Well, there goes 5 minutes outta my life, I will never get back. Awesome Thread!!! NOTDead Horse Dead Horse It sounds like it would be okay w/ your parents if you joined a gang, but if you wanted to join the Boy Scouts, they would say no.

that was the same thing I was just thinking. I'm now a little bit dumber for reading this lol

If it makes you feel any better if I was your dad I'd let you xc race. Emo I let my kids race whatever they want. I want them to be healthy and not have a heart attack at the age of 20. I want them to be pirate's and steal booties! Pirate

yeah....it is a little creepy isn't it? No way! No way I want you to have stamina and race long distances and try to keep the wheels on the ground for traction! But dropping off rocks and hitting excessive speeds on berms and very close to trees and exposed hillsides is fine. C R E E P Y Two-Face

ok lets get this sorted
1. sam stop being a prick about that £1500 bike thing i have got a job so can get a bike worth that much (like today ive just come back from work after earning £80)

By all means you might be telling the truth, but;
1: Your 15. You have to be 16 to legally get a job. Okay I understand people still do underage (family members, friends, etc) So fine.
2: How the f*ck do you make £80 in one day? Eek You don't even have a minimum wage, and that of a 16 year old is £3.53 minimum. So even if you got £5 an hour, that would still be 16 hours in a day.

But whatever, you could be telling the truth.
