Old DH bikes with old tired parts, I’ll give a miss. Rejuvenating old bikes, and riding them, hells yes!

Overrated.

Half arsed ‘shreddits’ by half arsed riders.

98% of user and mag/web reviews of high end products. You’ve either been given something high end to try, and therefore don’t bite the hand that feeds you...or you bought said high end product, and it must be awesome, coz you spent lots on it.

Underrated. Redskins lollies. Gold.

Gold is underrated?

But my broker said it's a bubble?

just riding for ridings sake... sometimes quick, sometimes slow, sometimes tooling around, sometimes lost, etc

strava straight liners... the dudes who take the short cut inside the tree or whatever. Who cares if you're the strava bro for one day. Some other strava wannabee will use your new straight line and next thing ya know, you're bumped down the list, but that's become the new boring trail.
 
I had a nice cooling dip in a pool mid ride on a hot day. That was great. Second only to a pub stop probably.
