Those are actually the only jeans I currently own that fit me, and they're pretty damn nice.

Ok...we wont tell you.



I'd also like to take this time to say that whilst riding a mountain bike in a skatepark is silly, i don't hate on the people who do it. I only wonder why they just can't ride a regular bmx and save their mtb for the woods and stuff.

Riding trails on an mtb makes alot more sense, but even then, they case alot of the jumps at our local spots and their shocks make it so they can still ugly through the section. It's quite a site.

Meh. Leave the DJ's for the BMX guys for the most part, but when I do ride I never lock up and NEVER drop a bike on the landing ramp. That screws it up, and that pisses people off. Also, I never ride DJ's right after it rains.

No no no, you see this was just an observation of the majority of the riders around me with bigger wheels.

I'm sure there are respectful MTB trial riders somewhere else...just only a handful here.

OK, so what do you call respectful MTB trail riders?

Guys that aren't jerks and don't mess up the trails that the bmxer's worked so hard to make. Am I right Kinetik?

Here, it's mostly the other way around. We build the jumps, smooth it out and the BMX guys come in, bail on landing and leave ruts with their pegs. Of course, that's no worse than stupid poser kids on MTB's skidding out on the landing ramp.

Word. Those are the only jeans worth wearing.

Speaking of messing trails up some idiot came on his dirt bike and tore through all my stuff.

Well, put them where idiots with dirtbikes can't find them.

fuzzbox 08-19-07 10:29 AM

It's in the desert across my house. Making it some neighbor.

I repeat. Put it where idiots with dirtbikes can't find it.

fuzzbox 08-19-07 10:37 AM

Too bad I'm not going to move them because some idiot just moved in there.

Mod Note: Fuzzbox, watch yourself. This is your warning.

Ones that don't mess with the lips because "they're too steep."

BMX posers do that too.

CMcMahon 08-19-07 11:39 AM

Except these aren't posers I'm referring to.

If they're messing with lips because they're too steep they are

The bottom line here is that no matter what size your wheels are, if you are going to ride someone else's trails you need to show some respect to the people building it all. Offer to help build before you ride, or during your session, especially if you go often.

If you case, bail or in any other way screw up or put ruts in a lip/lander, then you need to fix it, or tell someone that knows where the tools are at so they can help you fix it.

You also never tear down anyone else's jumps, nor do you change the lips angles just because you can't hit a jump, because i assure you someone can ride that jump just fine.

And finally, you never ride wet trails.

Seriously, those dirt bikers rode em wet which made everything 10x worse.

Riding wet trails is just stupid. Dirtbiking is not. I would much rather be on a motocross bike than a BMX. Or anything with pedals, really.
