RockCoach Posted August 12, 2008 Share I'll never understand why mountain bikers think they're so cool.On the road the obstacles weigh 1' date='600kg, travel at 100kph on the wrong side of the road and are piloted by drunk and/or high drivers.Mountain biking? A piece of dirt, sitting still, doing nothing, static, waiting to be ridden over at your own choice of speed. Wow. The adrenalin rush is awesome. Pish tosh.And when you fall? Nice soft dirt you can slide over and get a few scratches that you mommies have to wipe with Dettol. On the road you donate skin/flesh/muscle/bone. Off road when the piece of dirt flings you off you break a collarbone - wow - knarly. On road you get stuck between the rear wheels of an 18 wheeler. See? Proof that mountain bikers are tree hugging pansies. You should take up golf - the ball doesn't move at all. Tennis is probably too scray for you - AAAARGGGHHH the ball moved - get me my full face helmet!!!! [/quote']Oh shut up! There aren't many riders who'd get stuck behind you on a technical uphill or downhill either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldron Posted August 12, 2008 Share Oh shut up! There aren't many riders who'd get stuck behind you on a technical uphill or downhill either. Bloodie poncey roadies cruising around on their R100,000,000 show room condition squeaky clean carbon twigs. Oooooh look how light it is - only 59g for the whole bike - I can't ride it in crosswinds though because the force of the moving air will snap it in half. Have you seen my new shoes? R5,000,000 Tour de France Cadel Evans replicas - sure the plain version is only R3,000 but the extra R4,997,000 is worth it to make my coffee shops mates green with envy. Anyway I have to go home now - it looks like it might rain in 3 weeks and I want to be home before then in case I get wet plus I need to shave my legs and oil them so they look good for my next 25km ride. Softies. The lot of them. How you doing Mr. L? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtbreath Posted August 12, 2008 Share During the past months of reading posts on the Hub' date=' I really started to ''like'' Mampara and actually thought that I could learn from his comments. Mampara, to me you sounded wise and I actually would have liked to meet you, and chat with you. I know you will not have sleepless nights about loosing a potential friend, but I must say that your attitude in this post really sucks, and I do not like you anymore. I think you are full of pride and actually are a fool. Enjoy your day. Good luck to all the beginner MTB,s out there! [/quote'] Frenchy, I think I get it now. What I do not yet know is whether you are more annoyed that Mampara didn't peel you off the floor or he didn't like your yellow booties. In all seriousness you need to know what to take seriously and where to draw the humour from. The roadie/mtb thing has been going ever since ..... well ever since and although there are serious undertones the general vibe is to prod and poke each other. Don't know your level of riding but frankly it is irrelevant as we all ride because we enjoy it. I have been mountain biking for close on 20 years and chewed a bit of dirt as recently as yesterday afternoon. I am neither highly skilled nor ultra fit but then I dont pretend to be.

RockCoach Posted August 12, 2008 Share I don't get the roadie vs MTB thing. For me it's like F1 vs WRC. We do both as hardcore as we know how. Both are very different and are enormous fun. Although these days I've realised that lycra belongs with the road bike and baggies on the trail. Does a much better job of protecting expensive bibshorts when you plant it. How you doing Mr. L?I'm good but busy. How's the classified search going on "Project J."? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
