Must Watch: 16-Year-Old Anthony Shelly Absolutely Sending It in the Whistler Bike Park
@rbeach: @redrook: But that is what I said - read my original comment carefully.
I never said that the apostrophe makes it a plural, I said it makes it possessive, including for plurals.
Dust said that “apostrophes never have anything to do with plurals”, and I was making the point that well apostrophes do “sometimes have something” to do with plurals, not that they make it a plural, but when they’re making plurals possessive.
Perhaps I was being overly pedantic with the phrase “never had anything to do with” and that’s caused this confusion…

@roseate: Which is what I said :tup:
"The times set by (ie in possession of) plural pros"...

@DustOnCrust: Of course they do...
While apostrophes don't make nouns plural, you do use them to make the possessive case a plural noun.
In this case if we are talking about times set by plural pros, it would be the "pros' times" :book:
But anyway, talented kid and cool video :tup:

The Pinkbike Podcast: Episode 148 - How NOT to Sell Your Bike on the PB BuySell
If they say "drive" the bike, then their either a scammer, or a Finnish person!
Over here you "ajaa pyörällä" which pretty much translates to "drive with a wheel"!

Scottish XC Champion Rab Wardell Dies of Heart Attack at 37
Absolutely tragic
I mind he helped me through my nerves during some of my first enduro races by just being his kind and encouraging self, and I’ll never forget the fact he rode a gravel bike at the Xmas Slip and Slide group ride at the steeps of Aberfoyle - and did better than most people on mtbs ❤️❤️❤️
