the only time I compare laps is after whistler, after riding fromme once I'm just too lazy to point the bike uphill again

Sooke is probably too young to get it, or he wasn't paying attention in geography or history class ;)

The kids starting these new trends aren't mountain bikers. They're BMX'ers having an identity crisis.

Yes indeed. There's riding and then there's riding.

I think "Mountain Biking" is having an identity crisis. How many times have you heard XC riders say that DHing isn't true mountain biking yet that's how it started in Marin with the repack crowd, they were shuttling to DH then they added gears to get up the hills easier. Oh no, now they're XC. Then comes the Shore with it's technical moves and harsh terrain that requires moves like wheeley drops, which we didn't invent we took from trials. Time goes by and the equipement gets better and we start going faster, start looking for more jumps and flow and start using skills that, OH MY G*D, BMXers have been doing for years before us just on different terrain. Now you have DH parks where we don't climb much, MMMHHH, sounds like shuttling but without the vehicles. Back to the top.

Mountain biking doesn't need to be pigeon wholed, that's what makes it soo great.

How many of you that have been riding for more than 5 years are still riding the same type of rig on the same terrain with the same skills? Better yet how many of us only have one kind of bike?

What do you feel like doing with your bike today?

No way. Nothing like Cash. More crying in high pitch tones and more bitching about teenage love. Also more black hair.

We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

Maybe not but I just assembled a knockoff of my 1992 bike, albeit with discs instead of forst run XTR canti's. Full rigid coming to a trail near you :cool:

I ride a full rigid occasionally too, I just can't do it all that often as my ankles and hands don't take the beating like they used to.

Built the bike up to fool around on as a beginner trials, but I've ended up using it riding trails more.

Back then I used to ride a GT Avalanche in a larger frame size so this is very close, other than the Maguras are much better than the canti [HTML_REMOVED] U-brake combo on the Avalanche!
