This Sunday, Sept. 16th Kurt Sorge and Ryan Howard are facing off head-to-head in the first-ever game of B.I.K.E. played over Facebook.
The game's host, local legend Graham "Aggy" Agassiz welcomes Ryan Howard and Kurt Sorge to his home turf in Kamloops, BC. Since he can't compete himself because of his broken leg, Aggy promises to make the riders throw their best tricks off the park's biggest features.
First tricks drop 10am Pacific on the RockShox Facebook page. Tune in to http://www.facebook.com/rockshox to watch and participate in the game.
Pffffffft, that's BS. No comparison in entertainment value, especially when comparing the knarly track in Norway to a short bike park, wanna -be BMX dirt jump course.
What happens if one of guys gets injured on one of the first stunts; game over, fans disdained, event is a complete bust. So knowing this they will probably start out with relatively easy tricks, which will be lame. It would be better to have at least 4 or 5 guys competing, but this obviously was not well thought out.
Also, how do they take account of style points? They cant; this is essentially a gymnastics on two wheels competition. Your time will be better spent going on a ride.
Do you even ride protour. Your profile says you ride "anything". Which also means "nothing".
Every comment I see you make on this website is a short novel , and it's always a debate with some other Pinkbiker. Learn to fit in or leave already , you Goof.
@ epavichthesavage. I don't think "Learn to fit in or leave" is a good way to live your life.. what ever happened to originality? Although Mr. I'm-going-to-write-a-novel-to-show-how-stupid-I-am up there is indeed a "goof"
I never negative prop, anybody's comments, you are a paranoid delusional if you think that. What difference does it, most people probably are curious and read it anyways.
The negative props don't bother me a bit, especially when nobody posts any valid comments to counter what I write. I get it though, sometimes the truth hurts and you feel like you can make a difference by pushing a button on your keyboard.
If you really want to make a positive difference fight for your future and start talking about global warming. If things keep going how they are we are all completely f*cked, and it's going to happen sooner than you think, kiddos. Negative prop that if you don't care about your future.
You cared enough to post again and to say that if we neg prop you that we don't care about our future... Are you on crack? Do you even ride? What's your purpose? Even though I really hate the term "troll" that's the best way to describe you.
Also how can one counter a post that didn't have any point to counter to begin with? Hell why aren't you countering people's posts about how you don't ride, kiddo?
If you read my first post, you will see that I made some points; about the comparison of this and the DH race and about the format of this contest.
I'm not countering peoples comments because I don't care about that, and even if I did I couldn't really prove that I ride, This is the internet, dummy, not real life.
You know Protroll , don't leave just yet. You add some much needed personality to this place. Please , write another convoluted essay that I won't read
Protroll, I think you should see a doctor. At best you just have a learning disability and some anger management problems. At worst you're a full blown raging retard. It's often hard to tell through the internet & if you really are clinically retarded then I think quite a few people may agree that you're owed an apology. I don't spend much time in the forums here so this is the first time I've seen anything you've written. I suppose others have a better idea about how incoherent & scatterbrained your posts are.
You must have some interest in what this website is about otherwise you wouldn't be here, unless you actually think "Pinkbike" has anything to do with global warming. Where does that even come from? Like I said I haven't read your other posts. This page was a list of videos covering a small contest sponsored by Rock Shox where a few bros get together & actually ride. Try it sometime! If you have any friends to ride with I mean. It might do you good to relieve some of your stress. If I were to give you my thorough assesment of "knarly" between DH & DJ you might not like what I have to say. I don't find riding a bike down a hill as fast as a person can to be all that entertaining. So one guy is a bit faster than another. Big deal. Anyone can ride a bicycle down a hill. It's not that hard. Some just do it a bit faster than others. You have your opinion, I have mine. Some people are actually even entertained by watching others play golf. Maybe you're just opposed to small contests? Maybe you should be a contest organizer since you seem to be so passionate about that kind of thing & you at least think you know how to do it better than the people running B.I.K.E. Just go see a shrink first huh?
ButtonPusher, awesome name! How appropriate for this thread. Yes, again with the global warming...do you like that subject? Know what a positive feedback loop is? Hint: it's not what I'm receiving from you guys here.
Protroll, you're a true hero... you're suggesting i'm the one pushing peoples buttons..? You, who come on a thread about an event just to call it bs, you who call down Aaron Gwin... and I am the one pushing peoples buttons... this is the second rant about i've seen on here in the past couple days... i'm not sure if you were responsible for the 1st one and i don't care to check... while it is an important issue; ranting about it on a website for bike enthusiasts is not helping your cause or getting anyone involved... it only makes you look like someone who could benefit from a therapist... If you're not receiving positive feedback i'd suggest trying to NOT let your fingers spew a bunch of sh*t from your brain and onto the internet... reply if you want, but i'm not going to feed the troll any further, i'm out...
-409? hes getting under alot of peoples skin I think, I'm personally not offended but if anybody is sit back a minute and take a chill pill hes just trolling with alot of crap that makes little sense
i dont think i have in years hahah. you ever have some BRs right before a road gap?? Your heart is racing even harder it's insane. just enhances the riding so much. try riding some stellar singletrack on a bit of gooms and you will absolutely blow your mind.
I was spectating.. but seriously guys.. not to cool, i used to ride baked alot.. have my sesh of riding.. then maybe a doobie then some easy shit dinking around. As far as drinking alcohol.. not cool, My AC joint in my right shoulder now sticks out again 2 inches when I'm around 220lbs.. (im at about 240-245lbs right now hehehe) and itll be messed up for the rest of my life. Did a stair gap ive hit 100 times.. tanked.. annnnd landed on the rail at the bottom.. now more drinking + jumping!
i was there and i watched the whole thing ..R-dog won the first game and they moved onto a whole differnt section where Sogre won that game. Guess they did not end up showing the second game they played. It had some huge jumps and way more bigger tricks thrown...Thanks rock shox for putting up such a great event. They were hoping for a best out of 3 games
they threw down some bangers on the pro line at the bottom as well. I'm guessing first time bugs and glitches are culprit for not showing the 2 other games. Unless all the beauty RED cam footage is being saved for a sweet edit. Glad I went in person, thanks Rock Shox!
Yea.. the planning wasnt really on the ball.. they were apparently there a week early to set everything up. They tried having 39 subs, all different orders, ordered at 11:30amish and expected them to be ready and there within about an hour or so.. plus drinks n snacks. so nobody working/riding had lunch till about 1-2pm when the pizza they ordered arrived.
