I was listening to ABC radio the other day and the host was talking about how 2009 draws a close to the first decade of the 21st Century (the "noughties" as they're calling it - 2000 to 2009 is 10 years, if you don't believe me, they didn't include 1990 in the 80's did they! So neither will 2010 be included in the "noughties"). The show was asking what you will remember this decade for, what will make it stand out when we look back on it in the future.
I thought about this and then thought about mountain biking in particular and what has happened in the last decade for our sport; product innovations, changes in the way we ride and just anything to do with MTBing that, when we look back on these past 10 years, will really define what it was all about in this period.
So the question is: What will you remember about MTBing and what has defined MTBing for you in this first decade of the 21st Century?
Some things I will remember MTBing for in this decade are:
• The emergence of night riding,
• 24Hr events,
• The rise of Singlespeeds,
• The increasing recognition of environmental factors in MTBing and trail bulding, and
• Sam Hill.
Post 'em up… like a farkin/rotorburn time-capsule.
