I'd fill in for him but my probation no longer allows me to whip things out.

@baylenc1, don't you mean Amanda Batty, or did PB commentors drive two Batty's away?

No it's Amanda Batty

The community only seems to be able to remember one Batty though...

scott-townes (Aug 11, 2015 at 20:18)

They left PB because of jokes that are slightly dirty? Something tells me it had more to do with kids straight up saying they want to f*ck them... who knows. Either way, oh well. I'm sure we will see shots of him whipping it out sooner or later and damn, I'm more excited to see that than Sandusky watching a youth league game.

@baylenc1 - As a few people pointed out, it was Amanda Batty and if you read her blog it wasn't over silly double-entendre
jokes like mine that aren't even aimed at any particular gender/group. If anything your last comment saying the 2 Battys are
the 'same thing' and that 'they both ride bikes and look good' without any reference to how well they ride would likely be more offensive to either of the ladies.

ahhhh thats why there's been less pseudo feminism as of late

baylenc1 (Aug 11, 2015 at 21:35)

This is like a political debate.

game (Aug 11, 2015 at 21:40)

yes, and you're the brainwashed 15 year old result of it all lol

baylenc1 (Aug 11, 2015 at 21:41)

Just like Donald Trump?

Amanda Batty left Pinkbike for various reasons, one of them being blackmailed by wankers, insulting her straight forward by throwing slxts, whxres feministic bxtches and all sorts of crap. Even through Facebook. Her case completely changed my way of seeing things. Mountain Biking is such a friendly community.

MTBCAM (Aug 12, 2015 at 7:44)

@makripper I've sessioned with Amanda...she doesn't suck. Also, she is not a feminist. She is actually a pretty radd chick and she could ride circles around most guys on here...

WAKIdesigns (Aug 12, 2015 at 8:00)

After what I've seen with Amanda, I am not surprised by a tiniest margin that women seem to stay away from forums and also ride in women packs without dudes. I don't care about feminism, that sht was and is fkd up, some dudes should kill themselves right away before they get offspring, preferably in a compostable way. Now I am sure a girl like Emily Batty orbits further from Pinkbike "audience" than Sun from the center of galaxy. If you are smart enough, you just stay away from the black holes when you know where they are, that's all I am saying.

MTBCAM (Aug 12, 2015 at 8:08)

Word^^^

taskmgr (Aug 12, 2015 at 10:30)

Nah came across her instagram. She's not that good. If she was she'd be winning races.

taskmgr (Aug 12, 2015 at 10:38)

And she's definitely not that attractive. Pb users are strange folk.

MTBCAM (Aug 12, 2015 at 10:46)

@makripper Wow dude...You must have been one of the dudes she was blogging about huh? Since when does a female riders looks have anything to do with how they rip? Amanda is a pro for a reason. Lets hear more from you when you get a factory deal ok? The thing is you could be an amazing rider, but with an attitude like that no company would want to even touch a douche bag like you. You'd be bad PR.

taskmgr (Aug 12, 2015 at 12:30)

It doesn't. It's just hilarious how the pb community yells from about how attractive they think a female bike rider is. Factory isn't that interesting in mtb. She isn't factory though so what are you trying to say? She has a Scott dh bike and a knolly am bike. Far from factory.

MTBCAM (Aug 12, 2015 at 13:31)

I've sat on her Gambler, its for sale btw. I never said she was factory, she rides for competitive cyclist. And she hasn't raced much in 2015 because of injuries. But if you go here www.amandabatty.com/#!resume/c76t you'll see what she's accomplished. Lets see your race resume. And don't pretend for a second that if a company like Knolly or Scott offered you factory you'd be like, "Oh nah, that's not that interesting. But thanks anyways."

WAKIdesigns (Aug 12, 2015 at 14:33)

@MTBCAM - If you see her again, please send my biggest greetings

If I'm ever in Utah, I'd totally try to hook her on a bike date. She seems a bit mad, I like it. Cheers!

MTBCAM (Aug 12, 2015 at 14:59)

@WAKIdesigns I'll probably run into her, shes a mutual friend with a few people I ride with consistently. I'll tell her you said what's up lol.

Korea848 (Aug 13, 2015 at 0:53)

I'm used to PB comments veering away from the subject of the article but damn, this string really took it to another level.

I wish Finn the best of luck in recovery. Kid is a beast!

I was in Whistler earlier this summer and was with my buddies on the side of a trail at a junction in Garbo and I saw Finn coming down a trail from where we had come. I recognized him due to his bright light blue and white kit and I had seen him killing it all over the park during my time there. As we watched him come closer to us, he took a seat and soared over a pretty big table SEATED and landed SEATED like a boss. He was so smooth it didn't matter. A guide that was with us said: "And that's NOT how you're supposed to do it guys. That's really dangerous. But it's Finn so there's an exception to every rule. Haha." Super talented kid! Makes it look so easy.

Hes 15. He should be healed by the weekend

PA610ripr (Aug 11, 2015 at 16:58)

I watched hes crash it was pretty bad. Thought you were dead kid.. but like a true warrior in training he got right back up. Good deal.

ham661 (Aug 12, 2015 at 3:03)

Brutal

Karpiel073 (Aug 12, 2015 at 5:56)

There's video of the crash? Where?

PA610ripr (Aug 13, 2015 at 9:43)

Sorry didnt catch it on video. Him greg minnarr and gwin went down at same section one after the other.

apartmentwhale (Aug 11, 2015 at 20:27)

Saw this crash and considering his speed and the terrain I'd say he faired quite well. He used a photog to break his fall instead of boulders. He wins Crash Off Worlds. Even more impressive - he just walked that shit off!

twozerosix (Aug 11, 2015 at 18:49)

Getting hurt sucks. Was hoping to watch him in the Whip comp again. Learning to fall correctly is a priceless skill that could save your life someday, or at the very least your hand.

bikebike69 (Aug 11, 2015 at 18:21)

Welcome to the club little bro.

sunshine80 (Aug 11, 2015 at 20:55)

Saw the video, nice huck Finn!
