When was the last time u saw a dirt biker go flying through a wooded trail down steeps of 80% and huck off 20 foot rocks into rock gardens? plus dirtbikes have 16 inches of travel and we do just as big of jumps... there are guys doing 50 footers with no problem on dh bikes.

the last time i was at windrock i actualy rode my bike on a dirt bike trail and i was going alot faster than the mx'ers and the trail was very easy...then i rode on the bike trails and it was 10 times harder...

btw most dhers where most of the gear for confidence when racing..i only wear gloves helmet and leg pads when just riding around.

try this with no gear

 

[super rat]

Yeah that's a good idea, spin all the prelaod out of the shock spring. Do you know anything about dirt bikes other than who's piston your buddy has in his bike?

 

[DH Diva]

Yeah that sounds good. Shave the seat more if you need it and sit the sag real low. We don't have woods were I'm from. Just sand. Well mud latley

This is of course just day dreaming for when I need more CC's than my current bike can put out for me. So far, just rejetting it, opening up the air box, and taking the factory stop out of the muffler has done wonders for the power from what it was stock and it took all of about an hour to do it all. It will probably be another year before I need a new bike, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared!

 

[MMike]

This thread has shown me the way. no more armour for me!

 

[HRDTLBRO]

haha...At what point did he say spin out all the shock preload? If i'm not mistaken, adjustable preload is there for a reason...

 

[super rat]

Yeah to adjust for different rider weights, and a very small amount for set up, a few mm not inches.

Try that on your little bicycle.

 

[zedro]

i love these "my sport is better than your sport" threads....

 

[MMike]

Try that on your little bicycle.

Try what?

 

[krazydher1]

whoop de fricken do..a table top...

 

[super rat]

I hear ya, I don't know how this took such a wacky turn. I just think DH'ers wear a lot of gear and I thinks it's to look cool, that's all.

Ah. well played.

It's amazing the stupidty some people bring into this world, a condom would have prevented it.

Did you think that up all on your own? You're clever, very clever.

 

[captainpolution]

amazing isnt it? people say wearing protection as in armor is cool, yet no protection while having sex? sounds a little fishy, or is that the smell? haha

 

[krazydher1]

and i think that mxers put stickers all over there bikes just to look cool to

there are altho some rich kids out there who buy all the gear in the world just to look cool...but most pros buy the gear for confidence and from getting all banged up in rocks.

if u buys a 1000$ worth in gear just to look cool ur pretty stupid

 

[HRDTLBRO]

A tabletop you speak?

 

[gschuette]

Anybody think that super rat might be related to our good friend Cesspool?

No. I know Cesspool. He rides downhill with full pads.

 

[super rat]

That pic I posted is not just a table top, it's a Bubba scrub. See how he is only 3 foot of the ground? That's the impressive thing not just laying it flat, If you have any more questions feel free to ask, I'll help you when I can.

 

[gschuette]

whoop de fricken do..a table top...

No sir that's the Bubba Scrub!

 

[MMike]

See how he is only 3 foot of the ground? .

What a pussy......

 

[gschuette]

What a pussy......

I don't much like this Rat guy but I gotta stand up for Stewart. He is probably going 60 or 70mph there and is going to land in asplit second sideways crossrutted and with the throttle pinned. Stewart is a badass.

 

[HRDTLBRO]

No doubt...It's just funny to see the rat trying to portray motocross as ultimately hardass. When did Bubba stop wearing purple?

 

[super rat]

Well I like you Mr. gschuette. You seem like a real stand up guy.....

 

[gschuette]

Good question. I think he called it Fuscia though.

 

[gschuette]

Well I like you Mr. gschuette. You seem like a real stand up guy.....

Oh your so sweet! :nuts:

 

[super rat]

I'll have these monkeys eating out of my hand in no time, then you'll want to be my buddy, you watch.

 

[gschuette]

Well it's good to know the trolls here like me.

Have you considred shooting yourself? I think it would be a good idea.

 

[super rat]

Where is all of this anger coming from Mr. Aziz? I think you need to look inside of yourself and I don't mean by squatting over a mirror. You need to find the inner you, or something.

 

[Bullitrider]

I like to Armor-all all my armor. That makes me look really cool.

 

[bullcrew]

Did you think that up all on your own? You're clever, very clever.

Not as clever as your dad telling your mom she can't get pregnant if she's upright while they do it.

 

[bullcrew]

All for all, it's good to have a smack talk thread once in awhile. Everyone needs to relax and remember that this is so blatant and atagonistic that it's a good way to put your keen ability and clever pot shots to use.
Hell I gotta alot that's one of the bonuses to being married, frustration.

 

[TheInedibleHulk]

I'd have to say that the trend of DH'ers not wearing armor is more about looking cool and badass than wearing armor is. Armor is hot and bulky and I hate it right up until I go down on a course like Idaho where you are going to land on a rock for sure. I know super rat isn't trying to have a real discussion but it's a decent one to have anyway. I wore armor at every race this year but I may loose it for some courses this year if I start crashing less. Riding without armor is just way more comfortable.

 

[Rik]

Try that on your little bicycle.

Hmm... 360's (proper ones), barspins, bikeflips, etc... what was that, FMX bikes are changing to incorporate bmx tricks in their routine? Oh, my, try that on your big motorbike.
Pissing contests only end up with people getting pissed off from being pissed on, why bother?

[thesacrifice]

It just seems like you poo pirates wear a lot of pads and whatnot for riding a bicycle. I mean MXer's wear less gear, maybe they are just tougher.

Ok ok ok ... let's compare

First I'll state that I don't dirtbike so if my terminology is off, forgive me.

You can't compare a Downhill mountain biker to a Motocross racer. I've been to a motocross race, I saw dudes jump perfectly setup table tops run around a track that was composed of trucked in dirt. No skinnies, no rocks, no imperfect drops, no trees etc. So if you want to compare Motocross to mountainbiking, you should probably look at dirtjumpers.

Here we have a mountainbiker who dirtjumps : http://photo.pinkbike.com/photo/434/pbpic434267.jpg

Here we have a motocross racer :

who has less pads? Certainly not those wooptydo junkies....

So in response to your original question..I ask,

DO THEY?

http://www.off-road.com/dirtbike/reviews/flak/

hey why's that dirtbiker wearing our armor? Must be the runt of the litter, cause we all know those 250cc-ers are TOUGH

 

[slowseth]

A superslowcesspoolrat?

naw, im not a super rat, just super slow. bmx is where its at, mx can suck it

 

[sayndesyn]

If you are an MX'er and not a DH'er why the hell did you sign up on this site superrat? Nice pic of the Bubba Scrub for sure though...

 

[super rat]

I just like bicycles, I grew up racing BMX, I've always ridden road bikes and XC, I just think DH is gay, seriously. I think you guys, for the most part, have moto envy, MXer wannabes if you will.
