I work in a bike shop and I have discussed this topic with many of the
customers. I would say that if you think the trails (UK) are not that good or
could be better is due to this older generation, then I would say that's
wrong…
A big problem with trail building and mtb improving as a whole here in the uk
is due to this new claiming culture and land owners having the fear of being
sewed. Health & safety didn't exist years ago as much as it does now and
its this crap that stops people from improving at a faster rate. I would
suggest the laws have to change in order to favour any land owner in my own
opinion so the sport can progress better.
If you fall off its your own fault no one else's!!
