We've all probably bench raced with a few people over the years that you just know are full of BS. Some are blatant BS, like "I jumped the Olds Double in reverse" and some are more believable BS, like "I was over 100mph all the way down sand hwy."

So when you hear BS, do you call the person on it or do you let it slide, nod your head, and just laugh inside?

I have done both. It depends on the person and the way they present the BS. Many BS stories are quite entertaining. But some are so idiotic that I have to call the person on BS to their face.

How about you?

i call the bs to their face

you got my answer already posted

I'm the same as you on this one KG. THe best one was this guy I was talking to about him jumping his funco. He said "We were like 8...10...15 feet in the air man! It was bitchen!" I said, "Well which is it? Your jump just grew a hundred percent!"

if they are the arrogant type and just talk BS to put themselves up on a pedastel, then I have to knock them off, but if they are just caught up in the moment and increase their jump or speed by a somewhat believable amount, then I will let it slide.

Most of teh BS stories are told second hand and I let it slide. I am one of the second hand BS'rs I must admit....elobarate Nate or Nate's World as they call it

Just laugh inside and move on

Since you're all full of $hit, it doesn't really matter...!!!

I'm surprised at you KG. You're usually a very tactful guy.



It's not like you to call Mr LV out in a thread like this.

It depends on who it is.

I tend to not hang out with people that have to tell everyone how good they are. I prefer those that speak with action.

Since I am a salesman, I sometimes have to let it slide. I always love the quad or motocycle guys that think they can keep up in the dunes, they obviously haven't followed some of the buggies out there. I always call them out, unless if it means $$$

I laugh in their face and call BS!!

I just gas it and jump again...

Dammit Doug, I didnt say I jumped the double in reverse, I said I did a backflip while jumping the double!!!

Hey Doug, Let me know when you would like to see if 100+ on sand highway
is BS or not or you could just ask esco

it it does not affect me personally or my family,(extended) then I could care less...they are only fooling themselves...and someone will help them stick a foot in the mouth sooner or later...

Mr LV was catching you on that run

IF ITS A GOOD STORY,? I LET IT GO. IF THE GUYS
A MORRON ? I LET HIM HAVE IT........I LIKE THE STORIES THOW!

Hey I know lots of buggies can do 100+ on sand highway. But it's the guys that say they were over 100mph the entire length of sand highway and never once slowed down at all that I have a hard time believing.

I'm sure it's probably happened. But quite a few people have told me this story. Do I believe all of them? Nope.

I just laugh and move on. I don't think i'm so arrogant that i have to call someone out regardless if it's the biggest BS in the world. I grew up believing that it was rude to insult someone to their face. Even if they are full of crap.

sometimes you have to be rude if the crap pile gets too high

I live by the rule ..... that you never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

I know that I called BS on that story about they bandit's in the south dune's and in return I was called ( ASS EYES )

Can any one tell me what the hell that mean's

Thats a new one on me. And I have been called many thing's

Dont worry about that Ass Eyes, I mean Sand Spaz!! We STILL dont know the whole TRUTH to that deal.




On the whole BS thing, I guess it depends on the person and the manner in which its presented. If its a good story, Ill let it go and just note that the person is a BS'er. On the other hand, I have shut a few dork*y arrogant people down.

Coobie

Its ASS EYE'S

OOPS I mean Sand Spaz!!!

I not worried. I just thought it was funny. Still never heard that term before.
But then again I have heard funnier thing on the pre school playgroung.

dude...

when i read that "ass eyes" comment i was like...how old is this friggin KID?? never heard that one before either.

if its in person...i usually encourage the person "yeah no s***? tell me more!" and then i jus lauf inside!!!

online...i never waste time.

I got a buddy like that...we call him the "STORY TELLER" funny thing is He belives his own BS The newest adventure - he and his bro's were snowmobileing near Tahoe when all of a sudden he comes to a cliff overlooking HWY 50...so what does he do Get this...He tells me he pins it hits the cliff and goes flyin 70-80 feet across the Highway......Classic got any fishing stories??????

I'm very skeptical about what I read in the paper, or see on the news... and especially about what I'm hearing from a gov't worker who says "We're here to help."

I'm a lot more gullible about stories that fellow duners tell me.

Take for example the stories Chevota tells me. He might tell some REALLY wild story about what happened last weekend. But I have no reason to doubt him.

He always has the cuts, bruises, broken bones, casts, broken bikes or broken trucks to back it up.

Funny topic!

I can usually let stuff slide. Especiallyif it's harmless and a good story.

But in the arena of technical items, if someone is depending on a straight, truthful answer, I do try to get info out . Unfortunately , there are some that have believed "old wives tales," for so long, they actually believe they're true.

And those are the ones that always get offended for having their balloon popped. Is ther a real tactful way to say someone is not telling the truth?

Carl

Ditto, some times it's in their face, others, a silent chuckle or shake of the head

I was at a local dive in my area when some ASS EYE started in with a story about how he jumped his blaster over a telephone pole. So, i told him how i jumped a 5 hourse brigs & straton mini bike over a school bus. I knew he wasnt telling me the truth but it gave me a chance to tell him my TRUE stort.

I usually just let people tell their story and then make fun of them behind there back.

So post away socaldmax.

It's like this! this one time ,i going 200mph in a a parking lot and stopped on a dime ,,,man those new brakes realy work when your flying...........................................................................................LOW!

There's this really nice guy named Brad who's really helpful to everyone on the board.


Aw hell. Who am I tryin to kid. Everyone knows that ^^ is complete BS.

As soon as you put “nice” and “Brad” in the same sentence I know it was BS.
