Re:Dumb question thread. CONTINUED.... Sorry for making a new thread on the subject but i feel everyone needs to see and read this and maybe somebody can elaborate on what i'm sayin more and make it a sticky to remind everybody about what i'm saying below
My Reply to Last Thread:
There are some dumb questions but there are a lot that get branded dumb but are not at all to a newb. I know I like to know what most people do step by step for anything new whether it is just starting to do power wheelies, method for clutching, or some big sh*t. People that are experienced and have already learned the hard way now have the data to save some peoples asses b4 they go out and try to "figure out" stuff. I have a friend that just started riding, now he is not stupid or retarded but he has never had a bike or even a fast car b4 so he was really in the dark, he was asking me questions about how i was doing stuff so i gave him the usual safety run down and how it takes time but what really got me was he asked if you had to redline and pop the clutch to wheelie!!! i almost pissed myself i was like HHEEELLLL NOOO!!! think if i had just been an *** like some people and just laughed at him and told him to just go figure it out he would probably had of killed himself I'm guessing he was thinking that was how people got up on 1 on the freeway or something i don't know like i said he is not a dumbass but just totaly in the dark on bikes. So anyway please remember are experience and data is so important, this site has probably saved a number of lives just from newbs asking "dumb questions," we all get so desensitized to what we do and see everyday in this sport that it just seem so easy to us now. People feel like asking questions on how to wheelie and what BP feels like is like asking how to breath or something. We make fun but this sh*t is serious business and takes skill to do ANYTHING on a bike from a power wheelies to highchair circles so just remember what I've said when you get "dumbass" questions, make fun if you wish but make sure you let the individual know WHAT'S REAL, don't make them feel so bad about asking a question and then turn up dead.
