    good riddance
    No. You ruined it for yourself.
    Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.

    When I went to school ... they spelt it implicitly ... so there is obviously plenty (including your Grammar) you fail to understand.
    If you have doubts as to the reasons for any instructions you (or anybody else) is given ... ask either the person giving the instructions, or an experienced rider you trust to explain why. They can hardly refuse if the request is polite.

    Remember ... sheep rely on each other as a group for survival. And it usually works for them.

    And critical thinking can kill you.

    Ask questions .... not make statements. And you will find more people have more time to reply ...
    When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...

    drdarkmatter: think you needa chill out no? I understand your point of view. No one should order anyone around but I believe they are speaking from a point of view where the rider is throwing his weight around thinking he da bomb but actually he/she is just a lil naive shit and just endangering others....

    Those kinda people deserve a whoop up the arse for their arrogance and other riders should be aware of their idiocy. They'll weed themselves out by natural selection anyways...Than we get to vote them for the darwin awards and lol at them.



    Yup I was harsh, do I regret it, maybe and I probably would have apologized if not for all persons who were not there, bandwagon jumpers on, trolls and busy bodies. I am not any more fussed than she is about telling people to shut up, she obviously thinks she is right and I think I am write, I dont need to take that, there is NO need, its ego pure and simple

Everyone has different learning paces so maybe they are, but that's god damn rude imo. Support, not ridicule or rubbish!
    What a great post! Support, not ridicule or rubbish!

    True for every situation. We are none so great etc...

    Sometimes the message can get lost in it's delivery, just ask Katman!

    I have absolutely no doubt that the experienced riders running that ride are doing a fantastic job of providing a safe, learner friendly ride experience. I take my hat off to them actually for the committment they show. If the delivery of the message becomes a little blunt at times :tough shit:

    It is all about the safety of all on the ride. If some learners dont want to fit the model, or feel they are being dictated to, good riddance would be my reaction. Good luck and ride safe would be parting comment.
