A) If you're talking about the old hiking trail stuff from the Trans event then lolz
B) Do you really think walking/hiking originated in Europe?
@Gary was that to me? ours is often crowded and full of people at many different levels, are many different ages, and on many different forms of wheels. collisions, which still happen with some frequency, often result in ambulance rides. so common practice is to use one direction. when its more open or red-bull does races, it's multidirectional/open to interpretation.
and @sethimus the tiny size is to match our horrible trails on our widdle east coast mountains. duh. and yes, i strongly resisted the urge to respond with the obvious "well so's your..."

You are missing the point, friend.
If you are doing something that someone else doesn’t like, well, we have the freedom to go buy a gun, and shoot them.
PROBLEM SOLVED!
where exactly in north america do you have something remotely similar to the european alpine cultural landscape that made it necessary to develope a vast networks of trails and paths to connect all the small settlements up in the mountains? there is still so many unused space on the american continent that it just wasn't needed as you could do all the farming on easy accessable terrain and didn't needed to transfer wooded mountains to grassy alpes
Just generally splaff
If designed properly a pumptrack should work well in any direction. So it's just stupid to limit its use. Obviously communication, common sense and common courtesy are required tho.
Disneyland bro
They gots everythang
oh right
IF NOT Europe THEN North America??
Geez mate. Both Asia and South America have oodles of centuries, if not millenia old Alpine trails.
*edit granted, they're not often cobbled etc. And Australia has nothing like that that I've ever seen haha.
Do you mean Macadam, or actual pavement?
Seth, claiming it's the only place is so full of shit..... Like trump speech levels of full of shit.
There are NO if's or but's about it.
but it is well known that wandering animals in mountains were only introduced to the Americas when the White Man showed up
Some of the trails around here have archeological digs showing continuous use for 9000 years.
From bears obviously, humans didn't have camp fires or tools until Yurpeens arrived and had exclusively used trains for transportation.
I heard they had streetcar networks all throughout the mountains
we have lost so much with the dominance of the car and now e-bike
This Stolen shit infuriates me..even as 1/8th boriginal!
We stole it from the Giant lizards….but no one thinks of the lizards, and crucifies us for it.
The 7/8ths side also likes to tell, do you think we wanted to come down here 250yrs ago with hardly any mountains with the premonition view to the sport of gravity bicycle racing, infested with legless lizards that make you either bleed out or in and die excruciatingly, have big black spiders that do the same, ambush swimming lizards at every freshwater hole thatll drag you under and roll you until youre out of breath and then cruise around with your carcass as a victory show…andnif you do try to swim off the prison youre a chance at being bitten in half escaping!
Not to mention the continent human beings all came from. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recent_African_origin_of_modern_humans
Dude, really. Do you have to be a fucking cunt? It was a sincere question and now you're taking the piss. So fuck off.
I can only assume you somehow missed my sincere and detailed reply. Right above the post you lost your shit about.
saw somebody on reddit claiming that it was people not willing to pay retail who were killing the industry
y'all can call me the undertaker with your $4000 entry level builds

completely glazes over the "buy up local shops then switch to direct to consumer" moves like spec and trek do around here.
Bought my daughters bike from a local independent shop, only to realize later that they had it advertised cheaper online.

I've been hearing about the death of the LBS since I could buy mail order parts from the back of BMX magazines in the 80's. Shops need to evolve but I hope there is always a place for them.
I still go to shops for service I don't feel like doing or for small parts and such. Stans, rim tape, brake pads, housing. I was a little flabberghasted last time they charged me $56 for 5' of shifter housing, so I may not do that again. I also bought my daughter's hardtail through an LBS thinking it would be good to help them and have a route for service and warranty. Then I remembered that warranties are a gamble and most service I can/will/have to do on my own. I'm 10 miles from like 4 shops and I honestly don't know that I can safely recommend any of them.
sounds amazingly familiar to back in california days, circa 2005.
Mate. There are litterally no Bmx shops left in the UK... Every former BMX shop owner will tell you they simply couldn't make a living anymore because of mail order/online stores undercutting them on every single product they sold. (THERE'S also zero money in repairs and servicing on BMX) .
Was a dedicated BMX shop ever a good business plan? Maybe - maybe - sometime in the 80's?
How often does a "good" bmx break?
My 80s Raleigh got a tire once, got the pegs stolen off of it.
I can see little money in selling them.

Heard a rumour that Rocky found a buyer, and sale should conclude April 4th.
