What's your biggest problem in mountain biking?
I'll start.
1. Cornering. Trying to get rid of leaning with the bike, instead of upper body leaning to the outside.
2. Not having enough weight on the front wheel. Probably comes from years of riding steep head angle bikes where i had to keep my weight back to avoid going OTB.
I've been working to correct these problems, but every once in a while i catch myself lapsing.

the extraction of capital to the cycling industry from the efforts of volunteer advocates leading to an unsustainable tipping point for providing recreation opportunities to the public where incentive and accountability need to be applied to those reaping rewards

Being a beater on a bike is my biggest problem.

balls....
Honestly on moderately tough to easy trails I can KOM or be top 5 on the down or up and there are ton of Pro level DH rider. On tougher stuff that is steep(over 30 degrees), has bigger than 4-6 foot drops, or tons of rocks trying to snag my pedals I just mentally can not ride it fast.

I've had a $500 deposit at my LBS since June 2019 on a new bike. Still waiting with no end in site.

Ive got 2 bikes and both are almost $7000 rigs. That's fucked (I didn't pay that much - got great deals). Hard to justify spending so much on bikes when dirt bikes are the same damn price.

I can afford the bike I want (see rideit’s new whip) but I can’t justify it.
