Poison Ivy Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 I tried the whale thing once and got snot all over me' date=' so I'm back to tissues and I get teased very often about still using tissues [/quote'] tip to all the tissue users (ladies).... Pep Stores male hanky's @ R3 a piece.... works wonders in your back pocket (but don't let the wind get hold of it).... and being even more crafty, I put a few drops of mint oil on it, keeps my nose open and makes breathing easier...
Wonder Woman Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Ooh, Poison I think I must try that. Maybe Spidey will then leave me alone
FanieFiets Posted October 16, 2007 Author Posted October 16, 2007 I do the whale' date=' but The position of your head and windspeed/wind direction are very important to prevent nasty stains. I think the best time to expel, is when you plan an attack. Take up the tempo, turn head, expel and sprint away from the bunch, Guaranteed the rsst of the bunch will wait a bit for the spray to dissapate before trying to chase you deown. May just be long enough to get away fro good![/quote']
Velouria Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 I have to say I don't do it while racing' date=' that's just not on especially since the ppl behind me are just as tired as I am and there months are almost certainly open...[/quote'] I do the whale technique - but sometimes have to resort to the other techniques if I am stuck in a bunch, or if like on Saturday, when that pesky motorbike kept riding in my slip - I know how he reacts when we cross the white line, I didn't want to see what he would do if I snotted on him...
Spinnekop Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Ask Kakaa about his oil. WICKED stuff! Rub that on your gloves......each time you wipe your nose with the glove......WAKE UP CALL!!!!!!!!!!! And it clears the sinusses.
Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 sometimes I also misjudge the "force" you need to get it on the guy behind you helmet, or in Fanie's case on his windshield. and when we got to the finish line, the yellow lines are dry and peel of very easy.
RABUBI Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 I once was snotblown by 101%, made me 50.5% stronger on the day.RABUBI2007-10-16 07:51:58

The only problem I have about using tissues is that when they are all snotty in your back pocket they don't dry out because they keep absorbing your sweat. So when you reach into your back pocket looking for a gel and you find something soft and squishy you pull it out and without looking atttempt to bite the corner off......

SlickSticker Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 I find it helps to keep back the urge of whale blowing just a little longer. Then when the time is right, you blow like never before! You clear out both nasal passages with one blow. BUT, if that goes wrong you are in for a bad one so make sure its backed-up enough!
steve Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Us MTBers have the perfect solution. Simply stop, get off, peel a tyre off a rim and blow it all out into the inside of the tyre and voila ...... instant slime, no more punctures. Other people blow it into a little plastic bottle and then sell it to bike shops. Depending on the type of cold it is also often marketed as a chain lube ideal for the 'snotiest' conditionssteve2007-10-16 13:47:32

1hill@aTime Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 yip it is pretty gross.. FF you have mail
ShortLegs Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Proper etiquette dictates, one should point down to the ground at the intended direction, move slowly in that direction after checking for any bike-haters passing at 195kph, close the opposing nostril with your forefinger and after lifting arm, expel the aforementioned snot. More experienced snot-expellors can do this without lifting there arm but the risk of a glazed snail-trail down your arm is higher. One should not forget that this can also be used as a tactic while racing. The time it takes some mug to wipe your snot off his glasses, and you can be up the road and long gone.ShortLegs2007-10-17 02:10:15
