Ooh, ooh, me sir! Sir, sir! Pick me!

If you didn't use google, then go on lets hear it..

Well, I didn't use Google, but I have heard the riddle before, so I suppose that doesn't count
either. Besides, it's been given away by others now.

And leave it up to us Bike Patrol folks to clean up the mess and slog thier sorry, busted, and
bruised @sses 3+ miles out on a litter, yeah THANKS a lot!

Uh huh. I'm in the NMBP too. I have never, ever had an experience in which I was able to
rationally engage an unhelmeted rider and explain to them the benefits -- both to themselves and
the riding community at large -- of wearing a helmet. Not once. And I'm a very good and convincing
public speaker.

So what are we left to do? Bring a bag of spare helmets and pass them out like candy?

Frankly I'd rather avoid the burnout that comes with being told to

helmet front, I've given up unless the riders are giving off serious "this is my first time on a
trail" vibes.

I'd actually be interested in sharing education strategies with other NMBP folks about the helmet
issue. Right now, I'm at a loss and frankly fed up with the whole issue.

Don't you mean "lack of brains"? I told this "boulderite" that a helmet is a good idea on the
trails around here. He just shrugged like some kind of daft bobblehead on the dash of a lowrider on
Whittier Blvd.

They never believe it until they smack themselves in the head.

There is one -- ONE -- exception to this I've ever met and he's a Sedona local. You'll see him on
the trail if you ride there long enough. Old-school rider, all weathered and leathery, riding a
creaky old K2 on toe clips...and the big floppy coolie hat. Smoothest rider I've ever seen, like
watching Kevin Foote on a valium bender. Never seen him even come close to dabbing. He's probably
setting a bad example for the kids, but there ain't nothing I can say to convince him to helmet up.

I just tell them that it's posted on the board at the kiosk and to be careful the Park Ranger
doesn't spot them riding without a helmet or he could confiscate thier bikes. (It'a a lie, Marty
could care less.) but it usually at least gets thier attention.

If they are giving off the "Barney Vibe" I try and steer them towards the more sedate trails and ask
them what kind of car they have and where they plan to ride, so in case the car is still in the lot
at closign time we know where to start looking for them ;-)

AHh yes, I used to ride with a guy like quite a bit.. he rode his daugthers old mixte frame,
complete with plastic toe clips, reflectors, kickstand and top mount shifters. what a trip:

Oh nice. I can see them using it as an excuse to poach trails like their lives are in danger. "But I
was just trying to stay out of sight of the park ranger!"

Yipes, I'm on the verge of becoming a JD-grade cynic.

Cute idea, though.

Yup, we do the same thing here.

Them (sans helmet, on Sears bike): "Hey, I heard there's a really hard trail called the <NAME> up
here somewhere. Can you point me toward it?"

Me: "Yes! Yes, I can. Check out <NAME OF EASIER TRAIL> right over yonder first. If you like that
one, track me down again and I'll point you to this other trail you asked about. And bring a

Smooth shows quite readily. The subject of this thread was a dude who was flopping around like a

BTW, Kevin and I had a great duel on Sunday, with about a 50/50 split, him cleaning more up and me
more down. That dude would climb a tree on his bike if gravity would let him. I'll credit the WTB

Since someone is paying for it, it's OK? What kind of idiot are you?

No dumbass, that's THEIR lifechoice, THEIR chosen proffession.

Uhh, dumbass, do they get PAID for it? It's not about the profession, it's about the MONEY.
Grow a clue.

Are you stuck in some kinda dead end job Spider. Where the only reason you continue to do it is
strictly for the money? If so, I pity you. If not, then I think you get my point.

Do it well, or find another line of work. What kind of idiot are YOU?

One who can make a distinction between the job and how it's funded, LOL!

Again, if you're stuck in a dead end job, and are there only for a paycheck, I pity you.

If they did, who would pay the bill? That's right, the locals.

Hey brother Spider, let him answer the question.

Why? I don't recall the moderator telling me anything about posting limitations...

Well I'm telling you. Butt out!

I don't recall asking you.

I realize you have difficulty grasping the concept of "public forum." I'll type slower so that you
can mouth the words better.

I grasp it just fine, quit humping my posts!

And who said he wasn't a local, perhaps HIS tax dollars would pay to haul HIS sorry ass out.

Still costs money and diverts limited resources away from other tasks. Even if it was a local, that
don't make it "OK". Did I type slow enough for you?

They work a 911 call center, I hope they do it well.

WTF do you care anyway, other than humping JD's posts?

WTF do YOU care?

Oh, I care a lot - since winding you up is fun, and produces the classic results...

Troll on then stupid...troll on

But hey, if you want to imagine that I hump *your* posts, OK. I do love your wind-up and the fit
you pitch...

LOL.
