This new freeride board is reminding me alot of other inferior boards out there...hem hem cough pinkbike,mtbr...hem cough

anyone agree?

So don't use it. The whole point of having it is for those threads that seem to bug some people. Now those threads have their own forum but you are still compelled to look?

I love it, people in the DH threat complain about the FR types. FR types get their own forum and people come in here and bag on it. Actually other than the posts where people are making fun of the forum things look good to me.

Yeah I totally agree with you. This forum seems to be a great addition to this website. It really isn't like pinkbike.com at all. None of the "That bike is gay" type of stuff here.

I think that we all agree that for you to come in here with this post makes you look like an a$$... :mumble:

Then why are you in here? Seriously, if you don't like it, don't look. This is why there is a DH and FR forum now.

**yonton228** · 05-26-2005, 01:34 PM

no prob.

I agree. I'll consider this a safe haven from Dominionists DW body guards, elitist BS regarding honest questions etc but I swear to god if anyone in this forum says anything along the lines of "well mine is custom tuned for my weight and riding style" I will find out who you are, tie your prostate to my bumper and silence you.

People who just ride their bikes in rough stuff and like to jump things without racing need a haven just as much as some of the d!cks in the DH forum.

I'll admit my comment might have come off wrong, but i looked over the forum, saw a bunch of supermonster jargon and got annoyed, im sure there will be quality threads in here.

and i wanted to say, im far from a boy racer DH elitist, only raced a couple times, im a rider like everyone else.

just delete this rm...

ok not to sound like an a$$ or anything, but if you were to tie my prostate to your bumper i dont think it would silence me.

i don't really understand why there's such a (perceived) dichotomy between the freeride / dh groups. we all enjoy riding our bicycles off road. i get off on many aspects of the sport: dh, shore, park, dj, trail - its all good. the stereotyping & division of camps is silly. can't we all just be friends?
