Nice try tough guy. I suspect that you would take a tube out of your own tire to help someone out.....
Did you know you really can fill your tire full of grass to get out of the trail in a jam? You can also tie a knot in the tube where the hole is. But it's way easier to carry a spare tube and a patch kit.

And yah i'm just funnin, i don't really care if i give stuff up on the trail. In fact it's pretty cool to be able to save someones ride, it's a nice validation of my own bikey experience. i've gived and i've recieved and for how much i ride i really don't run into these situations all that often. But i honestly was suprised to get back that power link.

I usually end up getting screwed when I help people out.

-Took a co-worker with infected tooth to the ER and had a rock kicked up on the road smash my windshield.

-Bought a bottle of water for a Japanese dude I was working with last week and he spilled it on me.

-Gave a guy a chain tool during a race once. lost a bunch of spots finding the tool, he passed me right at the end of the race and left without ever returning my tool.

-Tore a muscle in my back helping a friends parents move.

The list goes on and on and I keep helping people out like a dumbass.
I love that water bottle one the most.

Here's my "karma says screw you."

I took a triple shift spottin new rockclimbers cuz the other two assistant instructors were lazy phucknuts. I caught a woman after she fell 10 feet (3m). She gave me whiplash, jacked up my spine and I still get migraine headaches three years later. Not even a thank you for saving her life.

Fall 10 ft to her death? :think: Was she falling head first?

she was rotating/spinning in the air to iceberg shaped boulders.

The climbing exercise location was chosen by an idiot.

This is an interesting thread, last year i was doing an xc race (one of the few)...And i was in the top 10 (behind all the leg shavers) The one guy that was in the front of the pack flatted and had lost his tube on the corse...When i came up on him with my group of 5 he was asking for 1 (we were a long way out)...I just said sorry and kept pedaling...There was noway i was going to give him my only tube in a race. I still felt sorta bad about it, but it was a race, and it was my only tube...
