This is just a little vent to the bros with attitude riding out at N* this past Sunday.
A good friend of mine, a really ripping rider, has started taking his 8 year-old son with him out to the star. The kid isnt setting any speed records, but he can make his way down Livewire, Sinuous, Big Trees that kind of stuff. This past Sunday at around 4:30 a couple of us were all doing a ride together down Livewire. All was going OK until the brand new, very large, stepup. The little guy couldnt make it over it and really started to panic at the top. Hes a kid once it awhile hes gonna have some issues. And what really freaks him out is when people ride right up on him and he has nowhere to go. Anyways a couple of bros go hauling into it and then start pulling major attitude. Shouting at him, This isnt the place!
This isnt the place for what? Having fun? Riding bikes? Sharing your passions with the future generation? What?
I think people need to chill a little bit on the mountain. You are going to get some people who arent as fast as you. You dont need to freak out on every run down the mountain like it is your race run. Its not.
I think we need to encourage the youngsters to get out there and tear it up instead of shouting out them for being in your way.
End of vent.
