Default Older riders vs. Younger riders

I just hate the younger riders because they heal so much quicker than I do![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Seriously though, I dislike alot of the younger crowds because they dont respect riding areas by leaving behind trash, bottles in the fire pits, nails from pallets and just disregard for pack it in, pack it out. I also don't like how they party. We all like to drink and have a good time but the 18-21 crowd always seem to get a little carried away. Get as hammered as you want, but don't go pickin' fights and stealin' peoples shiz. I love to drink when camping but I also know how to have fun with it and not act like an a$$.
I know it ain't all of them but the times I see it, it's almost always that age group. Thanks for letting me vent. BTW, I'm only 35.

im 29 and im one of those kids that started young (5 yrs old) i started with a atc 70, then to a 125 then 185 then 200x then 250r/banshee/anything thats real fast. i think that most younger people havent enjoyed the crash of an atc. they started with a quad. of course a quad is harder to flip so i figure that thats why kids are going so crazy. another group of people is the newbies to the quad/atc riding. those people no matter how old they are, sometimes act like idiots. but when they crash for the first time real hard act like sissies after. so its all about experience, courtesy and respect for a machine that could kill you. ive seen it done many-a-times where people hurt themselves and even die.

250racing, they arent any safer then a dirt bike. I rember watchin my brother race up a hill at the lake county fair grounds, on the MX track, he raced a 1988 trx250R, and fliped it goin up a hill...breaking his arm. 2 years later, same thing happened, lol, and they are worse when you jump, because you really cant move them in the air, just pray you hit the jump right, or bail if you know your in for a hard landing...lol

I personally don't have an age issue. I am 31 and the people that I hate are the ones that find it necessary to haul-a** through the staging areas where everybody is parked. Unfortunately for all the kids that ride, the majority of these people are the younger riders and you already have a bad name because of it. Tell your freinds to slow down in these areas (especially when young kids are around), there are many other places to go fast. Save it for the trail, track, or dunes!!!!!!

Im 16 and my parents raised me to show respect to people, but dont take crap from the A--holes. I am not one of those kids with bad attitudes, i hope most of you already know that.

Here is my two cents
i am 18 and i do respect older riders. I just pisses me off when i am out riding, and a soon as an older rider on his 4x4 sees a full face dirtbike helmet(motorcross helmet) they assume that we are rippin it up causin damage, bein loud gonna break things etc. I ride hard, if kids are around i take it easy, and treat other peoples quads and abilities with respect. If someone cant make it up a hill, or isnt as fast as me, thats alright, but hey they are out riding and having fun, thats all that matters.

Another large beef i have is spoiled kids. Mommy and Daddy pay for their highperformance quad that they can barely handle, hang on for dear life when they ride, and try to showboat. These people think they are better than me because they are on a new machine?

I worked my **** off to pay off what i own, sure my bike (for sale, gettin a quad) is old, but i paid for it straight up(no finacing for me) and if you want to know how hard that is simple math

1300$CDN for bike @ 7.15 per hour at McDonalds x 1 hambuger made per min every hour = how may burgers did i make to afford my bike
