They had some whacky ideas back in 2004. Less dh gears, foam tyre inserts... madness.

One day I'll learn. Tally from today was one elbow, one shoulder (they'll grow back right?) and a new helmet.
Turns out Bell Helmets make unplanned introductions with hard ground kinda ok.
On the plus side, bike seems undamaged so I'm chalking this up as only semi-fuckwittery.

I pretty much always use the front brake under such circumstances!

Who does that anymore with the advent of dropper posts. Behind the seat is out of fashion.

Bag of dicks is right, put your heavy nuts or vejay on the back wheel.

Ahhhhh.... The butt cheek V brake and knackers on the knobbies trick.
The real skill is not to get your goolies stuck in a brake arch
All that aside, you are spot on and shifting your weight forward and back is the fun part of MTB'ing.
I ride 3xtr3m3 nancy style and still don't see why I need a dropper since I haven't had problems before but that is another story. I'm obviously missing out on something.

Like dental floss for the butt crack. You must be feeling very refreshed.

Ride to work this morning, road oriented bike with skinny tyres. Hop kerb poorly resulting in a pinch flat. Stop to repair so I'm not too late, Opened up the pack and got out the tube and pump...but 26" MTB tube isn't going to fit in a 700x23mm tyres. Hoof it back home in riding shoes.
Bonus points because Monday's ride copped a pinch flat on MTB becuase I haven't converted the new bike to tubeless yet, but didn't have a tube or pump and didn't learn my lesson about riding without appropriate spares.

^ I had a similar experience recently. I claimed that having all imaginable spares in my pack made me immune to flat tyres...oh how wrong I was! Flat tyre next run, tube destroyed. The spare tube in my pack was a torn up one I'd meant to throw out. The repair kit could resolve holes in either tube.

These Ice Spiker Pro's would make a sorry man of out anyone.

I feel a subtle underhanded jest at our local train situation...

You have a train situation there? I'm rarely up on current events.
