Mtbers want more trails but it gets harder when the image portrayed is of one I can’t blame people not wanting around . Brands would want more people riding which means reaching a broader audience but they keep pushing the image of it being “extreme” or “high risk”. It’s wild that they haven’t advertised it as a means of exploring and being in nature past racing, dowhill or anything redbull promote
