Pinkbike Poll: Three Wishes

Mar 20, 2014 at 14:58
by Mike Levy  
Picture yourself out for a solo ride that, up until about thirty seconds from now, feels just like any other day in the saddle. You've got a skinny sliver of brown heaven all to yourself and you're making the most of it: popping over things that would usually slow you down, carving corners like someone forgot to tell you that your last name isn't Clémentz, and taking sneaky lines that you didn't even see the last time you were out here. Everything is more effortless than it has ever been... That is, until you wake up on the ground with your visor pushed down over your eyes like a tourist who though't it'd be a good idea to take their rented Giant Glory down Whistler's Goat's Gully for their first mountain bike ride.

It takes you a good minute to catch your breath as you roll over onto your back and struggle to get your helmet off - those buckles can be tricky when you're gasping for air like a dying moose - but as soon as you pull it up over your head you spot what put you on the ground: an unopened can of PBR. The can, most likely left in the forest by hipsters who were out taking "art" photos with their Polaroid cameras, took your front tire out from under you like a 3" tall slimy root. But since you're here, you might as well drink it. Make the most of a bad situation and all that, right? The thing is, though, you don't find any deliciously inexpensive booze when you crack it open to take a swig, only a tired voice coming from within the can that says "Alright jackass, you've got three wishes so make them count.'' The first thought in your mind is that the impact knocked your marbles loose, and that the last thing you need is another concussion, but the second, third, and forth thoughts involve millions of dollars, Megan Fox, and then having Megan Fox cloned. ''Hurry up and tell me your wishes,'' the grumpy PBR can yells. ''Oh, and they have to be related to mountain biking. I make the rules, so don't ask me why.'' Given how the situation has played out so far, a talking PBR can telling you that your three wishes have to have something to do with mountain biking isn't all that far fetched, and you just roll with it.

So, what do you ask for? Do you wake up to find that your beat down seven year old machine has been replaced with the latest super-bike, complete with top end suspension? Maybe you now have the fitness of a doped up Michael Rasmussen, sans the needles and blood bags, combined with the handling skills of Nicolas Vouilloz in his prime? There's always the bigger picture as well, with you now having the ability to give everyone access to kick ass trails, no matter where they live, by uttering just a few simple words.

Tell us what you'd ask for by putting down your three mountain bike related wishes in the comment section below.

2: that the same didn't happen to our friend John in the same crash

 That's a tough pill to swallow. Makes all of the other wishes on this list seem completely selfish and trivial. Sorry to hear this.

 Shit mate, that's tough. You can have my first two wishes (you wouldn't need the 3rd then) and I'l use the last one for something to do with never having to go to work again, and maybe moving to live in the French Alps with Steve Peat and Ratboy. It's not what you think, just needs some more thought.

Seriously though, commiserations buddy!

 1: for good bikes to be made more affordable (free would be great for a while but unlimited access to everything would ruin it for me).
2: no injuries causing downtime (no injuries at all would spoil the fun but nobody likes to be off the bike for weeks).
3: to be allowed to keep my bike in the house (dammit lady it's cleaner than the cutlery! :-P).

...or maybe I'd change that for a huge workshop...yeahh huge workshop. Many bike. So fettle. Coffee machine. Much spares.

 #1 - For me to discover MTB (and participating in DH racing) earlier than in my 23s, around 14 would be the sweet spot.

Don't need anything else really, can work for everything else and I'm gonna aprecciate it even more if I earn it instead of if it's given to me.

 1. Wolverine like Healing powers.
2. Groundhog day lifts (so every time I end my run, I can start another run somewhere else, over and over again !)

and

3.
My very own bike building team of experts, complete with UD Carbon forming factory!

 Was thinking something similar,

2) Being able to warp to any trail anywhere in the world instantly at the end of the current trail.

Imagine that! Could effectively ride to the end of my driveway and suddenly be in the Andes.
  • 2 0
 Yes! You would be able to shuttle in the wild, even the lake district would be a mini DH paradise without the day long hike for each run !
  • 24 1
 Im not sure I'm comfortable with so many of you lusting after pro's genitals... that said if i was the pbr can, you'd be getting exactly what you asked for, brutally severed scrotum and all its unpleasant contents.
  • 24 4
 Doerfling's balls... endless South Chilcotin single track... and an always full hydration bladder with Bowmore Islay Single Malt Scotch.

[Mhmm, just thinking: "Maybe I don't need the wishes. With enough of that scotch my balls might feel big enough and the South Chilcotin really isn't that far from my place, so f**ck off grumpy PBR can genie!"]
  • 11 1
 I have the Knolly, I have the Islay bottle, so my wishes would be :
1- Doerfling's skills / balls (if I had only one wish... having the bike doesn't do all ! )
2- Make the bike park I usually ride closer to where I live and a little bit Whistler like
3- Make my girlfriend want to ride DH / FR with me

 careful what you wish for brutal.. a riding GF is a blessing and a curse.. picture all day on green runs, its not always great, most lack the adrenaline gene like us guys..(most, some on the other hand are awesome). my wife lacks the gene, but her sister is a pro DHer.. go figure..

 Gotta shuttle ride from a bloke and his girlfriend once. She had a baddass DH bike she had done her own custom manga style graphics on as well as a bunch of pink and purple ano parts. She had enough armour on to show she was 'bout it with out being covered in pussy pads. She also had dreads (probably got high) and she was fit looking and full of positive vibes as well. Needless to say I took another trail down cause had she been able to ride as well I would have died of jealousy.

 @billybobzia, I meant turning her into a good DH rider. For now she just rides road bikes...

 I hear you, but sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't is all I am saying. I wish my wife had her sisters no fear gene, but she just doesn't..

 OK i thought we were talking a bout cars that you don't need to save every penny you ever make to buy. If money were no object id want a Bugatti veyron but at like $2 600 000 I don't think it's happening.
  • 1 1
 Bugatti's are good for a straight line, but in the corners, it's not as good as some of the newer hypercars, such as the Koenigsegg Agera R, and some of the older supercars are much better, such as the Ferrari F40, etc. IMHO
  • 1 0
 But none of those cars can go 452 km/h with the comfort of a Lincoln. so what if it wont corner at speed, if i paid more than $500000 i wouldn't want to try cornering at speed and risk destroying the car. but i agree as far as racing capabilities go there are better options.
  • 1 1
 If you want speed, comfort and handling capabilities, go for the Mclaren MP4-12C, Top Gear proved it with it going to the top of the power laps leaderboard.

 1) no old people sitting on my damned landing ramps! The amount of times I've had to bail mid roadgap because some old people walking there dogs have decided to sit on this strange piece of smooth sloped land on a bike trail. Only then for them to tell at me for riding dangerously and that I was in the wrong even though its private woodland and they're trespassing!
2) weather not to be an issue for riding.
3) I'd donate my 3rd wish, everything else about riding is perfect, I don't care if my bikes average spec, it's my bike the way I want it.

 Absolute flow for at least 10 miles with nothing but damp Santa Cruz Loam (perfect berms and jumps and rollers and wall rides), chairlifts everywhere with ice cold guiness bottles waiting on the chairs, and Eliot Jackson's speed, style, and steeze. That's what I want, make it happen pinkbike.

 1) Make anyone who has ever stolen a bike feel the guilt they are bloody well due. Including whoever has my Trek feeling guilty enough to just lie down in a dark corner and never get up again.

2) Give anyone about to buy a bike the ability to see through all hype and buy what they need, not just whats shiny, new and over marketed.

3) Good trails everywhere! Singletrack to be as commonly found as footpaths. Every hill to have a nice DH track on it somewhere. For landowners to love and appreciate bikes tearing up and down their hills.

 1. For my bike to have a button, that if I press the bike will turn into the bike I am imagining, 2.The ability to teleport but only with my bike and to the top of mountains and trails, 3. Someone mentioned Cam Zink balls, yeah I think those would go nice with a good bike.

 1. Unlimited money for bikes and bike related things 2. More people to get involved in downhill which will bring more money to the sport 3. For dan atherton, nico vink, and Brandon semneuk to come to fort bill with diggers and shit so we can build trails all over the place there is the downhill track which is great but we need more.

#3 C'mon, I wish that I had a dump truck full of cash and a cabin in Squamish

 1. Public acceptance and approval of MTBing.

3. f*cktard motorists to be put in my position on the bike while I push them into the gutter with 2 tonnnes of steel wrapped around me "to teach them a lesson" like they teach me.........(this is not MTB but my training rides are commutes occassionally on roads) and on that note tougher elbows so when I ride big in these situations I can smash/dent their cars to get their attention.

 1. I wish riding the 20+k of trails a half a mile from my home wouldnt get me arrested. They were once legal and rival most as to cool rides.
2. I wish public transit took me to my fave two other trails as they are way uphill and they join another close to home trail. Approx 30k ok AM mostly down!
3. I wish it would stop snowing and raining and dry up so I can take my new bike for a spin in these places. I Live in Southern Ontario and you Canadians know what this winter was like!
  • 4 1
 1: bones that wont break in a crash...
2: consistently good weather, dry tracks, no Irish weather
3: unbreakable bike parts
That's all..
  • 1 0
 1. No serious injuries. I don't mean no injuries at all, but nothing that requires surgery or puts you out of commission for too long, you know what I mean? Riding without the thrills of hurting yourself wouldn't be the same, but I could really do without some broken bones.
2. More time to ride. At a non-pro level I think it's not necessary to have ALWAYS time for a ride - there's other stuff to do as well. Yet, more time between work and studying or whatever else it is you do, would be appreciated.
3. Good friends to ride with. Being alone on the trail or out with your road cycle is something I need every now and then but being by yourself and seeing other groups of riders shredding and having fun together can really put a damper on your mood. A good buddy to shred with can make all the difference in the world.

 1. Getting paid to ride my bike, not millions of dollars/pounds, just as much as I earn in my current job

 1. To go back in time and tell myself that there is a future there if I just keep riding bikes. To go pro. Hate my job 2. To have a girl that can keep up with me on the trails and truly loves it as much as me. Not someone that just says they like it and needs to go home after 1 hour in. 3. To have my chiwaha mix rescue dog that showed up at my door one day live forever and be able to go on long rides with me. That dog thinks she is bigger then she is and loves bike rides. Shame I can't always take her.

 1. Be able to spend more time riding
2. Permission/land to build trails closer to home (so I can just ride straight out of my door)

the skills and confidence and stuff I can work on myself given the time =]

 Maybe thinking a little small here, but:

1) My local mountain to open again for mountain biking (Looking at you Mount Washington)
2) Have said local hill hire Bill Mclane to do the trail building
3) New top of the line bikes for every discipline every other season for me and my family members for life

 1. Mountain biking causes permanent world peace and cooperation by ending world hunger, eliminating money, and amicably rendering human overpopulation a non-issue, while still keeping people motivated to be industrious, innovative, and ride their bikes.

2. Mountain biking causes constant improvement of the natural world by making everything 100% sustainable, so that people can have endless trail, dirt, rockgardens, DH tracks, snow, mud, rain and sunshine, to ride and the planet and its inhabitants are no longer killing their only home. If this isn't done, mountain biking will cease to exist, along with the rest of us.

3. Happiness and fulfillment for everyone and everything by giving unlimited mountain bike wishes.


Who says that mountain biking can't save the world?

.
Ya, right, try 11 year old machine. My 2003 Intense Spider has gone through many upgrades and fixes, most recently linkage bearings and new suspension last year, but is still going. This is the first year I've been considering replacing it. I'd love to upgrade to the new Intense Tracer 275 Expert build (The one with XT comps)...that would be my one wish and only wish.

 1. fix my back, so i can ride all life which left for me. 2. access to all trails, like, i would like to ride there.. and your on top of the trail with your rig, ready to go. 3. that's all from me, gifting my last wish to somebody else, who needs luck, or help.

 1. To get helmets to give out to people here in the Philippines who ride on beat down bikes commuting to work. 2. Have either Sam Hill or Fabien Barrel come down here to the Philippines on an event and do some kind of bike boot camp 3. Get a chance to ride a sick track, like in whistler.

 1) Get paid to ride my bike
2) Get hired as park crew anywhere, but especially in Brandon Semenuk or Cam Mccaul's backyard
3) Same as wish #2 except Brandon Semenuk or Cam Mccaul is actually Selena Gomez and she is sings "come and get it" every day while I'm in the shower, with unlimited fresh grapes hanging from the ceiling and my fingers never get prune no matter how long of a shower I take. The blue grapes though, not the sour yellow ones.

 1.) No more Stupid people… there are already way too many of them.
2.) An unlimited supply of money… So I can travel the world with my buds in a C17 with living quarters; stocked with an astar b3, skis, surfboards, boats, bikes, motor cycles, you name it; and be able to afford it.
3.)To find that one amazing woman for me
  • 1 0
 1. A new carbon TLD helmet to replace the one that just got smashed :/
2. A set of new Maxxis Minions to keep me rubber side down through out my summer!
3. Some new suspension, like a 380 c2r2 and moto shock to keep my wheels planted, and give me that extra control in the gnarly stuff.

Wise choice?

 1. I want a house across the valley from Angel Fire Bike Park with a Specialized Carbon Demo inside the garage. 2. I want a house in Whistler with SC Carbon V10. and 3.

 1 - Trails; more easily accessible, good quality trails. Not just for me, for everyone that rides. Everything else can be bought or worked for, but trails are not always easy to find or build.
-
2 - Simplicity. The MTB industry has gotten ahead of itself with all the "innovation" in recent years. I could go on forever about this, but my point is that bikes should be simpler than they are. I don't need 3 different wheel sizes just because racers use them, I don't need remote controllable seatposts or suspension, I don't need front shifting, or 11 gears in the rear for that matter, and I don't want to send my suspension off for a tune because it's too proprietary to work on at home. 9 speeds is enough for most terrain, and the less complexity there is in a bike (within reason), the less there is to go wrong. Plus, simpler parts would drive prices down, meaning four-figure receipts would be much less common.
-
3 - A riding companion. Whether a friend, SO, trail dog, whoever it may be. Having someone pleasant to ride with is an important part of MTB in my opinion. The fun of blasting a trail is made immeasurably better by having someone to race with, follow, lead, or just talk with as you revel in the joy of being on a bike.
-
I really try to appreciate the simple things in life, those little pieces that often go unnoticed, but are key to the experience. Keep it chill.

I'd always have a fresh stable and tons of amazing personal trails close to home.

 If you don't crash and don't break, there is no fear. Managing the fear is part of the fun! I wish for a riding palace in Rossland. A bike that changes into whatever bike I desire for the day. Lastly, healing quickly and to 100% from all injuries.

 A selfish reason for world peace; anybody of any creed, religion, political persuasion, yadda yadda could ride in any country they wanted to at any time without fear. I wanna ride trails in the Congo and Afghanistan...Syria might have some great single track.

I also hope this sport stays clean. I wish big bike companies would stop sponsoring cheaters. I don't like seeing athletes who failed drug tests on the websites of equipment manufacturers. If mtn biking keeps growing, are we going to see EPO in future races because cyclists in other disciplines suffer few consequences?

And I want to be healthy long enough to see my kids continue to love to ride.

Thanks PBR can!!

2: that stupid mtbers stop asking and dumbing down trails do not remove rocks cut out roots ,respect the code, land, trail builders that spent hours scoping the line and creating a trail for them and others to enjoy. And don't walk all over that nicely shaped tranny take off or landing thid was not shaped for fricken hrs for muppets in XC shoes to stomp all over its for riding, refer number 1.

 Yeah the thing is dude, you got 3 wishes. Anything you want. So WTF would you wanna ONLY be as good as Cam Zink for when you could be as good as Cam McCaul. Maybe you have the two confused. You could be Rheeder good. You could be M&M good. You could be Semenuk good. Soderstrom good, GODziek good. Reynolds good. Or Danny Mac good!!! See what I'm say'n?

 If he had a house in Whistler and could ride like Zink, it might help him woo a girl like the ones you used all three of your wishes on @freeride-forever. I still don't understand why you think Zink is overrated? He's won both Rampage and Crankworx. It would be cool if he had a online interview, I am interested to know what you would say to one of the best MTB'ers of all time. The only thing I got is; Zink, Straight and Robbie Bourdon all chickened out and sat on the sidelines while Wade Simmons did one of the craziest skinny ladder bridges of all time (near Nelson, filming for a NWD movie). But can't blame anyone for not following the Godfather in his prime.
