Copy and past if hyperlink does not work.
That was intense. Did you break the fall with your face?

I don't think it has anything to do with the fact that you're dumb...you're just not a very good rider.

Keep practicing.

From the looks of the video, it seems to me like you need to be a little lighter on the rear brake .

As soon as you felt the back wheel coming around on you, the best thing to do would have been to get off the brake and back on the gas. Power slides are completely manageable once you realize you have to pedal through them.

You might want to stay off the singletrack until you have a chance to practice a bit.

Everybody falls off sometime. I ride some very technical downhills, but almost stacked it over a kerb the other day. But then i suppose i'm not that great on the rough stuff!

While we all make typing errors, and some of us may not have grown up with English as our first language, it's in the forum rules that we show respect to all forum members. I'll give you guys a few minutes to edit your posts, and then I'll go in and fix whatever's not acceptable.

Meme, I'm outing you publicly. Please let us know what country you are from, and what your primary language is. Perhaps that will foster a bit of understanding here.

Time's up. Pencils down. Seriously guys, I'm sure meme is from someplace where English is not their primary language. I can't make much sense of his post either. Heck, I'm not even sure I catch the gist of it. But it seems quite apparent that he's not totally familiar with English. Get over it. He's (or she) is here because they share a passion for cycling, just like us. Ricardo Khun has atrocious spelling, but none of us makes fun of him. (Ok, he's Colombian, maybe we're all afraid?)

Cheers,

Expatriate

Not to be offensive or disrespectful, but if you are a product of American schooling, your teachers have a lot to answer for. I never would have thought that anyone with such bad grammar could have grown up in an English-speaking environment.

Actually I might be a product of UK schools if it wasn't for my good dental hygiene and aversion to horrible food. Nevertheless, I am a product of American schools, both public and private.

Rephrase: It is amazing that the google website people now have videos of people who ride on this forum. It's always cool to make big dirt clouds while riding into turns.

?? Did I get it right or should I still be lost :S
