Black Diamond???
All references to freeriding in the latest issue of Mountainbike Action have
been replaced with the term "black diamond". Even readers' letters have been editted. Politcal correctness at its worst. |

Black Diamond???
I read Mountainbike Action on a regular basis, but I think they went just a
tad to far. Such arrogance. |

Politcal correctness at its worst. I am one of MBAs readers to, but have bot read the last issue, could you please explain what the black diamond is? I think its a nice mag without lots of ****ty stories and freaky layout like "bike", so if they have become a tad to far out, i would like to know in which ways :-) Im from Denmark, so maybe i dont see things the way you do, so please cut it out for me :-) Peet |

Ending the confusion
Ok, here goes, quote from MountainBike Action's August 03 issue on page 17.
" You'll notice in this issue that we've begun to use a new term to describe a bike and a type of riding. The term is black diamond. When referring to bikes, it means those with over five inches of travel or that have two or less chainrings. Black-diamond riding refers to extreme riding (like the Red Bull Rampage) and down-hilling. It replaces the term freeriding because that word has come to incorrectly conjure images of mountain bikers riding off established trails. Freeriding is sometimes confused with epic or all-mountain riding (long rides on singletrack, dirt roads and jeep trails). |
