They were robbed for a ton.
Buuut, it really shows what we all know (apart from your garage queeners ;-) ) that you don't need to spend silly money or jump on the latest trends, to have a blast on the trails. Sure you might go a bit quicker, be able to tackle the more gnarly stuff, but if you've got the skill and a bike, you can ride pretty much anything.
And I like that they called that out.
