I call them Neddles. Usually found all pretty forested trails, green plants with little hairs, if you touch then they'll hurt and ich like a mofo!!! well I took a turn a little to wide today, and I wear short sleeves usually for riding,, got my whole arm swollen from these stupid things!! god it hurt.

Just thought I'd share something that annoys me

Yea we have thorns here to. Yestarday I was out riding with some friends and we were stuck taking runs at ramming down shrubs that were 3 feet tall and in our way, lol couldnt do it without the 4x4 though.

The thorns I hate are those ones that just appear one day and werent there the last. grr.
