in you. The same way you believe in me. Because when you told me that I remind you of an album by an ageing rock flutist that I had to google because I'm three generations too young for your references the title I found was called Rupi's Dance. I don't know what kind of dance it is but it sounds fabulous and I'm not going to disappoint you. I will learn that Rupi's dance for you!I was thinking more in the line of his 1972 album.I quite like what Patchelicious suggested, the 2012 title could also work. Your reference to me as a mad maverick and whatever else you could conjure up in your school romance brain you have with me makes it quite clear that my view is totally lost on you, unless you are of course a "downhill demon" who rides blue trails and tells all his mates how hardcore he is and refers to the trail with words like "it was gnarly" and "rad man" The fact that others have a good understanding of what I was referring to and you fail to do so, makes that 1972 album title so sweet . Yes folks, the google is not strong in this one, which is quite surprising for someone who is" three generations too young" to know about Ian Anderson.

Wyatt Earp Posted January 2, 2015 Share not his - he had a flipped stem on his. Dude ,I would have been seriously peeved if you and Marko bullied some pensioner in to selling his overpriced and under engineered Italian named bicycle.Thank heavens for that stem .

Eldron Posted January 2, 2015 Share I'm all for DH only trails. Smacked a few at Jonkershoek and enjoyed the fact that you don't have to worry about someone coming the other way - allows you to relax and focus more. Ok they weren't hectic DH cos I could do them on a hardtail with my skill set but still - it's nice being able to smash it without constantly checking the horizon. Maybe a good idea is to put some drop offs right near the exit so climbing up is impossible without dismounting or riding deep into the forest. At Jonkers everything was labelled quite clearly so definitely no "I dirrint know" defence.

Matchstix Posted January 2, 2015 Share Maybe after flipping you off, he flipped his stem back? Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/146221-to-the-57-year-old-bianchi-methanol-rider/page/15/#findComment-2510023 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyatt Earp Posted January 2, 2015 Share I would have felt a bit bad as well, mate.Hehehe, I was really just kidding I get your opening post and understand the frustration.I just fear that I might have done the same as the old toppie not knowing the trail and not seeing any markings. For him to carry on like a palooka, well that seems to be the name of the game in the world of MTB at the moment, that my friend is why I avoid most of the controlled trails .

Sure you can do better than the overworked Yoda accent. I feel it's only fair you have another shot. Seats!
