Indeed! It's more about the rider than the equipment ..... especially unless you're into the highest (national-class/world-class) level competition. And how many of us are in that class? Several handfuls?
That said ..... human nature is to hope that a single pill or better tech or YouTube lessons that we don't have the discipline to actually practice will make a difference are what marketing and businesses thrive on.
So .... my suggestion is to keep the rubber side down and remember that RULE \#1 IS FUN!
I'm 76 and help coach a high school MTB team ..... trusting you'll all do the same as you "mature"! :-)
