I dont give a stuff about what type of person is into Mountain Biking, if whoever I,m riding with is good to get along with then fine..if there a big headed showoff knob then I don’t pay any attention to them. If you like riding and can have a good banter share your knowledge and skill then great. It doent matter if your bike costs £300 or £3000, its the love of the sport and common intrest thats the important thing.

Besides you can always spot the dicks there the ones who ride by and dont return a hello and think their gods gift to mountain biking. Lke a group of posers who whooped and pushed past on the trail and barged forward at the begining of a section one with his ipod attached to speakers on his camelbac, I laughed as I rode past him as he had just hit a tree. I enquired to the health of the tree.

I just watched the vid of Harry making the remarks the way he says it..My Little **** Friend doesnt sound like hes talking about a mate. He obviously cannot admit to it being racist being a royal, I am sure Grandad will give him advice on how to ride out the storm and how not to refer to his oriental friends.I suppose Harrys argument will be he gets ribbed about being Ginger which could also be offensive, perhaps racist.

I f I see a dog and I want to meet it I will beckon it over, if I see a dog and don’t want to meet it I ignore it. However it annoys me when dog owner presume that because the know and love their dogs then everyone else should. I fdog owners are walking in an area where cyclists or other trail users go then they (By Law) should keep their dogs under control and not leave it up to the others to stop and wait nervously for them and their dogs to pass. Many children can grow to be scared of dogs for life because over eager dogs friendly or nasty can scare the life out of them, only for the pathetic dog owner to say don’t worry my dogs a big softie or friendly. Doh! to late harm done.

I know someone who’s dog was worring sheep the farmer warned the owners, dog worried sheep again so farmer shot the dog, the guy and his brother go around to the farm and beat the crap out of the farmer, ending hospital treatment then a suspended prison sentance for dog owner who beat up the farmer. Dog owners to have a sense that they have the moral high ground and are not responsible for there dogs behaviour. Would you let your children run up to strangers..I think not.
