yeah ... run off a cliff ...... Idiot :notamused:

I hope he never trips near a rider

his dad paid him no attention when he was a wee, little elk - or whateverthehell he is.

He shows up quite a bit throughout both the Giro and TDF from what i recall and seems every time, he keeps a decent amount of distance. Moron? Maybe.

Europe has Didi...we have "Antler Guy". I'm ok with it.

he's actually a pretty nice guy. i'm surprised to see him in europe. everyone keeps saying how dangerous he is and so far he's hurt noone and vandevelde and horner and horrillo have broken bones and ridden off ravines. jeez guys this is bike racing........

ho-hum :lol:

With Ed's blessing, I'm going to the Tour de France with a loaded pistol. I will then proceed to run alongside the peloton, waving the barrel of the gun in their direction. My finger will be out of the trigger guard, though.

I look forward to Ed defending my character when pictures of me not hurting anyone pop up on the internet.

well at least he'd probably feel pretty bad if he tripped and gored a couple pros...

...as I imagine Didi would if he speared someone with his pitch fork

I was thinking the same thing ed.

Currently the #1 post on Reddit (http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/8mg2k/run_montana_run_pic/)

I thought it was weird that he'd be running along in his road shoes, but he mentioned that Sidi pays him to wear their shoes. Might be money well spent--he's got us talking about him and looking at his photos.

Props to him I say.
He's no different than Didi, or the Specialized angel (ok she didn't run)
or the schluggies (sic) as bobke calls them, or any other colorful characters seen
on the road at any major tour.

odd line breaks in each
of your posts?

No different except for the large horns that could kill somebody if he trips.

You wanna come to the Emo side with me? It's lonely over here sometimes.

I can't say for sure...but the antlers may be fake (http://forums.roadbikereview.com/showthread.php?t=163736) (post #13).

I figure that these guys running alongside with huge flags waving to be more of a threat to riders, hate to think what would happen if a strong gust happened to blow the flag into a wheel.

How about that pointy tip... Is it fake as well?

How does he afford to go to all of these tours? That's what I want to know. What job will allow me to be gone for the TOC, the Giro, and the TDF as well as allow me to pay to get there and enjoy it?

They're all a hazard. I'm all for goofiness & having fun, but leave the racers alone and don't jeopardize them.

remember that little girl who sliced thor's arm with a cardboard finger or the other little girl who hooked armstrong's handlebars with a musette, taking him down?

**** happens man and it's part of the sport.....:eek:.

Incidental contact is not the same as an idiot running along side you with antlers.

dude go ride your bike....that's within your power. quit sweating the things you'll never be able to change like antlerman and cavendish :cry:.

What about the guy at the TDF that ran out in front of the motorbike? Not only did he get run over, but the gent on the back whaled on him as well.

Some guys try too dang hard for their 10 seconds of fame. They go down looking more like fools for eternity.

airplane mechanic == free flying (depending on who ya work for). lucky basterd.

but does it equal enough time off for vacation to do TOC, Giro, and TDF? That's a ton of time off in the year.

maybe he doesn't have a job anymore or he works part time ... you know the airlines have been hammered and have cut way back.

ed rader

somebody mentioned he gets sponsorship ????

it was already bad enough that Didi "the Devil" Senft has sold out to Luk.

Anything can be 'faked'. But I'll take ed rader's word that they are not - only thing i could find was that post on that other forum.
