How Many Friends Have You Made

Recommended Posts

Shitloads. Masses and masses. Was trying to explain to my sister how cool the whole community shizzle is and how far it's taken me and so on. She said she bought her first car for the amount I've spent all in on my T-Pro as it is, and I was trying to point out how it kept me fit, didn't rape the environment, was good fun, but mostly how I'd met so many awesome people from it.

Seriously, there are people on the forum who I might not get along with, but you generally do "in real life". Everyone's sound when they're riding, it's really good. Comps especially - thought it'd be all quiet and elitist and so on, but everyone just has a laugh and there's loads of friendly banter going on.

It's really good though. Some of my favouritest friends are people from here who I speak to on MSN or just on here - there's a lot of nice people about, 'specially to people who've let me stay at their houses/ask them questions/sold me stuff/bought stuff off me :blink:

I met my 3 best mates through riding, haven't made any friends on here yet, mainly because I haven't attended any rides and tend not to use MSN or anything (Y)

EDIT: @Mark: Just noticed you joined 3 days after me... that's quite weird... how close is that considering there's 365 days in a year, and this place has been going a good 4 (?) years... hmm random...

My msn list is full.

Not sure who 75% of them are but I know about 95% of all my contacts have something to do with mountain biking in general.

The trials wknd in llandudno was cool in that i could put faces to all these names i know on here. so cheers tom and danny (Y)

I reckon it must be getting on for 100 people, on various rides/comps/piss-ups. And I think I met one person who annoyed me. No names obviously, but out of 100 people, that's not bad (Normally about 1 in 2 people really piss me off (Y) ).

I've met a lot of people through trials and TF..

I can't think of any other sport that has a "community" like trials does.. Everyone just gets on with anyone else who is a trials rider!

Riders like Leon and Lloyd are some of my best mates, even if we stopped riding we'd still go out and stuff.. get me!

It's all good!
