sideburns(dnt ask) Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you have ever felt that somtimes people from other sports sometimes rip on people because of the sports they choose.I don't see why people just can't learn to live with the sports that some people choose to partipate in.LIke i rollerblade, ride trials and occasionally bmx and with any of those sports theres always the haters that just take the piss.Why do they feel the need to do this????sorry about the rant and didn't really feel that this belongs in the angry thread.peace guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaffacakes Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Everyone wants to be the best, and what they do to be the best. So put every other sport down, they dont do.Same way the english hate the french, It's just how it's done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trials_pimp Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Alot of it stems from Skate Park Eticate.When you are riding a BMX in a skate park, and there is a few Kids on skates Constantly getting in the way youll get pissed off.Same with any sports that share a common ground.Unfortunalty its exactly the same as stereo typing. Because 1 group of people were being dicks, they are representing their sport and will make other people belive that everyone who partakes in that sport is like them.It wont ever end because differnt sports will never see eye to eye, and the common groud they share will allways be slightly swayed towards one perticular sport.Dirt jumps are a prime example. BMXers want short, steep high jumps, Mountain bikers want longer lower jumps.The best thing you cna do is represent your sport as best you can, allways follow the eticate of area your in and dont be a cock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 From my experience its generally the people who suck at the other sports (BMXing, blading, skateboarding whatever) or are just nobs and put anything down which they do not do themselves.I've met and am now good friends with BMX riders who see that I appreciate my trials riding in the same way they appreciate BMX, lets face it, well all ride bikes we are get the same shit from the public, its almost like when motorcyclists nod at one another on the roads.

Captain Scarlet Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 but do bikers nod scooter riders...I actually thought of that as I posted.Some of them do, but I really don't bother trying anymore. Okay another good analagy, like when courier drivers wave at each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
