As long as there are public lands to muddy up, body parts to pierce and Hey, Dude's to say, there'll
always be MTB racing.
All you need to get involved is a set of baggy shorts, an old teeshirt and some Nike's and a
stainless steel bone through your nose. If the shorts are baggy enough they'd make the legs of
Nelson Vails look like sticks coming out of a windtunnel.
Then pay $20,000 for the latest go-fast full suspension frame, ultra-light carbon everything
suspension fork, trick wheels and inferior but expensive and great looking third party components
and you're all set.
Be sure to put a set of those tires that are ultr-light knobbies achieved by blowing air through the
rubber so that they weigh nothing and wear out in 20 minutes of real riding.
MTB racing is great if you can avoid the crashing.
