I am on a different Northshore (Lake Superior’s). I am totally happy with the way NSMB writes from a (Vancouver)Northshore based perspective. After all, it is in the name! I then just calibrate what you write, into the trails I will be riding.
Where I think there is a bit of a problem, is with the larger media outlets, that write for a global audience. First of all, I (the reader) often don’t know what type of trails they are riding on when they review bikes, and second, they often forget that there is such a diversity of trails and riding styles out there and making sweeping generalizations about a bike or component’s suitability.
