Yeah, you're right. I posted that article more because I'm a bit tired of so much gnar-bait in the MTB media, but I guess bikepacking and less radical mtb pursuits are also becoming more trendy too, which is good in my eyes. Back to what mountain biking was for me growing up, and what it is for me now.
Not many people MTB around here (east devon) and I get some proper snooty old coffin-dodgers telling me I shouldn't be riding here (on a bridleway etc), and I sometimes politely inform them of their misinformed views, and if they carry on being jerks, I just carry on. The irony is, almost none of them ever pick up their dog shit, and lots of their kids have horses which RUIN trails for all other users.
