baha!... this is actually really sick

@enorbz, No sense in arguing with a wall, but here it goes: Liberals are not necessarily 'green' and people who are 'green' are not necessarily liberals or even environmentalists for that reason. 'Green' has become a form of buyer consciousness that evolved out of an economy with no regard to resource management. I believe you mean environmentalism. And if that is what you mean you are also misled. In my opinion, mountain biking is quite an environmentally friendly activity compared to most things and in order for our sport to survive it is important that we consider the environment in which we ride because it is this environment that makes riding so damn fun. However, this article was about the liability associated with trails on private land. For all we know the man who came out of the forest could have been a gun-toting tea party member (since we're stereotyping) with no regard for land conservation or the environment. This issue has nothing to do with political affiliation, it has to do with someone using something that isn't theirs in an arguably harmless way.

this is mountain biking

I have owned both and the difference is similar to that of a longboard vs. a shortboard in surfing. Longboards are fun and you can cruise pretty fast but when it comes to turning and technical situations they are no good. When you want so shred, you get the shorter board. Maybe not that strong of an analogy but the point is that there is still a market for 29ers, I just don't see them ever becoming the new standard. 29er retailers also need to realize where their battlegrounds are. XC is where the battle needs to be fought since that is where 29ers excel. 29er retailers attempting to replace the standard in DH is a waste of company resources.
