You guys confusing "difficult" with "interesting", just because something is difficult - it doesn't make it interesting for everybody. Although there's definitely a pressure from the industry painting wake-mambo-jumbo as the apogee of a rider's development - the reality is somewhat different.andylc wrote: ↑Sat Apr 21, 2018 8:15 amedt has it right. It’s the most difficult branch of the sport. Most people don’t have the time to progress in it, and the vast majority even if they did would find that there is quickly a level beyond which they cannot progress, and where the risk of injury becomes increasingly high. Anyone who has tried gymnastics will probably have had a similar experience!
All of the other disciplines in the sport are accessible and fun, so naturally us average Joes choose to spend our time doing these - we do do it for fun after all...
