Wow was that a threat?  Oh please don't hurt me... 

no, just good advice... I am a harmless little fuzzball. Would never dream of threating anyone... I think some people get on these forums and forget that they may (and usually do) see these people out on the trails. Just like I am sure you would not have walked up to the work crew on Saturday at Alafia and yelled out "Hey, stop making these trails too easy you Idiots".... Just saying...

Shouldn't Black Diamond require a certain amount of bike handling skills and not just good cardio fitness?



Yes

slowfatguy: I'm all over the road on this but what I can say is that my bike only has six inches of travel and I have like 0.000078 hrs of trail work  ;D

pha3drs: No comment per my probation officer. I am pretty sure I wouldn't have crashed in that spot though. I'm pretty awesome if you haven't already heard.

fe: I agree that people should be able to sound off about the trails even if they can't/won't/don't work on them. Do so respectfully though cause I've done a tiny bit of trail work and it is hard as hell.

Darrin: Just seeing your name pop up pisses me off! Just kidding, I very much enjoy your posts and you're always super cool when I happen to run into you. This guy doesn't understand that you were a WWF wrestler in a former life ;D

TripleT: Go back to sleep :D

Garry: If he goes on a rant about Boyette I will most certainly pop some popcorn and wait for your reply.

eclark: You know you put pha3drs up to it or in fact this is your ghost screen name ;) Now turn that devil music down!

drb81: queer lefty forks can't handle the hard trails so I suspect it is you that is dumbing down the trails :)

BillT: I feel obligated to  agree with you since you are my bff riding partner. If they do dumb down/pave (blacktop) the trails you will be in big trouble :D

Even though this post was out of line a bit it certainly made for good entertainment.

I might land one, maybe two punches on Darrin but then I'd get smart and run for it. He doesn't have a 29'r anymore so no chance of catching me ;D

pha3drs: We need to set up a meeting between you and proedge. He came on really strong and started at least a few fights on here. Now several months later he is a contributing member of the forum and makes a damn good video I might add. His smites are left in tact just as a reminder to all internet tough guys.
Now say you are sorry to Darrin and let the healing begin.

Option B is we let TripleT unleash years of pint up rage on you.

I think we should all wear big screen name stickers on our shirts. We probably pass each other out there more than we realize. One weekend, I was asking anyone with an epic, "are you Carlos?" :D
