toys, are you talking about flow or GW?…
The best riders I know don’t shout about it. The fastest guy I ride with raced road in a recent commonwealths, but is more often found at the back of the group sweeping and encouraging novices/stragglers. The most talented guy I know pulls danny mac style moves when no one is looking, but gets all sheepish if he realises he’s been clocked and if asked to do it again will refuse (not through false modesty). He’s also really supportive and encouraging, when I was getting back into it after recovering from surgery this autumn he was great, highlighting where I’d ridden something well which helped me shake off the demons.
Whether Flow (or GW, me or anyone else) occasionally comes across as a kn*b on here or not I find the idea of a thread celebrating the fact we may have bullied someone off pretty sad to be honest. Mark said in another thread that the mods were concerned about the attitude some newbies were met with, and whilst Flow isn’t green I think this thread is a low point for STW. Hopefully its the weather and dark days limiting riding and people venting their frustrations, this isn’t what mountain biking is about.
