Forgive me if someone already said this, but I don't think any of these are mistakes. Rather, the list is just a timeline of being a mountain biker in the early 90s to today.
What people can forget is that we weren't so much developing mountain riding culture as we were transitioning from/overcoming a century or road bike culture.
I think that where we are with mountain biking after only 20 years of collective learning is pretty good compared to other riding tribes (road, city, bmx, etc.).
