And remember, road bikes are dangerous, mmmkay?

About big jonny

The man, the legend. The guy who started it all back in the Year of Our Lord Beer, 2000, with a couple of pages worth of idiotic ranting hardcoded on some random porn site that would host anything you uploaded, a book called HTML for Dummies (which was completely appropriate), a bad attitude (which hasn’t much changed), and a Dell desktop running Win95 with 64 mgs of ram and a six gig hard drive. Those were the days. Then he went to law school. Go figure. Flagstaff, Arizona, USA

If I tried any of that shit I’d end up in the ICU.

Great music too. First time I’ve ever heard music on this site I liked.

Hm, it can be a fine line between ‘baller’ and ‘nutter.’ Just sayin’.

…hey – wait a minute…you can’t do that on a road bike…

…why, it’s physically impossible to begin with & one has to think about the sensibilities of the staid, unsmiling ‘hardcore’ roadies & the image they’re trying to preserve…

…awesome stuff, mr ashton !!!…

Seriously, watching bicycle trials on a road bike never gets old…

So… carbon is still scary and bad, right?

Carbon wow

I knew there was a good reason to keep my carbon road bike with Zipp wheels. Now to go out and have some fun at the bike park.

I fugured out his secret— it’s that five-bolt, asymmetrical pneumatic dropper seatpost. Couldn’t tell from the video whether it had the “full race” decal set, though.

Two words…

Clipped. In.
Gypsy on October 10, 2012 at 11:49 am said:

I just watched it again, and I was wrong. He’s not clipped in. I spied the platform pedals in the opening sequence. Dude is still a bad ass, but I’d love to see how many of those tricks he would commit to while clipped in and wearing a carbon soled shoe. I can tell you how many of them I would try… ZERO.

Gypsy,

Do you sometimes find yourself in near-fights with dudes who are like 200 lbs heavier than you, and you “woulda kicked his ass, seabass,” except for the 2 skinny ladies “holding you back?”

“Stop holding me back!”

Ha.
Gypsy on October 10, 2012 at 1:17 pm said:

@Danimal Whu-Huh? I’m 165 pounds of peace and love, baby… No fights for me. If you actually bothered to read my comment(s), you would see that what I actually said was, A- The dude is a bad ass, B- On first viewing I thought he was clipped in, C- I was wrong, but I wonder if he would try any of those stunts if he was, and D- I would never, under any circumstances, try any of that shit, clipped in or not. There was no self aggrandizement anywhere in either comment. I would apologize for not being as clear as I could have been, but based on your comment, you’re just a troll that likes to sound tough on the internet.

…gypsy n’ danimal…now, now, cease & desist…you guys are both just upset that those two chicks at the end of the video won’t lube & wipe down your shit at the end of the day…

…just sayin’…

Fake! How do I know? Women in Britain just don’t look like that (attractive, tanned, perfect teeth).
Holmes on October 11, 2012 at 10:10 am said:

Holy. Shit. No carbon road wheels were injured during the making of this video.
Fuzz on October 11, 2012 at 1:52 pm said:

That was pretty insane. The scariest part was when he let those ladies spray WD-40 on his crankset.
One-Track on October 11, 2012 at 10:14 pm said:

Back-flip out of the sand-trap takes the cake. Try riding skinny tires through bottomless sand some time… then do a backflip… on a road bike… Am I hallucinating?

Did he STRAVA any of that?………Roadies ;)
