Hey Joel Bain, the aussie...

fwd this to cannondale/sram/oakley. That will make the point stick.

Transcend · Aug 1, 2006

I gotta say, that's a pretty dick move. The amount of trash under the lift really surprised me considering how environmentally conscious everyone in whistler is. ****in' tourists.

Mugger · Aug 2, 2006

Uh oh, hope this dosn't give us aussie a bad reputation. Defiently forward it to his sponsers....

funkendrenchman · Aug 2, 2006

I know exactly who that is... road the lift with him as well. What an ass!

Man I wish I could sound so tough when im on the weenernet, nothing like big men behind little screens aye?
Maybe you'd be better off starting a thread about people littering off the lifts (from the sound of Transcends post it is an issue) than slandering one guy.

Hope it wasn't an accedent and he was just to embarassed to go get it. I always end up taking twice the amount of rubbish home than what I took out,not all from riders but. It's good though(picking it up)cause if you ever get hassled for ridding somewhere i just empty my pockets and say,"It would apear I'm doing more than you for this place".
Littering's not cool from anyone.

You got on the internet and had a whinge just cos somebody dropped something (presumably a wrapper or coke can or something) off a lift? Yeah ok it's not the right thing to do by any means, but sending stuff like that to somebody's sponsors JUST FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? The words "anally retentive" spring to mind. And no I don't think he was right to ignore you either, IMO it's poor form from everyone involved.

CBJ · Aug 2, 2006

Same problem at Diablo especially by the jump line where people session jumps. It sad that people can carry trash up but not down.

sayndesyn · Aug 2, 2006

I can see why a native to the area would be that pissed if an out of towner was pulling that ****....

I have to disagree.
Its the whole "representing your sponsors thing".
You gotta try to be classy when fronting team colors and what not.
Since Flip straight up asked him to pick it up he actually went out of his way NOT to and thats just moronic in a high profile place like Whistler at a big event.
MAybe back home at his local lift he can be a big guy and trash the joint but in this context he sounds like he was a dousch.

Pashley 24Mhz · Aug 2, 2006

If everyone just would take their rubbish to where it belongs, there would be no problems at all... and this isn't just for Whistler!

What would happen if everyone just would trow all their rubbisch where they stand,it wouldn't be pretty I think.

At the long term, people who try to keep everything clean could be the victim because a land owner wants to close the tracks on his land just because there is just too much rubbish along the tracks on his land...

just my opinion

While i feel it's not my position to get involved or defend someone in a situation i was not involved in, i feel i must add something. I rode the lift with him a few times, and spoke with him about this post. He said the only thing he rode up the lift with on Saturday and Sunday were tear offs. He prepped his goggles on the way up each time a tear off could have got away from him during that time. He left his extra unused tear offfs at the top before his race run. At no time did someone point out to him that he dropped something, and if they did he did not hear him, otherwise he would have responded. My opinion of him is he is one of the few Jnr. riders who is friendly helpfull and polite, not someone who deserves to be bagged on.

Cant Climb · Aug 2, 2006

Seeing people litter makes me mad as hell......its just plain stupid and disgusting.

Thanks for saying something to him FlipFantasia.....i would have done the same thing, and ruined MY day at the same time..

You are defending him and essentially saying he is innocent. There doesn't seem to be any logical reason why Flip would make it up. Maybe blown up a little bit , but keep disrespecting the places you ride at and you'll soon find yourself without a place to ride.

i get flipped of weekly for yealling at people trowning a whole BK/other bag out there windows, frys flying everywhere.

i pull next to them and tell them to roll there window down
and give them a piece of my mind.

DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!

Bad Ronald · Aug 2, 2006

The other thing to remember is that the kid is 16. How many 16 years old do you know that always do the mature responsible thing? I'm not sticking up for him either if he did litter (I really don't get it), however I must say that I can guarantee all those bashing him did something stupid when they were 16 too.

Cave Dweller · Aug 2, 2006

Maybe ridemonkey should start a new forum section where you can "dob in a dumper" :clue:

Im not sure what the purpose of putting this up in a public place is, he is a young kid, if i was young again and some old dude told me to walk 50 meters back down the hill and try and find something i may have dropped i would blow you off as well, and probably have stuck my middle finger up as well :cool:

Kids are kids, let it be.

That said, i don't know him and i wasn't in that situation, and im not saying littering is cool, but slagging others off on the net isn't cool either.

black noise · Aug 2, 2006

Hey, maybe he didn't hear the shouts. Fullface helmets, wind, and riding a bike have a way of muting people.

Hey Joel Bain, the aussie...
