skinnies feel ill when your riding, but shorts with some shin armour looks sick too

howdyitsconnor (Oct 18, 2010 at 18:25)

i wouldnt say they look sick.

sweetonic63 (Oct 18, 2010 at 18:50)

and why is that?

howdyitsconnor (Oct 18, 2010 at 19:13)

skinnies are they way to go. especially kr3ws but that just personal opinion

Africa...right? Why aren't there any black people? What's that scene like from a class/race perspective? Are there any initiatives to get black (poor?) riders support in FR or BMX?

ruggedbonehead (Oct 18, 2010 at 22:43)

Same question came to mind.........

amajors (Oct 19, 2010 at 0:39)

yeah there is loads of project that mates of mine are evolved in building bmx tracks in townships ect.

ericpalmer (Oct 19, 2010 at 1:28)

there are more black guys riding in JHB & more coloured guys here. There are a LOT of projects to get black kids into racing & Sifiso is helping a lot with that too, so expect more black racers, but there isn't much money in this side of things, so it's normally ppl that can afford the bikes riding

ruggedbonehead (Oct 26, 2010 at 2:14)

Right on .....thx 4 the reply.....wishing you success with the projects.

good job on spelling december^^

joshleb (Oct 18, 2010 at 19:37)

Seems like a good event and all, but surely at a thing like this they would have made it compulsory to wear helmets. Not only to protect themselves, but to set a good example for kids and others that may be watching.

g-ray0wns (Oct 18, 2010 at 21:20)

They dont wear helmets for Bmx street in X games, same with street skate

ericpalmer (Oct 19, 2010 at 1:25)

boroks, Jors is Afrikaans, hence the Afrikaans spelling of December... loads of guys here also spell Saturday, Saterday because of it too. So quit being a wise ass...

amajors (Oct 19, 2010 at 1:31)

cheers Eric, these guys (die dom donders) doesn't know the lingo! anyway was a comment directed at you! these jumps looks bos befok hos kanala!

mtbtyrrell (Oct 20, 2010 at 1:20)

wouldnt say there the biggest scariest jumps out there though, so surely its down to the rider for the choice of wearing a lid?

samuelity (Oct 18, 2010 at 19:25)

we got a few POD's in this album

jedras (Oct 18, 2010 at 19:32)

i don't like jumping like that very much but the scenery is awesome

JamesAllured (Oct 19, 2010 at 12:40)

ericpalmer (Oct 19, 2010 at 21:34)

Man skinny jeans just ruin pictures for me, just can't help it. Someone needs to tell these kids they look like bunch of asscowns. Sick riding of course though.

sean-ryde (Oct 18, 2010 at 18:17)

not everyone wears baggy thug pants like you

howdyitsconnor (Oct 18, 2010 at 18:18)

i see wear your coming from but for some people its just there style, some pants feel better than others so until youve tried skinnies, then dont hate

MTBmadness12 (Oct 18, 2010 at 18:32)

i dont like skinnies either but if someone wants wear cuz he like em or so there are less thing they can catch in then he can go right ahead

C3Hove (Oct 18, 2010 at 21:29)

I'll never ride in anything but skinnies. You get some baggy jeans caught in your sprocket 3ft before a jump face, it doesn't end well. Trust me.

deej69 (Oct 19, 2010 at 5:59)

you fuck up you spelt assclowns wrong

ericpalmer (Oct 19, 2010 at 6:34)

easy, no fashion wars here... Mc Hammer pants will be next & some ass will bitch about it, so just enjoy the riding

kambc (Oct 19, 2010 at 11:32)

ericpalmer we're holding you to that, i want to see hammer pants, cause its hammer time!

ericpalmer (Oct 20, 2010 at 2:54)
