Another thing do you ever wonder how many of these trash talkers are actually good at riding their bikes. I know I suck but how many of these people are actually half as good as they claim.

Thanks, I'll admit that I suck, and I don't have a problem with it, I love my bike, love Ridin, and I'd never give it up for anything, I started out on a specialized hardrock up untill like a year ago, haha

there is indeed way too much smack talk online, it seems that a lot of people with insecurities in the real world pump themselves up when they get online. that being said, sometimes i do get a kick out of some of the spats of pb...people make total and complete asses out of themselves.tup

Now i have an Azonic steelhead I got like 2 years ago and never been on a trail bc they're far away and got to get my drivers license but i ride around my house and use what i can... Biggest thing ive done was on a basement being built rode off the side like 7ft hahaha!

People have to realize some people can just ride. Some guys just don't need to try and can land tricks and be smooth. I knew a guy that after 2 years off learned tuck nos in about 10 minutes over a good sized step up. Granted it was a nice jump for tricks but he was just good. I was pissed (read jelous). That is the problem, he has no right to make fun of guys that are not as good as him, he just won the genitic lottery and got the reflexes or what ever it takes. Some of us have to ride every day to get even half that smooth. Then there are the guys like me that have to try to learn tricks, the not natural riders that can't admit they get jelous of natural riders and have to bitch, If my dad took me to the park every day I'd be that good too. No you wouldn't. Deal with it.

Then there is the guys that THINK they know it all but don't, and the fads,and what ever. I don't keep up with the parts anymore or the riders and I really don't care what colour you paint your bike, so I don't comment on those posts. I can fix bikes though so I comment on that stuff. If you ask to "rate my ride" you have to expect some people will not like it. Don't get pissed, you asked. You can ask why, but it is their opinion.
