Thanks for posting this up, it's so true!
A few weeks ago I was at the top of Summer Lightening with two mates and I was on my retro Ellsworth Joker with green drop offs and M952 XTR. I go in a bush for a sprinkle and when I come out I see that 3 older gents have arrived, one of them on an Ellsworth Moment so I say "ahh it's good to see another Ellsworth, it's a nice one" to which this old cock half looks at me and goes "yep" in a cold manner.
His portly mate was on a carbon Nomad and the third of the trio was on some kind of Lapierre. They all ignored us despite me trying to spark up an convo.
I have also been blanked a few times when 'SERIOUS' mountain bikers come down the trail, way too occupied to to say hello or oven raise a smile.
It's time to openly take the piss a bit I think!
