Maybe a fair point, but the Vancouver Sun article I linked to in the forum was quite good and not what I would call lazy journalism. [https://vancouversun.com/feature/bc-spinal-surgeon-warns-of-rise-in-mountain-biking-injuries](https://vancouversun.com/feature/bc-spinal-surgeon-warns-of-rise-in-mountain-biking-injuries) Either way, what I'm disagreeing with is the disparaging remarks on the study. It smacks to me of willful ignorance in suggesting our sport is not dangerous and that there isn't a higher risk of SCIs here in BC in mtb'ing compared to other sports. When the Docs in the trauma center are concerned about the number of SCIs among mtb'ers then we should probably be paying attention to that.
