The comments jones and mx985 (and rest of argument there)posted on Brent's pics in"Real MX pics" reminded me of this poem I have had on Myspace for quite a while now. Please do take the time to read it.
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."


"Citizenship in a Republic,"
Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910

Below are additional quotations related to the more famous and later quote. These quotes taken from a cdrom - The Works of Theodore Roosevelt - National Edition, A PRODUCT OF H-BAR ENTERPRISES COPYRIGHT 1997

"...the man who really counts in the world is the doer, not the mere critic-the man who actually does the work, even if roughly and imperfectly, not the man who only talks or writes about how it ought to be done." (1891)

"Criticism is necessary and useful; it is often indispensable; but it can never take the place of action, or be even a poor substitute for it. The function of the mere critic is of very subordinate usefulness. It is the doer of deeds who actually counts in the battle for life, and not the man who looks on and says how the fight ought to be fought, without himself sharing the stress and the danger." (1894)

Why did you make a new topic for this?

[Pumaxcs]

Both 985 and Jones have posted pictures of themselves riding. That kinda puts a hole in your logic here saying that they only talk but not do.

[mx985]

hahah a argument started in that thread? lol dude everyone chill out. its the internet i didnt talk sh*t on the kid i didnt say he sucks at ridin or anything. i didnt put him down in anyway, made a suggestion about the hole lots of pics on the grass that is all. its funny if somethin started from that. i havnt been in the thread for a while but anyway i dont feel bad or anything for not talkin sh*t lol carry on.

I posted it because my friends dad allows me to ride his track whenever I wish, and he comes to all my races. He told me to look this up. I jus put that what was said in the other thread reminde me of this. I'm not aiming at anyone(FYI Kevin)I was just sharing this poem because is inspired me to do better, and just last week I placed my best ever getting 2nd behind my cousin.So this is not about the posts in the other thread, just an insiration to the guys on here that may not be as good as James Stewart.
