Here at CanadianMTB we definitely don’t think XC Sucks. But apparently, some people on the internet do. After reading one too many of those comments, Canadian XC ripper Lief Rodgers decided to respond.

The result is XC Sucks. A fun, short video that juxtaposes some of the most common, and weirdest, internet comments with Rodgers’ impressive riding. If you had any doubts (we didn’t), this 66 seconds of little-bike shredding should put that to rest for good. If you’re already a fan of XC, it’s just really fun to see how hard Rodger’s goes on a 100-mm travel race bike.

Here’s what NOBL has to say about their young shredder:
