Man, I think s*** in the MTB industry is really, really, really good right
now. Like insanely good.
Bikes: They're freaking amazing. They're only expensive because you bought
expensive. Cheap-ish bikes right now are damn good. Look how hard we flog
them, and how light they are, and they really don't break that often, and how
they pedal as good as an xc bike from 10 years ago and descend better than a
DH bike from 10 years ago. It's freaking amazing.
Trails: Holy crap, look around. Whistler, Squamish, Seattle. Things are on
fire, amazing trails are being built by an army of pro builders. Kids by the
ton are shredding the skills parks and starting to venture into the mountains.
Yeah, maybe I'm biased because I've been involved for 15 years in trail
building, but it's bloody well working. We're winning. Things are getting
great.
Things are damn good in our world. Now carry on with your complaining.
