Are any of the c+ people posting in the mtb sections?

just wondering whether the forced join is getting any of us to post out of the "comfort zone".

I've made friends with someone called Mike.0

I've been reading the DH and XC parts of the MTB forums, cos I do that kind of riding. If i have a technical question I'll post it there, but might also post it on Singletrack. Not interested in WMB parts because I don't like that mag, I have more time for MBUK mag but not for the kinds of discussion they have.0

this is my MBUK login that was transferred anyway. i posted more on C+
I use www.mlehworld.com or singletrack for MTB stuff
MBUKids isn't really about the kind of riding i do.
been posting over there though0 -
MTBing isn't my thing at all (I swapped my mountain bike for a big bag of skunk and some cash) but I might nip over and have a lurk.0

I raised a question in beginners. About having three lots of beginners.
(and you'd be suprised how often I type begineers and have to correct it!)
Other than that - not really. Looked at sandbox once, but was just nosying.... haven't felt the urge to look at jumping yet, although will probably at some point....
It's interesting to see which are the most used areas - like C+ beginners for example (should I be calling that Road Beginners now??), and which have been created out of thin air, and haven't really caught on yet. Like the General section, maybe Doping, etc...baby elephants? Any baby elephants here?? Helloo-ooo0 -

There is only ONE Mike.
AR, he's a nice lad really, I remember one time when he hacked into an admin account and deleted our entire forum content.
Those were the days.Advocate of disc brakes.0 -
Yes I posted in the Jumping section. Quite amusing really , it was a case of When Cultures Collide.
I got two replies and the thread has now been deleted.
I mentioned the location of a large hole in the ground and an adjacent cleared area with dirt mounds , in a public place near where I live. I will give no further details or this post/thread will be deleted.
The first reply said something along the lines of ,,, if you don't dig there don't ride there ... and told me not to be a 'trail rapist'
The second reply was from somebody who said that if he stll had moderator rights he would delete the thread.
Then I suppose a real moderator came along , saw the thread and exercised his rights.
It's a pity I didn't copy the text before it disappeared

yep, didnt think of going to mbuk for a xc forum...dont knock on death\'s door.....
Ring the bell and leg it...that really pi**es him off....0 -
A surprising amount of the MBUK lot do XC. Usually on completely and utterly inappropriate bikes.
For the love of god, stay away from the Jumping forum. Really. Unless you want to see the effect a school holiday has on it...
Jumping has a similar culture to a 14 month old bhuna left in a the sun.0 -
I asked a serious Q about trials and got some serious replies. There's enough unwarranted animosity between cyclists and car drivers, let alone cyclists of differing interests!!0

I have been to "the dark side" too 8)
asked for a cup of sugar in the Sandbox and helped someone with a computer problem in Off Topic
Strange to say, "they" are all ride bikes.
Just the same as me. :twisted:

Hey! respect for the dark side should be showed!
MTB isnt bad guys.
Whats wrong with jumping?Not pleased with this new sig!0 -
Hang on hang on the dark side is relative! MTBers call roadies the dark side, not the other way round! Geared MTBers also call singlespeed the dark side too. Anyway I can jump, it's fun. Nowt wrong with it. My biggest is the table top on Hamsterley DH course and some of the 4X course also at Hamsterley. Doubles scare me.0

erm no one was saying there was anything wrong with any other style...have you replied to the correct thread?? :?dont knock on death\'s door.....
Ring the bell and leg it...that really pi**es him off....0 -
Are you talking to me?
No I wasn't either. Whichever side is 'dark' is relative. That was my point.0 -
no the guy on top of you...ooh err... :? :oops:
But I cant be on the dark side Im a fully signed up Jedi.... 8)dont knock on death\'s door.....

Since the Dark Side is recumbent, you're all wrong... :twisted:

Homer's Double --> "There is only ONE Mike. "
Dear god, did you get him from Poundland? :shock:
I hope you kept the receipt... :roll:0 -
There seems to be a lot of confusion over who is who due to the joining of forums. MTBers and roadies who obviously have different ways of thinking are having to come to terms with the differnet aspects of cycling that we take part in. For me, the dark side is the ones who ride those strange things near the ground called recumbents and fixed wheelies, but perhaps I am biased comng from a road background. I am sure after a while this forun will sort itself out and we will all find our slots out .So many roads, so little time!!!0

By Cthulhu, I laughed so much reading that thread I nearly did myself a mischief...
How long are you going to play him before reeling him in? :twisted:"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." (Albert Einstein)0 -
In response to the OP - yes!I have pain!0

I use a slicked MTB for ugly weather commuting and big loads, but I'm still a roadie at heart.
Not sure about the integration, it's just trouble.0 -
I'm not going there....not with sections called Jumping!!! :?I'd rather walk than use Shimano0
