Yo Tony, When In Rome.....

you drive scooters. i;ve been. they dont lift things with their wankers

Posted by: cliffster5

Since this was a site devoted to muscles I thought I should adopt an image for my Avatar that had to do with the coin of the realm. Plus, Dero bet me his crappy KONA that I couldn't lift that kind of weight.

Posted by: Dero

Ok,to clear up some FALSE RUMORS!!!!!

Yeah, that too.

But my bike can handle a hell of a lot more punishment than I give it.

MBC ROCKS!!!!

Posted by: Preacher

I've got to look REAL HARD to find that kind of trails in Belgium ...
(without it involving 3-hour drives

)

Consider yourself very lucky (with tracks like that and a wife that actually rides!)

P.S. I did a 3-meter drop-off last weekend (sideways!).
Needless to say I didn't see it coming (I would've slowed down .. ouch ..)

What is the deal with the long sleeves and tights? It's still summer.

Posted by: Tboy

bah! it's 2x8's

Still amazin though. I just had my property logged and I have a few logs left over that I plan on setting up some 'shore' stuff with. I wish we had the kind of stuff you guys have to ride around on...

California offers lots of good reasons for straying away from the road bike... the best reasons have four wheels attached to em, have a cell phone in one hand, and are jacking up on Starbucks coffee with the other.

Posted by: Dero

Pssssst,you forgot to mention the curling iron and/or the electric shaver...

Posted by: Dero

Yes, I just heard/read this in the Mountain Bike magazine that
Roland Green(Canadian Mountain Bike racer XC category)had cheated at the NORBA season opener at Big Bear.
It appears that during the race Roland Green was having problems with his cleats,while on the last lap it had come loose!!!
He was looking behind him(as usuall, he was in the lead)and saw that the pack was getting closer and closer and that he could not find a soluton to his problem(oh BTW he was tooless,being a weight weeny that he is).The pack came around and passes him,and teammate "Ryder Hesjedal" threw him a multi tool.
He then went on fixing his cleat and re-passing the pack and won the race!!!!!
Ok,NORBA rules stipulates that(#5.5in the NORBA RULE BOOK)
All spare parts and TOOLS shall be carried by the individual racer...a racer can only us spare parts or TOOLS he/she started with at the beginning of the race.

Roland Green does not need to resort to CHEATING to win races!!!He is the fastest man in the world of XC MTB!!!
But,he did

He then tried to cover his mistake by stating another NORBA rule
#6.1 which states,that all official PROTEST must occur within the 15 minutes of the results being posted.

So this all came to life when OLN aired their footage of the race.

No other racer complained about the incident,TRUE,
but THE RULE BOOK SAYS!!!!

This really turns my view about Roland Green,
as an athlete in his category,
you cannot denny it,
he's TOPS.
BUTT doesn't an athlete need to respect the RULES OF THE GAME?

No repercutions have been issued to Roland Green,he has carried on wining all the races he has entered throughout the 2001/2002 season.

All of this could had been avoided had he not been such a
weight weeny...What is the weight of an allen wrench...a messly 6 gramms!!!

to Roland Green!!!
I'm sorry I sheared him on when I was at Mnt Snow!!!

Posted by: Tboy

I read about this also. I guess it's all in how you look at it. In my mind, cheating would be that you are taking drugs or shortcuts in the race or whacking somebody with a baseball bat as the try to pass you. Not using a tool the would have been legal if he had carried it himself. I guess if you follow the rules to a "T" then it would be cheating. But no one challeged it with in the time allowed, so he cheated but didnt get caught. Therfore he won fair and square... well not really but he won on a technicality.

I do see your point by-the-way. Rules are rules. It's just this time they were in his favor.

Posted by: Dero

Specially that that there are not too many rules in XC racing,might as well respect them ALL!!!
It still changes my point of view towards Rolland...
It would be the same as doing enhancement drugs,not getting caught and winning the race.
Same diff...

Your harddrive?If so,obviously you either had them on a disc or they are digies,or you scanned them...
So you see the "Browse" button on the bottom of the page(when you reply to this) click it,it will bring up your browser and go to the file your pics are at double click on da pic and it will transfer it right here...
they have to be "Valid file extensions: gif jpg png txt zip bmp jpeg doc xls pdf htm html"

If it tell syou that it is too big resize to a smaller size.

I'm not crazy about those kinds of rides. I have that ever present need for speed when I go out. I don't mind a grueling climb knowing 2 things. 1) I'm getting a great cardio workout and 2. the downhill which will follow.

He,he...
TLC time for my bike...It's all in pieces,on the workbench,soaking,being scrubbed,no wonder the bike was getting heavy,lots of dried up mud in some hard to reach corners!!

Is DG806 a weight winny?
I don't think so!!!

How is it to ride a bike that is missing a side of the fork(Lefty)???

Ya I'm just busting...J/K!!!

Is it spring in NJ yet?

Posted by: firestorm

No not spring in Jersey yet in fact were just gearing into Winter. I ride all year long. Cold and light snow don't phase me. I ride anyway. Screw it and just ride is my motto.

Crap, MBC gave me the same crapola about the reflectors!!!
And it was about 70 degrees here today!

Posted by: Dero

He,he...I know,it's the same up here,I'm north of you by 12hrs,
2 hrs from Montreal.

Hiya DG!!!He,he...Have a ride for me will ya?

Posted by: firestorm

Yea but you can't compare your winters to ours here in Jersey. Ours are much more mild. Last year we only got about 3 inches of snow the whole Winter. It's just damn cold some days.

Hey dero, move here and you can always ride!!

Posted by: firestorm

Well I just missed my last chance to ride for a while. Last Sunday I was asked to go ride but neither of my bikes were ready. I had all the wheels apart after getting 2 flats on my GT Thanksgiving and Truing all the rims to both bikes. I just figured I'd go this Sunday but we just got hammered with 6 inches of snow so there went that idea. Ok this is your que to all cry and feel sorry for me please. Thank you.

I feel your pain!!!

Just go and visit that site and do a virtual ride in Fruita...
You'll feel better!

Posted by: firestorm

Thanks D my friend. I'm so pathetic, I was in the garage today. Saw my bike there,, pulled it out and just started leaning on the seat to make the rear suspension go up and down.
Yes this was done for amusement purposes only. (sick little boy here). hehehe

Posted by: Dero

I go in the basement and pedal with my hand and change the gears...For the same reasons.

Am I pathetic also...?

Posted by: firestorm

Yea but how bout this... How many of you go in your garage, put all your riding gear on,,, shoes, gloves helmet, riding cloths, shoes, and don't forget sunglasses(even if it's dark),,,, Take out some baseball bats, some wood and thow it on the floor. Then get on your bike and ride over it pretending your riding a trail. Then,,, to fully experience the realism, purposely fall off your bike to get the sensation of a truely "epic" ride. Ummm I don't do this I just umm saw someone do it.

Posted by: Dero

Ok,you got me beaten,I don't do that!!!

You do?

Posted by: firestorm

No goofy... just joking.

Posted by: Dero

I know some people that would do it...

Posted by: firestorm

Oh that is extreme. If you do know peeps like that, I wanna ride with those diehards. Rocken'

Posted by: Dero

dg,I would not say that I preffer Moab to BC,it's different kind of riding...
In BC there are SO MANY trees beside/around the trails...
ANOTHER CHALLENGE...
It would be like riding Downieville in California.Check the videos I posted the link to ,you'll see the difference from the Sierra Nevada and the BC Rockies...
Both are just the best,when you talk about MTB meccas!!

Posted by: I Are Baboon

I haven't ridden in about six weeks.

Posted by: Dero

So that's the bike you are GIVING me for XMAS.
Aaaaaw,thanks bud!!!

Yup,I'm the same,6 freaken weeks!!!

Posted by: ZECH

That is because ya'll live in the freakin sn... snnn sno,,,,,, I can't even say it belt! Way the crap up north!

Posted by: firestorm

Really messy here in Jersey but it was rather mild today. If I could have gotten away I would have ridden today but wife kept me busy. Too close to Christmas to ride now.

Posted by: Dero

Here's one from that famous "Rock Garden" at Mnt Snow/NORBA
this summer.
This is a pic of one of the pros on the sunday afternoon race...
Yes I was far from the hill,soooooooooooooo many people...

Posted by: firestorm

Oh man Dero you rock!! Your soo lucky man to make events like that. Did you ever ride there?

Posted by: Dero

Look at the size af those freaken rocks

Posted by: Dero

No...I ride XC,plus I had to drive back up here after the weekend.
We did however ride some trails,that were how could you say

more for us pussies!!!

Posted by: Dero

Here is my fav!!!
Yes you can imagine the rest...
Yes those BIG ROCKS are not padded!!!

Here you can see how STEEP the race track was...

Posted by: firestorm

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: ZECH

Man, it was sunny blue sky here today and 65 degrees. And I had to fuqqin work!!

Posted by: Dero

From this point on(where this guy is taking a brake) you had the choice of three lines,if you could actually control your bike in one of them.
I would say that outta of 10 riders,2 would make it...
A friend of mine,actually raced it and said "it was THE hardest race he had ever done and he was happy to still be alive.

Posted by: firestorm

Oh damn that looks so damn painful

Posted by: Dero

If you can't ride it,walk it,you NEVER know,you might get a better time.

I think this is my best pic!!!

It's opposite for me it's OH SHIAT, then after I get up, it's determination!

Posted by: Dero

ummmmmmm...How peculiar!!!
I always thought it was the opposite.
You have to fall to be determine????

Posted by: ZECH

I guess I'm too stupid to realize the danger before I fall. Then I think "Shiat, I can do that!

Posted by: Dero

Hmmm...had to remove some cowbwebs of the bike today...

Posted by: ZECH

Slowly putting it back together,SLOWLY!!!
Don't want a complete bike before EASTER!!!

Posted by: firestorm

Ok I'd be afraid to ride out in your woods and trails DG. I'd be afraid of running into some of those people like in the movie "Deliverance".(burt reynolds film). Ya fall off your bike in the wrong area and one of them hillbillies with no teeth trying to get ya to squeel like a pig while another plays his banjo.

Hey Soop, Welome to our site. This picture is fantastic!!! you should submit it to the MTB mags. I'm sure one of them would run it. Great work with the camera man. (good choice: b/w over color on it)

hey thanks, i appreciate that. I tried a couple but unfortunately none of the bigger mags use digital yet. they all require slides

Posted by: Dero

That sucks, 'cus that's a great shot!!!

Posted by: firestorm

Well that is rediculous. All the technology today and they can't use it. Time to upgrade.

If you still have the negatives I'm pretty sure you can get them put onto slides. Unless its a digi, then they should take it as is.

Great pic though.

Well.... I finally broke out the Kona again. I did a few log hop-ups and overs and a few jumps.

It felt good to have a piece of Canada between my legs again.

Posted by: Dero

Was it good for you???

Well,use to be that Kona WAS built in Canada,but most frames(I mean almost all the frames around,not just Kona)are built in Taiwan...
Which Kona do you ride?

the '01 stuff in booger green. Hard tail w/hayes disc brakes. I got it to do urban stuff and trials. I have a ways to go on the trials stuff, but I am progressing.

Hmmmmm...Think that 20 inner tube will last me a while??

Remember that Gift certificates I got for XMAS at at LBS???
Well, that LBS has a warehouse clearance sale every feb(the leftovers from last year).
Well I walked in there with this GC for $100.00 looked around and nuthing was tickling my fancy,so I stocked up on lube,
de-greaser,frame polish and inner tubes.

I'm set for a few years now...

Figured that just the inner tube was a great buy...
usually $5 per (cdn), I paid $1 each. (cdn)

OK do you need my mailing addy for that one Dero? hahahaha

Posted by: quik^

i ride a 99 gary fisher excalibur, can you say disc brakes

but i guess all bikes are coming standard with them.

Posted by: Dero

Not all bikes have disk brakes!!!
I have a 2000 Kona,with NO disk brakes.

Posted by: firestorm

They don't all come with Disc Brakes? Oh shoot wait, I already knew that. I have 2 bikes and neither came with D brakes. This past summer I put Hayes D-brakes on my GT I-Drive. Now I look 10 times keweler when I fall!!!

Posted by: Dero

It's not how much you try that counts,IT'S HOW MUCH YOU FALL,we all know the ol' saying, if you don't fall,YOU'RE NOT TRYING HARD 'NUFF!!!!!!

Posted by: firestorm

I agree DERO,, if I come home from a serious ride without at least a "little" blood or some bumbs and bruises, then I say that I didnt' ride on the edge.
Some people will say that well if you keep falling your not a very good bike rider. You look at the compititions and you don't ever see the "winner" fall. This is true but what "they the viewers" don't see is the 1000 falls the "winner DID take to raise his bar of excellence that high!! A prime example of this from me is this. A certain park I ride,, I have some serious, fast switchbacks and turns. I'll take off down the thing like a bat out of hell and I would fall on the 1st hard turn. From that I learned how to take that turn better, How to find the better line. I don't fall there anymore and in fact, take it faster then all the guys I ride with and I do it much cleaner. Now as I learned that wonderful lesson I would now be at a pretty fast pace and again take the 4th cutback with an obstacle and fall hard trying to navigate through the turn and over the obstical. After smashing my head and knee and back and bike on that damn tree trunk enough times I learned how to perform that type of manuver better, cleaner and faster then my co riders.
So, this is my example of What DERO said. If you don't fall you aint riding hard enough. No words can better have been spoken.
