When I ride, why do I feel the need to "kick your ass"?

I mean no harm. I don't really want to kick anyone, but the term sticks.
And when we are grinding up the big hill, I will say with my best Asian accent that, "I'm a big ring krimer".
And proceed to kick your ass.

Why do I feel the need to "kick your ass"?

Because I want to make sure that you feel what it is like to get your ass handed to you. The same way my ass was handed to me, oh so many times, by riders much stronger than me. Yes, they completely kicked my ass. And I learned to love the feeling. I learned to savor every painful pedal stroke while getting my ass kicked. I learned better body position, better breathing, better strategy and I vowed that I would hand out just as much punishment when I was able to. Which brings me back to "kicking your ass".

You see, when I'm kicking someone's ass, I can only do it by kicking my own ass. Because if I'm not kicking my own ass, someone else will be kicking it for me, you see?. And it all comes down to, would you rather kick some ass or be kicked in the ass?

I vote for ass kicking.
