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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
