Repack said:I think its funny. What makes it funnier is that they hang out to look for reaction. I do see where they are coming from. I f*ing hate it when I am driving through town and come up on 20+ (have seen as many as ~50 in one ride) clumped together taking up the whole lane. Then someone points down, then someone else, then a third person... Before you know it, everyone is looking everywhere but ahead, and the mob suddenly doubles in size. That whole pointing thing really bugs me. Yes, my rant has begun. Having studied "the point" at great length, I have decided that it is good for nothing more than distracting other riders, and spreading groups across the road. IMO, the ultimate irony of The Point is that it distracts riders and makes their bikes less stable (riding one handed) at a time when a normal person would want to have both hands on the bar looking ahead for the obstacle. I laugh when people are pointing at the ground only because the person in front of them pointed. By the time The Point makes its way to the back of the cluster, the obstacle that was originally Points at is usually long gone. Why don't they just ride in small, single/double file lines? That would fix so much.

HAHA, I'm 41 years old and that still sound like it would be fun for some laughs. We all had CB's in our 4X4's. LoL, you had to be sure to turn yours off if you were in the drive through line with your buddies around.llkoolkeg said:In high school, my buddies and I did similar things, e.g. duct taping a garage-sale walkie talkie to the back of a Micky D's drive-through ordering station. When well-timed, evil comments were mistaken by both customers and the drive-thru jockey as coming from the other party. Broadcasting from a parking lot vantage point enabled herbal/munchie enjoyment throughout the evening's entertainment. The concealed walkie talkie was eventually discovered by an employee tasked with sweeping up the lot, but it was one of two that cost us only $8 anyways...
loco-gringo said:The "point" means there is something in the road. Once you run over a bottle or a board in a pace line. The "point" makes sense. You may want to do a little more research Repack before you state your studies. Looks to me like you need a little more studying on the issue. Don't hate just because some roadies can ride one handed. Some even ride with no hands.

Usually, the obstacle has already been passed by everyone by the time they react to the point and start pointing themselves.. so basicly, they are pointing at nothing.
I wondered about you and your bruises yesterday. I will have to find the skin suit that a dude named Brandon Ott from PA wears to race XC. You'll gain respect for roadie attire.Megan Black said:Road fashion is no laughing matter, guys.
I was coming home last night from a mountian bike ride at a local park (near Seattle) when climbing up the hill, I saw a big group of roadies.
The last guy in the pack had on, and I sh*t you not, a full body pink lycra suit.
I almost lost control of my vehicle I was dry heaving so hard.
I could have killed someone...
Nah, he'll shoot his eye out.DVNT said:ha ha ha.
Somebody get this guy a high powered sniper rifle and a clock tower to sit on.
Preferably a .50 Barrett with a compass in the stock and a thing that tells time.
I don't get it.loco-gringo said:I wondered about you and your bruises yesterday.
I have plenty of respect for roadie attire! Especially for the DH guys who wear it to be funny, cause you know they seriously rock if they can goof around like that. Secondly, I have respect for any body (roadie or not) who would don that kind of outfit. It takes some b*lls to have your b*lls hanging out like that for public scrutiny...loco-gringo said:You'll gain respect for roadie attire.

I agree! What's up with saggy pants on muddy days where you can actually see the mud going into their crack.loco-gringo said:but they don't look any worse than a lot of XC or downhill attire to me.
Why? I make fun of everybody! Feel free to make fun of me, I wear a hoodie when I ride!loco-gringo said:Funny you should make fun of roadies.

no, no, this hoodie is from a DIFFERENT complicated and indiscernible romantic situation between me and another monkey...didn't you see the post in the lounge that was supposed to be my pm to biggins?loco-gringo said:Are you pressley???
Damnit - I just miss so many things. Oh well.

shucks, i only WISH i had a classy picture of my bare a$$ in a compromising position for all on the internet to wank off to!loco-gringo said:Welp - if your ass is his avatar. Nice ass.
No fantasy. Outside of humor, I would never think that it was cool to compliment a chick's ass. That is left for spring break drunks and trailer park episodes of COPS. Thanks for thinking I was a ink: though.Megan Black said:shucks, i only WISH i had a classy picture of my bare a$$ in a compromising position for all on the internet to wank off to!
nope, that joke was just good timing on my part, i guess
oh wait, i just ruined the fantasy, huh? sorry!
No problemloco-gringo said:Welp - if your ass is his avatar. Nice ass.
that is so true! i've been amazed at the **** i've gotten away with saying, because of how/when i said it. it is a sad thing that so much tact has been lost in the world :\Megan Black said:and p.s., there's nothing wrong with letting a girl know that she has a nice ass! It's just timing and tact that some people fail to execute...
Yeah, I just walk up 6" from their face and shoutMegan Black said:and p.s., there's nothing wrong with letting a girl know that she has a nice ass! It's just timing and tact that some people fail to execute...
