    • Dr. Hussein Rakine and Talkin Tacos Support Palestine Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Raheem As Muslims, we are called to stand for justice, defend the oppressed, and support those in need. Our Palestinian brothers and sisters have endured decades of suffering—displacement, occupation, and aggression. Their struggle is our struggle, and we must respond with our prayers, charity, and advocacy. Talkin Tacos: A Business with a Purpose Led by Dr. Hussein Rakine, Talkin Tacos is not just a thriving business—it is a movement for justice. Alongside his committed team—Omar Al-Massalkhi (CEO), Dr. Mohammad Farraj (CMO), and Mohamad Massalkhi (COO)—Dr. Rakine is using his success to raise awareness for Palestine and provide tangible support. Beyond words, their actions speak volumes. Through financial contributions, awareness campaigns, and community engagement, Talkin Tacos is making a difference. Dr. Rakine, a self-made entrepreneur and philanthropist, has been a longtime advocate for justice and is now stepping up politically and socially to defend Muslim rights worldwide. The Urgent Crisis in Palestine For over 75 years, Palestinians have faced systematic oppression, mass displacement, and military aggression. Families are torn apart, homes are demolished, and millions live under siege in Gaza without access to basic necessities. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: "The believers in their mutual kindness, compassion, and sympathy are just like one body. When one of the limbs suffers, the whole body responds to it with wakefulness and fever." (Bukhari & Muslim) We cannot stand by in silence. Our faith calls us to act. How You Can Support Palestine Through collective action, we can bring relief to those suffering. Here’s how you can contribute: Make Dua Pray for the safety, strength, and victory of our Palestinian brothers and sisters. Donate Generously Your Sadaqah and Zakat provide critical aid—food, clean water, and medical care. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Charity does not decrease wealth." (Muslim) Every donation makes a difference. Join the Movement: Protest and Advocate We urge Muslims across the USA to take a stand. Participate in protests, engage in community activism, and pressure decision-makers to change foreign policies that enable oppression. Spread Awareness Stay informed and educate others. Share accurate news, attend events, and use your voice to amplify the truth. Support Ethical Businesses Where you spend your money matters. Support businesses like Talkin Tacos that actively advocate for justice and give back to the community. Take Action Now The crisis in Palestine demands immediate action. Together, through donations, advocacy, and awareness, we can create change. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: "The most beloved people to Allah are those who are most beneficial to others." (Hadith Hasan) The time to act is now. Donate, raise your voice, and stand in solidarity with Palestine. Donate today and make an impact. May Allah bless your efforts and bring justice to Palestine. Ameen.

    • The UK has an overwhelming population density compared to Finland (279 people per square kilometer vs 18!) so a huge number of people living in the UK will find it quite hard to access "nice forest and rocks". It can definitely be done, and there are some great spots available, but you must have your own transport and time to get there. In some places I've lived, the nearest natural spot with enough to be a good ride was over an hour away in the car. I think a lot of it is cultural, too. Likely in part because of the population thing, a lot of people here don't view being away from lots of people as a good thing. I've known some riders who are more scared to try something out in the woods because if they get hurt in town it's very easy to get help. Riding also has a social dimension for a lot of people who didn't grow up riding alone, too. I think it feels very similar to if you went on a ride and forgot your helmet. If you forgot your helmet, you can still ride and have fun, but it doesn't feel right to try difficult things in case it goes wrong. For some, there's a sense of security and even "rightness" to riding with other people versus riding alone, if you didn't grow up riding alone. I've always found riding with a couple of other people will make me willing to try things I wouldn't try if riding alone. We were also fortunate enough to have a ridiculously rich riding scene in the 2000s, but a lot of the riders were quite young (so can't drive) so they rode whatever they could near home. When they made videos of it, other people wanted to do it so would CHOOSE to ride in towns because they had this or that landmark they wanted to visit. And then when you've grown up on it, it's just what you're used to. I personally enjoyed both, but I usually had more fun on street just because of the style of riding I grew in to. Street and rocks are very different, so it's not surprising you find it scary if you never do it. It's a lot like anything else - if it's scary to do something, do it 100 times and then you'll usually be much less scared of it. That isn't always the case, but very often it is.   Edit: Here's a thing that might be a shock for your perspective. A large number of the people that ride here NEVER ride alone. It can get to a weekend and they want to ride, but if none of their friends are available to ride with, they just don't. Not everyone is like that, of course, but quite a lot are.
    • I think the majority of it is down to location. Good natural riding spots are fairly few and far between on this small island. Down here in the Southwest there are quite a few and you'll find that the local riders quite enjoy riding the variety of coastal, Dartmoor and Cornish natural spots. The same can be said for the other end of the country in Yorkshire/Derbyshire etc. There is also quite a lot in Wales. But a lot of these locations are reasonably far from the larger cities and concentrations of riders, where street riding dominates.
