Was my sarcasm detected efficiently?
POTY
Driffle needs to stop saying, "I don't just want to be the fastest American. I want to be the fastest in the world." Bangert is faster in the U.S. and Strobelight is faster on the WC.
Because us e-haters are jealous of his beach jogging hottie. Seriously, I've had dinner with him before and thought he was a great guy but he's just not that down to earth.Since I am old and out of the loop, care to fill a bald fellow like myself in on how Riffle has so few fans?
Hard to pin down to just one thing (not a slam at all). If I had to hazard a guess it would be that he often gives off that vibe of taking himself way too seriously. Is this the case? I don't really know. I think most people see him at the races or in his video parts, which he approaches with a level of seriousness/professionalism/focus/etc (call it what you will) that I've described to others as "trying to take the fun out of fun."Since I am old and out of the loop, care to fill a bald fellow like myself in on how Riffle has so few fans?
bravo mattyDuncan has the incredible misfortune of growing up in front of a bunch of overly judgemental, gram-counting, downhill turds
Stop hating, stop weighing your bike parts and go dig.
When was it our crown?I don't care if our racers are dicks in tight pants. I just want to see american racers on the podiums at world cups again. I'm gunna be pissed if I have to race the cups on my big hit to reclaim our crown.
on the men's side in 1990, 1992, 1993, and 2000 to be exact..When was it our crown?
O ok thankson the men's side in 1990, 1992, 1993, and 2000 to be exact..
actually, i believe you are mistaken. Those are the years it was on loan from the Frenchon the men's side in 1990, 1992, 1993, and 2000 to be exact..
haha, good point, but you gotta admit 3 out of the first 4 years to start the 90's wasn't bad.actually, i believe you are mistaken. Those are the years it was on loan from the French
Strong points. Its simple, the guy is fast. So what if he wears tight jeans? One of the few Americans with that kind of determination to get on the podiumHard to pin down to just one thing (not a slam at all).

For the average American dirtbag kid just looking to score some weed, get laid and shred around on his bike, this is the ultimate turnoff. Does Duncan care? Hell no! He is busy on (what he percieves to be) the path to success on the international race circuit - his goals, not what others think is cool or what they are trying to get out of dh riding
Combine that with the sometimes questionable fashion sense of the youth of today, and almost anyone can find a reason to not like him.
Hating on him for saying that he's the best American dh'er is lame. At the time he said that for the video part, he was the top ranked American by far and a two-time national champ. Gimme a break, the kid is FAST. You don't score top twenty at a World Cup (numerous times, and earned - not weather related like some) unless you are really freaking good.
Not liking him for his hair or tight jeans is weak and shallow.
If you don't like him because he seems self important and feels as if he always has to be right, I would ask that everyone please remember their own indiscretions of youth. We all go/went through periods where our sense of self is way disconnected from reality. Duncan has the incredible misfortune of growing up in front of a bunch of overly judgemental, gram-counting, downhill turds.
Hopefully he, and all of us, will be able to learn from our mistakes and improve ourselves both as people and riders.

I just jump over that gate.I had to show him how to open the gate to the pool at the open last year.........sexy maybe, smart he is not.
I bought his Yeti 4x a couple years ago and he was really cool. Sent me some tires, shirts, hats, stickers, etc.. then I saw him at the sugar nationals that year and told him my name and he remembered exactly who i was and had me hang out in the pits for a while. Seemed like a good guy who sincerly loves what he does and is working hard to get where he wants to be in his career.a friend of mine bought his gold sunday from the worlds and he came across as a really nice guy. he sent some signed posters and shirts, that kinda stuff. he also spent a while on the phone explaining his set up on the bike and about racing ect.
Duncan is a nice guy. Sincere, talented and actually gives 2 ****s about what he is doing and who he represents.
He may be a bit odd on some fronts, but he is one of the nicest guys in the sport who will go out of his way to say hi to fans and make people feel welcome. Besides, it'd be boring as hell if everyone was the same, right?
Hopefully he sorts out his sponsorship for this season shortly.
It is plausible that Duncan may ride for the cut squad. They were working hard to pick up a few big name riders over the last few months, and actually had decent offers.
