I almost always ride on my own and pretty much every ride manage to share at
least a greeting with every trail user I cross paths with. So, while I don't
think there's a cultural problem in the areas I have ridden (North Shore and
around Brisbane, Australia), I would hate for one to develop. I'll actually go
further to say that as a consequence of my experience I feel that MTB has an
awesome sport in terms of culture. As a keen viewer of world cups and FMB
events it seems that way at the top too. Anyway, I don't mean to trash this
piece- I like it. Of course I have experienced and viewed exceptions to what I
wrote above, and it always irks me when someone ignores a hello on the trails
or is an ass on camera. I grew up surfing in Australia and my experience of
the culture there was awful. I'd dearly like MTB culture to stay somewhat as
it is now.
