  • So who * IS * the best rider then?

    Given a couple of previous threads, just wondered who the best riders are on STW for various disciplines, genres and other categories such as ride guiding etc.

    After watching one of jedi’s shore videos, he’s got to be in with a shout. Anyone here consider themselves to be the fastest, best DHer, raddest etc 😀

    Go on, stop moaning about other riders, big yourself up here!

    I made it up all the tricky technical bits on my ride yesterday so I am the best today. Even made it up a really steep rocky shoot that I was beginning to think was impossible to be met by some old age pensioner Swedes celebrating May getting drunk on Snaps and singing songs. Unfortunately they did not give me a congratulatory drink.

    I’m clearly the best and my mates know it, listen to their comments on my video

    This is one thing I may be better than you at. When i went to Kirroughtree on my own, I managed to get lost. Maybe an hour in, you come down some singletrack onto a fireroad. The other side side of the fireroad you dip into some trees and the singletrack continues. But as it was on a junction with another fireroad, i went down the fireroad, then carried on into thick gorse and a hillock and then when I hit a farm wall with nowhere to go I decided I may have gone slightly awry. I was thinking that the singletrack wasnt well maintained and pretty hard at that point too 🙂

    However, I seem to get lost for no more than half to 3/4 of an hour at a time, so I am sure others have been lost for longer.

    I got lost in the New Forest and ended up by Southampton docks 😕 The other one that springs to mind, I went out for a gentle warm up to get the legs going on the morning of a bigish event and ended up doing a five hour ride to get back to the start with about 15mins to spare.

    Such was my food intake and riding/metabolising rad-ness, I did five (proper, not ‘ill’) poos at a 24 hour race last year. Does that count for anything? (most cr@p?)

    Well said Jedi!
    You can always tell the best riders at races – they’re the ones who push you into a bush/ditch while shouting “ELITE RIDER COMING THROUGH!!”

    Didn’t we do this a couple of weeks ago?

    I’d say blazin-saddles is the fastest XC rider on here, although there’s a number of other quick chaps on here.

    i’m the best at organising a ride, sorting out everyones bikes, putting them on my car, driving to the spot, finding the route, remembering your shoes and pedals cos there in my garage, bringing a spare inner tube for my bike and a funny size one for my mates bike, bringing food and finding the some passable tea/ cake /beer / burgers on the way home.
