The way in which you have structured and written the piece is very deceptive if what you have said is so. I could also pull you on the 3 or 4 grammatical and spelling mistakes but I presume that would just trigger a petty argument and load me with the minus props for being so pathetic. Rant over,

And, I think the bike industries are pushing the riders.
There is far more that a rider can do, and go far further, faster and bigger because the bike industries are allowing us to.

Downhill-Christy (Dec 22, 2009 at 16:11)

I believe they are pushing each other. The bike allows the rider to do more; the rider then pushes this bike to the limit and the idustry much catch up and go 'one step further'. If it had to go one way, I would say it would be the rider pushing the industry.

YEEEE BOOIII! I like this! mtb-rider, ignore the people giving you sh*t for this picture, they're just stressed out. Nope, the grammar and punctuation isn't 'perfect'. However any rider with his/her head firmly screwed on knows what you mean by this photo.
I'd be happy to try and point you in the right direction on the grammar for this picture, but it's your picture and as it's just for leisure, I think it's fine how it is. I'm multi-lingual too, so I also have my 'grammatical flaws" :p

what ever the top comments are on about saying the bike industries are pushing riders to do more and the bike allows the ride to do more thats not the case! the bike is more capeable of doing things than the rider and the rider is just cathching up on the leanring !

its the truth just think ... if you didnt have a bike then what coould you do sit at home on xbox or ps3 all day gettin fat or you could be riding any type of riding is good for you whether its pushing your body to the limit with xc or your ball doing huge dirt jumps and the feeling you get when you nail the trick youve been tryin for the past week its like nothin else Smile
