Trials On The Brain

[GAZ T]

i though id share my un-diagnosed medical condition with you people........

if i walk down to the shop or i'm in a car with someone going somewhere or anywhere for that matter i always think of riding............i look at a wall and think "mmmm thats a nice backwheel" or "id love to see someone sidehop that"

it may sound pretty normal to you folks but i think about it allllll the time its so annoying it was the same when i used to skateboard id look at a stair set and think "id love to ollie down them badboys!".

maybe anyone else has this problem or it might just be my weirdness

thanks .................GAZ................

Everyone who rides a bike for fun has it, you won't grow out of it.

[yoyoyo]

Think yourself lucky, you've still got to get to the point where you start jumping up/across things, to see if you could make it on a bike.

Thats when you look silly.

you know it's serious when you spend £80 on pixie boots, just because...

At me the precisely same situation!

And it is not stupid!

[Endohopper]

I suffer from this too , mys psychiatrist diagnoses it as Inappropriate Obstacle Evaluation Syndrome .

:$

[BIG L]

iI always do that but the good thing is if you drive through a really good riding spot you know where it is and can go there with your bike!!

[Si-man]

Worst think is when your watching TV or a film and are like "i bet i could make that gap...look at that wall!!!!!...i could drop that" etc

Gets annoying after a while lol

[Dr Greenthumb]

I walk in the same style as i would ride, i.e swerve across roads, down sets of stairs for no apparant reason, climb over walls etc.

It's worrying.

It's only a real problem when you start announcing "I bet I could make that gap" with other people around. I enjoy thinking about hopping around on my bike, but it appears other people don't share my enthusiasm for obstacle evaluation. Bus ride conversation normally follows something like:

*10 second silence*

me: "Ahh, I could prolly bunny hop that bad boy"

guy next to me: "Shut the hell up"

*20 second silence"

me: "Dude, thats a nice gap"

guy next to me: "Nobody cares"

*20 second silence"

me: "I was on my bike yesterday and I -"

*guy next to me takes a swing at my head*

Topic changes until the next 10 seconds of silence, and then repeats.

[blinky]

*nods head* all of the above, although i havent started walking like i ride yet lol. although i do seem to piss my non-riding chums off when stating which walls look gappable etc. the worst thing is when you go on holiday or something like that and you wish you had taken your bike as soon as you get off the plane...yeah thats gay.
