I think everyone needs to remember what happened last year to this forum. Lets not let that happen again this year.

Just because the weather sucks right now, does not mean everyone needs to get on their High Horse and ride it in to Ridemonkey! Relax, get on your rollers or trainer and go for a spin or something.

I for one stopped posting and reading this forum for a while due to all the whining. This forum used to be the place to talk about riding, bs, and to get rides going, and in my case and BigMike talk about our newest and latest stupid move that resulted in some sort of bodily harm!

I guess all I am asking is if you want to start whining and putting everyone else down about their riding, lifestyle, finacial status etc, then take it over to somewhere like Pinkbike where the average IQ is lower than the size of the wheels they ride!

I just dont want this turing into Romper Room™ all over again.

And to the Mods, if I am out of line with this, please remove this thread.
Thanks,
Adam

Fixed.

if you use the term 'romper room' in one more forum, they're going to start charging you royalties... :biggrin:

personnally i don't think that there is really a bad time of year to ride. the winter is a great time to just go out nad have fun riding. seeing for the most part you are not trying to push yourself in the winter.

but yeah if this forum got closed again this year i would be pissed. there is just no need for people to get that wound up over what someone says on a forum. on the same note nor should some one say something that could get someone wound up that much. its just commen interest on here. we ALL want trails to ride and we ALL would rather be on our bikes than most anything else

Looks like the SE forum gets to have the pissing match this year.

Looking back on this last year, I'd say there have been a lot of positive changes and constructive efforts. Us NOVA/MD riders finally have MORE on our side, advocating freeride and DH trails, (in part due to some of the arguments on this board that indirectly got this board shut down). We weren't successful with Whitetail for '07 but at least a strong effort was made. An advanced loop at Rosaryville with TTF's is underconstruction. The possibility of new trails and freeride skills area at Patapsco looks very promising and the fact that the existing illegitimate trails have been kept open in the meantime is outstanding. Let's keep working together! We can accomplish a lot if we don't argue with each other!

No joke. Brings back all sorts of headaches.

This forum has very little of raggin on people. I have been to other forums where people literally are afraid to post. They have a newb section where there is twice as much flaming going on, and anyone who posts outside the newb section doesn't get real responses at all they just get hated on. Maybe you are oversensative?

I would not say overly senstive, you may not be aware that the head monkey shut this forum down for a couple months last year. The poster is simply reminding people of this to keep it from getting to that point again.

I'm putting on the spiked ice tires tonight.

 

[Bearmntpicnic]

sucks it's been the same way here, lately, bottom of the mtn is all gross and muddy, get up top and it's nothing but a solid sheet of ice.

i actually got out today on the xc bike at wakefield and it was a blast. some sections were wicked fast while others really sucked. the whole place was frozen over (so bad i actually never sunk in once) but some how i was still able to find good traction. my friend and i were pushing about an 80% pace out there. even though it really was frozen over like that the ice did have some bit to it still.

btw anyone looking to ride out there use HIGH pressure. it will be the only way that you will get any bit on the ice. you don't need flotation of any kind because that ice is so hard. also i was able to ride the whole race coarse on the semi slicks that i had on the bike (kenda karmas).
