Really? Is this how lame competitive XC mountain biking has become?

Bull City Cycling Partners
Objectives and Goals
BCC members strive to improve the sport through friendly competition, promotion of responsible cycling, and development of the area's cycling community. We compete in cyclocross, mountain biking, road cycling, and multi-sport events locally and regionally. Additionally, we actively participate in community-based bicycle advocacy programs and are planning bicycle safety clinics for children and new riders. Perhaps our biggest presence is our visibility on local roads and trails, where we lead group rides for a range of abilities and promote responsible conduct and goodwill between members of Durham's diverse and growing cycling community.
Mission Statement
Bull City Cycling (BCC) is a Durham-based cycling team dedicated to promoting the awareness of all forms of cycling in North Carolina's Research Triangle. BCC showcases cycling as an integral part of a healthy and environmentally-conscious way of life through transportation alternatives, fitness, and sportsmanship. BCC participates in community-based cycling activities ranging from advocacy to competition, and is officially recognized by USA Cycling.

You know someone posted this up on our local board here in Memphis and the consensus was much as you've said: lame. I guess I disagree a bit, though, as I'm impressed that they did put a few technical features in. It's still not real mountain biking as far as I'm concerned, but it at least tries to use some of those skills in a decidedly non-mtb park. Not great, I guess, but not bad. And hopefully it will get more roughed in before the actual race.
What Memphis thinks:

sometimes it's difficult to tell how steep something is from a helmet cam, but it definitely isn't very technical looking. well, i guess until cyclocross makes it into the olympics, this is what we get. my pick for the gold: sven nys!
