The first rule...

6 years is a long time on your feet

Joe cocker and louise are only whippersnappers.

I went there once to find out. It was reasonably good but not worth a specific trip.

I wasn't on the original thread but from what I can tell some neophyte came on raving about how awesome and rad it was, when in fact it's a pretty tiny local park with a very short but decent trail in it....?

I heard the blue is better than the red...

There is a bit of northshore.

Which thread did Louise come from?

Hmm, the nationwide trail is bigger than I thought it'd be. I'm not making a trip from Leeds though...

Running joke, perhaps not specific to STW, seems to be rad gnar pictures from any trail down south may be tagged as Swindon.

I've been here on and off since 2003 and I don't know what it means.

I am Louise

I still miss "Conti Vert Pro".

I've only been here since 2009 so all I know is bombers and baby robin's.

If I remember rightly, wasn't there a picture of Robbie Williams in the tabloids riding a mountain bike on the trails in questions.

And so a STW meme was born...

Off to do some research.

There's trails in them there woods... 🙂

I've not been paying attention to the in jokes, been too upset about my Mint Sauce keyring.

Just realised I've been on here over 15 years 😕

That’s the issue trying to come up with new jokes and memes is holding everything back.

There's some video footage of Brendog riding the trail before it was destroyed. I'm sorry if you never got to ride it 🙁

There's a sick edit out there somewhere of Brendog riding the woods behind the Nationwide in Swindon. Looks pretty good, definitely worth a visit.

Fantastic it's great that Specialzed how these free events and all they want in return is a 10 out of 10 review on their products.

Mods get-together at the Specialized HQ.

I thought Trek/Fox were hosting the next one?

How long ago was that?

The new forum/hat eating thing was 10 years ago, wow time flies when you're having fun!

That’s what we tell everyone so people don’t get suspicious.

Sorry, would have posted earlier, but I've been on holiday.

Oh, and I had some IT problems, too.

It was'nt a spoon....apparently.

Makes the sudocrem cat seem like yesterday.

Did Raindog ever get a refund?

I'm not sure if this is the right thread but does anyone want to buy a Volvo?

I have a question regarding crown races.....

Did Raindog ever get a refund?

Coming next week I think.

Now, can anyone lend me a mint sauce key ring?

Wasn't Louise, CFH's Great White Buffalo (not)

Depends if you've been buying a permit to ride at Cannock Chase.

Is Chamomile Tea part of the iDave Diet?

I'm miffed I got a go far water bottle, but couldn't ride due to foot n mouth.

I once saw a baby robin in the woods behind Nationwide. Then it attacked a child's face.

I miss Gaston Furstburger

oh, sorry, wrong bike forum...;-)

and decade.

I've been on STW 7 1/2 years and still feel like a n00b sometimes.

It's with horror I realise I've been here in one form or another for 17 years.

All this reminiscing makes my 4 years 9 months (not that I'm counting) to retirement seem like the blink of an eye 🙂

Tinbred

Northumberfest.

Back in the day ....
When the answer to every question was either Conti Vert Pro or Inbred........

The tubeless inflation fiasco, that got funnier the more he didn't like it 😀

The star nut stuck in my carbon steerer thread was a good 'un too

this login has only been around since the Skive Off Out Biking day in 2005 (iirc)

no mention of the badger/tubeless lulz?

never did make the switch to conti vert pros, and the RQ fetishists didn't win me over either.

Octopron.

I remember Octopron.

Only been here 6 years, but just checked my MBUK/Bike Radar login to find I've been spouting bollocks about bikes on the internet for 15 years now.

(Incidentally, I've not been on that forum for about 3 years, but some of the threads there now are the same as were on the various front pages 3-4 years ago, was there a mass walk out?)

That's because you are a n00b, n00b.

The Badger...

A reminiscence thread is not complete without him...

Not a long term member but the thread got my forum memories going and recalled Richie McCoy/Mr Freeride UK and his legendary orange boiler suit (did he use to post on bikeradar?)

Anyway the only link I can find is from here [url= http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/semi-pro-freeriders-and-downhill-riders-please-get-in-touch ]http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/semi-pro-freeriders-and-downhill-riders-please-get-in-touch[/url]

Parrot trolling - my finest moment and I've framed the subsequent email from Chipps

It's also been a while since any sign of Gingerflash and MrsFlash, STW's very own Posh'n'Becks

Ah, Badger… Slow day at work, that was. Struggled to the gifs done in between wiping tears off my face.

I remember when all this was GoFar.

*nod*

On the flipside, I have no idea about most of the references from the last 5-10 years 🙂

A long time ago, and a couple of logins ago, when the site was red.
