Taking a break during a hard climb and say to the guys passing by "I'm waiting for my buddy" 😅
Yea! My buddy is REALLY out of shape! Not ME! 😂
and then they say I didn't see anyone back there :(
@@TRISHYXX "Oh. He must still be in the parking lot".
When I’m stopped on the side of the trail, and people ask me if I’m good, I just tell them I’m out of shape lol.
No Way! You gotta be like..."The atmospheric conditions are REALLY stirring up an old knee injury!" 😂
Lol nice! I’ve been known to tell people I’m good, just need a quick puke and I’ll be right back in the trail
What about:
My pedal pins are feeling a bit worn, just not getting that secure grip
I tried this new chamois butter and it's just not stopping the chaffing
That roll out is just to much for my 27.5er, really needed to bring my 29er
That switchback is just too tight for my 29er, I should've brought my 27.5er
I can't start this climb until my GPS gets signal so I can track this ride on Strava
My new rear hub is just so much clickier than my old one I was distracted
This new hub so silent I couldn't gauge my speed into the berm
Hahaha! All of these are brilliant! 😂
How about "I need to go guys, there's a new Calirado Kid UA-cam video just released that i need to go watch".
The BEST excuse of all!! 😂
Brilliant! Love these extended videos!
Thanks Rich! I can't let YOU have all the UA-cam fun without me!
What dedication to your craft by cutting out that spoke! 😂
It's all about attention to detail! 😂
This is too real.
"Yeah, I know I said I was going to do *INSERT FEATURE*, but I'm just not feeling it today..."
Can't say I've ever made any of those excuses.
However I have used "my shoulder has been feeling a bit unstable lately, maybe I shouldn't send the 14ft. Double."
As a fellow Coloradan, I blame everything on altitude…car issues…shoelace came untied…you name it! And flatlanders don’t even know how to respond.
😂 I am so sorry that you are now making it into my algorithms. YOU are hilarious, man! Thanks for the laughs and many truths!
Gassing out after a long uphill, pulling over to the side of the trail and pretending to be busy on your cell phone while you try and catch your breath 🤙
Ohhh man! Hahaha. I’ve definitely used that one! 😂
The bonkin' bit gets me every time!! HA!
Brilliant video mate 😂
The last eBike comment. Classic!! I'm pretty sure I've used all of those at some point....
I figure that one will get some people worked up. 😂
The ebike one is spot on! Most those excuses disappeared when I got my ebike this year.
Now it’s just.. my motor is underpowered for this hill! My motor is overpowered for this hill! I forgot to charge my battery last night! I crashed cuz I was trying to read my display!
Neil de Grasse Tyson sure knows that we need to take lot of breaks when it hot out there!!! LOL!!!
Lol, "missing a spoke in the back tire"
This new saddles cutting my BOLLOCKS OFF
Snapped spokes is a valid one lmao.
I don't know. We snapped spokes back in the day with V-brakes and we just adjusted the other spokes enough to finish the ride or we loosed the brake enough to finish the ride.
I popped 4 spokes on different rides on my OEM wheels this last year and with disk brakes, it wasn't an issue at all.
Ive replaced those wheels now.
SO GOOD SO TRUE
I drank way too much last night and I am paying for it now. That's my go to.
Haha! Story of my life!
Not bad… may try this one. Haha 🤙
Honestly I was thinking this was mediocre, till that last one really hit!
I actually had a guy say, "It's too rocky!" and my reply, "It's called mtn biking, not road biking"....I heard a racer at one of our local trails complaining during the race that the course was too rocky also. I just want to tell these types of riders to go buy a commuter and stick to paved trails.
Yeah im sure youre totally out there just shredding those trails yourself, on a trek hardtail
@@Shred_Tube I actually do ride a Trek Roscoe 8 on technical and rocky trails, the more technical the better for myself. I may not be fast, but I do ride black rated trails. I am not into flow and jump lines, I leave that for the newer crop of riders who prefer that.
@@johnnydoe66 I ride black trails with 14 year old girls on my group ride. The word i used was "shred"
@@Shred_Tube Your definition of "shred" may be totally different than a multitude of other riders. I stated that I don't do flow or jump lines. I go fast when I need to, but after 30+ yrs of mtn biking I have nothing to prove. I have had a host of injuries, twice knocked unconscious and 6 concussions, so I ride to within my level/ability. No matter how good you think you are, there's always someone who has more skills. If "shredding" means riding something like the Portal Trail in Moab, then guess what....I shred.
Good for you riding with 14 yr old girls on Blacks, that means that they're probably going to be even better riders than yourself when they get to be your age.
I am not the least bit dissatisfied in my abilities.
@@johnnydoe66 ...If youre not the least bit dissatisfied with your abilities then why do you have a problem admitting that you dont shred...which you clearly dont. Seems like youre just an insecure old fart that needs an e-bike or to stick to the green trails
You forgot the best one of all "my helmets too tight"
Awesome ......so true
I need to get the 4 piston disc brakes. These 2 piston brakes don't have good modulation.
I need ALL the modulation!! 😂
Not the 16 piston?
"I'm waaaay too over-pistoned for these mellow trails"
Oh, I have the wrong tires for the conditions today.
Only the spoke is a valid point.
you were really missing a spoke????!!! lol
Haha! It's been missing since my Whistler road trip. That wheel has more wobble than an N'Sync music video! 😂
OMG 😆 you nailed it to a T that’s so funny 🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣 👍😎🤘🍻
Okay the missing spoke is actually kind of cause for concern, WTF 😂😂😂
More excuses:
My e bike is too heavy.
My ebike gives too much assist, so I spin out.
This hub motor is too heavy.
My bike is too heavily geared.
I forgot to take off the mud tyres.
My bar is crooked.
My grips twist.
My seat post has too much play.
I have the temporary plastic pedals, ths t came on the bike.
My reflectors cut me up so I am bleeding call 911.
You need the Prizm Trail Torch lenses for riding. That Jade is too dark!
Yea. I definitely need to pick up a couple more pairs or riding glasses. I need the lighter ones so I can avoid bugs in the eye!
It’s impossible you’re like this
You have a Yeti
And your dropper drop is fully maxed based on seat height. It’s perfect!
Handle bar width….so funny
Oval will make you twice as fast for sure 😂😂😂😂🔥
That's what I heard! 😂
@@CaliradoKid they actually help alot, they eliminate the heavy part of the stroke, and my knee pain. So I won't return to round, I refuse to. 👌
@@mtbboy1993 its a placebo effect. I changed to an oval for a while then back to a round chainring and its no easier or harder to pedal
@@Melonator13 Results might vary. it's not placebo. you are in a lighter gear at the hard part of the stroke and a heavier in the easy part of the stroke. so it gives an even stroke.
my pain went away. If I use round rings my knees hurt. To me the difference is huge. Yes you get used to it they won't feel weird once you got used to it.
If you look at it from an technical stand point it makes sense too. I struggled with horrible knee pain from riding, since I was a kid, I wanted an oval chainring since then. As soon as I had oval chainring I could finally ride without agony. But how much difference you notice can depend on how you ride. The way I ride I notice it as I actually pedal a lot. It's just me getting stronger, the oval chainring definitely helps me. if you can do without that is nice. but I just cant take it, it reduces my riding time and makes me want to stop, my body says stop. I use Absolute Black, there are knock off junk that does not give the desired result where the timing is wrong.
Some think it's marketing propaganda, but it's not, but they don't understand how it works, you might not notice it working even if it does, but with my knees it's really noticeable. It was not just normal fatigue. It was so bad I just could not continue, so I had to take it easy, ride less steep stuff, less tech, ride slower, relax more, to maximise the riding time, no I can push much harder. yes i do get muscle fatigue, but my knees don't hurt like someone tried to beat me up.
To me it made sense.
We all have that friend
Ja ja ja! I’ve heard half of them and say the other half.
I think my bike's too heavy I need to shave off a couple hundred grams ...
Guys.. I'm bonkin.. bonkin real hard
I don’t have any excuse like that I have a health issue so when I can not ride I really can’t
In good ole days bike riding was simple no BS.Now people buy expensive rigs and look down on each other
0:16 sure ti's not you that is too high?😝
yo if u live in colorado you should hit bear creek trails.
🤣🤣 Niel Degrasse Tyson #science !!!
It's basically a proven fact at this point. 😂
Some that I admit to making all the time:
Man, this mullet setup makes the climb so much harder
I keep hitting my pedals on rocks
I keep slipping and sliding everywhere
One sec I gotta go stretch
Gotta pee sorry guys wait up for me there
I haven’t ridden in like 2 weeks I feel like a beginner again
My hub is too loud i can’t focus on the trail
I’m not used to steep lips like this
As dirtbike rider i can relate with non of them
was gonna come out with you lot but my bikes broken and my dad's bus7
busy
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 perfect
Didn’t bobo do this exact video like a month ago?
Wahahaha! 😂
yeah oval chainring yes yes
Ride a full rigid singlespeed. Then you don't have access to any of these excuses. And the ones you do have access to make even less sense because you CHOSE to ride that bike. Also, it's fun.
How is it fun when you have huge technical climbs? I've only rode single speed on a bmx and fixed gear road/commuter. I don't see how single speed is fun on a MTB. It seems like more of a punishment to me.
@@SugmaDLigmaNutz you just answered your own question. You haven't tried it, so you don't know.
to wife: i'll just buy eggs for tomorrow's breakfast.
*goes on a 2 1/2 mtb ride
comes home without the eggs. 😅
#truestory
AND they were already scrambled! 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m with Mark! 😂
Or, the dirts too dry, I'm not getting any traction.....the dirts too wet, I'm not getting any traction
Nice to know that mountain bikers can be just as douchey as any other hobby enthusiast. It's not the hobby that makes people douche bags, they were like that to begin with.
People cry way too much these days!
Funny
W
"I can reach longer with an ebike" - guys who cant go uphill, got bad physical condition and so on...
Its basically full of this type of shit
Also people shedding weight on their bike but they dont remove weight from themselves
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Im on my period, ran out of pads
Hahahaha
The XC guys always on some weird s**t. Get on your bike and go ffs
This made me hate modern bikes.
I ride 5 days a week, and never said one single thing in this video. Just saying.
Ebikers can't ride MTBs
