Actually, and perhaps inevitably, the list is considerably longer than three but you have to start somewhere.

1. I can’t huck a bike off a twenty foot drop – in fact getting any air at all is enough to dine out on for a month
2. I can’t take decent photos of others doing the same – mainly due to a shortage of both skills and photographic equipment
3. I can’t go to the Alps this year – a deficit of time, money and goodwill from my wife puts paid to that!

Given all of that, I find myself looking at Andy’s photos of his trip to the Alps on Guided Lines with a certain amount of envy!

So, what three things would you like to be able to do on a Mountain Bike but can’t?

About the author

Matt is one of the founding Molefathers of the Muddymoles, and is the designer and main administrator of the website.

Having ridden a 2007 Orange Five for many years then a 2016 YT Industries Jeffsy 29er, he now rocks a Bird Aether 9 and a Pace RC-627.

An early On-One Inbred still lurks in the back of the stable as a reminder of how things have moved on. You can even find him on road bikes - currently a 2019 Cannondale Topstone 105 SE, a much-used 2011 Specialized Secteur and very niche belt drive Trek District 1.

If you've ever wondered how we got into mountain biking and how the MuddyMoles started, well wonder no more.
