Alternative to mtbr?

Bomba · 2003-02-07T16:00:14+00:00

Bikemagic.com is a British site that has a review section in much a similar style to mtbr. There are a couple of differences though. Firstly, the website seems to have a target more akin to that of a.m-b. Secondly, they give out prizes each week for those who have given good reviews. In BM's word's, "you'll not win with any old this is 'wickid/cr@p' nonsense." There is some of that about, but it's mainly reserved for the adult-bmx bits. There aren't a huge amount of reviews at the mo', but it's looking quite good. Hopefully, they can maintain the decent reviews and it will be a useful resource. http://www.bikemagic.com/review/review.asp?1&sp=&v=1 -- a.m-b FAQ: http://www.t-online.de/~jharris/ambfaq.htm b.bmx FAQ: http://www.t-online.de/~jharris/bmx_faq.htm

Ok, badly phrased, but I meant the contributors to both generally aren't testosterone-fueled,
illiterate jump/shuttle monkeys who call everybody 'dude'.

peeeeesssssssssssssss, Bill The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector,
that is, the mind should give an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.

Sorry. That still doesn't make sense.
You forgot the all-important qualifier "to me" at the end of your sentence.
To those of us with functional brain cells it made plenty of sense.

Hmmm...I wonder how many folks you, or bomba, have met from MTBR?
It still doesn't make sense.

The funniest thing about this discussion is that the person who claimed to know what MTBR posters
are like, doesn't read it.
Classic AMB.

I've read it on occasions - there's good stuff, but there's a lot of [censored] stuff. I don't read it
regularly, so if I've made an erroneous generalisation and there are no longer large numbers of
teenagers with spelling and shift key problems, I'll retract my comments.

Ah, without large generalisations and your pedantry, things just wouldn't be the same :~)

No, the funniest thing about this thread is you saying "it still doesn't make sense" when it
actually DOES make sense, and has from the beginning (except to you.) But it's a nice diversionary
attempt on your part.

Yeah, it "makes sense," to folks who admit they don't even read MTBR. Yeah, perfect sense.

Nope. No diversion. Just facts. Just commenting from experience, unlike others.

Yup. The truth, as opposed to silly generalizations based upon...no experience.

Clue: Define the difference between "I don't read it regularly," "I don't read it" and "I have read
it in the past, but don't bother any more."
Ding! We have a pedantic winner!

Ooops, now who made an unsubstantiated generalization? LOL! "The truth" - you are too funny.
