What does your comp really think about you?

I got this idea from a few of the BMX magazines, over the years, every now & then they would have an article with pros commenting on their competition anonymously. So given that, I thought I would see what 41-45+ cruisers had to say about each other in a few words or less & the first thing to pop in their heads. By the way, you gotta take the bad with the good boys. Everybody was pretty good natured with most of the comments so don't take it personal.

Lorne Wiberg - "Good guy", "He's back!", "Needs to race more", "Injury prone".
Matt Spencer - "Always grinning", "Good talker", "Too damn awesome!", "Fast", "Machine", "Junkfood", "Too skinny".
Mike Kelly - ""Instructor", "Good guy", "Power", "To the cone", "Good gate", "Darth Vader", "Stash", "Intense".
Doug Cheney - "Always tries hard", "Awesome", "Getting quick", "Geritol".
Jason Melton - "Cocky", "Jokes", "Tight shirts", "Attitude", "Smooth", "Shops in the kiddie section", "Too serious".
Chris Clift - "Consistant", "Gate", "Consistant"(2), "Will cut you off", "Smart ass!".
Dave Cote - "Competitive & fun", "Nice guy", "Big", "Smooth", "Absent", "Getting faster", "COG!".
Bruce Ritter - "Mentor", "Helpful", "Fast", "Who?", "Fun to race", "Too serious", "1st straight", "Taller then Sams","Sharp elbows".
Steve Spencer - "Fast as hell", "Great guy", "Godfather", "Dammit!", "Brutal in the corners", "Too sneaky", "Skills", "Manual".
Brett McGrath - "Fun loving", "Hi!", "Jumper", "Sweet bike", "On the comeback", "Old school", "Profile". "Scruffy".
Jason Macauly - "Never gives up", "Persistant", "Go!", "The man", "Facebook", "True passion", "BMX!", "Can I have a Hell yeah?!".
Tony Sams - "Great mountain biker", "Hi!", "Quick", "Awesome start", "Grizzly Adams".
Justin Alvey - "Sneaky fast", "Tips", "Old friend", "Quicker", "Needs to jump", "80's freestyle", "Dr?".


Enjoy,

Looks like you & I need to lighten up, lol. We were the only ones to get the label "Too serious".

Teens tend to clam up with interviews & quotes. I'll leave that to somebody closer to that age group.

Bruce,
In addition to that I seem cocky and have an attitude, which is not how I mean to come across. I am usually a bundle of nerves and nervous........ so I need to work on my people skills.
I am appreciative of the comments and like to know what others think.

way to take it like a man! :) it's interesting hearing what other people think of you, not always what you want. I recently learned that people think i'm kinda mean at work. :(
