funtrials Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 (edited) I'll bet that SPAIN wins the 2011 TdN, and you bet that JAPAN wins. Fujinami was in 2nd place in the world going into the last round of the year, so it should be a pretty even bet, eh? And in 2008 the Japanese TdN team finished second in the world. I'll even give you THREE TO ONE ODDS! [Please ignore the fact that Spain had 14 (fourteen - no this is not a typo) grand-total points in the recent 2010 Trials Des Nations, and Japan had 218 (two hundred eighteen - yes you read that correctly) *MORE* POINTS THAN THAT!] If you take this bet then I also have a bridge in Brooklyn that I'll sell you real cheap, and I have a million dollars for you if you can just give me your bank-account information so I know where to wire the money to from my palace in Nigeria. Spain had less total points, among FOUR guys total, over the ENTIRE trial, riding WORLD-CLASS sections, than I did on ONE section (total) at the last local trial I attended, so I'm thinking that my chances of joining the Spanish Trials Des Nations team are fading fast! Seriously, though, did, for example, the US "Dream Team" (Olympic basketball - Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, etc), considered one of the best national-based teams ever, dominate the way those dab-challenged Spaniards dominate? Can you disagree with me if I said the Spanish trials team is the best national team ever, in any sport, ever? What about the Soviets in Olympic Hockey? Nope, my country alone actually beat those commies to the title in 1960 and 1980, so my money is on the Spanish plonkers. Is there something in the water around Barcelona? Do they strap their feet to the footpegs? Can they walk on water, too? Is the 1st Commandment of their religion "Thou shalt not dab!"? Does goring future-hamburgers in a stadium somehow help you defy gravity when on two wheels? Has their nation yet to discover internet porn and beer, so they spend all their time practicing trials? I WANT TO KNOW! So the questions is: what does [insert name of our respective relatively pathetically trials-challenged nation(s) here] need to do to be more like the god-like nation of Spain? Your solutions!? Edited September 18, 2010 by Funtrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
