subaru dh team?
- Thread starter dirttastesgood
- Start date
i heard something about ken block, a massive redesign to downhill bikes and the possible return of biker X to the winter olympics..
Lapierre is a no go. The team is Subaru as of right now the brand of bike is still up in the air. Sabrina jumped ship on the idea of an all french team.
That would just take all the fun out of the internet.
but we'll still have ken block, 4 wheeled "bikes" and biker x right?????? i mean there's photo proof
i heard sam hill's riding for huffy. He jumped ship and missed
Hey Ska Todd read what I wrote, I said she jumped ship on the idea of an all french team! Other people reported she was leaving IronHorse I am saying she is not!
I don't think he read it that way. He read it as if she was leaving IH for the french thing, thats the written word for ya, can be oh so misleading. Ha
Is he really riding a Redline like Stu Thomson did?
My friend designed that haha!i heard something about ken block, a massive redesign to downhill bikes and the possible return of biker X to the winter olympics..
Pffft, I heard Sam Hill jumped ship from IH and is now riding for AMX.
"jumping ship" is an idiom for leaving or fleeing, thus having the connotation that she was leaving the Iron Horse program. Had you said something along the lines of "jumped at the opportunity" I wouldn't have posted up. I think many French riders' ears would perk up at that sort of idea; as would Aussies, Brits, Canadians, etc to a team solely comprised of their pinner compatriots.
I think we all might have learned something following the recent Mick Hannah/Cannondale flap; shut our pieholes with rumors and speculations unless there is some sort of grounded proof. This is in reality a rather small community of riders and racers. We all pretty much know each other somehow. At most, any one of you are "one-degree of Kevin Bacon" away from the Hills, Peatys, and Rennies of the sport. Don't screw with their livelihoods by posting rumor to a forum or blog.
Just because one has a blog does not exactly constitute that they are media or press. If you want to be treated like media, act like it. Again, if you want a rumor confirmed or denied just go to the people who would know the right answers.

Todd - couldn't have said it better myself.

This is Ridemonkey not the New York F'n Times.......!!!...........get over it.....90% of the crap on here is monkey poop......
If we all had gotten English degrees we might eliminate 40 percent of misunderstandings on here. Thats the internet for you...free.
I would also hope that other people in the industry would look at these forums how most people see them, a knitting circle for bikers.
so, is there any word on the Subaru team?
Bwahaha holy over-reaction. He said "jumped ship on the idea..." not "jumped ship for...". Maybe not the clearest way to state what he was trying to, but definitely comprehend-able.
you can play symantics all day if you'd like but the intention of the first post was to insinuate that Sabrina was leaving for the Subaru team. one cannot "jump ship" unless they are on said ship. So either she was leaving IH or she had already left and was jumping ship from the french team. but it takes a fair bit of grammatical gymnastics to claim the latter as evolutionbke's real intention . . . and of course it means you'd change the rules of the english laguage so you could jumps ship "on" an idea. even to jump ship "for" an idea would only be correct if one was physically jumping in the name, or in support of, the idea. In the future, if you plan to jump make sure it is "at" an idea. and think about landing on your head.
He got called out for posting BS, simple as that. well, that and i'm bored because all my students are in other classes right now
maybe, but some of us account for that other 10% and are the reason this site has any credibility at all.
Oh goodness, this is all so important, I hope we can get this all straightened out, because the world is at stake.
And did you hear that Maxxis is remeasuring all their tires and they are up to .1 different.
We will never be the same.
Oh, the humanity.

I apologize if what I wrote came off the wrong way.

I heard Bender jumped a ship.
...but when I say "jumped a ship", what I really meant was "went bowling".
:biggrin:

still not sure what you are saying you are trying to say. . . but either way i'd love to know how you are privy to Sabrina's reaction to the all-french team. either way you slice it, it's still BS
Sabrina was home crying in her pillow until Ska Todd and General Lee showed up........
LOL......is it that time of the month for some of you? Everyone is so touchy... you have taken what would have been one post of bad info and made the entire thread about it....congrads
