that trail is one long rut, and l think l know why.....
Did you read the OPs story? This was more about being rude to hikers and giving off a bad impression. While some trails can take a little more abuse it is still a bad look and presents the sport in a bad light.Well, one thing we should all remember is that we're from different areas. Here in the northeast, a day or two after long soaking rains, skidding can cause damage.
But now I just noticed this is in the Arizona subforum. My wife's family is in El Paso so I mtb there and in the normal dry season, it does seem like 100 people could skid there and not do any damage.
sorry, it has, but your posts was not in reply to anything directly so I was assuming you were replying to the OP.It seemed to have morphed into some other thing
What out, the topic police have your number and will stop for nothing in their efforts to gain groupthink compliance. Remember, riding a mountain bike fast down challenging trails is badIt seemed to have morphed into some other thing
FIFYForgive me MTBR trail police, for I have sinned. I overcooked a corner yesterday in a blown out dusty corner of trail and made a skid. I will gladly repent, drink 5 IPAs and donate to a Micro Brewery in order to gain forgiveness....
Thank you rockman, that was a powerful article. Fits in well with the discussion here and many others on this site where the “bro code” rules and bad behavior and illegal building is promoted.This is worth a read.....The Intersection of Public Lands, Social Media, & Call Out Culture
