seems spot on to me 🙂
Thanks Chipps for penning it!
*s****s*
Take it you wrote this?
Yup, sounds like this place allright. 😉
Sounds about right to me!
yup, pretty accurate
The "chasing pavements" one is quite funny.

User created content. Shucks.
spot on.
Whoever wrote that seemed almost bitter enough to be a STWer.
I'm only offended because I obvioulsy don't fit in here any more - I'm not portly and I don't have an audi.
Seems fine but it's a VW not an audi.
Yes I am offended - I don't work in IT/engineering and I don't own an Audi! 👿
Rest of it seems spot on though - finally somewhere I belong 🙂
😆 i fit none of the requirements, can i stay?
The trail centre reference isn't quite right. Don't we all hate McHappy trails and only ride natural stuff ?
Clear, concise, and to the point.
[i]To cover up their utter lack of ability on a bike they pour scorn on any style riding which isnt utterly boring.

I would be offended but i don't understand what any of it means. 😕

Check. JoB commented on a thread of mine the other day and I was star struck. But then I got star struck when I saw that Barnsley bloke from Life On Mars and Ashes To Ashes in Meadowhall on Wednesday, to the point where I'm still name-dropping it two days later, so I'm not sure if that's particularly relevant.
Accurate and funny
The "chasing pavements" one is quite funny.
Thanks Brant, I've now got the, ahem, charming Adele ditty on loop in my head, I bet it's still there tomorrow; how am I supposed to shred the gnar in a totally sick manner to that soundtrack?
OK so it's not totally accurate but it hurts when you know you fit right in, once met brant. bugger.
Seems about right to me - not that I fit any of the boxes of course.
The blokes a genius - he should be Editor! 😉
mid life ? i dont wanna live another 31 years ! **** that ! an oh i cant drive
I resemble those remarks.
pretty spot on, but could be talking about any website/forum....

Aye - that sums you lot up quite well i'd say. 😉
Have the Audi. Have the belly. Have the bike that is far too good for my skills. Enjoy trail centres as much as I do the hills out the back. Having the mid life crisis.
All seems about right to me.
Thank you for putting it in words Oiks!
well that's definately not me but it made me laugh!
My god an MBUK reader has learnt to write :lol:.
Seems to miss the point though, we know what we're like (and it is all pretty accurate), thing is we know and don't care 8).
"gradeur" "arguements"
🙄
I think its a funny summing up, but not one I can really agree with. I like this forum for its diversity of opinion not because we call all be summed up in a few lines.
Not offended in the least. Found [url= http://www.phased.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=9&Itemid=13 ]this feature[/url] much more amusing! 😀
true dat
Wow spot on!
Audi...CHECK
Gut...CHECK
Titanium mincer...CHECK
Thinks Brants OK despite his limbless fetish...CHECK
Signed up for the JoB posh book...CHECK
Work in IT...NOPE
In fact other than the gnarly language (well this is Yorkshire!) it mainly fits. Very astute observation.
Fantastic and right on the nail!
Looks like the search is over - Spiritual home found at last!
I just can't believe that someone could be surprised at finding something that could be deemed offensive on the urban dictionary site.
The sound of a nail being squarely struck on the head.
That's not me at all.
I have a Jeep, work in banking (but not the exciting 'losing tons of money' part) live on an island that is 25sq miles and where it rains ALL THE ****ING TIME.
Why on earth would I be looking to compensate for a life as exciting as that?
In fact I don't know why I even bother with you lot.
PS. I do think all MTB journos are manufacturer-arse-licking whores, whose copy has as much credibility as a Fred Goodwin apology.
Well I work in IT but so do many others, most the ones I know don't ride which perhaps means their lives are less interesting than mine...hard to think of many jobs that are more interesting that employ a significant number of people anyway. Whatever, riding is what I do, work is what pays for me to do what I do.
We're all the same in this world, it's just some of us ride.
Strange I don't work in IT or engineering I don't ride an expensive bike I wouldn't recognise JoB or Brant in the street if I bumped into them don't belong to any clique. About the only thing right is I'm slightly over weight. So going by that I shouldn't be on the website.
Audi's are all the gear no idea. A BMW is actually engineered to be a good car to drive whereas Audi's are all bling with no connection to the road.
A sort of Mercedes for the 00's interms of steering/driver involvement compared to luxury/brand.
God, thanks for clearing that up Hora.
Kuco in knee-jerk reaction shocka' 😯
