4! When you get hurt, or in this case, your kid gets hurt, it is one hundred percent the riders fault.
You assume alot, and say little.dream4est said:sk6 like i said i dont even know what wintergreen but im sure they were not responsible for your injury. and since you wont even explain it i still think you are a person that would sue first and ask questions later.
i never attacked transcend. but you are a different story. anyone who posts that they considered suing after a crash without even explaining the situation scares me. it should scare everyone who rides. at least that grande kid who crashed at calabasas admits he wanted nothing to do with the suit and his dad is just a freak trying to profit off his sons misfortune (which is a horrible thing to do). anyone who mentions lawsuit after a bike crash will hear it from me. or those who assume a landowner is liable and post that online. both your comments i referred to are reflective of the attitudes that closed big bear, calabasas, gold hill, idaho spgs, sand hill, the challenge park, etc.
since you are new to the sport i know you dont understand how these beliefs will ruin mountain biking.
To set the record straight, I have been riding for 5 years. I have been gone for a little over a year and a half. Sorry Im not the proficient Whistler Park extraordinaire like you. My statements of the legal system and the possible outcomes, while they may piss you off, are what it is. Again, if you want to change it, call your congressman. Attacking me will not solve your problem.dream4est said:sk6 like i said i dont even know what wintergreen but im sure they were not responsible for your injury. and since you wont even explain it i still think you are a person that would sue first and ask questions later.

that shows me that you feel that your injury was wintergreens fault. i dont even know what wintergreen is but i am 100% sure you were at fault. people like you who always want to blame others make me sick. look into the mirror. thats whose responsible when you get on a bike and ride. i for one will never allow anyone with your ideology to ever ride on my property or with me at the resorts. i crashed at keystone two weeks ago. so they are at fault? for my stupid move? friggin lawyer types are so annoying. they always look for an angle when something goes wrong. anyone who reads the first post by sk6 should consider his above wintergreen comment too. i totally stand by my statement that he is hurting our sport. like 200% now.

I'm gonna sue all of you.
Motionboy2 said:I could say the same thing. I crashed at a riding spot, my insurance company came to me and told me they wanted to recoupe expenses on my initial bill of 15k. I told them "I am an idiot. I was trying to do something that it is now apparent that I can't do." Had I not taken responsibility and blamed the location then my insurance company would be in a legal debate right now, probably settling for thousands more than this ever cost them.
This is a tough debate, and many people only go with the generic response and play armchair lawyer. However, tort law is what it is and involves quite of bit of holding people accountable.Logchucker said:I'm going to bring up the point a lot of these suits are pushed by the insurance companies, for the families, so they don't have to pay
