I can only assume he's referencing the video of an black guy doing a crazy long wheelie thats doing the rounds on the interweb at the mo.
RedBurn is still a d1ck.
Just a thought, isn't it a bit racist to say that only black people can call each other 'nigga' because in the case of white people it is supposed to be meant derogatorily?
And for the OHMYGODHESAIDNIGGAPLZBANHIM1111! crowd, I have nothing against black people, I just think it is in everyone's interest to actually think about what is and isn't racism.
This is about using a person using a word that is commonly understood to be offensive to a certain group of people, it is offensive because it was the word WHITE upper class people used to address their BLACK slaves who were (at the time) considered to be a inferior people/race and as such treated like shit, enslaved for their entire lives, working hard for no reward and commonly killed for fun / no reason; I would say that constitutes racism, yes. Most of the rest of the world knows this.
If you choose to use the word you are choosing to use terminology that is known to be offensive to a certain race of people for historically racist reasons. This is knowingly offensive and as such racist.
PS. I cannot be arsed to argue this kind of shit on Pinkbike anymore. Go and read a history book.
If you actually read my entire (yes, all 50 words of it..) comment you wouldn't have had to write such a novel. If they find that word itself so offensive, why can't some of them finish a sentence without using it?
And I don't accept the argument that only white people can't use it as, first off, slavery stopped ages ago meaning that I personally have nothing to do with it and even if I'm guilty through ancestry, black people shouldn't use the word either as slavery was around way before the white man ever set foot in Africa.
...love the straight section mid Aline where hes no handing with two horns followed by a manual....thats normally where my ass is puckered and i have a death grip on my handlebars.
I can't believe a company like SONY, the multi-billion dollar electronics company, who has been making cameras and audio equipment for over 50 years, can't make a better POV camera than GOPRO. Which has only been in the game for less than a decade now, and totally crushing it!
I couldn't make it through this" back and forth pov" style. The sound was messed at 6min. There's been so many better quality Whistler edits this season, I cant be bothered to put my eyes and ears through this one . The riding was overridden by bad quality.
It's not even really an edit. Looks like they didn't actually edit out any parts that are not interesting, just switched POVs. POV videos are hard to get right, putting the entire run in the video is probably one of the worst ways to make one.
Guy in front was either too slow or too fast. If I got a pro racer behind me I'm gonna either get out if his way or at least get off my ass and boogie a little more. I know he was filming but come on bro.
Clearly not, just stating the obvious. The leader is supposed to set the pace not slow everyone down...and from the looks of it he was doing an excellent job at it
just before I saw the bank draft four $6660 , I did not believe that...my... mom in-law was like actualy earning money in their spare time on their apple laptop. . there mums best friend has done this for less than sixteen months and a short time ago paid the debts on their apartment and purchased a gorgeous Volkswagen Golf GTI . go...........................www.Jobsbat.com
The more I read your comment I still fail to find the link between wheelies and your n bomb.
Don't drink n pinkbike.
