Wow. Did you seriously expect them to let you up on that bike without a front brake? Come on man, if you have ever riden DH before you would know that you cant survive without one. just because you felt that putting on a front brake would make you a "newb" does not give you the right to critisize the liftee's. It's not thier fault, it's yours.

Please dont talk to me as if i know nothing. I ride a Dobermann Pincher and I too ride with no front brake, but you cant seriously expect them to let you up there without a front brake. And if you acctually managed to ride every trail at a decent speed on that bike with no front brake, then kudo's to you, because you mare a much better ridder than most.

you might only use it for dj, but if you take it up the lift to jump you still have to ride it down a trail from the jumps with no brake...thats why they didnt let you take it up.

eh janes addiction, greetings. what he said. for real. this kinda argument is stupid. consider the liftees position. you could be gods gift to mtn biking, but he lets you up the chair, you eat shit because of a otb gone bad, and its his ass on the line-as well as the hills. out there in lawyer land im sure someone could stir a good lawsuit together abot reckless endangerment or something that'd make a mint. it doesnt matter how good you are, they have to make generalizations to cover their own asses. i havent seen anyone- as much as i like your bike, its dialled- riding big mtns in BC with a HT no front brake. at least not on a resort hill.

non of the major accidents were caused by renters they were all caused by bike owners.

this is the crash that caused all of the worry at blue as you can see he is wearing a full face but is just being an idiot and hitting the wooden drops with too much speed.
i hit the big drop in the p park and in a way i am really glad that it was closed the tranny on that was way to steep and it had way too much run in so im not suprised a accident like this happened

I see where you are coming from, but you made one mistake. you accidentally quoted the wrong person. This message should have been directed towards free629ride. For the most part, i agree with you. blue has done this to cover their asses.
