I think he's well over 8 foot?

No, but you are so narrow minded and confused that I see no further use in arguing with you. You are simply too stupid to understand anything. I feel bad for you, really. Up until now you haven't been able to produce one single real argument of why dh/fr would be better than road racing, as you're only capable of hurling insults. This will be my last post here, if you want to keep on arguing like a mouthy teenager take it to PM or don't write. The latter is better if you want to keep that tiny bit of dignity that you have left.

cyerhawk, was that an honest try to look like a reasonable man? Your argumentation technique is below a 14 year old. Seriously, you wouldn't die if you had a look at argumentation theory, because that was just sad. Stop ridiculing yourself. You sound like a broken gramophone...

Well, guess why road bikers have more coverage than extreme mountainbikers? Sad, because it is a fact that road biking is seen as a way bigger achievement than acting like a ADHD kid and jumping cliffs with an over built bike? Just face it, achievement wise, road biking is light years ahead of extreme mountain biking (fr/dh).

And you're acting like a kid, just realise that you're wrong and apologize for your rude offensive names you've given me.

Woah woah, what's up with all the hating? I haven't called you names, so don't give me any. You guys are being childish because you know I'm right. "w*nker", "f'g", "*diot", man you guys must be really good at having a discussion... But still I haven't called you anything like that. But it's ok, I can be the martyr, just give me names and I'll try to soak it up. The fact that you get so angry is mainly because, on a subconcious level, you know I'm right. Less hate, more love.

Yes, I love myself. Do you love yourself? The question is, why did you start with downhilling when you live in the flattest country in Europe? If I were you, which I thank my personal God I'm not, I'd start with road biking rather than downhilling. Where are you going to ride that new Banshee Mythic? On your 100 feet hill (aka dutch mountain)?
