I did forget no brakes. I was just coming back to change that.

*Does tailwhip down a set of stairs*

DID YOU SEE THAT!

"Back tire hits the handrail, goes down hard with a faceplant / lipskid at the bottom of the stairs"

(the sound OOOOOOOOOOOOO fills the air)

*Does turndown down set of stairs*

*Gets uncut bars caught in tight-pants pocket*

*Lands nose-high with bars caught on pants*

*Loops out because of no brakes*

*Tight pants split at the crotch*

*Man-junk gets caught up in back wheel due to seat too low*

*Smashes self on concrete*

*Can't get cell-phone out of pocket to dial "911" because pants too tight*

*Lies in a pool of blood at the base of stairs*

At least I'm hardcore!

Hey, I'm out of peanuts, can I have another bag of peanuts?

My peanuts are all over the ground right now from getting caught in my rear tire!

The Harcore Kid!

Hey BS, sence we are gunna be on this ol bus for a while. I was gunna ask you if you raced much at Metro BMX? Thats my home track ya know.....

I raced there every Friday night from about 2004 to mid-2007. Oh, and last Saturday as well.

Sorry for the hijack. Let's keep this bus rollin!

'93 to '97 for me. I moved up here in the northwest in '98. I'm leaving to B-town tomarrow for turkey day with the fam, are they racing at all this weekend?

And can I get some frigg'n peanuts!

Open the mother-lovin' window!

I moved to Bakes in 1998. From then to about 2004 (or so) I only raced a few times a year. Just rode trails weekly.

There are some cool trails in Bakersfield, nothing up here in the Tri Cities. My father in law and I started a track up here though, and I was the T.O. for Walla Walla also tell about a year and a half ago, and now I want to take over the track my family started, but I still wish we had trails up here......

Bakersfield, best known for Buck Owens and Dwight Yokum. Let's start a sign along until E pulls this thing over at a 7-11 so Quickev can get his friggin peanuts, Jeez!




E just wait until he gets inside the door and punch it!

Sign along? Does anybody know how to sign "Streets of Bakersfield"? Is Robert here?

*Whole bus starts doing sign language*

btw, Dwight Yoakam isn't from Bakersfield.

awww come on, I'll split the beer with ya'll!

and the peanuts.....

'The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and rou......WHO FARTED??!!!?!!?!!'

I was 1/2 wright




Um...... see the top of the post

Dwight was born in Kentucky, and raised in Columbus, Ohio. Graduating from Northland High School.

Yeeee Haw.

So, everybody's had a chance to look around, see some of the locals, drink in the local flavor? Good.

Next stop we're on our way to the International section of the forum. Here nobody is from here, they're all from somewhere else. Here you'll find a warm welcome, but remember different cultures have different standards, so mind your manners!

I see London, I see France, I see Cheez's underpants.

MMMMM,france. Can we stop and get some frenchtoast? I didn't get any peanuts.

Bicicross es les suk!

Mi bicicleta es dos pequenos!

Man, see some interesting things on this tour...

So, I hope everyone's had time to enjoy the international flavor of the Worldwide BMX forum. As soon as we get this head started, lets get back on the road, things to see you know.

So, up to speed? In the drops, as it were? Let's head on over to Road Racing. We're in to bike, so are they, but instead of a 40 second lap, they deal in long-haul. What's that? Question in the back?

Oh no, no, they're not starving. They probably eat more than most of us. It's just the lack of body fat makes them look that way.

I heard the illegal fruit trade runs rampant in this part of town so be careful.

While your downunder might jump on board for a while.

Sure is noisy in here. And smells of freedom (or cheesebugers) or something???

Crikey, don't sit on my croc. He hasn't been fed today.

Ah, quiet here, maybe Mountain bikes are more your flavor?

What the ---- is going on HERE!!!!!!!

there's lots of druggies too...you never know who you can trust.

*shaves legs*

*clips in*

You're clipping in to your toe clips, right? Strappin' em down and stuff?

Heck no.... I'm jumping into this modern gear full force.

Not any straps gonna hold my feet down. I need CLIPS man.

You all can stay in the stone age all you want.

I want the technological advantage. ( I need all the help I can get. )

Toe straps ARE clip pedals.
Real vintage road bikes and vintage mtbs used 'em.
If your definition of vintage mtbs goes into the early '90s, then we'll include the introduction of the Shimano SPD clipless system...

Ah geez, I'm even boring myself

* takes a seat and waits for the stop at the racing forum *

are we there yet?

This 'hood is all about O-G mtb's, bro!

...with TOE CLIPS, like so:

I'll put my toe strap skills up against anyone on the forum (as also my lust for an MB-1). I even have the shoes for straps (they're French).

Ah, but enough about me.

I've been thinking, while we're in this neighborhood, the least we could do it swing by the Retro group. Here's the thing: Old was good, but new don't break. Can one go forward and back in time at the identical moment? You should ask!

Ask the Retro forum.

Nobody say "FM Flyer", OK?

This is one of my favorite Retro New School threads:

What happened to the scene, maaaaaaaaaaaan!!!

I just realized that the Retro New School forum is under the heading "Special Interests". Are these the same "Special Interest" that are the source of all of our problems in America?

I like freedom and I'm not sure I want to be a part of this!

That's a good thread.

I think it's about time we tour the engine room!
