I liked the Giraffe trend... Afterall it gave birth to pinkbike 2.0

did it? how so? haha I liked the olllllld pinkbike. Like 2005 pinkbike. I saw a camera forum with the same format the other day and I was like "i miss that! haha" All the threads turned orange when there was a new post and everything. That was a cool format Smile

I remember the orange...I do, in fact, miss that.

Yeah, I wasn't even a member for the longest time, I would just surf the forums...I felt like I had to join after a while. I just feel like, 3 years, ago there was significantly less bickering going on about the functionality of the site itself. I mean I love PB. Yeah, there are annoying people, but you can easily keep yourself out of those situations. Hell, I met one of a best friends on here roughly 2 years ago now. We ride together all the time. PB made a bunch of nostalgic moments for me, so I haven't lost my faith in it. End rant, sorry. : ]

Yes, yes it is Ninja

Edit: Pinkbike was always better two years ago, no matter what year it is. Didn't you know that?

The difference between TUC and Yammy is that TUC has actually developed some biking skill lately and has earned alot of respect, including mine. Although I still think he should get a drive train Wink

Ya TUC is good now... better than me... thats for sure...

The best part about yamy was the yellow helmet... we saw someone who kinda looked like they were trolling with a yellow helmet in the avatar we'd be like "ITS Yamy! BANNED"

Then we'd lol and have beer

YAMY!


I definitely remember going onto Pinkbike back in middle school and trying to find the sickest freaking freeride pictures ever. I had a folder of them with the PB watermark on them on my desktop. I didn't have an email address and my parents wouldn't let me use theirs so I never got an account. I never really bothered with scrolling through the forums at all. It was all about the pictures to me.

Yeah that's how I started using PB, I used to type in mountain biking pictures or something on google and it would always be Pinkbike that came up.

I used to HATE the photosection. It was terrible a few years ago. I even stopped uploading pics on here for a bit because of the nasty comments I'd always get. You couldn't delete the comments back then either.

I decided to stop uploading them when I uploaded pictures of my broken ankle, and people said it was fake and called me names Frown

But it's all good now. I just ban people who flame me lol
