	We've all had fun laughing at Jeff Foxworthy making fun of us rednecks (speaking for myself, of course). Well I was wondering if we could poke a little fun of ourselves (MTBers) and have a laugh or two. I've caught myself mumbling "Rookie!" under my breath when I do something stupid on the trail. So this gave me the idea for... "You might be a rookie, if..." ...you lay flat on your back across the trail when out of breath!!! yup. happened Sunday. I was able to get stopped in time.

	...you leave a 10 foot skid mark before every sharp turn or drop in the trail!!! (to trail gnomes they're called "erosion ditches")

	You think UST stands for "Ultimate Sidewall Technology" courtesy of Maxxis of course. Yes, I know someone who actually claimed that is what UST stood for.

	You pull over for an overtaking rider on a hill that causes you to stall out or put your foot down. Do not do this. Make them wait until your ascent is secured and then allow them to pass you. When a rider says, "On your right(or left) it is up to them to make the pass. You do not have to ride in the weeds. Let them do it.

	You complain about a section of trail that is too hard and needs to be "re-worked". or..."we need an option around that section since it's too technical".

	You complain about lower back pain and when you are told your seat height is way to low you declare that your seat height is just fine.

	You want to race me at Sherman on selected segments after you take a break on three of them to wait for me at the fire road right after I ride roller coaster which you didn't and your cheap A$$ trek is skipping gears the whole time.

	listening to dumbass's talk rock star to you and go home and figure up or down across the wrist and why are you doing this, saying this from personal experience . Ride your bike and all will fall into play...
