Cr4w, I don't know where you live, so don't know your day to day experience, but I find that the diversity in mountain biking is pretty variable depending on where you are. At least in BC "hot spots" there can be excellent diversity. There are days I ride in Cumberland or Pemberton and might see more women than men riding, just as two example. Being an old fart who rode in the 90's that's great and amazing. I get the feeling that there are places that this isn't the case. Maybe with continued efforts by everyone we can have mountain biking comfortable for everyone outside the hotspots. Your point about "growth" is 100% valid though.
