smith and felton- hopefully you live in an area with plentiful trail access, but here in san diego we simply need more trails. too little has been done to organize sponsors in this direction. the tribe mentality thing jut isn't working. kudos to their points. i'm surprised strava was't mentioned as an issue. for trails alone it's done more to dumb them down, a la sponsel, than anything i've ever seen. often done by riders with a single vision of seeking kom status but rarely taking into account, or knowing, what they are doing. besides destroying habitat for better sight-lines around turns, turning trails into bowling alleys often results in issues of erosion and trail sustainability. additionally starva has exposed hidden trails, which are now closed. as mentioned above, we already have too little trail access due to the multiple small parcels that most trails traverse making legal issues a long and losing process, stravatizing existing trails and getting the good stuff other people spent their time building closed are two huge strikes to me. the final strike for the out is the regression of mtb hospitality by the strava e-racers who are the antithesis of the spirituality of mtb riding, which is akin to soul surfers. as the saying goes, stop and smell the roses.

amen brother

i own the trail. now get off my grass, young punks

btw, the rider, harry, is a san diego local and is a dedicated rider. he has a small business selling small items such as the iMountainBike t's and socks he's sporting in the pics, which i imagine are virtually unknown anywhere outside this area. can't afford an ibis? no matter, add a little mojo to your flow website: http://wwwimountainbiketrailscom.businesscatalyst.com/index.html cool vids too.

danny is a space alien star-fighter that is amazing to watch, but matt is so smooth it makes me want to go out and ride. should both win in their own respective categories.
