Mountain Biking - A die hard rider...

Just listen to this and tell me if you can tell raiyn rides alot



PWRD by TRD (2:41:52 AM): I caught air on my bike
PWRD by TRD (2:41:59 AM): I was just waiting for the pedals to snap off
Ra1yn (2:42:15 AM): LOL

Ra1yn (2:42:26 AM): hopped a curb?
PWRD by TRD (2:42:29 AM): like I came flying off this curb...yeah
PWRD by TRD (2:42:34 AM): but there was a slant up
PWRD by TRD (2:42:40 AM): so it actually shot me into the air a bit
Ra1yn (2:42:45 AM): oh the Handi ramp?
PWRD by TRD (2:42:47 AM): yes
PWRD by TRD (2:42:49 AM): BAHAHA
Ra1yn (2:43:06 AM): I use those they can be fun

Before ANYONE jumps me on the AOL'ese I have no problem using it on an instant messanger where it belongs.

I dont' see any AOL'ese....LoL is not AOL'ese...

It's more than I use here. I'm just heading it off at the pass so to speak. I usually ignore it too.

haha you guys need to go to bed. I think we are all die hard being here at 2am talking about talking about riding. Maelstrom just bout had a stroke looking at the banshee bikes.

This is par for the course for me.

Just listen to this and tell me if you can tell raiyn rides alot

Did I miss something?

Dude, we can tell who rides here and who doesn't. Attitude and how people talk is how it can show how you ride. I've no doubt that raiyn rides quite a bit.

What the heck is a handy ramp? :D

And hammer, that was at 11pm for me. Not late at all :D

What a lovely couple.

Oh yeah... :D

Did I miss something?

Pretty funny how Raiyn already knew what TRD was talkin' about before he typed it. Don't think I've ever gotten air off one of those. I'll have to try harder.

yea, those guys are great entertainment :D . Any chance both profiles are created by same person?


Chill Ryin, I’m not getting defensive………It'll be a shame to make you hate me

...messanger...

messenger, not messanger. ;)

Nah, talk is cheap. On the internet we are all heroes. I have had the pleasure to ski with a large group of skiers that got together (in Snowbird, Utah) via the internet. What an eye opener. Not everyone was as fantastic a skier as they seemed to be on the internet. :)

There is definately a difference between knowledge and skill. I ride a lot and some technical stuff...but I am not a great rider. I don't usually trust how a person rides till I see them

It also depends on where you come from. Most riders come here, may be awesome at home but get creamed. Dhillers from cali come here and find whislter easy but still find the shore difficult. Shore riders tend to be the most technical riders around but sometimes not the fastest ( dh race speed) so depending on the course may not seem that good. Pretty funny actually :)

home turf advantage eh?

around here I rule the local Jamba Juice, yup, me and a couple of my riding buddies. So if you want to have a smoothie drinking contest bring it on!:D

Nope not home turf at all actually. Different skill levels. You could bring a cali rider up here and he is fine. Get a rider from Texas (this happened to me) and 'usually' they will not be up to par. They thought they were but when decending a few thousand feet...it takes its toll and really seperate riders.

I"m a big boy and I caught air...try it...it's possible :D

what in the name of all that is holy, a handy ramp?

yeah...you know the ramp that goes from the road to the sidewalk and b/c of it there are two little "banks" on each side of the ramp...If I see one while I'm out cycling tonight I'll take a pic

Visual aid time.

well there ya go. something new every day.

I didn't know those had a name.

I didn't know those had a name.That's what I've always called them.

When they make those and don't think about thermal expansion, the side points higher up in the air, so if you're riding on the sidewalk, you can go flying pretty far :P

They're really good on the higher curbs.

There are several members who could tell you that we are two different people in two non adjacent states with completely seperate ISP's.

I only ride off-road, but I have used those "Handi Ramps" to get a nice lift off with inline skates. They work as advertised by Raiyn and PWRD.

Since it's at least a 45 min drive to any semi decent trails. I tend to make use of what I have locally. I tend to fool around on my commuter bike in town

woah, did you draw that raiyn? cause its sweet

I didn't know those had a name.

neither did I. At the strip mall they have some pretty huge things of those because the curbs are really high for some reason.

I bunny-hop puppies with my studded Nokian sno-tires.

GRRRR!

Maybe Cyrogenic will let PWRDbyTRD jump over him >off the handi-ramp?

Oh..the urban manual ramp..so nice of city planners to think of us.

I manualed down a meridian once using one of these during traffic....It felt pretty cool.

Yeah I like those things. I can think of a 'line' of them which i go over on my way to work- I can get some decent air on them!

We could see how it goes, but I'm going to think he'll tell me something to the effect of screwing myself...

Only real big one to always watch for is chain gate.

Night urban riding nightmare.

I recently oversized my front tire and kinda forgot riding home drunk >pulled a little wheelie\ curb hop and didn't expect the front to pop so much ( forgot I undersized the rear tire later)...

Scared the crap outta me.

PWRDbyTRD do you use platforms or clipped? I use platforms 'cause I offroad and have many times tossed>been tossed so I protect my ankles by not being attached.

I thought I read you ride clipped, I was thinking how if you are heavy = fall heavily, that platforms would be 'safer'.

I like road bikes to be attached to me -mtb, I like the ability to get off -however.

Perhaps I'm a bit phobic, but I have had a bad ankle mash from being clipped and having the bike go sideways.
