I guess i’m getting old too because I agree 100% with all of this. For those of us fortunate enough to have ridden the actual “Ride don’t Slide” trail back when it was about the width of a moto tire, they may recall a sign on the tree at the top that read “RDS..unhook rear brake here”. Pretty sure no one I knew was riding it without a rear brake but man we loved that line and the forest it ran through..And if you grabbed a fistful of rear brake, you heard about it. Then the park opened..and that was pretty much that!
