people could relate to it a lot more back then because the bikes just looked like normal mountain bikes. the problem nowadays is people see something so specialist, the bikes are totally different to what a normal mountainbike looks like, so they tend to dissmiss it because they cant relate to it so much. i havent put accross what im trying to say so well, but i know what i mean. the other problems are, how many people actually ride their bikes forward? pedaling up a step with an interesting run up. also how many people go practise natural now, go into a wood and have some run with a rolling line or see some rocks that a normal mtb'er wouldnt be able to roll over. it seems to me that people are turning a blind eye to natural and thats what makes our sport. its a bike at the end of the day... not a pogo stick. ps, video was rad, brings back many awesome early memories.
