i dont understand...
You do realize that booze bitches and boobies applies to golfing too... And like 99% of the other sports.
Drop your little equality bandwagon; she's there because she wants to be and she earns a lot more than you do.
Ps: guys just call hot girls sluts because they sleep with anyone but you.
1. I also ride a stinky, and love DH just as I love all types of mountain biking.
2. I don't have any problem with NWD and that part of the sport, its unique and an integral to mountain biking, but, it isn't the only part of the sport.
What I'm saying is that this is the wrong type of video for millions of average people to see. One of the biggest troubles we have is making trails accesible, and sorry, but a corny maxim girl pathetically raking some dust at rampage is not going to make a lot of people say, "Hey, those mountain bikers really deserve some public support for them and their trails." What we really need is the type of attention (i.e. Bearclaw) that will make people want to a.) start riding, or b.) just give us a little more consideration instead of waving us off as idiots while they tear trails down and don't let us ride.
I'm not attacking our sport at all, I just don't like the way it's being publicized.
Crips, people will get offended over anything nowadays.
So stop whining -- either watch it or don't, but don't tune in about how you, as a dude, feel that women are being objectified; no one cares what you have to say about that subject because... guess what? You aren't a woman. So can it already. If we feel objectified, believe me: we'll let you know.
Thank you.
If this video makes you less likely to enjoy riding your bike, maybe you don't belong on the bike in the first place. Stop letting outside factors determine the way you feel... Because that's what ACTUALLY cheapens our sport.
EDIT : well the related video after made up for that ^^
And, I don't think many people remember this, but Mountain Biking had a weekly national outlet. It was on NBC in the early 90's. The host sucked. The coverage was weak. Crappy music. 5 minutes of race coverage. Hans Rey always had a segment. Nothing against Hans, he's a skilled travelled rider. Anybody that really rode wanted to be as far from that image as possible. "I saw a guy on tv bouncing on a picnic table. Do you do that?" Just wait, "I saw a guy jumping off a cliff. Do you do that?" It's coming, Dec 10th, tell your co-workers you're going for a ride... It is coverage, but it always seems to come at a price.
I think it's a stupid attempt to mainstream mountain biking. I for one am definitely not a fan.
Plus, since we're at it, I very much doubt any of your serious guys (against which, unlike you, I have no blatant and uncalled for prejudices) minded a hot girl hanging around. Maybe their girlfriends did, don't think they did.
