I've always wondered about this. I know that mtb started out as a male
dominated sport. But as of recently women have really gotten into it. I think
for males, if your ego gets bruised because your GF/SO/Female can shred harder
than you, you need a reality check. Maybe you need to put in more effort to
get better? Maybe you need your So to push you harder! It totally mystifies me
when I see males getting all up in arms about females being better riders. Its
just a plain fucking fact of life that there will ALWAYS be someone better
than you.
Me personally, I've always found it pretty rad when I see women crush features
I havent hit, or even just ride stuff that they don't normal ride. Overall I
view it as a learning experience for everyone. And people need to get off
their high horse jerkface waggon and get pumped and excited for the female
riders out there, because in the end, the males with egos are only limiting
themselves.
And in regards to finding males that are on the other end of the spectrum, as
in super nice, dedicated and all for helping each other improve. If you can't
find them in the mtb community, you won't find em anywhere else!
Alrighty /Rant!!
