That was deletable? No wonder I've been replaced.

OK, ed, I have a question: If I kept riding east, I would eventually wind up on your front porch. Now, as I see it, that's damn near as far east as I could ride before it actually became 'East.' So, how in the ^$#&%^%*@ is that the 'Midwest?' Seems to me, mid-West would really be somewhere around Jackson Hole.

Very close! A monument at Meades Ranch KS was the geodetic center of the lower 48 for many years.

Close; but, as you can see, I wasn't nearly as handsome nor have I ever been able to grow a real beard:

The clue to my avatar is in the text above it. Google it, along with "SNL." It will make sense

He does that to get us scrambling for our dictionaries. He is - - sometimes disgustingly - - well-read.

Well over here we don't call it the Midwest, we call it crap.

I believe "geek" is the more correct term, but I don't expect a dork like you to know the difference.

It's too bad we have to work. Can you imagine how much riding we'd get to do if we didn't have to spend time on BF? Makes me cry. Ed, can I ride my bike now?

ed 09-26-11 05:00 PM

the porker is out of commission for a while i was shredding the MUP with it and came to a cross street and saw that there was a curb but it was like a 6 foot to flat curb so i hucked it and it did fine but then i got back on the mup and got mugged but then i got it back because i'm so hard and then i felt invinsible and rode it over a speedbump and must have overcompressed my rockshocks and brake my forks

Ah yes, the surveyor DNA is just teeming with social genes.

I don't think "sociopath" is the same as "socially inept."

Did I ever mention that I was totally set up for that pic? 66 was like "here, hold this" and I was thinking "okay, now why the hell did he bring a bush axe to the gathering, that seems pretty odd, i better keep an eye on this dude" and then he was like <click>.

So your saying you were out smarted by the dude from Podunk?

Ed,

Why am I such a hack?

Why are BMXers more often ******-bags than MTBers?

When will I have time/transportation to go to the trails again?

All the best,
Sam

1. Because you seek me for advice.:lol:
2. BMX'ers rock. The only ones who rock harder are urban BMX'ers...and me, of course.
3. When you become friends with the BMX'ers and talk them into driving you to the trails.:thumb:

Can't speak on the attitude of any urban riders, as I haven't exchanged words with any. I definitely like/envy their style more though.

I showed up at the BMX track with my newly acquired 20" bike yesterday when they happened to be working on the track & the first thing I hear is "who the f*** is this guy?" in an unpleasant tone, proving that I'm well within earshot. Then I asked politely if the track was closed & I got completely ignored after asking three times before someone decent came over & talked to me. If they were working & tired/grouchy, I could understand it, but these guys were just sitting on top of a berm while everyone around them was working. The track wasn't closed after all (with the exception of the last straight) but then it occurred to me that I had no brakes & there were a few dozen people working/riding around the track, which might prove to be dangerous. So I left feeling somewhat defeated.

I guess it should be noted that they were all much younger (maybe 15-16?) & I never really got along with the average guy that age, even when I was one of them. But still, I didn't have the same problem with any of the skaters/bikers at the skatepark.

Are you still sticking to that "brush axe" story? That wasn't the way I heard it.
