      I just saw this @davis05. So true. All of it. This was all we had to ride in the 90's kid! Of course I love it! As for the other guy, well, spreading negativity doesn't help anyone. Waking up in the morning and not being a crabby pants makes me feel pretty good.

      I wish I was as cool as these guys. It must feel so good to be God’s gift to mountain biking.

      I bet @silvbullit doesn't believe in rear suspension. Hashtag flow4life. Avoid this "trail" at all costs unless you have an e-bike. There's not even a chairlift back to the top.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
