Message: [QUOTE="Jaybird, post: 433537, member: 22283"] Rocky, I'm not trying to be an ass here. There have been many times before that I wanted to say something to dell about the advise he gives. Advise is fine, but lets keep it in perspective here. Many time young folks will tout a product simply because it is what they have, and for no other reason. Also many times a kid will post advise becasue he has seen it in a video or read it in a book, which is fine, but I would state that my advise came from such a source if I did offer it. I tried to use a bit of sarcastic comedy to make my point, but as usual when you call a kid on something they get all defensive and start justifying their posts. Fine, but I just have seen too many times where dell gives advise that is either something he got from his xr80 experiences, or straight from a book or video. Which is fine also, but one should state the source when offering such info. I wouldn't say a word to dell, except that I have noticed a few contradictary posts in the past. I won't go into a large spew on dells posts, but I will offer this thread for an example, since it does relate to what was posted here. Read it and you will have to admit that it was not from a young man who has a good foothold on jumping, or has it all figured out, as was stated. [url]http://dirtrider.net/forums3/showthread.php?s=&threadid=55218[/url] Sure, I seem to come off as a butthead sometimes, but I am not trying to beat up anyone....I just think that we should ALL have to account for what we offer here. Especially on riding technique, since it can be one of the most important areas that we delve into. Anyone can give bad advise on how many pounds to put in a tire, or what type of plastic polish to use and usually no harm, no foul...but when it comes to riding, we need to be spot-on with our advise or run the risk of a first time rider possibly getting hurt by following bad info. Perhaps I am over the top here. I will back off and not say another word. [/QUOTE]
