That other thread's great, but I reckon we can do worse than that. I'm going to set the bar pretty low with this shot of me.
Old roadie top from late 80s (worn when road riding v unfashionable) - check
Lycra shorts - check
More pads than WC downhill riders wear - check
Ridiculously long camelbak hose poking out of old rucksack - check
Sitting down while riding a steep, techy bit - check

Riding my friend Nick because his shoes were slightly more waterproof than mine. As another friend put it: "You're such a princess, Ed"

ah the cwmcarn tunnel of death? claimed a few egos that one!
Yeah, first time I (literally) hit it and didn't even realise it was there. Wrong line and nearly went down the hole 😀 (bike did fall down it).
Me, looking at one line and clearly taking another at a Brownbacks race a couple of years ago. Made the BC website so loads of people could see how lame I was. [img]

Walking in a race, no matter how steep the hill, is not the done thing, (this isn't cyclocross)

Never mind the goatee.
What about the trouser and bootie combo. 😆
Here's my worst/ best photo after a few too many Special Ciders* at the Cider House. 😳

*7.2% and tastes like Apple Tango.
Only got a hard copy, but I've got one which just typifies what everyone (riders included!) hates about XC racing - a very long grass climb, muddy, no one else in sight. I look miserable.

Mine's only on video, rear QR gives out going down the bermy bit of spooky wood on a nice frosty day, rear wheel ejects, i end up rolling into a hole and like a tortoise on it's back i'm stuck, comedy gold ensues.....
How about falling off one of the kids scooter skinny's? 8)

walleater wins the thread hands down.
As for the OP, put some air in your damn tyres!
Thought Tracey had won it but walleater snatches it at the end!

Riding a 180mm full sus on a Llandegla fire road with my unfit mate in the background already walking 😆
