is just a few or do they speak for the masses?

[Simon]

I have just been catching up on a few days missed posts and get a distinct impression that a few
people here hate anyone riding something that is not a mountain bike as seen through their eyes.

I dont ride an extra light, all singing and dancing XC bike. I ride a bike that does what I want it
for. I ride jumps, drops and street...... I also ride XC and yes on my ultra heavy low geared
"adult bmx".

Personally I dont care for people that are so prejudice, its those people that give mountain biking
as a whole a very bad name.

Remember this is not alt.xc.riders equally its not alt.adult.bmx or
alt.pretentious.fools.................... its just plain old alt.mountain-bike and to me that covers
a very vast range of bikes from singlespeeds through to the latest titanium xc superbike.

Sorry if I annoy anyone but hey this newsgroup is here to allow others to express themselves

Just keep your "jumps, drops and street" BS to alt.bmx. And when you actually ride in the MOUNTAINS,
post here. Simple, isn't it?

Okay Madonna....chill Simon friggin' chill before something pops,

Peace, Bill The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind
should give an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.

Surely you can't mean me?...no matter it's all part of life. Think how boring this NG would be if
everyone had the same likes and dislikes....It'd be like lemmings over a cliff.

Diversity, it's the spice of life, enjoy it, savor it, devour it!

yep. It helps to look for the unifying factors, and not the divisive ones. Did you read Jonathans'
FAQ yet ? That's a good place to start.

Yep, anything on 2 wheels is awesome. But when it comes to Usenet, drops, jumps, street go in
alt.bmx, anything involving chairlifts goes in alt.adult-bmx, anything involving circus tricks goes
in alt.circus-tricks, and anything involving drops over 15' goes into alt.brainless-monkey.

I will have alot more fun riding down it, getting air off anything I can. Taking the steepest decent
going and drifting round corners.

Then, greg, with an inane grin of pleasure across my face one I have reached the bottom ......I
shall turn to you and say damn that was cool lets go again.

See I will ride with anyone. You will ride with only those you can comprehend.

Yep, I agree very much, but we only talk about riding MOUNTAINS here.

To me it is all about 2-wheels. I just got my ski-bob/winterXbike built up. It has 2 skis, but I
think it is going to prove to be very "wheel" like.

Get me a bottle of the pills. I think the "chill" pill doubles the effect of my "restrain" pills.
Not that I want to restrain at all, but the numbing feels nice.

Just do your "jumps, drops and street" in the mountains. That should cover
it.

JD... a decent person? Are you insulting what you think he could be be? Are you looking for failure?
You gotta stop with the USENET assumptions... hehe

He is a huge "assumed" grown man..... he would beat your ass in a heartbeat while eating a pizza.

Hey JD, want me to kick his ass?

Just don't scare any hikers, equestrians, or other cyclists.

And then we can discuss it in alt.adult-bmx.

Ahhh, you don't understand me. I ride with everyone, I even sample a bit of the forbidden fruit
every once in awhile, two-wheeled vehicles with engines in them, imagine that. But this is where we
discuss mountain biking.
