6 inches

[nevot]

With this little discourse i am not tarring everybody with the same brush and i realize that this is most likely the minority making themselves known in a really crap way.

So, here goes.......

Saturday night, great night at the pub with a bunch of good mates, boozing, talking and generally being well mannered fools. Move on to a club to see some other mates spin some records, enjoy that atmosphere and party on till the early morning. Life is cool, its been a great night and its time to go home and get some well deserved sleep, but first its time to hit the local early morn takeaway to grab a cheeky feed then jump on the pushy and make the cold pedal home.

But thats not how the story goes. I needed to grab some cash to get some chips and gravy so i stand in line for the ATM when this little cock smoker with nothing better to do lines himself up for a brawl with " You fucking mountain bike riding nazi, i ride BMX and i am soooo much harder than you."

Now im lost, what the hell does riding a mountain bike have to do with being a nazi? Was there actually Rommel's first santa cruz division? I think not. They were Panzers. But i digress.

Now i dont like to brawl i havent hit someone in the head since i was 13, and im now 27, but i dont mind to talk the talk and crush little dim wits with words, so i engage in my usual process and try to find what of the qualities of myself resemble a nazi when he headbuts me in the bridge of the nose. Sure i think, glasses not broken, face still intact and the little fucker hits like pompodor. Im not in for this, i dont want to hit the prick, and i want this to be over, so quickly in under his arms in to a headlock, drop to my knees and smack his forehead on the concrete and ask if he really wants to go on with this. The bouncers that are watching this with a little interest come over and ask me to stop kneeling on his head and to kindly take myself away.

Cool i think, its done, no real pain nothing fucked up, so i pass on the chips and start to make a move off with my mate to grab him a taxi and talk over the situation that just transpired. Both if us are in complete dis-belief that this whole thing came on cause i was sitting with 26 inches between my legs.

All seems to be cool so we stop a way up the road and have a talk and a quick smoke when the two little fuckers turn up again.

Again im reminded of my family ties to hitler and again that he has a 20 inch. I have had enough, its time to go and sleep. I let him know that he represents no problem and turn and walk away without throwing a punch, when he smacks me in the back on the head and as i turn he gets another one in that cuts by lower lip.

Time for words are over and i wind up and cop him a blinder with full weight and he goes to ground like a sack of shit and again i figure its done. My face is sore and my lip is pissing blood, my night is now screwed and the only consolation is that i can see he cant talk and is more messed up than me, and when i turn he is still on the ground.

He still wants more and is on his feet and has a running swing that i duck under then trys to fly kick me in the head which ends up to be as effective as slapping someone with a tissue. His mate finally has the better sense to stop him a stands in front of him. The little dude is mad, hes slurring and spitting blood at me as i watch him to make sure im not going to cop another sly one in the back of the head and now all he has to say is " You dont know who my friends are" and " My Jaw hurts". Its over and it is one of the most rediculous situations that i have ever been in before.

All because i have 6 more inches than him. What would he have done if i was John Holmes??

You kill him.... prob fixed. No seriously, I dealt with these types of fucks my hole life, being skinny and into different things, "oh yes I'm drunk, you kill him. Prob fixed.

aaah an epic tale. great introduction, great suspence and a good victory to our hero :p .

i hate when fuckwits who want a shot at the title ruin your night. standing at the bar one night and this lump of shit throws and big double fisted king hit at my mate. we didnt know this guy from a bar of soap, boy were we ready to go. funniest bit was we'd just had a chat to a guy who was a few years ahead of us in high school, 1st XV polynesian, not to be messed with so we were ready to call in a favour.

agreed!
That was one of the better tales i have read!! seriously felt like i was there..

On a different note, similiar thing happened to me on weekend.. guy tries to steal my bike at 4 in the morning, some radom other bloke comes over, i get out of the biff and just watch these two 'heros' go at each other.... end up in one have a horrific broken leg (double fracture.. think of some one having two knees).. and the other bloke with half his fore head missing as he had been dragged along the concrete...

All i got was freakin 2 hours of my time wasted by police asking me questions... I hate low lifes who think there the bee's knee's!!

Now, I don't usually endorse violence, but some of them seriously deserved to be taught to stay in school, or probably just smacked up on crack.


OR, jerks on 26" left a bad taste in his mouth down at the park from the past.

[Vicious_Fishes]

ahh i know the type all too well, they're looking for a fight, they wanna fight, and dont care if they win or lose. if you can't embarrass the living shit out of them in public using words, then kick their ass & do it with actions. work's a treat.

[shenanigans]

i wonder where this behavior stems from?
bad upbringing, drugs, hanging out with the wrong people, or just mixing up fiction and truth about how we riders of different sects (26 and 20) treat each other, as in they think we actually do start fights just because we ride 26inchers, like real life hollywood or something.

i personally havent been in any confrontations like that, or had my bike stolen/attempted etc, and am glad for that, how did it change your attitude to all this crap when it did become reality to you?

...................how did it change your attitude to all this crap when it did become reality to you?
I personally thing that the little turd was gassed on something, more than just a night out on the booze.

How has this changed my attitude? In respect to the inches, it makes no difference to my opinion. I will always make way for a better rider but i have just had it clarified that people really are the irrational stnuc that i thought they were.

[Stu the kid]

Yes great story and very detailed and eventful.
I have a story and ill make it short, or try to anyway. Today myself and my mate and his girlfriend went for a ride to the bmx track. I ride a dually (06 atomik) and my mate rides a ht (P3 05) and his gf was on his bmx. We rocked up to bmx track and i did three or so jumps and this little getto kid who ive seen around, who rides a bmx rather well for his gae but, not great and looks like he does crack throws a rock at me while i do a jump, he missed by a large margin, i ignore that since he is about 3 yrs younger then me 14 or 15 perhaps 16 you cant tell because his face looks so stressed from all the drugs he takes. As i come back to the berm to line up for another run, i commented to myself that my chain was stiffening and made gears skip. He thought i said something to him and he walks up to me drops his bike and decides to hav a go at me and mouthing off wen im blankly ignoring him, and would rather it much that he walks away and has a sit in the corner or go for a ride, so i drop my bike and match up to him and i am a good 4 to 6 inches taller then him (im 5 ft 11') and he grabs me by the colar and threatens me some more, he then ripped my shirt, it was a good shirt and hits me on the cheek, quite a pathetic hit but i didnt expect much more from him, i swing him on the ground and hit him on top of his head and push him down and tell him to alk away.(much like your story nevot) he gets up and abuses me a bit more and says he is gonna get his brothers and rides away in a bad temper. i stay at the track and hav a jump which i did a nice double can which i havnt done in a few months ill like to add. and then he rocks back up with about 4 chumps 2 were about my size weight not hieght and looked like a challenge and they came up to me and confronted me of hitting him and abusing the lil bitch i said no and that he had the wrong story and that i dont wanna fight anyone. the lil kid punches me in the face and makes my eyes water and nose bleed, i let it go coz his mates were there and looked rather menacing and phsyco i said that we will leave now because we dont want any trouble, and then one of the guys hits my in the face where my nose was already bleeding and id had enough by now and walked away he walked after me with his fist raised and challenging me to a fight, i back down and walked away and he pursued and end up with me running (yes i know it sounds catty but they were larger in number and looked more experienced in situations like these) he went back and took my bike and flipped it around abit and stepped on it and 'ghostied' it down the hill and then thankfully the lil bitch brought it to the fence for me as i was about to call my older brother and friends who are much older. i go grab my bike which has bars that were now twisted 45 degrees and i think easily fixed no real damage (and i thought people said norco's are weak?) i ride home half naked and bleeding nose. end of story. yes i am seeking revenge but with assistance.
sorry for any grammar errors.
Yes these lil kids who roam streets at night and drink and smoke even though they are underage really do have issues. but i pay the lil kid respect to standing up to me coz i thought i was much bigger then his stature and that he had no chance of winning a fight which he dont anyway.
cheers for reading.
