Interesting thread.

But is it? That's the point of this thread (I think) It seems to be more the younger generation; who if not the pikey sort that just ride, trash and leave are the sort that take themselves far too seriously, have four grand bikes at the age of twelve and relish in riders not as 'talented' as themselves. I think older riders, who have passed the test of still riding after discovering beer etc, do still do the sport for what it's meant to be.
Interesting what you said about the mini dh race kona crasher - that's what it's all about. And - oddly enough - Dirt happened to describe it as an 'old school' 'no frills' race!

Well put. That was the idea of the thread.
On that note about racing check the Whistler diaries column in issue 86 of Dirt (last month page 60). Had a good chuckle and is a similar line of thought.
