 Did expect some hardcore action, left me kind of disappointed :/ too bad, since they are some of my favorite riders to watch, especially fearon and ropelato.

 I want to ride there so much that it hurts. Knowing that I probably never will, makes it hurt even more.

 @WAKIdesigns: Not that easy I'm afraid. I have no job and the only chance for me is the local factories. Unfortunately they only hire through recruiting companies, which so suitingly only hires immigrants. In short words, I'm a forced criminal worthless piece of shit.

 @emponix: how dare you ride mountain bikes if you are poor? It's like taking a bus to the golf club.

 @WAKIdesigns: That's my style Smile I'm kind of a hard dude so mountainbiking fits me perfectly. I clear climbs on my alu endurobike almost the same pace as the xc guys on thier carbon rockets. I can be hard on myself out there and gentle to other people the rest of the time, slowly becoming a gentleman. Best of all, it's cheaper than golf!

 No matter what you say, golf is better than frisbee golf.

 @RedBurn: ADHD since birth made me fail everything in school, teachers calling me stupid and idiot didn't help. I couldn't read a single page and understand what I was reading until a couple years ago. Now I can channel my focus, but it only works when I'm alone in the room. Easypeasy right? Smile

 @WAKIdesigns: Agreed. Frisbee golf is like Yoghurtquarg, totally unnecessary.

 @emponix: Sell the bike, get a working-holiday visa, find a job in Q-town, get a used bike, ride like there’s no tomorrow!

 @WAKIdesigns: frisbee golf is great. Get super stoned and drunk and walk around in the woods. Was the only activity I could do the summer I broke my wrist!
