I feel like these XC dorks are what people think the rest of us are doing when we tell them we mountain bike. Like yall if you can’t drop the seat and handle that rock garden why aren’t you just road/gravel biking?

It’s actually kind of interesting how xc riders come in two flavors, these sorts of cringe lords but then also the unironic extremely fast gigachads who don’t even blink as they hurl their 100mm fox 34 SL down a black rock garden

It is a little surprising how much a drop you can just roll is bothering them lol

Watching them put mountain biking back into XC is fun. People not being able to go off that drop is a serious face-palm territory but at the same time some of the rock gardens they’re putting on XC courses are kinda lowkey bonkers. So it’s like a gravel race with a UCI DH rock garden and then a 30cm drop. Lulz.

This is worse than watching road cyclists… Jesus Christ, guys. It’s a 1 foot drop. You can handle it.

XC riders somehow make the coolest sport in the world look extremely dorky and gay

XC always gets a few road bikers

Ride it first, you’ll figure it out.

This looks like something that could kill someone in this particular situation…
MTB-ing for 30 years, and I still despise baby-head rock gardens. At 73, I’ll go around, thank you.
I also think fatigue factors in here, when you’ve got jelly for arms and legs these features get much harder.
