I need to vent or put up hypotheticals about 6MR and mud riders.

[jShort]

Disagree. When the trails are covered with snow and frozen that's open to me. Zero chance of doing any damage - I rode there twice in Dec after snow - some of the best snow riding I've ever had. And fyi there were no closed signs in the canal lot

I’m with you on this. If it’s in the teens and no sun, I’m riding.

Not that there was anything wrong with it, but didn’t @jdog sell a few MTBNJ kits to the public at halters?

I remember seeing someone wearing full kit on a Thursday ride at CR and I was like hey new guy, are you coming? He was with his own group and he no idea who we were

He did, plus another shop did. But I presume those are long gone. Or those guys break out the MTBNJ kits when they do wrong things to be able to say it wasn't them. Or the OOS jersey which is O&B could easily be mistaken for our team. And so on.

Curious when you saw someone at CR with a full team kit. We also have former riders with the team kit but I think most of those guys toss them when they are done.

 

[Soundguy]

The OOS jersey is an easy mistake when you just see orange and blue at a glance.

This reminds me why I have boycotted 6mile for almost three years. The nonstop social media arguments ruin the whole thing for me.

 

[Zaskar]

there are a few board members on there - but snow and frozen doesn't count.
or does it?

Different Jan 6 assclowns

I have a jersey and only break it out when I am robbing the local mini mart while using a stocking as a mask.

Honestly, if we can't agree on here, how is the general riding population supposedly to follow the fuzzy guidance from the state. At some point we just need to fix what gets trashed and move on. This is what happens anyways, right?

Really? Blame it on the OOS is the name of the game now?!?!

I have a Jimmy Johns jersey for this purpose. The best part is that I got it for free.

In the immortal words of Sergeant Hulka, "Lighten up, Francis." It was merely an example to illustrate a point that people generalize based on a small bit of information.

Same. I usually rob banks with my Ride for the Cure jersey. Just for the irony.

To your point, yes I agree. I put in a good amount of time at CR and this is something @Kirt has pushed to me. I mean people are going to ride no matter what. Let them blow off steam and enjoy it and we'll do our best to fix it. Getting all worked up about it isn't a good idea for any reason.

If people helped with TM as much as they bitch about things, something something something...

In one ironic twist of fate nobody seems to take my real word persona seriously, while the exact opposite happens to my internet one instead...and my name is not Francis...oops, did I do it again?

 

[Steve Vai]

As a person that has hung signs all over a Retail Space, built walls with cardboard boxes, and have locked the door, people can't read. Like zero percent. Those people also all bought bikes, 400+% worth of bikes. Thousands upon thousands of bikes. They go to 6-Mile because it's the closest and easiest place to ride in a 100-mile radius.

I blame @Mtbdog

 

[JimN]

people can't read

They can, they just choose not to. Or they think the rules don't apply to them, because they are special.

 

[Paul H]

The next day he let me know that several team mtbNJ members in full mtbNJ kit were seen on bikes there the day before.

Cant be OOS... we don't do full on lycra

Hey hold on a minute here.
I may be an ass, I may be a clown but I resent being compared to an assclown.
I don't ride Slick 6 often but will be there for NICA race. Signed up for Lew Mo also, come join the fun.

Not calling you an ass or a clown or the combination of...
I just blame you for everything... like the other day... had a tooth ache and I was like... damn you Frank! damn you to hell!

 

[gpTron]

I usually just swap out my license plate for a NY one so when people do recon of the lots they can think "effing NY mook ruining our trails".

good use of "mook"

so what i'm reading here is that the problem is a bunch of men?

ETA: sarcasm... just in case i needed to make that clear

 

[icebiker]

If I’m not mistaken, Nox closes for the winter and its closure is generally understood and observed. Perhaps we can learn from their experience and apply to 6MR?

You might be onto something. Maybe there should be a curfew for men.
