yo, I broke my fibula and some bones in the bottom of my foot, got up walked, coasted to meet my friends, and then rode the rest of the way down the mtn. then drove home.....
He crashed after but still props for doing it, Watson hurt his shoulder, i heard went to hospital for a bit got it sorted out, then they let him go and didn't prosecute him for anything as he put only himself in danger and no one else or something.
It's on New World Disorder 4,but just google it,their will be a clip kicking about somewhere m8.It's a wicked bit of footage as well,right up until you see him eat dirt,even so,a very iconic moment in mountain biking,not because of the size of the drop,Garret Bueller and Steve Romanuik would be able to do this drop as smooth as ya like all day long. It's just the mix of the most iconic road race getting owned by Freeride,if only for a moment.That's what makes it a classic.Ha-ha. Gringo.
guts.. ? where the heck you need guts to just ride and ride and ride.. endurance okay.. ive never seen a follow up car with spare wheels for a mountainbiker.. we have to fix our own stuff alone
There is no need to get angry and call me names. For your interest I'm studying vehicle engineering (civil engineer) and economics (so I'll have double education, economic and civil engineer).
aint angry didnt call you names.. but if you can hold up 2 study's at the same time.. youre either full on studying (without having time to be on pinkbike)or they both real easy
Trust me, they are very far from easy (takes 5 years to become a civil engineer). Only reason I can spend some time on pb is because I've got used to make priorities in life, for instance I have no time to watch TV. All my time is taken up by studies, weight lifting and some time at the computer (programming and talking crap over the net). Education has the highest priority in my life, way ahead of biking.
Neg prop me as much as you want, these guys shows more blood'n'guts that any freerider or downhiller. Sad because they get more coverage than our sport? Guess why...
because the rest of the couch sitting world can watch this on the TV.. so they can watch lame people and they feel a bond , both being lame and due to all the sponsors who are lame what is more sad is you taking it up for them .. lame all the drugs lately they have been taking to win .... lame the discovery of an electric motor inside the bike ...lame..
but your post does uncloak some interesting thoughts.. the reason why swedish girls are hot , is maybe because they have to compensate the lame males over there ? ??
Well, we are all entitled to an opinion, you have yours and I have mine. I could answer in the exact opposite, about fr/dh being dominated by problem children, people with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, people with no self-preservation or education whatsoever. Will this make you happier?
Because this is PB, I'll get neg propped, since no 15 year old understands which of the biking branches that requires most sacrifice. Am I lame because of my opinion? Man you must be really stupid. Do you even know the fundamentals of discussions?
What's more sad is that you generalize an entire population (Swedes) and generalize an entire branch of biking. So because some of them are charged for steroid abuse and electric motor everyone does? I feel bad for you... Do you seriously think that I would believe that everyone in the Netherlands are marijuana smoking homosexual prostitutes just because some are? Man, you are stupid. Are you sure you have a higher education? It seems like you missed some of the more important stuff in the university.
the first part of your post just shows how stupid YOU are...again.. go sell your french Dh bike .. buy a road bike.. so you can ride your so called blood and guts and yes.. you can be lame ..regarding your opnion... depends how dumb it is..

Well I do, so stick to your fish'n'chips. But I guess yor too young to understand what it means to have an education. Please send me a PM when you've managed to get in to one of your countrys' top schools. It's more likely that you can manage this jump rather than getting in.
you are really full of yourself arent you .. ? with your top schools and shit.. you know you are geting more and more pathetic with every post..? @ least you must notice that.. apart of being a total retard ?
Yes, I love myself. Do you love yourself? The question is, why did you start with downhilling when you live in the flattest country in Europe? If I were you, which I thank my personal God I'm not, I'd start with road biking rather than downhilling. Where are you going to ride that new Banshee Mythic? On your 100 feet hill (aka dutch mountain)?
hey jinx. you are a fag. which rodie would care to go off an 8 foot drop. or haul a through a rock gardain. none. before you go and tell pb how hard road biking i. think about dh or fr.
jinx youre a wanker.. go pray to your "personal god" (most stupid thing i ever heard) why the f*ck would i do road riding just for the reason holland is flat.. total stupid remark.. you should pick that up since you are keeping the spirit for it so gddmm high.. spandex would look good on you ..
jinx you idiot i go to hampton school which is the top 5% of the country.
im not saying education isnt important im just saying nobody wants to hear about it here on pinkbike, this website is about biking not about boasting about your education.
Woah woah, what's up with all the hating? I haven't called you names, so don't give me any. You guys are being childish because you know I'm right. "w*nker", "f'g", "*diot", man you guys must be really good at having a discussion... But still I haven't called you anything like that.
But it's ok, I can be the martyr, just give me names and I'll try to soak it up. The fact that you get so angry is mainly because, on a subconcious level, you know I'm right. Less hate, more love.
jinx, your the only one that thinks you right. and ya, i said thinks. everyone els thinks cyberhawk is right. you the one acting like a baby. bragging and wining about how much harder it is for road bikers. its actually kinda funny.
Well, guess why road bikers have more coverage than extreme mountainbikers? Sad, because it is a fact that road biking is seen as a way bigger achievement than acting like a ADHD kid and jumping cliffs with an over built bike?
Just face it, achievement wise, road biking is light years ahead of extreme mountain biking (fr/dh).
you are getting repetitive i allready explained to your sorry ass that there are more sponsors for lame road riding cause every fat f*ck can watch it on the telly sitting on the couch..since there are more lame peeps than athletes..road riding is good for commerce and so sponsors its being held since bikes were born..so its more a relic than innovative.. the same as for the peeps watching it.. now for the bullshit about being lightyears ahead.. we ... yeah WE all (rr, xc, mtb, FR. dh)get ALL our new parts from science.. and that is payed by the military and so on.. your saint axle is space grade and space and military go hand in hand..so keeping in mind that the tax payer pays for it if you look far enough back where the money comes from..
2nd !! i have never seen a 24hour roadrace..while we (real bikers) do enduro races and so on.. we dont do doping we dont shave our legs we dont wear spandex we dont soil our pants to win we dont have a follow up car with parts > we do wear protection....and i could go on and on and on...
so actually what i am trying to say with this long story .. is that you are full of shit
and part of the reason road bikers get so much coverage is because there on the road. and if im not mistaken, roads are ment for cars, not f*cking roadies. a road by where i live has had more than 20 road bikers killed on. because stupid roadies decide that they own the road, so they can be half way in the middle. witch is dumb on there part. and then they get mad at the cty for how many deaths they have had. but no one does anything about it. because the stupid roadies are the retarded ones in this sitchiation. so before you get all butt hurt about how roadies are so much better and have it so hard, think about the facts.
cyerhawk, was that an honest try to look like a reasonable man? Your argumentation technique is below a 14 year old. Seriously, you wouldn't die if you had a look at argumentation theory, because that was just sad. Stop ridiculing yourself. You sound like a broken gramophone...
you are the sad one dude.. i think you are getting senile @ your age.. your 50 , you just cant grasp the fact i just talked your sorry ass out of this conversation.. and oonser doubled it
go get a gold fish and argue with him.. i am done with you.
o maybe you are having trouble to translate se·nile –adjective 1. showing a decline or deterioration of physical strength or mental functioning, esp. short-term memory and alertness, as a result of old age or disease
No, but you are so narrow minded and confused that I see no further use in arguing with you. You are simply too stupid to understand anything. I feel bad for you, really. Up until now you haven't been able to produce one single real argument of why dh/fr would be better than road racing, as you're only capable of hurling insults.
This will be my last post here, if you want to keep on arguing like a mouthy teenager take it to PM or don't write. The latter is better if you want to keep that tiny bit of dignity that you have left.
jinx i feel sorry for you. you dont have a real passion in life, clearly, your passion is your education, which is just sad. maybe if you were a scientist or something interesting i would understand if your education was your passion but your a civil engineer.
Reasons why DH/FR rules and why roadies can suck my dick:
1. DH/FR'ers have actually been in the air, DELIBERATELY, not just cos there tires got stuck in a drain. 2. We were baggy clothes that do not result in sweat rash and does not give us a male camel-toe. 3. We were these crazy things called... GOGGLES, not just some action-man plastic specs from the pound shop. 4. We cherish leg hair, that means we dont clog up our drains by washing it down the plug whole, but i guess thats why you do it, just so you can try your luck with the plumber when he comes to fix it. 5. WE HAVE RISER BARS HA!!
I somehow read the whole disputation. jinx and cyberhawk have both one extreme opinion. What did you two expect? that the other one says that youre right? Jinx wone because he ended it with not answering any more. Thanks to you 2 i could read a nice flaming conversation, LOL!
