Christian Amazing work! It’s exactly this sort of thing I’m trying to avoid whilst skating at the mo. A slam is a slam, but I don’t want it to be a proper creaser doing a shit trick.

    I’ve had that a few times going up steep hill huffing & puffing like I’m having an asthma attack then someone comes gliding past smoking a fat cigar.
    I am coming round to the idea though after having a few conversations with some Emtb riders. They all say that they encourages you more to go out & for longer rides. It’s the cost that’s stopping me atm

        rhouses the butterfly Timo Boll 2000

        Lollers, proper sounds like something from the Simpsons.

            Amps lol. Timo Boll is a maniac, #1 player in Europe. His matches with Ma, the World Number #1, are bat shit crazy.

              Millsy The recovery from injury time as one gets into one’s ‘sunset years’ is indeed rather alarming. I used to walk off an ACL tear or a broken collarbone with the help of 6 cans of Stella and a kebab when I was in my 20s. Now it takes c5 years and £150 BUPA excess to recover from a stubbed toe.

              Millsy, head to Amazon and purchase the following -

              Minerals.

                Millsy Failing that you might try sipping half a bottle of Harden The Fuck Up, Millsy

                  Millsy Lol. I was expecting you

                  Like your local postman I’m always delivering!

                    Problem with e-mtbs is they’re far too heavy and ugly as fuck. If you like popping and jumping over roots and stuff on the trials you’re better off with a normal bike. I also don’t buy this shit about them encouraging you to go harder and longer either, a human powered bike will be much better for fitness.

                      Not tried an ebike yet but can imagine the weight of them going downhill will also limit how quickly you can turn. Reading everyone else view I am still not made my mind up if it would be worth the investment

                      mono-stereo agreed. Can still see me buying one when my knees start to go though 🤷🏻‍♂️

                        Millsy With you there. Im 47 and would still love to play football but its embarassing. That said, playing footy for a couple of hours a week and giving it some drops a load of weight.

                        Prior to lockdown when I was in Nashville was playing footy at lunchtime 3 times a week and once at the weekend and was the fittest ive been for years. All gone to shit since then…..

                          Shirley the point of the ebikes is to get a big comfy number and cruise about on them?

                            Amps
                            LOL.

                            Was thinking same but thought I must be missing something!!

                              That’s what I thought until you take a harder look into it. Most of the decent bike have different riding modes. Sure you could put in comfort mode & just cruise around.

                              if you want to piss about and have a laugh you might as well go for a proper e dirt bike.
