Mountain Biking - Imagine for a second....

What it would be like if we all lived close enuf to ride together....

"I Can Only Imagine"

Have a great ride everyone !!!!

:beer:

it would be chaos. If you look at the general trend of threads here, it takes just one to spoil a thread and make a near pandemonium, imagine in person.

They'd be left behind after the 1st turn I suppose.... You'd quickly see who was all talk, huh?

Yep. I think there was a guy here not long ago who said he has some high end RS shock when in reality he has a insync or something, i dont know ask raiyan. Its amazing how different people are online, or hte stuff they do that they would never do in person. I think its the thrill of having people not know who you are

We do live close enough to ride together. Lucky us,we also have great places to ride.

I'd love to go ride with anyone on here... It's always fun to ride.

Think how quickly the new people would learn things though, we've got alot of experience on these forums now i would imagine :d

BTW, Maelstrom.... Coming to live in Canada in about 15 years time, wanna hook up for a ride? :D

I would intentionally space myself from all you foos! You'd end up killing me, but I'd still hang around...no first turn w/ the pack for me :D

I'd probably get annoyed with the wannabe's before the first turn, turn around and go hit the dirtjumps.

headphones fix this :D

I've hooked up with a couple of forum members. I've ridden with SamDaBikinMan, Raiyn (yes, I've ridden with him and he's a nice guy!), and became friends with H.Star.

Lord Opie and I were supposed to get together for a ride during his visit to his Mom's during Turkey day, but it never worked out.

There are a lot of people here who I consider friends and would love to one day hook up for a ride with. (a couple of the female members as well;) )

If anyone is ever down my way, let me know!

The progression would be unreal. Everyone able to push everyone. I love riding with better riders than myself :)

I've heard good things about opie. SlcPunk rode with him last year...

There are people on here I wanna ride with. Konarider would push my progression level big time. I wanna ride with you...slcpunk I rode with but he isnt around online much since moving to WA. DBD I wanna chill with sometime but he isn't around. A few others on here over time I wanna ride with (some are coming out this summer actually ;)) or have some beers with :)

Fer sure, It would be a blast.Let the racer hammerheads go, some would stop to hit the freeride spots on the trail and some would just spin along shooting the breeze. Good times for all. Kona, the wannabes would stay home anyway.

I was down there 2 weeks ago visiting my parents in Mountverde for a week. It's near Lake Apopka. I spent one day at Caladesi Island which is near you if I'm not mistaken. I'll bring my bike next time.

I don't know what I would do if everyone showed up. They would leave me in the dust. hehehe

Don't worry, hoolie, I would hang back and teach you how to manual. :)

Lol Thanks! :D

To be honest I would be hang around for anyone right now I have enough pride to stay behind and help the real newbies.

teach me to manual? :D

Killer B and mtnbiker66 are within a couple of hours of me... However, I have no car so it's not like I'll be making my way over there to ride with them. :p I wouldn't mind riding some of the trails over there though.

NathanK (I think) is probably coming to this part of the country to visit his folks and ride, we might get together and ride with some other local friends if it all works out.

Konarider-it's people like you that make me appreciate mountain biking besides the actual biking part. I am relatively new to mountain biking and would love to go with a bunch of people better than me so I can be pushed. Its the people that are better than others and let everybody know about it that I cant stand. Thats my two cents.

I agree... I like to learn from people who are better and more skilled than myself... and it's especially nice when they take the time out to stop and show you what you're doing wrong and help you improve.

Some of my best rides have been when I've been a ride leader showing some newbies some of the local trails.

A Newbies excitement permeates everyone in a group. Remember the first time you rode a "real" trail? I was "glowing" with the adrenaline flow. I ride that same trail now, and it's like, "ho hum, same old trail". Then I think back and remember I was SOOOOO stoked to be riding that day!

Raiyn (yes, I've ridden with him and he's a nice guy!)
Thanks for blowing my image. :roflmao:

I've been know to lie on occasion.

Also, I can never find that "sarcasm" emoticon.

Oh yeah that's you all over the place.

Do you often find your pants on fire? When you do find them on fire are they, in fact, hanging from ... a telephone wire?

I'm taking my mtb club out on sat to ride some more tech. trails.They have ridden mostly dirt roads and easy single track up to now. My bud thats a pro is going to come out and ride with them. It will be a challenge for them but I think they will have a blast.Oh by the way my bud picked up full sponsorship for this race season,Cane Creek is his main sponsor paying the bills,Specialized bikes,Maxxis tires,Fox forks.My bud is really busy so it's cool that he will take the time to ride with a bunch of kids.I'll make sure his sponsors know about it!

I rode with SamDaBikinMan a couple years ago when I was down his way - he's a cool guy. Man, he drove all over Atlanta to pick me up, take me to the trail, and drive me back. Good guy, he is. Sam, if you read this, when you comin' up here to visit your aunt? One good turn deserves another...
