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'm the quietest...
It's gotta be Lee Nailing!
I've got the whitest legs and think I'm in with a shout for the biggest gut...
I can pull skids.
What are the categories?
Er - you guys are meant to be investing the categories such as best cake etc
i can skid further than Jamie
I win the most food eaten per ride and best cake+sausage sandwich findererer
8)
I once did a skid that lasted 2 weeks! (Unashamedly nicked from [url= http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150323844720 ]that[/url] ebay ad!)
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

I'm good at going round in circles and getting lost

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.
Once I did a boom gnarly stunt trick on it and a girl got pregnant just by watching my extremeness to the maxxxx.
LOL!
Brilliant...
Eh? Who said that RudeBoy?

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.
Me and Mrs TJ still hold the race record* at ten under the ben - so it must be us

Its true 😥

I got some drunk fat guy to lie down then jumped him yesterday.
So do I win the award for best fat-guy-jump-over?
We'll find out soon enough 😉

probably me.
Me me me me
Set amongst mere mortals I am a mountain bike god but amongst you lot, I'd be lucky to come in at third place.
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?)
We'll find out soon enough
But as I'm not entering you'll only know who the 2nd best rider is.....
😉
Ben_Haworth - ModeratorWe'll find out soon enough [;-)]
That looks fun, might have to check my diary. What are the medical services like and are there any trees?
the best rider is the one with the biggest smile in my opinion
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!!"
😉
I am great, me 😆
I'll the best riders I know ride BMX.
Not me as I fell of my bike on the way into work this morning, at a bus stop, I couldn't get my foot off the pedal!!!
[i]"What are the medical services like"[/i]
Rossendale Mountain Rescue will be there if full effec' 🙂
[i]"and are there any trees?[/i]"
17 at the last count.
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.
the older I get the better I woz, so next week I'll be the bestest.
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.
ACE 😀

Dosn't seem to have a veterans mixed tandem class 🙁

Me me me me
He is, you know! And one of the best for laughs too 🙂
The opriginal inventor of the Bendistique TM too.
i am awesome and rad and regularly bring and indeed send it.
you know it.
I couldnt care less if someone is a better rider than me. I'd care if someone was technically a better driver or lover than me. I think those two are higher in my personal estimations TBH.
So since its been 2 votes for me ( myself and jojo), does that mean i'm the best. Be warned y'all, Jojo is attempting to subtract her vote because she is in a big cream(with some of those hundreds and thousands on, and a flake) puff
radoggair aint too shoddy.
but i would agree with uplink. 😉
i am far better.....just imagine how good i would be if i was built like a girl like the rest of you..... 😉
But Raddogair is only twelve or so - thus has youth, folly and minimal size on his side!
HH - whats this I hear about you throwing a hissy fit at the weekend? 😀
I think unless you are doing world cups it's irrelevant. I only care about how much people improve, getting in a fuss over your level is pointless if you're stuck.
LOL - Most unlike you to jump to conclusions, eh?
Chain snapped on wee road climb before we'd even started the ride, knee took the weight of my fall. Was a bit shaken but carried on after putting a dresing on it, but faded about halfway round and didn't want to slow anyone else - when I realised that we had Kilbo Path to get up and over I lost all interest, and bailed.
Besides, I hear from other circles that you're hardly one to brag about mountain biking prowess... 🙄
You shouldn't believe everything you hear.
That sounds like it might have stung a bit.
What does best mean?
Fast lap times?
Or the person having the biggest smile?
zaskar - doesn't matter, i'd have both
So with smee and HH that puts me at 4........... i'm racing ahead. Smee has got talent and is above all actually a nice guy, and HH, i'm nearly 33. although act like a 12 year old girl alot of the times.
I actually loosened your chain whilst you weren't looking so it would snap on purpose so you wouldn't show me up. Worked a treat...oh yeah

Err that's your bike you're fettling with... ;O)
Sorry folks you were not meant to take this too seriously. Just trying to inject a bit of humour really.
I think I would do well in the "best rider in the campo de gibraltar to keep going in the face of adversity riding way outside his comfortzone in 33 degree heat having run out of water and getting heatstroke category", but that's about it really. I just like to pootle around whereever I may find myself.
And yeah as jedi said, it's all about having a big smile which is what I was getting at in the OP and not stressing about what others are or aren't doing 😀
