Default The Darwin Awards for Idiot Mountain Bikers

Please feel free to submit your own nominations. -- quite appropriate
for mountain bikers who kill themselves:

http://www.darwinawards.com/misc/contact.html

Rules

So how are the Darwin Awards actually determined?

Nominees significantly improve the gene pool by eliminating themselves
from the human race in an obviously stupid way. They are self-selected
examples of the dangers inherent in a lack of common sense, and all
human races, cultures, and socioeconomic groups are eligible to
compete. Actual winners must meet the following criteria:

Reproduction
Out of the gene pool: dead or sterile.
Excellence
Astounding misapplication of judgment.
Self-Selection
Cause one's own demise.
Maturity
Capable of sound judgment.
Veracity
The event must be true.

[ What about kids? ]
[ Why so many men? ]

Not a Darwin (but not safe either)
* Whizzing on an electric wire
* Smoking in an oxygen tent
* Being hit by a train or automobile
* Aerosol cans, etc., in the oven
* Climbing into zoo cages
* Falling off precipice while posing or ****ing
* Carbon monoxide poisoning
* Most autoerotic deaths
* all too common!

Killing others: The death of innocent bystanders absolutely rules out
a Darwin Award. We don't applaud those who take others out of the gene
pool, even if they share some DNA in common. Injuring bystanders is
also frowned upon.

Thanks for reminding me to say: Mountain bikers will stop at nothing,
to get their way, including lying, breaking the law, and violence.
That's the nature of an addiction.

way to go mike! your effectiveness at stopping mountain biking by
spamming mountain biking and hiking groups
is just as effective as your fight against auto dependency!

Define "spam". I think that your informationless post definitely
qualifies. But what can one expect from puppets who are afraid to use
their real name?!
