Jake. Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 People shooting down "newer" riders in trials and doubting their claims really makes me wonder how much I want to be associated with the sport. It's appalling how much snobbery there is these days, don't get me wrong everyone's nice but there's a lot of snide stuff lurking round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you are on about, I saw earlier. Joke Innit. It's about having fun, not dick measuring 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Get your points Sam and Dannnananananaaanaananaa2082439723, but at the same time some people find blatant lying to be just as annoying. If he'd not said anything about the height, no-one would have piped up except to congratulate him on an achievement. As you know, I haven't bothered, because I agree it's not really worth it, but there's an easy way this rider could have avoided the situation.

dann2707 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I don't think it's right to convict someone and call someone a liar without evidence of it not being what he said but that's just me. The GoPro has probably distorted the image with the wide angle lens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Wide angle lens would make it look bigger, for a start, but I'm not going to sit here arguing about it. If the guy doesn't think that height is important, why did he mention it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Yeah I didn't really understand that comment either but still, there's no need to be arsey about it with passive aggressive comments (not aimed at you). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclip Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Jake's point on the comments was valid but it was hard not to post a height related comment really as much as we like Jordan. I think it all got taken a bit too seriously though, my comment was purely a joke and wasn't aimed in a bad way. Ross hasn't been serious about anything since the "VOTE" back in September.

Luke Rainbird Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Jesus, talk about blowing out of proportion. Just went and found the post you're all on about and it's nothing, people just seem to like to have something to moan about it seems.

bing Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) This looks about 4ft high, using the TF tapemeasure and a camera phone Edited January 21, 2015 by bing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 To be fair I've measured that rock, and it was 13 foot high. Chill everyone, it's just a joke. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george_seamons Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Not really angry as such, but this is from a friend's Facebook business page. Is it just me, or is it hugely obvious that they have just paid to have shit loads of likes?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Visits (in this sense) means people who have 'checked in' at the business page, not clicks on the page or site. If he has a business which doesn't really lend itself to checking in (same thing with the fifty6 page, we've got 10 'visits') then that's not an awful figure.

As you know, I haven't bothered, because I agree it's not really worth it, but there's an easy way this rider could have avoided the situation. i swear when it was measured it was 4 foot, if its not, then its not. sorry for "lying", guess its a crime against humanity thats gonna kill everyone other than that i dont see why people are so pissed or wound up by it. its a f**king video, if i got the measurement wrong, so what? deal with it. why has an issue been made about a video? its so pathetic im not gonna talk about it. TF is so f**king depressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
