Seems like this guy's efforts would be better served moving rocks on TMDs.

(Video about a fellow who figured out some ingenious ways of moving massive blocks of rock and other heavy objects.)

Definitely.

I understand how he can get two slabs in the ground, but how is he gonna get the third on top of the other two?

Post by: fishnchips on March 20, 2008, 09:21:07 AM
I suppose the same way he got the long one positioned; rocking back and forth with counter weights and building up a platform. I'd like to see him do it though.

All I saw was a guy doing a wheelie.  I didn't hear any comment.

Post by: fishnchips on May 02, 2008, 11:57:55 AM
it was in the text comments. Take a look at the guy doing the wheelie again. Cracked me up, but then I guess my mind is like that

Well, it did look like he was humping the air while riding.   :D

if I'm not mistaken that's within a mile of my folks' place in London. Too bad I've got no balls for urban riding; the closest place for any real MTB is 20min by train outside of London. I've no doubt these guys are riding the underground looking for places to hit.

I use to do that on my big wheel when I was 6 years old...

Ha. that's pretty funny

Back story for those who are like "wtf": While sitting around the fire on Saturday night, stomaches full of good eats, legs sore, beer and stuff circulating the group. Stories and shit talk was plentiful. This song is on someones playlist...I'm not sure who started singing it first, but it stuck in our heads into the Sunday ride! It's never a good song that sticks in your head.

This is another "not so funny".   

Olympic MTB rider busted for EPO!  Say it  ain't so! I mean, MTB riders might not all be drug-free, but up until now it's just been something recreational, at worst it may act as a lube for the brain!  But a pro rider cheating with EPO...

Hey - a lot of the pro cyclists used to be mountain bike racers (Landis, Rasmussen, Evans), so a lot of the culture is the same.  Same guys, different shorts, different bikes.  Apparently the same drugs, though.


Title: Re: Funnies
Post by: jpearce on August 03, 2008, 08:23:03 PM
Got this from a fellow engineering classmate, but it probably applies to mountain bikers too:

Two engineering students were walking across a university campus when one said, 'Where did you get such a great bike?' The second engineer replied, 'Well, I was walking along yesterday, minding my own business, when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike, threw it to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, 'Take what you want.' The second engineer nodded approvingly and said, 'Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit you anyway.'

I can't remember who I was talking to about this but it sure does bring back some memories.
