With the proliferation of uber expensive bikes it seems like we're losing something, that part of the core identity of mtb'ing is being left behind in the chase for the latest and greatest toy. If someone's value or capacity to take part in a ride is in part determined by what they're riding then we're falling backwards, not moving forward. I don't know about people reading this, but I can head out on 20yr old hardtail with a clapped out 4" fork and have just as much fun as riding my newer and more expensive bike. Of course the trails (and the money spent to ride them) aren't the same, but the fun factor is and that's all that should really matter.
