So uh.........what, you were cruising around the woods one day, came accross a hot anorexic chick sitting in some dramatic lighting and were all "yo beytoch, swig this shit, works EVERY time!"

And she's all "No thank you"



I'm just trying to figure how this lesson played out exactly

It's a big wheel joke. Try one, you'll understand then.

Colt .45, not for supermodels.

My version's way better.

Why? Because it doesn't involve road bikes.

Supermodels Don't Drink Colt .45 is actually a song by the Dillinger Four

The lyrics (http://www.metrolyrics.com/super-mod...nger-four.html) and song jumped in my head while observing some of the other riders around me at a trailhead about a week ago while heading out on a ride.

"observations while riding"

I love riding bikes... shredding is so fun... man I'm getting kinda good at this... FUCK I hate this sport /mechanical/involuntary dismount/

"FUCK it is hot out today"

Said while on a long climb on the first sunny day in awhile when it is only 60 degrees.

Yup. I'm that idiot that ruins a joke by needing it explained. Sorry



I ran into a guy yesterday who rode by as I was working on a trail. He was talking about doing that big stage race in BC. I asked him how he did and he said he had a few 'unscheduled dismounts'. A little perplexed, I said 'wait, so you have PLANNED dismounts?'

Apparently that's a thing. I had no idea. I've always just ridden until I fall off.

I am both a much shittier rider, and occasionally much better rider, than I think.

Mp3 players are way better than Discmans.

i should re punch my ski boots. five tens ought not hurt ones sixth toe. In july.

1. If you're on a mountain bike then bears are scared of you. Actually happened on my last ride. That's right bear, you're my bitch now! 2. The Silver Star mountain bike park has better strawberry picking then riding. 3. A 36oz can of miller high life is better than a 24 oz can of miller high life when riding.

"Work sucks, go riding"

Says it right on my water bottle so it must be true...

Fact! Washed out the other night on a really dry turn, no injury, no problem, just sorta stupid haha.

The new bike I need to get for my 13 year old daughter is going to be more expensive (even with my 20% off wholesale EP price) than my first 10 bikes put together. The best part is I also need to get one for her twin sister

Don't ride around blind turns too fast after a storm.

I really should bleed my brakes.

So, he's been riding pro cat for the last 12 years while I've been having kids and playing dad. Damn this is humbling, at least I'm still faster than all the guys from the office.

"Hey take a left right up there". Steep and technical is the only equalizer that will allow me to keep him in sight.

Post ride. I need to lose the 30 pounds I used to not have back when I took this shit seriously.

Yeah, at ~185 i'm on the heavy side of mountain biker, but I'm not really overweight, I just turned into a bigger dude after 25 and being in pt for my shoulder.
165 is just not going to happen.

What if you're riding down a trail and see a supermodel just standing there on the side looking all sweet and innocent. Wouldn't it be rad to jump off your bike right before you get there, land on your feet, stroll right on up to her, and say "Hey, baby. What's happenin'?" I think that would qualify as a planned dismount.

While hoping for a remount

Don't look down, don't look down, don't lo... Fuck

problem solved.

folks often wonder why i still use avid bb7 on my custom indy ti 29er. well, they work, zero maintenance for 8 years now, and why would i wanna spend all kinds of dough on some blingy brakes that i don't ever wanna use unless i really have to?

braking, don't do it if ya wanna go fast on the downs.

rog

so say you a turn has a max speed of 15 mph, and your going 25. BB7s take say 20 feet to slow 10 mph and something nicer(elixers, hopes, Shimano ICE tech, elect) take 10 feet. You are travel faster for longer period of time and braking in shorter period of time. Would that not be faster? I mean how could it not be faster.

not to mention high end Hydro are lighter which will effectively make you climb faster......

Snakes that hang out in the middle of the trail get run over.

I do not think they like it.
