feel free to respond to me...

RobbyBriers - The other part you failed to see is this was written BY NICK. Not by anyone from pinkbike. You say I woudn't like an article about me at all", and thats your decision, but in no way was nick forced to write this article or had someone write it about him. All your posts just show just continue to show how immature and moronic you are, telling people you had 4 people in your family die of cancer is much more of a "ohh pity me everyone" than this article is, by a long shot.

If you've ever met the kid you would know where this is coming from, myself only rode up one lift with him in whistler. Great kid, my age, unreal rider. So when someone like this gets cancer to me i feel "this could have been me", we, like most people on this site, are not that different. Both young adults that loving riding bikes, the only difference is Nick got unlucky and got cancer. Now why do you have such a hard time with this article? Nicks dream came long before he got cancer, this is just a bump in the road. Never in this article did he try and make it a sob story or suck up to anyone, he has no reason to. A KID in the mountain bike community means you have some affiliation to him whether you decide to see it or not. Everyone that rides is affiliated to you in one way. Your reasoning dumbfounds me, why does it matter if you have never met him? By this logic no one should wear poppies next week for remembrance day since we weren't born when the soldiers lost their lives in the war. How much sense does that make? You're one of the most ignorant posters I have ever read on this site.

how do you figure? course was better suited for bmx. doesnt let riders show their full potential. also gotta love events where everyone gets only one line choice save one or 2 hits

totally embarassing contest for mtb. silly features, there shouldnt be judging for 'flow' when the course has none of its own. street section was a joke, the hubba in the ramp district was also pointless no one going to risk an entire run on a pedal grind. i dont understand why everytime we get the opportunity to expose mtb to a broader audience(ie. city) we make a joke of it. Everyone on a hardtail riding stupid features how does this make a platinum event, rampage is platinum thats real mtbing. bmx kids would straight tear that course apart, sadly mtb just made themselves look bad once again. kinda figured aaron chase could have made a better course. Respect him as a rider and he does creatve stuff but he was not the man to design this course. flame away
