[Closed] Is this what Mountain Biking is about?

Agree with NorthWind.

Personally, I'd love to do a heli drop!

I hope they drop from the chopper on their bikes and ride off 😈

to make it more niche it should only be open to those with Raleigh choppers 😆

Mountain Biking is all about arguing with strangers on the internet.. nothing more.. nothing less..

It would seem that, for some, mountain biking is all about taking interwebs forums way too seriously....

"Mountain" biking covers a wide multitude of riding styles, terrain, bikes etc. Why do some people feel the ****ing need to pigeon hole everything all the ****ing time!!! Why does it have to be about a definitive [b]any-****ing-thing[/b]?

As long as you are on your bike and having fun without ****ing things up for other peolpe what does it matter? If you really want to wring your hands about environmental damage, go comment on one of the F1 threads so beloved of here.

I'm firmly in the "it seems positively unethical to ride down something that you haven't first ridden up" camp.

I'll fix that.

Or of course, insulting strangers

Wide spread of responses. On balance, I preferred mountain biking when it [u]seemed[/u] that the folk involved weren't the same sort who might try (say) jet skiing on a otherwise peaceful body of water at the weekend.

I blame trail centres and Canadians myself. Every Canada has given the world has been a force for bad e.g. Freeride and Rush 😀

Just spent the evening in the park with my friends having a barbeque, getting pissed, and messing about on some drop offs and jumps. Today, that's what mountain biking's all about for me.

The event was downright bloomin AWESOME

the Heli lift just added something special to the event!

I demand proof of this..
