Oh shit, are you in for a HUGE surprise! He's not the most hated on STR, MTBR and OTB by accident. For your sake, let's hope you didn't give him your cell number and/or home address. If you did, I'd start considering re-location and getting a new number. GLTY!
For my part, I spent a nice ride with my boyfriend and someone who was kind enough to be willing to drive *a long ass way* to ride with us, sight unseen.
Riding with a severe asthmatic takes infinite patience, and up until yesterday, the only person I'd ever ridden trails with is my boyfriend. (Who, as I've stated here, deserves the Infinite Patience Award). But Randy was cool and he said he didn't mind, so I told him to meet us out at Sycamore Canyon (Riverside).
Sure, riding with me takes some getting used to, but he was super cool and patient. I am sorry to say that I don't think a lot of y'all would have been as much, and not because you aren't nice people, but simply because most people just don't have the patience for it. You just have no idea what it entails. But Randy was willing and took a chance. He could have potentially had a really frustrating, shitty ride. But all 3 of us had an enjoyable time. He even gave me a hand when I took a drop too fast and ate dirt.
So I don't know what you're hating on, but honestly, he was pretty cool in my book. Even gave me some good riding advice which I took, and it worked great when I rode again this afternoon.
Don't be a hater, dude.
