I’ve seen the name pop up in http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/classic-stw-threads/page/3

Whilst there were other great posters who have since disappeared (for better or worse), no one was an arse to the level you were.

So, own up. Who’s troll account was it?

SurfMat.

Love child/genetic hybrid of GW and mtbel?

I thought GW and mtbel were one and the same? There can’t be two riders with that superhuman level of skill can there?

He wasn’t the poor bloke who does training in and around Peaslake who started to get a whole load of unfortunate abuse!

Wasn’t he the originator of the all-time greatest line – ‘makes the trail come alive’?

He was a troll just like his other accounts.

Say it ain’t so Drac……you’ll be telling me Clarkson is a real person next.
Trail alive guy was bikeind was’nt it? (Drac will now drop the bombshell that that was him too).

Crap yes that was bikeind. But to be fair thinking of their threads, they could quite easily have been the same guy!

Trail alive guy was bikeind was’nt it?

He’s not even a real hamster.

Maybe he took the advice of some on here resulting in an offspring?

😆

While we are on the topic, who is fairhurst? He was an absolute legend with his videos!

I’ve always suspected that fairhurst was one of the sweary northerners

So hang on – GW/Mtbel are one and the same, I get that, but was he also RichMTBGuru?

How do people have so much spare time to do this stuff!?

They cycle faster than you do, that’s how, obviously!

Well I know GW does, but he cycles faster than everyone. Stood up. On a 12″ kids bike. Whilst winning the TdF.

I always thought GW wasn’t too bad, and from what I hear, he’s a very good rider too.

Mtbellend just tries too hard.

Nah, bad as each other. Sure he’s a good rider, but he’s a **** with it.

So hang on – GW/Mtbel are one and the same, I get that, but was he also RichMTBGuru?

No.

That did seem a bit of a leap. So whose troll was RichMTB? All this alter ego stuff makes my brain hurt.

It does happen…

but he cycles faster than everyone. Stood up. On a 12″ kids bike.

I’m prepared to wager that Mr Isla Bikes wasn’t the fastest at Mayhem. GW would have been. He’d have actually won the team event, whilst riding as a soloist, and having ridden there too.

RichMTB

Is not the same person as RichMTBguru….

Sorry, I was abbreviating and didn’t realise there is a RichMTB, didn’t wish to tar all RichMTBs with the same brush as the guru!

Far as I remember, richmtbguru wasn’t his troll account, it was his straight account. Though he did have at least four when we banned him (for having multiple accounts) and I’ve slept since then so could be misremembering.

I don’t think it was an alt belonging to a Big Hitter or anything, though. Nothing to see here, move along.

He wasn’t the poor bloke who does training in and around Peaslake who started to get a whole load of unfortunate abuse!

Why did he get abuse?

richmtbguru isn’t an actual guru?

for shame..!

Mtbellend just tries too hard

And you’ve never seen him and Matthew Corbertt in a room at the same time

Why did he get abuse?

Possibly because he was called Rich, and he was an mtb guru ?

Combined with the fact that not all Internet sleuths are as clever as they think they are 😉

Yes, it was unfortunate that he was a bit too close to the persona on here, so I think people mistakenly believed that’s who it was.

Wow. So he was a real person. Who’da thought…

Maybe he took the advice of some on here resulting in an offspring?
