Long Travel BS Thread

Well Barstow was awesome

 

Number 1 # you have obviously never been to a baja race it would appear & number 2#

Spectators in mexico setting booby traps/ creating dangerous obstacles for a bigger thrill (for them) isn't nonsense & is a big problem that has plagued races in mexico almost from the beginning, that said he may have well just been a casualty of inherit danger that comes from competitive racing, but to suggest that spectators didn't or don't do this is in itself "nonsense"

 

I'll be there soon

 

oh shit, you were riding bitch lol? too good to introduce yourself?

 

Just got the ProArmor 5-points in. They're bittchinnn!

 

Cool, lets go barrel rolling & see if we stay in the seats dude...

 

I get it, it sucks, honestly I do, I work in little Mexico and see how these people are in emergency situations...honestly score needs to investigate and take precautions but ultimately it doesn't matter, we lost a brother and we should all mourning not argue over the reason he died, do you honestly think he'd want that? He would want us to cherish what he brought to the sport not how. He was taken from it

 

Oh yeah lol

 

What is complete "nonsense" is that you took what I said specifically about THIS incident and tried to twist it in to me not knowing what I'm talking about by implying something I didn't say.

What I did say: Based on first hand accounts reported by riders who arrived on the scene shortly after the accident, there is no evidence that the accident was caused by a booby trap nor the result of a collision with another vehicle. Based on what they said it IS nonsense to suggest that this accident was caused by a booby trap.

What I didn't say that you are implying I did: Booby traps don't exist and are no big deal. I 100% agree that it would be "nonsense" to suggest that spectators don't set up booby traps. Fortunately, I never said anything remotely like that.

 

Were still talking about this ? Lolz.

 

Bullshit, I didn't try to twist something into anything, maybe I didn't interpet your statement 100% Ok your source says theres no evidence of track manipulation, we'll have to take that at face value , we weren't there, but you seem to imply that because your source of info didn't see evidence of tampering that any mention of it is nonsense, maybe i'm wrong but thats the impression I got... regardless, the info you got is just 1 possibility you can have 5 witnesses to an event good or bad & when you ask them for their input you can get very different views of said event..

 

yes we are ....

 

Mood needs lightened in here..

Requesting some help from the shock gods, how/what's the best way to turn the resi hose elbow, I've tried a wrench and it's not moving there charged up I'd rather not uncharge them if it's possible there isn't a lot of shock places in Washington

 

You are going to have a hard time moving them with that much pressure on the threads. You are playing with fire, let the pressure out of them and get them recharged after you get your hoses routed. I have a Nitrogen set up if you need it, but I'm a few hours away. I'm sure you can find someone local, call the bike shops.

 

linked rear... solid axle front. hehehe

ok thanks for the heads up, ill check around for a shop with nitrogen, so just de-charge them and try to turn it again?

 

Yeah. I bet if you let some pressure off it will turn pretty easy. You might even try drooping the suspension or removing the shock to relieve some pressure. If it's corroded bad, spray some break free on it and let it sit.
Sometimes the elbow (made of steel) will corrode in the aluminum. Any time dissimilar metals touch corrosion happens.

In other news...I love this shot!
