I feel like a great rider, but racing would disprove my feelings. So I go on the internet, and tell everyone who will read my posts that it's all about having fun, and imply that the only kind of fun is the kind I have: fantasizing about how great I am, but knowing I'm not great at all. My fantasy and my feelings prove I'm a great bike rider. By the way, I learned how to make roost the other day. Right hand fist, swing the hips in the direction you want the roost to fly. Don't tell me I'm not good. I can roost, and I have iPhone photos and video to prove it. Plus, racing is dangerous, and I have a job and 3 kids and a wife to support.

I can be an enthusiast, I can even be obsessive about mt. bike riding, but I could give two shits about caring about who is faster, and/ or if they are faster than me. Good for you. It doesn't define how I participate, enjoy or progress on a personal level. Insisting that others can only enjoy mt. biking if they are racing others, that they can only progress if they are compared to others, that they can only be "good" if they race seems so completely insecure.

It's a free hucking video, the entire point is to look cool and show off, not to go fast. <br /><br />He doesn't claim to be fast nor does he challenge any racers to join the next hucking contest.<br /><br />So probably not good at racing but pretty decent at hucking while little Sponsel sucks at both.

His riding is sick and super stylish. No he's not a DH racer but I didn't enjoy the video less because of that.<br />#2-I think Ryan Howard actually is pretty damn fast on a bike, and most freeriders are pretty good racers. Take Darren Bearclaw as an example; he raced the Pro GRT to 18th or something a couple years ago. Thomas Vanderham made the World Champs team in 2010. <br />#3 I very much doubt it's sped up as someone in the comments posted. Mindspark doesn't pull that shit.<br />#4 I agree that racing is awesome and more people should try it.Deannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020325906214196582.post-14247747585634727742015-04-13T19:41:01.949-07:002015-04-13T19:41:01.949-07:00@Dr. Lee: You sure he's not good at ball spor...@Dr. Lee: You sure he's not good at ball sports?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020325906214196582.post-7537588942930589332015-04-13T19:14:36.250-07:002015-04-13T19:14:36.250-07:00I barely have time to breathe for fear of throwing...I barely have time to breathe for fear of throwing my body position off line when I'm riding good trails. <br /><br />Anyone can wiggle their way around on a sidewalk trail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020325906214196582.post-59400121322404478862015-04-13T18:30:43.700-07:002015-04-13T18:30:43.700-07:00Steve M gets it.

Those that put such an emphasis on racing to validate their or others experience are mentally no more evolved than jocks. Exactly like the prickish, elitist, uniform wearing, team ball-sport playing tank-top wearing dudes you petulantly and incorrectly liken free-huckers to. The only thing that separates you from the aforementioned jocks is that you aren't any good at ball sports. Dr. Leenoreply@blogger.com
