Doggy crash

 No.. Thats fine but this was the first time... Now its okay and he run behind me... Happy thats hes outside n not at home!

 @huvolix: It puts your dog at needless risk dude, just because you think you look cool with your trail dog. I've been to trails where people take their dogs and your dog might not get in your way but they do other people riding the trails and they put you off. If you want him to go outside and be happy, take him a walk. I bet he wasn't happy when you put your front tyre on his back! Dude, you could have so easily killed him or crippled him. It's selfish and foolish.

 @RoThsChilD: iam not doin it just because it looks cool dude ... iam doin it buceause i ride bike and hes runnin outside. sometimes its necessary to do both of this (biking and walking a dog) at the same time . of course that i am going with him for a walks... And iam happy that hes okay too. believe me

 @RoThsChilD: Theres hundreds if not thousands of people that ride with their dogs responsibly and under control. Obviously theres a reckless way to do things and a safe way to do things. If your dog is well trained, and you ride smart knowing theres a dog near by....riding with your dog isn't "f*cking stupid". I'd ride with my dog more but I'm scared of her becoming a snack for a mountain lion if i lose sight of her

 @IsaacO: Really? Where did you get these figures Isaac? Trail Dogs have become more common purely because people see other people doing it on the internet and think to themselves they want to do it. Why? If i was to run over someones dog and hurt it i would be gutted. The fact is though, its the owners fault! An owner that would put their dog at risk in this way doesn't give a shit about their dog, and don't deserve to have one. The fact that this guy has already landed on his dog, and is STILL doing it proves that! The next time the dog gets it wrong could easily be his last. Why risk that? The trails here in the UK are pretty busy a lot of the time, so maybe its different in the US to some degree because you might be the only one on the hill given the size difference in the countries, but if there is anyone else riding the same trail as you, even if your dog is trained, you are risking the safety of your dog.

 @huvolix: Ah dude, you obviously don't get what i'm trying to get across about the risk you're putting your dog in. Why would it be necessary to ride and take your dog? Why not ride, then take your dog out after? I'm glad you're happy he's ok, but what about next time? It's not like you're riding a steady XC with him running alongside. Thats a DH line. What if someone else riding the line comes flying down and your dog doesn't see him and gets in the way again? Dead f*cking dog! Why do you not get that?

 @RoThsChilD: I've seen dozens of people riding with dogs in the bay area, so if I've personally seen a few dozen then multiply that by how how many mountain bikers there are in the world...its not a stretch. no harm no foul and never been in my way. Obviously taking mega FreeRide hits ( like the trail in this video) with a dog in tow is risky and unwise but just riding with a dog..theres nothing wrong with that. You said riding with dogs is stupid and un necessarily risky. this is the wrong place to be speaking out against necessary risk...we ride bikes down mountains or crying out loud. let people have their fun. If you're passing other riders at a close enough vicinity to hit their dog and at a high enough speed to hurt it...the dogs presence isn't the issue.

 @IsaacO: You can take all the risks you want. You know the risks you're taking, you accept the risks and thats fine. The dog has no idea of the risk you are placing it in, and has no choice in the matter. I was riding at a bikepark once and this guy brought his 2 dogs. They stayed with him, but when he stopped at the middle part where there are some benches and stuff both dogs stood literally a foot off the mainline. I came ripping down and saw the dogs, and instinctively i had to slow down because, how do i know what his dogs are guna do? It just needed to take one step forward and i would have hit it and probably killed it. It didn't, but dogs are can be unpredictable and pretty stupid at times and i would feel bad if i hit it, so i slowed up. Why should i have to do that just because he wants to bring a dog onto the track, where they don't belong? It's like taking a 3 year old child and standing him on a trail and saying it's ok because he/she understands not to go on the track. It only takes one mistake and it's a bad outcome for everyone. The risk just isn't worth it. Dogs don't belong on DH trails, and this video makes that pretty obvious.

 @RoThsChilD: you had to slow down? Shit, Sorry to hear that man. Looks like you're right!

 @IsaacO: Hahaha, whats wrong? Can't defend your point anymore so you need sarcasm?

 @RoThsChilD: no i just wasn't going to waste my time arguing with you when i clearly agreed dogs on Burly DH trails wasn't safe...but you reiterated you thought dogs on all trails was a bad idea. But its apparent your position is really based on the fact that you don't want to be inconvenienced by other people enjoying themselves. Dogs don't "belong" in the woods any less than we do, and they aren't taking any more "risk" than we are. Learn to coexist, its not that bad.

 @IsaacO: I also agreed that taking your dog on a steady XC spin wasn't a bad idea, the point being that you're unlikely to be travelling at high speed down a steep incline so even if your dog or yourself makes a mistake, neither you or the dog are likely to be gravely injured. The risks are less, and anyone else riding the same trails is likely to be able to avoid your dog if it does something stupid without too much bother. You're misrepresenting my point quite blatantly by saying my primary concern was my own convienience. My obvious primary concern is the safety of the dog. Like it or not, the dog is put at risk when you ride with it in tow. I have 2 dogs, and i would never bring them on a trail because if i or anyone else was to injure them i would feel like shit because i know it would have been my fault for bringing them, and i should never have put them at risk. The fact that they can force you to slam the brakes on and ruin what might have been a fun run is very much secondary, but is still something that anyone who gives a shit about anyone else but themselves should bare in mind really. Its not rocket science. And your point about 'belonging' is just retarded dude, and again, clear misrepresentation and a strawman argument. I didn't say woods, i said DH trails, and you even agreed to that. You need to focus on the issue, and not on the fact that you're losing an ill thought out argument for the sake of it and are feeling butt-hurt about it.

 @RoThsChilD: dude go outside and ride your bike. I'm not reading this anymore.

 @IsaacO: What you mean is, i'm not winning this argument so please go away. Sure, thanks for your input.
