Didn't you see that canadian 263 meg vid? He is a "businessman".


Nice business, his tryanny and ignorance has lead to the downfall of that site...i see an average of oh...4 posts a day. I'm going to laugh in 2 months when its done for good. But I do like the big changes hes made, oh wait...no - hes been promising those since around 2001. Good updates though

like said above trials takes time to learn and posers want the best and fast. i know of a few posers. an example is somebody buying a 4k DH bike (sc bullit, shiver dc's, ck hubs etc) and not going bigger than 5 feet. FUCKING RIDICULOUS. he wants a vp free now. FUCKING RIDICULOUS

you made a funny... measuring skill in feet like that counts... tee hehehe

yea i was being brief because not many people here ride FR :ugh2: anyways, he is not super fast (but not super slow). story short he doesn't need such a nice bike to do what he does. a 1700 stinky would serve him well.

Good comments on the DH posers. Downhill is by far the most poseur-filled cycling sport, even worse than road biking. A poseur on a $4000 pillow bike who never even attempts shit is FAR sillier than a roadie poseur on a titanium wonderbike who *tries* to keep up and gets dropped off the back.

This sequence of events actually happened:

<DH POSER> OH NOES!!!! A pair of water bars 20 feet apart! I need to crawl over them at 2 mph because I am teh :greddy:

<XC WEENIE ON RIGID BIKE> Double it, bitch. Better yet, why don't you go REALLY FAST and land, *safely* on the flat beyond it with your $3000 suspension?

<DH POSER> Umm, I think those rocks are kinda loose.

<XC WEENIE> *proceeds to ride down the hill. fast.*

<DH POSER> Gosh I better prove my manliness or something...... *goes halfassed, cases, front wheel bends like a pretzel, scratches brand new Troy Lee full face helmet on teh loose looking rocks*

<XC WEENIES and ONLOOKERS> :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

as for squids, there are tons of squids in the snow sports... that is hilarious.

I'm a Poser, I have the nicest bike and I suck at riding.

No. I'm a poser. I have a new bike and I suck way worse than you.

 

[Elan]

[hydroboy]

So, what is defined as a poser? Your definition is weak. If I can do something and you can't, does that make you a poseur? I don't think DH is all that bad. I ride local trails regularly (There's a lot of them) and see many people riding their bikes and aren't all that good. If someone else has something nice, does that instantly make him a poseur? I think poseur-ess comes from the fact that you may be good at what you do, but seeing someone on a bike that you want and can't afford pisses you off... so you have to be-little that person in a different way.

"people are to worried about what other people have"

If the XC-weenie in your story was Cedric Garcia, and DH'er were you (and lets say you were pretty good in a sport class), you would change your mind about who the poseur is.

So, based on your statement (in quote), most every Downhill Skiier should be a poseur too.

STFU and just ride.

 

[ascentrek]

no, i a poser, just because. and i have a wide front wheel

Do you have a 'posting' quota?

 

[AndyT]

A poser is someone who...poses?


Ascentrek what he was trying to say is, say an average joe on the street who can ride a bike- just like anyone else. Might be able to pull the front wheel over curbs. Now give them a $6,000 downhill bike, and all they do with it is ride to class. THAT is a poser.

 

[Elan]

im a poster. i have a posting quota, no. i post because this i basically my only social function. i come home fro mschool or work, and i sit on my computer for 5-10 a night... i am serious.

 

[AndyT]

elan imagine if you dedicated that time to riding a bike


You'd be way less cool though...

 

[Elan]

ah, yes... actually, i ride my bike in my basement every night..haha... thats gay. but there is snow outside. wait till summer doodes, youll get annoyed with me because i want to ride so much.

as for being less cool. is that possible?

 

[AndyT]

For my first 3-4 months of riding I was in a basement 90% of the time :hs: Thats what happens when you start riding in november in new jersey.


On a funny side note I remember getting some used roach DS shin guards and using them in that base ment oh so long ago....Guess who I bought them from?
