Sorry if this is ridiculously outdated (10 day ago of so) and of no interest to
anyone but Metal fans and A13X/LOLLI-watchers, but I came across this on Stikmans semi-defunct site...I wish it was still up fulltime. A good if highly opinionated read. Anyway here is a snippet for what it's worth. Sorry if redundant.............
EDIT TO CLARIFY- This is Stikman talking..
"Sanjay Shanbag won the Semi-Pro DH again. Sanjay is the mega ripper from so cal yo! He has won all the semi pro DHs so far, and has done it on 3 different bikes. I would love to get this kid the full GT hookup, just need to convince the corp's to listen to me for once.
Met a few east coast hardcores this weekend. I don't know what it is with the east coasters. A lot seem pissed off all the time. I know us west coast guys get labeled for being "too cool" and or "cocky" but man, these east coasters need to chill. I remember I had a web run in with Seth and Alex from evil a couple years back, but we ironed it out and it was all fun and games-good to see you guys today by the way...Braaap. But these 4 dudes that came by the GT/HYUNDAI trailer today were works of art. So I have these 6 GT bikes on display, just for people to see some of the cool bikes in the line, they are NOT for testing and I just assume most people know this. I get people all day pulling them off the racks and feeling them, sitting on the seats which is fine-I mean I would ask someone for help, but that's just me. Anyway, this guy pulls a bike down and just takes off on it, doesn't say anything just rides away...Keep in mind these are brand new, mint bikes on a 10' high display rack-wouldnt you just assume to not touch, or ATLEAST ask "hey, can I check this out". So he takes off and I say "whoa, hey dude, could you please get off that bike??" his buddies look at me like I am psychotic and the dude comes back. Then in an boston accent the guy says "what the ****, what if he wants to buy one?" I tell him "You can goto a GT dealer and they would be happy to let you test ride one and help you out...but man, I cant believe you guys just assumed you can ride these bikes around"...The guy gets right in my face looking like he's ready to punch me out and says "what the **** did you say?" and I just had to tell the guy to relax, then quietly said "man, to each his own", so he says "come over here and say that to me mother ****er". Then I just walked away thinking, that I finally knew why the middle east and most of the world dislikes america. Long live the east coast hardcores!"
