Beacon race run 2-24 (Crash)

You need to upgrade your Flash Player
Click here to install it
Please excuse my language at the end, but it was very frustrating that the guy wouldn't get out of my way through the whole jump line and ended up costing me a good race run. I could have flipped out on him at the bottom, but chose not to because I acted impulsively when I crashed and we both could've gotten hurt.

 guys, dh and mountain biking in general is about fun and broin out, yeah its frustrating that he got in your way but is it really the end of the world? its not like your racing a WC here or even a big race, this to me looks like a local fun run man real early in the season too, theres no need to tweek on him that hard, you guys are the ones who are giving dh races the gay roadie feel rather than the good old days when it was all about fun .

 dude, i race too, and train with wc and pro riders and i aint exactly slow myself, racing and winning is fun, but you need to mature a lil bit, this sport has its roots centered around just enjoying the ride, like i said, this race aint exactly carryin a huge cash purse for the winner, and you arnt exactly doing this for a living yourself, so just check your ego at the door bud cause it'd be a shame for a talented rider like yourself to be a huge douche and add to the ever growing list of roadie @$$hole tudes that are destroying the comraderie of this sport.

 Good lord boys. Were all riders right? And who cares what bike you ride? Now a days if you have a 5K+ bike you are automatically fast and if you don't you suck right? It's the rider that makes the bike. Not the bike that makes the rider. I ride with so many guys that have $1500 bikes that will go faster and bigger with more steeze than myself, and most people around.

 no, they don't have a reason to. They don't race. They're just out there to chill with buddies and have a good time riding, keeping it real and thats what mountain biking is all about. But if they did, they would be good and on podiums without all the sponsorship and TLD pajama kits.

 Why get all aggravated? Dher0521 said he couldn't hear you. Maybe you should get an airhorn. We all now how difficult it is to hear in a full face helmet with people yelling at you when you are focused on your own race.

The real problem is that you were in the wrong class and too fast for the competition. That is not Dher0521's fault -- nor yours. For now, however, you are racing with amateurs that are doing this for fun. You may be taking your racing seriously, but you are not yet pro! This is not a WC race and until you start racing with people of your skill level, you are bound to run into these issues occassionally. However, it is weak-sauce to get all aggro at a rider who is riding in his skill group.

Do you really think yelling profanities at a slower rider makes you a hero? Or endears you to potential sponsors? Why should a company give you money if come accross like a petulant child and not like a professional? You have some talent, but I would think a little bit about how you present yourself to the rest of the world?

 You guys are dick. The thing no one relizes is the day before I crashed in practice and cracked a helmet and I wasent going to ride the race on saturday but desided I might as well since I was already there. I dident relize he was behind me. Try hearing someone behind you when you have a splitting head ache and you have tons of people screaming and yelling. It's imposible. Sorry for blocking you or whatever but I couldent hear him and I felt like crap that whole day. Say whatever you want I could care less. It's one race not the end of the world

 Oh dear,that was a super fast run,and yes an awfull shame about crashing . But in all honesty it happens and can't be changed now,if time travel was possible then something could be done differently . But there is no need for all this bitter talk. Perhaps if you meet on a race run again then instead of rushing back on your bikes after a crash just embrace the moment clutch each other firmly and let nature take over,feel each others sweat,touch each other like never before , wipe the hurt from each others tears and let your bodys connect . It worked in broke back mountain ,it can work for you too!!!! Just enjoy the love of the mountain dudesX

 Are you kidding me? I caused a dangerous situation? He had plenty of opportunities to move and wouldn't, at one point I was about two feet from him screaming at the top of my lungs to move. He created the dangerous situation. I was obviously faster and it's a race, I couldn't care less about how he feels. He obviously put me in a dangerous situation by making me go down. And by the way I went to the officials and asked for a re-run and they told me tough luck, thats racing so it was worth it in the end. You obviously aren't much of a racer.

 It was a heat of the moment type of thing, I know a lot of others would have been a lot worse than I was. Racing is racing and that shouldn't have been an issue, It was my 2nd ever race and I hadn't raced enough to get my upgrade. I sent in a request to have it petitioned so that I can move up. Weather it was a WC race or not I still want to do my best, especially when I'm trying to get my upgrade.

Racing is frustrating sometimes but YOU DEAL WITH IT. You don't behave like a 5 year old that doesn't get his candy. You need to mature a little bit. The right thing to do was to tell him you're sorry (Even if you're not) and ask him if he was okay. Then you can go somewhere by yourself and take out the angry feelings on a rock or whatever.

 Not everyone has the mary poppins point of view when it comes to racing. I personally take it very seriously and have the mentality of a racer, and want to win no matter how big of a race it is. A race is a race, and that is what I payed for. If that was a practice run, yeah I would feel bad for what I said to him. I don't want to lose because the kid was too arrogant to get out of the way, I know for a fact that he heard me, after I hit him and went down, he still got up and still tried to race me. ONE race could have injured me for the rest of the season and I don't feel like I overreacted in the slightest bit. I know people that would have taken swings at this kid for what he did

 1. The guy should have moved out of the way AS soon as he found space to do so. He didn't, he caused you to crash AND didn't apologise for ruining your run. That guy was an A-hole.
2. You were too soft, had it been me I'd have lost it and kicked his ass either after the crash or after the race. You pay to race and shit like that is disrespectful, dangerous and deserves to be punished (the people in charge should have penalised the guy).
3. A race is a race, just because it isn't worldcup level doesn't mean its BS. UNLESS the race is for fun only in which case whatever.

Hey it's part of the sport , there are some errors that happen but we can only look towards the future and move on from the past . I'm surprised that they didn't space out the time for each rider a bit longer ? Unless your that fast or he's kinda slow lol ... In the end , we all started somewhere and we all started as slow noobs etc . I think the event officials really need to do something to prevent this happening again , ESP since they didn't let you do another run down :/ . Happy riding to everyone and I think both of you should just put it behind each other and just move on , fuk it ! Get out and pin it ! Wink
