If you compare this Shore to the type of stuff we used to ride in the late 90s and early 2000s, it's incredible how far we've come and what we have available now. Mountain bikers are truly spoiled.

Remember that beast and others like it?
At least with this new Shore, you can actually _pedal_ the thing up a mountain if you were so inclined. The old bikes were merely meant for going downhill, off drops, across ladders and merely coming out alive or somewhat unscathed.
I sure don't miss the bad ol' days, or at least the bikes from back then. The memories are great though.
