Don't get me wrong this looks like a good time and riding for 24h is no small feat but sometimes MTB is such a caricature of itself. Definitely in the running for the geekiest of action sports (still love it tho!)

Road cycling, skimo, and then rock climbing for geekiest action sports.

Every side of mtb is tragically bad. White downhill pant pit viper shades, leopard print pants, party shirts in bike parks. Everyone looks like they are trying to hard. But that's life!... if you don't cringe when you look back at photos of yourself, you probably weren't having enough fun.

This really did look like a great vibe. Seems fun and positive in every way. As for the 24h riding, never done that and pretty sure I'd never make it alive. Ever since I have had kids, I don't think I've ridden a mountainbike ride of over 2hrs. Time is limited so I was always intend on giving all I've got. I'm pretty sure that by 4hrs of mountainbiking, I'd go dizzy and tumble down my bike unaware of what's up or down. I'd really need to learn to eat on rides, learn to ride with the saddle up, preserve energy... Night time riding is always fun though.

For me, biking and skiing (my main hobbies) represent such ridiculous things to do. We pay crazy amounts of money to get down mountainsides just to go back up and do it again. I must at least vaguely act normal and dress normally most of the week. If I want to dress a little goofy while I go ride down a mountain on a $6k wonder bike, who cares?

Let people have their fun.

@vinay: Back in the NORBA days, 24 and 12 hr racing was my favorite kind of XC racing.
It's really not as bad as you might think. Far easier than pure XC racing because, realistically, most are not in it to be competitive. It's more of a communal sufferfest that we're all in together.
Far and away the best vibe of any kind of bike racing.

The only reason to say assless chaps is to wait for that exact oh so witty comeback. It's a setup you see.

If I hadn’t started riding at such a young age, a VERY long time ago I doubt I would even consider starting now due to the shit image Mtn bike marketeers put out there.

Now get off my goddamned lawn!!!!

In case you're wondering, only the crazy solo riders do 24hrs. The rest are teams, from 2 up to 5 I think, so at any given time there's a lot of mtbers just hanging out, makes for a great party. I rode it about 6 times in the first 10 years, and was a great opportunity to gather distant friends. Last time was solo, which gets tough after midnight, when you've been riding for 12 hours and some fresh kid on his third lap runs you down on a narrow section and bangs into your handlebars next to a bunch of cactus. Nowdays better sign up quick, I think it fills up in 10 minutes.
