How to explain mountain biking

If you have a friend that asks, "what is mountain biking all about?" show them this video:



It can be hard to explain the role that mean-mugging and slow-mo-yellow-dust-throwing play in an average ride, so let the video do the talking.

Comments on vital and pinkbike were glowing and positive for this video, to which I have to ask REALLY? This is what you want to see from bike movies?
