Funny video-I appreciate the the general tenor of the humor-but for the record:
1. I hate crappy beer and I really hate crap coffee, and I don't apologize for taking the time to educate myself and my tastes to procure both in spades on a daily basis. Education + Effort = Richer Life. Bank on it, in all things-From Biking and Skiing, to coffee to relationships. All of it. Never let the troglodytes drag you down for evolving.
2. 4,000 (give or take a few hundred)is the starting price tag for a decent Full suspension that will deliver a quality ride over multiple seasons…ERGO, I now only own and ride Hard Tails (and let skill make up for the 2000.00 I didn't spend). The well built 29er hard tail is the best bike dollar in and dollar out. For people with the money and the inclination, high end dual suspension bikes are wonderful. But, you can't cheap out on wheel sets, linkages, and pivot hardware, which is what bike co's do with sub 4,000 bikes.
3. I have a big garage and a big shed…no gear is in a bedroom. Everyone I ride with owns a home.
4. I use none of those terms that are listed as common to Mtb Bikers, nor do any of my friends I ride with….and I ride with dozens and dozens of different groups.
5. That teaching your significant other to ride is very funny, and very true for many guys (even truer in skiing! The 'Bad Boyfriend' ride may be the number 1 reason to take someone down in a sled!). The sexual imbalance in mountain biking causes hand wringing in advocacy groups coast to coast (and it's worst in New England…not surprising as so much of even the intermediate riding is on very rough trails-abusive to the upper body and really highlights relative differences in upper body strength and stamina).
6. I don't own a go pro, I don't ride with anyone who uses them…but I ski with a number of guys who use them, go figure!
7. OK, I do like stickers.
8. Around here, the shovel is the LEAST used trail building tool, we tend to use what God put there and keep it a little rougher and more 'wild'. Pump Tracks are for parking lots.
9. Having a trail dog is the best thing in the world, I won't ride without her anymore. Mine is named Lucy. I don't know if that s a cool, trendy bike reference name. But it's her name.
