The Ugly Duckling looking for the freeride

[livethedream68]

“Actually freeride is a type of mountain biking revolving around riding over and off of unconventional things, like cliffs and ladders suspended 10 feet in the air using over built mountain bikes that are best suited for going downhill." Punga

The Ugly Duckling still looking for the FREEride...nowhere else to go.

Mountain bike to the bicycle industry was like the Ugly Duckling:

...a fat and heavy bike in a world dominated by sleek Racing / Road bikes.

The word spread about mountain bikes, and the rest as they say is history!

The ugly duckling if you remember was neither a duckling nor ugly.

He was a swan, raised by ducks.

So what kind of animal are you?

I’m now convinced I’m not an ugly duckling.

I’m a swan who grew up in a duck pond.

You do not live and breath for yourself but for WHO? The Ducks?

Do you own anything at all?

- leased car
- mortgaged home
- student loans

You are fed , nursed, and bred for others... WHY?

You’re not a THING. Are you? You’re a person.

You have to find that perfectly happy balance.

Just as in your bike-handling skills...

...finding your balance when trail riding improves your strength, flexibility, and endurance.

The problem is that I do not have a mountain bike, I just need transportation badly, a freeride a.k.a. mountain bike.

The moral of the story?

You must begin THE search or you won’t find your people!!!

Let the World know where I’m @ .

We’re on the World Wide Web.

I’ll pick up the mountain bike on foot in Falls Church or Arlington VA.

Says me:

The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me.
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Have a wonderful day and don't forget to live the dream.

Now you are just being a buzz kill. I missed the fun with LTD last time and figured I'd better jump in quick this time. Stop bringing me down, man, I am trying to live the dream (and avoid writing a brief)!

I'll give you three guesses. Now put down the glue.

livethedream68-

I closed your other thread for several specific reasons and directed you not to start another thread like this. I told you that doing so would earn you a temp ban.

Now, I am going to show what a nice and reasonable guy I am by giving you one more chance. If you want to post a "I want a free bike thread", PM ME FIRST and I will direct you what you need to do to avoid having your thread locked again. Fail to do so, and I guarantee you will be banned.

Locked. Complaints can be directed to riderx's existing complaint thread here. (http://www.more-mtb.org/forum/showthread.php?t=6257)
