Three things you'd like to see removed from Mountain biking
- Thread starter Ty
- Start date
1. expensive bikes
2. expensive parts.
3. and the gearbox system. it makes it too much like a moto. i respect the designing and everything but it just goes too far. they need to concentrate on perfecting the deraileur.
and eddie i totally see where you are coming from, but we need to respect the rules so we can keep riding at these places.

The three things that piss me off the most are:
1) Me not having a expensive downhill bike.
2) People who bitch, when I ride there jumps/ dh tracks and change them to suit me.
3) Not having jumps/tracks/races anywhere near my house. Those stupid bastards should be making them for me

Yeah, yeah... blah, blah.
bb7, you're absolutely right and I apologise for where this has gone. I must admit that when eddie turned my debate into a personal attack I thought "bugger that" and figured I was going to defend my position in the open forum... because it was "sort of" on topic. Sort of. Though to be honest I've totally had it with eddie and felt that the arrogant attitude needed to be addressed within the thread because I sometimes think it's those sort of attitudes that are harming the sport overall. Anyway, that was my justification... but you are right. Bad mod!bb7 rider said:
As for helmets... I never said I was going to try and make people wear them... or that I cared (personally)... I just can't stand people who think rules don't apply to them and that they can do whatever they like regardless of consequences. That just AIN'T reality.
I also apologise to Ty for my part in stuffing his thread.
I've removed the debate/crap out of this thread, for the sake of the good topic that Ty posted.
If you want to debate the other topic (race regulations), feel free to start another thread, but try it keep it reasonable with no personal attacks. The reason I didn't just split the debate in to a new thread is that it was mainly personal attacks, with not much legitimate discussion.
Can't we just have a decent discussion without it getting personal? Can you at least try...Go on, I dare ya!

1) Forgetting Why we ride.
2) Not being able to ride as well as I want to be able to (which I also love cause that's what makes mtb interesting)
3) Knockers within the sport, the smartarses with no respect for other peoples property, feelings, and initiative. There is not enough "Thankyou's" in this sport (or in the world) and too many
bitches.
While we are on thankyou's I thank Scott for Farkin, Grip, Rik, Ty, Socket etc etc. For pretty well keeping Farkin topics interesting, when others try soo bloody hard to post smart arse good for nothing posts thinking they are funny, like some of the ones /\/\/\
