peeps always want to ban threads and stuff. What else is there to even talk about in ss/fg?

1. n00bs asking for good prices/how to's without searching.
2. skid vs. brake.
3. this bike vs. that.
4. pants vs. no pants

c'mon d00ds! partay

also, messenger bags.

why? (I do it ALL the time)

As my friends constantly tell me when I mention that I've almost died more than anyone I know...

"DC, almost dead is the way that you live, ****... if you weren't almost dead, you probably wouldn't even be alive!"

The difference is that this is the fastest way to corner that bike on that track. It's a useful skill. Skidding has nothing to do with stopping, it's just showing off. It's cool with me if you want to do it, but don't make it out to be something it isn't.

I put the pic up because kenny looks cool when he skids (but I knew SOMEONE would take it seriously, thanks for playing, I can go to bed now :p )

it has nothing to do with bicycles, kinda like this thread :p

and IF your going to quote me USE THE ENTIRE FRICKIN QUOTE, EH?
don't cut it up, to make it look like I said something I didn't,...thats a load of crap
I was asking a QUESTION, NOT making a statement, but thanks for the twist, you should be in politics.

Really? Skidding doesn't stop me? So when I skidded out of the way of that car that was heading towards me, I wasn't stopping? How about when I show laypeople how I stop my bike, and than end up getting it stand still in less than 10 feet on a skid doing, I dunno, 15mph. That's not stopping huh?

Who knows, maybe the scene in AzB's town consists of strictly tight pants'd goons who learned to ride last month and just mastered the full on nuts-to-stem skid. If so, I'd concede, that IS just showing off.

There is a way easier/more comfortable way to skid. Nuts on the stem is just awkward and feels like you're going to fall out and bag yourself.

I think we should ban any and all threads that don't either interest me, or contain information that I don't already know.
