Screenames: what do they mean?

When I first started mtb'ing the group I was with had a tendency to take way to many breaks and I kept begging them to continue on. They asked "What are you,some kind of Pain Freak?". A few months later I joined a very big group doing an epic ride and somebody there called me the same thing. Then before I knew it everyone was reffering to me as Pain Freak, so I started using it as my alias. And no, there is no other meaning to it, I don't honestly like pain, but I do enjoy a very hard workout.

Two weeks before I do my 7th double century, is it to early to start crying?

 

7th of the year?

 

Doh! Sorry, 7th all time for me. I did 6 year after last (2005).

But a few of the guys I ride with do all of the doubles posted on the California Triple Crown website and that is like 15 doubles in a year.

Did I just highjack another thread? Sorry!

 

My name is Johnny and I like Dirt?
:beer:

 

Guys at work (years ago) when I worked construction jobs nicknamed me "boboso". They said, it means your name (Bob) and Bear (Oso) as you are like a bear with us. I then said, "so it does not mean "drooling idiot" like it does in Spanish?" They were a bit put off as they asked "you speak spanish?" I said "just enough."

It has become a term of endearment however for me and the guys, some of which still work at the same location. I have moved on to management, but my nickname will stick. I am kinda proud of it...

 

I grew up in Nebraska where all we had was Husker football....so now in CA.........xhuskr

 

Don't you love it when you can catch someone like that...my guys called me "Pellon"sp? and gave me some bs answer....then when I told them I knew and was comfortable being called Baldy they all laughed....

 

take a WILD guess. haha. (Fire Fighter Ryan)

 

I am Jason from La Verne.

 

im brandon flores. and the foxrider part just makes it sound a little bit better, my next one will be BFloIncycleRider. lol

 

The shark teeth in my car did it for me...

 

G.R.P. are my initials. My mom would occassionally say them phonetically... Gurp. My birthday is on the thirteenth and I think it makes me sound hard to put that number on the end of my name. So, gurp13 to honor my mother who passed in 1998.

 

1. The thing I ride the most :clap:

2. to try to loose this spare tire...

3. While drinking this...:beer:


It's still not working

4. Hippy music is good too:bang:

Pacman is short for Pacifier Man--which my buds nicknamed me because when I first got into MTB'ing, I would whine about the climbs--cuz I was fat and out of shape. One of my buddies brought me a pacifier one day and said that it was for me to suck on during the climbs so I wouldn't whine. The Pacman name came about 10 seconds later.

I took the pacifier and clipped it onto my CamelBak--where it is still attached to this day, 3 years later.

Funny sidenote--now that I've lost almost 50 lbs, I'm the best/fastest climber in my crew and now I "whine" when I don't get enough climbing in. I made a (small by most people's standards) goal to climb 100,000 verticle feet this year. I need 8,333' a month and am already at 30,000 so far. Not too bad for a fat boy with 3 kids.

 

Hoo-Yah, Genus. :drunk:

I was 98-04. I remember an AD once told me: "See this? (he points to a widget on the overhead of the helo) If oil stops coming out of here, you are going to crash. So plan accordingly"

 

It's got nothing to do with Wu-Tang. Because I'm just not a very good rider (hence my current status on the disabled list), I dubbed myself OverDaBars on SoCalMTB.com several years ago, back when that site was still a nice little community. Folks started shortening it to ODB and it stuck.

 

i used to be downhillross13, pretty explanantory. bbut my new name i dont know about really. someone suggested it and i took it. does someone care to explain for me?

 

because im white.

 

I used to use LBguy cause I'm a guy from Long Beach. Then I started using LBmtb everywhere once I got into biking. Been thinking of changing it but everyone knows me as LBmtb now.

 

But, George... how do you pronounce that???

shudder... Because I am sheet skeered of steep hills and don't wanna fall down (as I inevitably do).

Not really.

shudder came from a photo forum site I spent a lot of time on over the past five years (DPReview)-- there were all flavors of Michael there and I wanted to stand out, so I went with shutter, but no no no -- that was already taken (of course) so I got clever and went with shudder. And now I am known as shudder-from-the-internet over there (too long and irrelevant a story to explain here).

But, for here, the first explanation makes the most sense.

Oh, and I hate climbing.

But it's the only way to get up there so that I can take my pics!
