And Specializedrider, there might be a burm just after it, and dropping off that rock might slow him down too much because he would be too tight to the corner...
Anyway, I bet he's less of a noob than you could ever wish to be!

It will show, just click "show comment". I agree it gets annoying when a comment gets flamed for no reason other than people not reading it just neg-propping, but it is very handy when it comes to abusive comments or page-hogging. If you feel that a decent comment has been flamed unfairly, +prop it and leave a reply. Before long it'll get the props it deserves. Smile
