WHATS THE WORST....

[360xup]

Alright ive decided to have a simple trivia question which i can relate to...

QUESTION: whats the worst possible thing you could find at your jumps?

feel free to note any others, provided it isnt the typical call of "bulldozers"

[roasted]

skaters


and people posting in the wrong place

dj/4x section mate

councils.....old angry people......police......

[naz]

4yr old kids and there parents

and old people, whinging old shits, think the world is against. there the past, so why wont they pass :P

(ps if u get annoyed at my remark, good :) )

[parallax]

Finding a bunch of pot smoking arseholes burning milkcrates, chocloate wheels and shovels in the gap between the two jumps.






Then getting on your bike and hitting the jumps anyway!! Ring of fire style.

[RedPill]

well ild have to say ratty stoner's are the worse of all. who agree's?

[Wattsy]

funny part is, mine isnt parents. ive had very positive experences with walkers/parents. every time i see them at jump spots. they have allways said how well these have been done to benifit the community. something like that. never anything unpossitive. weird ey?

[mtb_man]

Moto's for sure. Noisy and most just have a bad attitude to the work that people have put into building. Fuckwits on 50cc bikes ripping up the jumps cos they can't jump smooth also blows, as they never bother to fix them or help build.

Also fucking freeloading jump sluts. If you ride jumps, then have some damn respect by picking up a shovel and help dig. Not cool to let the dig pigs do all the work.

That's just the experience from my local spot. No real problems with kids, that's what the easy lines were built for. Parents are no hassle either since they are supporting their kid riding a bike and that's a good thing.

[riderigid]

i'd have to say that i agree with wattsy.in most cases parents have said to me that it is great that there is somewhere kids can go ride their bikes near home. the worst people are the fuckers who a)ride motos and b) fill the TRANNY (that's right, where people RIDE, assholes... :evil: ) with shit like rocks, sticks, tires, the couch and office chairs. (by the couch i mean that florey jumps USED to have a couch to sit on and watch other madcore kids rip. but i found weed that had been hidden in it so i sorta got rid of it)

Most kids are fine and it's always funny to watch the gutsy ones have a go and fall in the holes between doubles. Kids with parents are normally fine as well, when I've been digging some have been pretty appreciative.

My issue is with 14 year old fire starting (I've turned up and found an entire tree trunk left on fire with no one around), pot smoking, shovel stealing (GRRRR!) tards who don't even ride.

The worst thing I've found is human feces on a lip....

[shauno]

^ :o :shock: :? thats off..
mine would have to be idiots that get in the way when your trying to jump. like little kids :lol:

[bazza]

lip kickers.

[Bobo]

Old people that put Kanes in your spokes!!!! :evil:

[josh_lives_here]

come to red hill on weekends and you'll find all of them :x .......sutcha shame :cry:

[igothp]

The worst thing I've found is human feces on a lip....
roflmao
A DEAD BODY STUFFED IN THE GAP.... :shock: (true story)

the OTHER worst thing i found when i got to my jumps was the flat rear tire i had :evil:

what the?? a dead body???? thats crazy!!! Did you seriously find that, that would have been one hell of a shock. :shock:

The only person ive seen at our jumps stopped us and said he 'just wanted to say how great it was to see kids getting out and having fun instead of getting into crime and drugs'. It was cool to be appreciated :P

[woelky]

i reckon goin to ur fav jumps or track, and findin some farkin potsmokers have destroyed everythin and are just hangin around smokin, thats the worst, but a DEAD BODY, man thats bad, where the hell do u live?

[Timmy Bee]

the dickheads that destroy them, not ones one motos and stuff, but the ones that just get a lough out of kicking down your jumps... also they dumbasses who belief that putting a log or something on the tranny is going to make everything allright, not only is it anoying, but can be verry dangerous, once, at a drop we made, someone had actually put a stake sticking up out of the ground, now if someone had hit that without looking, there would be a big mess... :evil: farking idiots :evil:

oh, and the asshole that told me that if i didnt piss off out of the area we were riding (which was given to us by the council) that he would belt me. me being 16, and him being atleast 30. what a gronk.

[josh_lives_here]

i say that the parents are the worst because at least motos and kids can give you a laugh if they crash :twisted:

[hardtail free rider]

where my jumps are now (in a vacant lot i.e private property). all the neighbours near them, either like it or dont care. 2 people in the street ride and one other person takes photos of us riding! its a good spot too coz there a street that is all downhill before them so you dont evn have to pedal really. the only thing that i have to watch out for is on the w/e because all the little shits from lacros (the oval is at the end of the lot) hang around and have tried to reck them once before. other then that its fine

[Tom_405]

this isn't really about jumps but i was riding on the footpath (coz there was heaps of cars on the road and it was a one way system) and i was coming up to a litle cafe on the side with tables and crap on the footpath so i slowed down and the parents and other kids let me ride through then a girl bout 5-6 ran straight across the footpath runing straight into my handle bars and nocking herself down. She started crying and i ofered to help or somthing and the mum said "why the F*&^k were u on the F*&^king footpath ur freakin punk teenager!" so i replied to that with a "sory" and under my breath fu%kin bogan loser. Then i rode off.


I hte haven motos at my jumps especialy those punk 50cc who cant jump and like to try and do burnouts on the lips.

[Timmy Bee]

yea, ive had a similar experience to tom, was on a path, and a couple of kids were running along it, and no way to get off as there were cars closely side by side, and while riding some stress head parent started shouting "get off the foot path! get off the foot path!". but my mate just replied with "its a public foot path mate!" and then we just rode off.

hmmmm, time to sleep now....

[Rik]

Worst thing to find is people disrespecting the area, through leaving rubbish around, vandalising property, and other stupid acts of immaturity. Does nothing good for anyone.

Ah... what the?

You were riding on the footpath in a crowded area, this puts you totally in the wrong. I can understand riding on the footpath but in that sort of situation you really should get off and walk.

[hardtail free rider]

yeh i have been ridin on the footpath because there were too many cars on the road. and then i get told to get off the footpath-semi-reasonable request- but it happens a lot. and then when i do ride on the road, i somethimes get abuse from drivers for being on the road.

the problem is that pedestrians think they own the foot path and know one else is allowed on it. and its the same for the motorists. bikers dont get a brake untill we get onto the track. and then we cop shit from bush walkers complaining about erosion.... where the F@rk are we sposed to ride? the skate park-but what if you dont want too? this just really annoy's me. has anyone else noticed this?





P.S sorry for the hijak

[Rik]

You idiot. Pedestrians think they own the footpath, BECAUSE THEY DO. Bikes should be on the road, you're legally entitled to road space, just use your head and follow the rules. If you don't have confidence to ride on the road, then don't. But don't complain about pedestrians on the footpath.

[MTB_SYCO]

yeah parents are pretty bad, i was riding in a school in da arvo just doing my own thing doin some drops and wheelies onto this flat cement bit, and some lil kids were playing there net ball crap and i was like well i will ride were they arnt playing netball then some fukin wanker parent was going off at me and then was like get lost and doing that flick thing with his hand meaning get lost and so i kept waving back to him everytime he did this wave ting after about 10 times of waving back and not moving he ran at me and started chasing me round the school and to piss him off even more we all started going in dif directions all around him top piss him off. it was a good laugh

[SPOON]

Sweet!! that's what i've always wanted to do. Get some poof in the middle and ride around him till he gets dizzy lol! :lol:

Anyhow yea i hate kids parents and those oldies. I remember on the way to some dirt jumps we were on the trail. We had stopped for a quick drink break. Then these 3 oldies come up and start saying all this bullshit about no mountain bikes on the single track. My ass!! When we had stopped we saw at least 5 others who passed. To make it worse they said there was some sign about 100m behind stating that u'd be fined $3000 if caught. Absolute garbage, i went back to check and all it had was a picture of a dog with a dash through it. We hadn't even come from that way it was like a "Y"....we came from the right and they came from the left. What rubbish....as soon as they turned their back to continue their walk we all gave them the finger simultaneously lol.....gut reaction :wink:

YER TOM BESIDES U SHOULD KNOW THAT LILYDALE HAVE SOME PRETTY FREEKY PEOPLE IN IT THAT GO CRAZY AT ACCIDENTIL THINGS LIKE THAT :P

[riderigid]

YER TOM BESIDES U SHOULD KNOW THAT LILYDALE HAVE SOME PRETTY FREEKY PEOPLE IN IT THAT GO CRAZY AT ACCIDENTIL THINGS LIKE THAT :P
AND YOU SHOULD KNOW WHERE THE CAPS LOCK KEY IS. (just in case you dont, it is just to the left of the A key)

i know what it is like to be harrassed by pedestrians though, one time at belconnen when i was just cruising to the skatepark i was on the footpath heading towards the skatepark and this guy who had to walk at leats 20m out of hgis way to be NEAR me walks over and does that thing that people do where you stick your hand in front of their face and pulls it away at the last moment. anyway, he did this, i stopped and he got shit scared. the reason people abbuse us bikers is because they think that we aren't going to stop to do anything about it but when we do the assume that we were going to (if that makes sense) it sucks donkey balls

[Maffew]

The worst thing I can think of are the local greenies, who come and knock down our ramps every second sunday :? . Im suprised they haven't told the council yet =/

[Malfuctioning Eddie]

I rocked up to a track oneday to find the worst thing imaginable:

Wattsy and And1.



Worst day of my life

[chris wilson]

the worst thing you can find at your trails is a bobcat with a council worker inside.

[Malfuctioning Eddie]

there is an easy solution to that problem..you give him a case of beer..or two and ask if you can borrow his bobcat for his allocated time there...then build your jumps to 3 times their normal size

[toodles]

Flat bare ground after the bulldozers have been through...

Happened to my jump spot a few months back.

[timduncan]

HOLY **** you guys must have some serious secrect jump spots ..... how do you not get them found :shock: council knocking them down does suck but its always from little dudes leaving rubbish around and SKID :evil:

[yogibear]

[quote="Timmy199"]the dickheads that destroy them.

Not only that but the local kids that treat them like they are sand castles and pull the lip off and put stucks all along the top :?

[Kreaky]

the kids theat ride the indermidiate track that can't even get halfway up the table top and spend 5 mins crying!!! oh and the parents that have a go at use for going fast and getting air! DUMBASSES THAT DIRT JUMPING FOR YA!!!!

oh and i forgot to meantion that there is a desginated(SP?) beginners track less the 10m away!!!! and thet perants that come and say go on the advanced track, when half of us can do them!!! and there is signage saying that thebeginners track is fro litle kids or for beginners, the intemidiate track for older kids that can jump and the advanceed track for pros!!!

sorry fot the hijak and rant!

[VicRiders]

councils.....old angry people......police......

I would totally agree with you on that one, but you have to add skaters, and try-hards, that smoke to be "kool"...

[tm_007]

Perhaps not so bad for the jumps themselves, but in a local reserve (affectionately known to some as Poofta Park!) where there is quite a lot of singletrack and jumps you can sometimes be lucky enough to run into that very rare species of "over40menbuttf$%kinginthebushes"!!

Whats worse is when they see you coming they speed up their mating session to get it all over with faster.

Too bad they didn't see the rocks coming from the sky though......
