MrMonkey Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Wearing so much padding you fall off and not feel anything. Not due to the padding just due to the cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhenoVenom Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Hehe I'm the only one who voted "no". Well I live in Finland so during winter its -5 to -30 C and half a meter of snow, so yes I ride only indoor during winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich4130 Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Im kinda looking forward to a frosty morning, I ride with bald tyres and slipping rear brake in the summer, so it shouldn't make too much difference. :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I prefer winter riding, there's no-one on the prom, no flowers to kill on the rock garden thigys and I dont get as hot. I drip with sweat after about 15 minutes in the summer :lol: . The only bad thing about winter is the bloody wind :- ditto for me. You've saved my typingness (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Hum, i can't vote. :lol: Anyway, i love riding in winter so long as it's dry, you don't sweat wither. Gotta love a cold crisp mornings ride. :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 i ride with control and the rest of the people i ride with just go crazy so in the wet and winter months im streets ahead riding as they just use sheer force to get anywhere!! :( Same situation as me, other riders i know ride with sketchy styles and use brute strength to get up things where as i concentrate on technique to get me up. So in winter if theres a wet wall or rail they are going to fall off while i take my time and nail it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I love riding in the winter, so much more fun. When i get hot i get fed up of riding, whereas when its not warm its a good time to ride. I love it because not many people are out on the sreets, so that line you always wanted to do, but there was always someone there is totally clear. only problem is the ice cold wind :( Cheers Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz M Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 the majority of people quit or dont ride as much in the winter, i dont really mind, ill be out everynight just as normal, think about it its the oppertunity to improve just as much as in the summer but loads of people arent, so your bettering yourself just as much as in the summer, people will probably say you should ride for fun but IMO the better you are the more fun it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 winter riding is so much fun, if you can't bee f**ked with proper riding in the middle of winter - just wait till it snows and is icy, its awesome :ermm: flat out towards a snow drift. I think i ride better in the winter too :) and last winter i thought it was the best time to stop wearing gloves. WTF!!! shipley glen on a cold winter morning can only be beaten by glen on a warm summers evening :( anyhow it ain't winter yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghosts_cloak Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 I have just got my trials bike, so I wont be quitting for the winter!!! Although having said that, I will be at uni most of the time (starting in October) so I will be pretty busy in term time (honest!) I just need to get the confidence up to grind my rear rim now :"> ~Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Lol. Stop looking down at things. Stop with that Emo crap and listen to some ska and punk. That'll make you want to ride. :D :'(" Oh so very true, gets you up off the ground, and starts the bady moving. cant be bad. but i will be riding most possible minutes through winter, apart from when im just plain too tired/working. *gets out the waterproofs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burton Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 It makes riding that little more interesting :'( But it can really piss you off if you wanna ride and its crap weather. Plus it takes forever to warm up and stay warm, and your fingers freeze. I think when it starts to get bad, ill just ride weekends, and the odd night, rather than everyother day.

Janson Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 first few days of november will probably be the last trials i ride until march time.. i take bmxing up during the winter, can't be assed to ride in the snow. i will be making another snow video for sure though... riding alone is boring enough, add about -10 degrees and a bit of snow and there you are...
