well ummm seee heres the thing.

the UK actually invented everything you have ever used.

Your bike, TV, laws of physics and gravity, the light bulb, electricity, Iron and most metals - all invented in the UK!

so ha!

The light bulb is a rather touchy one to claim but i think we did it Razz
We did mostly everything else at the time and we even got the Americans to have a tea party ! lol how much can you brag :p

I can see why canada, american and australia became independant and thats because of the fact that we have shitty riding spots and we'd of claimed them under our empire. Our empire that more or less sucks balls.

silly topic

but-

DH UK, convicts and kiwis, and euros dominate. theres a surprising lack of decent north american riders
fr the north americans are good at freeriding and slopestyl stuff, lots of comps and really good riding over there, some euros shred too
trails-the uk dirt scene is def the best, so many good trails in a small place, euro and north americans more into big wheels for some reason, loads of good riders tho
xcevery one is good at xc, euros are prob the best
4x seems like a mix

To be honest we're all like family... Slag each other off as much as we can but when it comes down to it we stand up for one another in a fight (war). Razz anyway

I think UK kind of sucks generally for all riding to be honest

Well, we all know that if it is Wikipedia, it's gotta be true....just like everything on the internet.

The Commonwealth didn't "discover" America or the AMericas. The Vikings were in Newfoundland in Canada long before the English or Spanish. So, back to books...again. A small detail.

Kinda pointless debating it though, just like how this topic is kinda pointless.

The best dirt, yes in specific places where it usually unbelievabley windy or too wet most of the time of the year, Also the fact that UK's land mass is significantly less than the other 3 nations then it shows that its almost definitely going to have less riding spots.

you obviously dont ride trails. the uk has the best private trails in the world. and there ARE lots of them, especially in the south east where i'm from, within an hour of me there are hundreds of sets of trails including some really good ones. and here in the uk the winters are warm ans the summers arnt too hot so the trails stay rideable actually for quite a while. larger land mass and sparcer population means more traveling to different dirt jumps
