Only some of us mtb'ers have fat bodies Proove it! I want some A4 sized, full-body frontal and profile shots (explicitly displaying said lack of lard).

MintSauce Posted August 11, 2008 Share I guess we can play that one both ways...? Fair is fair, no...? Anyway' date=' I ride my bike because I want to and don't give f^%$ what anybody else think!!!!

BigGuy Posted August 11, 2008 Share (hushed voice please, we're in the bush) the lesser? spotted roadie can be found way out in front right from the start of the race , soon encountered pushing his bike up the first rocky climb... also brakes a lot on the rocky descent. Does not frequent the water crossings, and moers his water wrappers at the side of the trail. Hit me you roadie scum drafting bootie granny-ring bastards.

Nope, I'm not fussy, just glad you are game to put your body on the line in order to save the reputation of mtb'ers everywhere. I am sure the whole Hub is waiting in anticipation!

dfm1 Posted August 11, 2008 Share and by girls I mean you roadies that think you can ride a MTB because you've got the money to buy one.Please go and practice and read up about it. This past Saturday I saw a guy with a bloodied face on Republic going towards William Nicol. He went over the little transition from dirt to the pavement diagonally and his rear wheel gave way and ended up with a face plant on the pavement. It must have been the yellow lycra booties that caused him to fall and not his windgatheid. MAYBE YOU MTB MOFFIES MUST FIRST LEARN TO CLIMB BEFORE TRYING TO RAG THE ROADIES, THE AVE ROADIE IS A HECK OF A LOT STRONGER TANH THE AVE MTB MOFFIE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted August 11, 2008 Share Chaser, I think it must be an SA thing then because I've never seen overseas riders wear booties offroad and Burry obviously did it when he still road here in SA. And besides, it's only roadies that can make such a simple mistake to go over a ridge at abou 10 degrees and not lift the wheels. I'm a proad roadie and know the basic rules of either going over an obsticle square or lift your wheels when you can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is 100% fair. If you can't descend and you get stuck behind some lard ass plonker on the climb on his fancy DS bike, then you desrve it (happens to me lots on my hardtail!). At least you can relax behind him and admire his beautiful over-priced Chris King hubs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted August 11, 2008 Share The real purpose of this thread was not to pour scorn on the unfortunate roadie. You see Mampara, a former roadie himself, was merely making sure that his status as a mountainbiker is not in dispute. Mampara is such a mountainbiker that he refuses to ride naked carbon, drinks Windhoek Lager on training rides, and can spot a roadie by his footwear. What a man!

Willehond Posted August 11, 2008 Share I see the newest fad on the cross country scene is to wear skinsuits (a la Burry). That must surely be worse than booties? BTW, my TransBaviaans partner wore red Lycra booties and he finished. He still gets ragged about it!Willehond2008-08-11 06:23:49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinnekop Posted August 11, 2008 Share Mampara is just pulling everyone's socks. He himself can't ride a bike. MTB or road. A undercover ballerina that is trying out the cycling thing......now THERE is a poser if I ever saw one!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammajoor Posted August 11, 2008 Share So if you fall on a MTB that makes you a roadie ?? Think it was probably the booties that gave it away.... Burry rides with booties.... Burry = roadie girl Cherise gaan jou bliksem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
